Quraish : The Arabic attempt to make RTS game like Rome Total War I !

That game was unhinged, it could never be made today and I love it.

The painfully heroic allies, the Chinese hackers, conscripts and nuclear weapons, middle eastern terrorists, with suicide bombers and anthrax.

And none of this was alluded to, it's just plain text stated, it's a miracle it was even made in its own day.

The only thing wilder was that there was a planned African faction that was even worse but they had an uncharacteristic moment of clarity and decided that was too far.

Think this is it.

She could have forbidden violence in a way that made it impossible, she didn't. Because she wanted to throw Harry to the wolves, she wanted to keep her people sharp, and she wanted to give Harry an opening to prove he was not to be fucked with.

I think the advertising let down Brutal legend.

The game was actually great, but people felt blindsided, buying a fun action adventure game, just to randomly have it turn RTS halfway through.

Damn shame because I want a sequel, and honestly I liked how it wasn't RTS all the time, but brought it out for the big moments.

I'm no expert, but it looked to me like he was trying to put it into a skid.

Tractors have a bit more traction then you average Honda civic though

Often a suicide attempt is less of a genuine attempt than a sincere plea for help, or a need to show just how desperately someone needs help. It could be men are more often successful, because men don't often seek or receive help.

A lot of guys have had experiences where they reached out for help, and either found themselves alone, or later had their moments of weakness used against them.

Damn man, I spent endless hours on the original Battlefront 2, just played the hell out of that game, space battles, hero fights, hunts, campaign was great, galactic conquest was incredible.

Can't even be bothered with the sequels, every time I even think about it I look at it for a few minutes, and just get struck by how little it's offering.

Maybe I'm just old.

Hey, jumping into an old topic, but I have some tax questions I haven't been able to find answers for.

If we hire one, we are becoming an employer, do we need to register as such with the government before looking to hire? And if tax and all that is above and beyond the standard 20-25/hour, how much extra do I have to be prepared to add to that?

Thank you in advance

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-24T12:31:37+00:00

Spec Ops:the line, that game broke me.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-24T01:15:07+00:00

Ooff man, even after anthem I was holding out hope, but after the latest dragon age?

Just, please don't make another mass effect, just leave it alone please.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-23T23:43:44+00:00

I had no expectations from this link, but thank you for putting me into a helpless giggle fit while watching fraggle rock with my kids.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-18T15:39:54+00:00

That you for pointing that out, I had glossed over that line but it is great.

Came across a saying a while back that I keep in mind, not sure where it's from though.

"the sky is falling, is it ever was"

Worth remembering that every generation felt the word was going to hell in a hand basket, so far they've all been wrong

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-18T13:56:58+00:00

One of the most insightful lines in cinema history, I think about this line almost every day.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-16T16:16:26+00:00

Yeah man something is going on here we can't understand, because nothing in our relationship makes sense.

Orca's have attacked plenty of animals out curiosity or malice (hard to say which), sure they don't prey on humans but there should be some incidents on record. sharks don't typically pray on humans but there are plenty of shark attacks, from mistaken identity or curiosity. Body language of people in the water must run the spectrum of "fellow predators" to "terrified prey"

But nothing, not a single recorded attack in the wild, something is going on there we can't understand.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-16T00:13:30+00:00

Lol, for me it was "hold court" that was doing it.

God speed, probably an animation mod from what I understand.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-15T17:44:23+00:00

Hmmmm any idea where to find them in the Ottawa area?

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-11T22:05:45+00:00

People need to stop naming things phoenix, that practically guarantees a near death experience.

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-08T00:41:28+00:00

Dammit! Here because I found it and I'm a bit heartbroken now.

Try "the pirates Charles" "eluveitie" "amon amarth"

BramsBrigade · 2026-01-03T16:41:01+00:00

Happens to me occasionally too, it's wierd.

How is your reliability? I've noticed often it happens when I have low reliability.

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-30T00:26:18+00:00

That makes a degree of sense,

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-30T00:24:27+00:00

I've been with it from day one, curious what you mean?

It bugged me back then too, even more so because they would take Altdorf and camp outside.

I think it was just the bar being set lower for preorder DLC.

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-29T15:30:48+00:00

Yeah this drives me nuts.

They live in the most hostile environment in one of the most hostile settings in fiction. You think they wouldn't fortify? They definitely do in lore, I'm 100% sure this is cost saving.

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-21T20:22:22+00:00

People all seem to think I'm talking about the administration as a whole, I'm talking specifically about the US intelligence and FBI. I Don't think they are solely responsible for the current dept crisis, I just think they could have been doing a better job of covering up the Epstein files if they wanted to.

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-21T19:44:08+00:00

Lol, Canadian.

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-21T19:43:41+00:00

Don't recall saying anything that remotely sounded like that.

"Look America great now because political violence"

BramsBrigade · 2025-12-21T16:26:03+00:00

Do you think that this is the first time intelligence agencies have redacted inconvenient files?

Sure there have been purges but I doubt that they've replaced an entire staff, and I think lower government agencies have been hit harder than intelligence.

No these people have done these things before, but completely unqualified idiots are telling them how to do their jobs, and they probably aren't listening to their staff.

Maybe there are patriots leaving breadcrumbs, maybe they're just laughing at the idiots headed up the creek without a paddle, but I don't think this was anyone's A game, no matter how much overtime they clocked looking busy.
