Depends what kind of history you're being taught. Frankly, I can't name a period in history that people don't have some measure of bias for or against, but at least antiquity and the middle ages shouldn't vary from county to county. The civil war and civil rights, on the other hand, that's something with a fair bit of…

True, but I don't think there's a whole lot of that in high school. Even the AP and dual-enrolled classes available to advanced students tend to be survey in nature.

Except they don't actually teach history. True history is multi-disciplinary and isn't strictly limited to "name the battle that changed X" or "name the guy who did Y, and where was he from?". Knowing WHAT without knowing WHY is entirely useless. I blame the influence of the geographers. While they're a perfectly…

So, just to be clear, Life Hacker is now Cracked.com?

What do you expect from a guy literally surnamed "The Bastard"?

Well, they have four studios... which kinda explains why Bioware is starting to come off a lot like Ubisoft. SW:ToR is completely farmed out to Bioware Austin and there's another studio in charge of an online battle game.

The other games are balanced between Edmonton and Montreal... but yeah, Bioware Edmonton has been…

Some still do.

"When was the last time an errant sword flew through the walls of a hospital and killed 20 innocent people? Or a stray polearm impaling 6 children on a beach? "

The Middle Ages.

Seriously, as part of their "practice" the lords would arrange various melees around Europe - often without telling the hapless peasants in the…

Haven't played since release, but the game was definitely evolution over revolution. It wasn't bad or anything, just needed a few patches to straighten itself out - I'll probably give it another go this week.

Nothing new for now. I need to finish Splinter Cell Blacklist, Aperture Tag, and... I think that's it? When I'm done with those I'll probably start up a new game in Deus Ex: HR or DA:O. All of this with some EU IV, Victoria 2, and Tropico V on the side.

Yes Mike, for science. Just be happy you don't have to jump through portals, avoid lonely kawaii turrets, or spray practically-magical paint everywhere. We all have our burdens to bare, just so happens that yours is one of the easier ones.

The earlier Pokemons are, at the same time, easier and harder than the newer ones. For Gen 1, the biggest issues are Psychic types and the lack of two special stats. To explain, attacks are either physical or special in nature. For the most part, physical attacks are modified by the attacker's "attack" stat and the…

Speaking of memes, I'd like someone to make him into the moon.

While his queen would have them eat cake

Oh, that was the cavern of the neraverine for me. It's a great anecdote for explaining how RPGs used to be, before the days of the magic pizza slice. Seriously though, I never want to be given biblical directions in a game ever again with that "find the three fingers and then go through the eye of the needle" crap.

Us…

Eh, not as bad as finding that stupid cave with the bandits. Or that abandoned mine that can net you a Daedric weapon of your choice.

Maybe OP shit like that is why introduced level scaling?

Eh, the Telvanni tower is pretty cool, but the Hlaalu stronghold is just so... perfect. It has the right blend of fortifications, the appearance of a stately manor, and the perfect geographic position for most players as Balmora was basically the Whiterun of Morrowind.

I hope this team comes up with something really…

Hlaalu stronghold is best stronghold.

Does that imply that she bought word?

Depends on the setup.

In addition to an active trigger, bombers can also employ a dead man's switch and have the device explode in the case of their death or lose of consciousness. I'd say the major benefit of a crossbow is the relative silence.
