Regarding the Privateer and Star Control entries: I am 100% sure that there will be an extensive Star Wars mod for Star Citizen. Also probably Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Farscape etc.

Sheep for wood is at least better than having wood for sheep. OT: Well, let's hope it will at least be better than the Battleships movie.

First: Of course Apocalypse Now used Vietnam only as a backdrop. The story was originally set in the Congo. Second: Audiences have often a very hard time differentiating between the realism and the "truth" of a story. Just look how Evangelical Christians interpret the bible.

It is a competitive game in western nations and the pro leagues are open for men and women alike. Problem is that women just don't compete. The LoL circuit has, to my knowledge, never had a single female pro. I'm sure the reasons for that are complicated and many. So the idea to make female-only...

Does anyone with a boat and some free money to invest wanna set sail to Brazil with me?

No, Liam Neeson finds her in the Albanian sleazeball headquarters dead from OD. It was even worse. In the first movie the French domestic intelligence service was in on it, even his own friend. Like France was the worst banana republic.

Accidental double post, please ignore.

Well, if you start arguing like that then the death penalty is already against that whole unalienable right to life thingy. And if the government is shitting on those rights big time, why shouldn't small-minded informers in your neighborhood shit on them small time?

Eve Online. Enough said. No classes at all, do whatever the fuck you like. Elder scrolls games go maybe a tiny little bit into that direction as well.

While not exactly a monarch Willy Brandt, at the time chancellor of Germany, dropped to his knees at the memorial of the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto.

I guess it's because in the actual Bible story the staves that are replaced by the sword are very much relevant and used for a lot of magical stuff.
