Both FA3 and FA:NV crashed on me randomly. I would say both did about as frequently. Sometimes you could play for 2 hours with no problems, other times it crashes in the first 5 minutes. Now that I think about it Oblivion was the same way.

Someone posted a Dwarf challenge on another site I thought was pretty cool. Basically you take enough wood for some torches and a few saplings, and then you stay underground for the rest of your play. You would have to do an underground tree farm, which is where the saplings come in. I did something similar to this on one map, and its actually not a bad way to play the game. I found a random map and very close to the starting point is an expansive cave system that goes all the way down to the bedrock. Perfect map for a dwarf game. Also this is normal or hard mode only.

Been awhile since I played minecraft. I don't even have it installed on my new PC yet. The weather included on a previous patch made the game completely unstable and get lower FPS on my older rig, shouldn't any problems running it on my new PC though. Any reason to upgrade to 1.8? I'm one of those who waits for all the mods I use to get updated before I go to the new update.

Technically you couldn't beat the game with starting barb equipment, because at one point you need to use the storm ruler. Unless you get enough throwing knives or something, but some could say that isn't starting barb equipment either.

So long as corporations are considered "people" for purposes of campaign donations/advertising, and can spend millions on lobbyists, there is no hope. Hope is the wrong word I would use. It only means the elected officials who take money from corporate lobbyists put the interests of its citizens secondary to that of those who contribute the most to their campaign. And no I don't trust my government as far as I can throw it.

Here is a link to that defense system I was talking about Israel using: http://thedefencejournal.blogspot.com/2011/07/c-music-to-protect-israeli-airlines.html This is practically star wars stuff. Uses a laser to intercept a missile and its supposedly fully automated. Airforce one likely has something similar to this except its probably way more powerful.

It could be a lot of different problems causing this, as some have already suggested. From experience, I had a similar issue before and it was actually my PSU overheating and cutting off due to the fan going bad inside of it. This was a brand new PSU, it was a Seasonic 850w silver. I RMA'd it and bought a new one and it solved the problem.

You know, most people would rather just play and enjoy their games without thinking about stuff like racism.

The main reason we are in this economic crisis is because the government got involved in areas it shouldn't be getting involved in. Like telling banks who they should be loaning more money to. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it's hard to believe that our financial institutions, regulators and politicians could be guilty of incompetence on such a grand scale. It was obvious from the mid 00s that this was all going to end in tears. Governments were borrowing staggering sums of money that would have required ridiculous levels of growth to keep up with, banks were not only throwing money at people who were never going to repay it but they were also lending it to governments whose economies were disasters waiting to happen. Note how none of those responsible for this mess are picking up the bill for it. The regulators that failed so spectacularly are still in work, politicians are still lining their pockets and the financial institutions are making a killing from debt repayments on debts run up to bail them out. The ordinary tax paying citizen is being robbed, it's a transfer of wealth on an unimaginable scale. Its not a conspiracy theory, their policies are pretty well documented. There have been a multitude of very incompetent people elected over the years from both political parties.

The left doesn't have a monopoly on emotionally lead responses. Try dropping a crucifix in a glass of urine. You will see a fairly emotional response from the right as well. Can you say ballistic! I was going to make that point as well, but discussion about it is forbidden.

As long as there are corporate lobbyists, the government is compromised to the interests of corporation and cannot be trusted to be non partial when it comes to corporations.

I am more worried about civilian aircraft. Military aircraft have safeguards, like white phosphorus flairs and exhaust dampening. Civilian aircraft are far more vulnerable. Imagine 10,000 9/11's without the world trade center, happening all over the world. This reaches far wider than just the few countries that looked the other way. After a few get blow out of the sky by stinger missiles, they will start putting defense systems on civilian airliners. Seeing as how they always wait until after the fact before they take measures to defend against it. I think Israel has already done this on some of their airlines.

My father, who was a former Liberal, big left wing guy told me the main flaw in that ideology, is the people are completely emotion driven, and often don't think very logically, and form opinions based on emotion instead of facts, logic and common sense. Using things like playing the frustrations of the poor and using it as a means of class warfare is one means of emotion based politics, and ideology. But in the real world it doesn't make a lot of sense seeing as how the rich are the ones hiring people and creating jobs. The tree huggers are 100% emotion driven people, there is no logic or common sense at all behind their actions or agenda.

They already got fallout, which is TES with technology.

They will end up being fired at US choppers in Iraq and Afghanistan. I dunno if anyone remembers the defeat the Soviet Union had in Afghanistan, but they went from raising hell in Afghanistan with choppers, to them dropping out of the sky in mass when we handed them shoulder fired surface to air missiles. They work just as good on US choppers.
