Missy Pissy Victoria would go spiral-eyed hysterical if she ever dipped her toe into EVE Online. Holy moly.

China was and remains a “no-trust” culture.

Ironic that they use an image from the game “Elder Scrolls:Oblivion” where you are prompted to create your character of any race, to include Redguard, who are black warriors.
What tripe.

And the “study” is countered by a National Review writer who plainly states she neither likes nor plays video games. The two of them make a good pair.

How about the last time Africa sent a man to the moon?

Mount and Blade, a medieval combat game I use to play on my old pc was so much fun. One of my top games of all time for fun factor. Pure hack and slash with horses too. I think I’ll give it another try after this lame story.

Well fine. Have the Muslims make a game of the Muslim conquest of the middle east. Then, have Africans make a game about African tribes fighting each other to capture slaves from neighboring tribes. Then, lets have Chinese empire building games. Then Japanese feudal conquest games. Where’s the game that in a manner is reminiscent of Jenjis Khan? And oh my God... You mean a majority white continent, that has been at war for thousands of years, has white people? Quell horror.
These idiots just want to erase all white history. They are emboldened by the success a few people have had over the confederate flag.

have noticed young leftists are remarkably uneducated in anything that challenges their worldview. Ive taken a walk over in the DU swamp quite a few times - when someone posts something that might be uncomfortable, unlike FR, where people jump in, and do a good job explaining how facts can be skewed, in DU the threads are simply ignored - they drop dead - if they are uncomfortable. No entries - or name calling (They do love to name call) - or they are pulled.
When I'm bored I go that that unspeakably tedious site as well, and listen to a more-leftist leftie tell a slightly-less-leftist leftie how the slightly-less-leftist leftie is doing the bigging of the 'reich wing' by posting 'reich-wing talking points' and 'dog whistles'...it would really be funny if it weren't so frighteningly sad!

That's not even a small part of it. And yes, EVE is very much like what you've seen in that trailer. It is also very hard in the beginning, and it does not reward the unimaginative, the weak or the lazy. But stick with it and you will have your mind blown on a regular basis. There is an immense, awe-inspiring and incredibly well worked out back story that is being given more prominence by developers of late. Couple that with the sandbox, player-driven nature of the EVE universe and you get something really compelling.

I still have my AH copy of Kingmaker. Unfortunately buried in my storage unit for the near future.
It is still played by the board wargaming community.

I think Ill give it another try after this lame story.Mount and Blade: Warband is one of my alltime favorites! There is currently a beta release (now available only via Steam, but soon will be in final release) for the Viking Conquest DLC. It was developed by the Brytenwalda mod team for Talesworld (M&B's developer). It was a little buggy at first, but with the new beta patch, it is tons of fun!! I just got the patch this week, having not played for about a year and can't believe how much fun it is. It is a bit more challenging than the base version, especially on full difficulty, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

Okay, I’ve played with it a little. The last time I did any massive multi-player stuff, it got to be too stressful. Will see how this goes for a while.

The Middle East also had some impressive history during the middle ages. Then of course you have the Mongol invasion. It is racist and retarded to think only whites were involved.

I had forgotten about Kingmaker.
I was a bit of an Avalaon Hill game geek back in the day, but Kingmaker was one I never got around to playing, although it looked pretty good.
