Hi everyone,

From the end of this year the European Union receives a "President", which will be elected for 2,5 years to represent the European Union on the international play and to council the 'European Council of state-and governement leaders'.

There hasn't been much certainty about who will be elected, some names have already been mentioned and amongst those: Tony Blair.

Certain people don't want to see Tony Blair representing the EU internationally as "European President" and have started an online petition. The goal is to reach 1.000.000 votes.

Why not ?
Besides there are a lot better candidates for this job, think on people like Guy Verhofstadt, Tony Blair doesn't represent at all the values and standards where the European Project stands for, not while he was PM of GB and not now when his political career is nearly entirely ruined. The EU is not an institution to give posts and titles to flopped political careers!

The petition can be found at www.stopblair.eu and has been made in 9 languages.

Best Regards,

Just spreading out the word.

As I'm studying Laws I should say something useful here regarding this matter, but... I won't.

Kill ! Kill ! Kill !





To aid constructive (and very short): IM are no legal sufficient proof in the European court room, unless of a murder case it might be 'a part of evidence', but it is not enough to get someone locked up (same go's for videos btw, unlike common believe) for keying your car. Not sure about America, as the law system is totaly different there.

Just tried a BF2 demo... Yep, I'm sure what to play.

CoD4 is a lot better, better graphics, sound, ect... But BF2 just felt better. Can't explain it, perhaps the demo is cheating on me but... I'll wait until CoD4 has dropped in price before buying it.

Now, regarding BF2: what version(s) should I buy ? I read about some expansion packs (Vietnam, ect...), some feedback would be good.

Thanks,

Hehe, didn't even noticed my '666' posts

Anyway, just tried a CoD4 demo, while it looked very good it didn't really got me going into the story - perhaps normal as it is only one map.
It do is frustrating: you got to cross an double laned street and jump over a car wreck to get to a house where you got an objective, but at the window you have hostile gunmen shooting you. You take them out, 3 secs laters they are replaced. You actualy better run whiling being shot at and hit to the other side, instead of taking them out from distance to cross safe. I know, it was like that in CoD2 as well but... It isn't making any sense. Positive is the AI is doing very nice, but not convincing enough (in the demo) to jump up and go buy it. A friend will bring along a Crysis demo next week so.. I'll see how that is.

Hmm... perhaps find a cheap BF2 afteral to teach Peckers how to play ?

Quote from rc10racer :Never played COD4 so i would recommend BF2. Most of the Mercury team plays it (well was on till 2am playing it last night so tis not that bad i guess).

If you ever get bf2 you can play with me, bawbag, rooble, [Duck], dombo, paulc2k, viper, baby bio and jonesy......... but bf2 is only good when you know how to play it decent enough because theres so many jet hugers that just do nothing but wait for a jet.

Finally I can beat Peckers at something!

I'll sleep well over it and think about it. More feedback welcome, it is (still) a tie between BF2 and CoD4.

Quote from Jakg :
Why can't you buy both? BF2 is cheap as chips these days...

Not here. CoD4 is in the shop €60. Even if BF2 is €10 then (which is unlikely) it is too much for my budget.

Don't the realism mods sort of fix that jet and teamkilling problem ?

Mars.

For the myhtical "God of War" tone added to it. And the planet looks like it had a good war too millions of years ago.

A strong tie between CoD4 and BF2 now... With CoD4 just taken the lead... I remember the SP fun I had with CoD2 so...



But BF2 sounds good too... Damn it!

Not a rock fan, but sounds good! If you ever come to Belgium... Count me in, not sure how you dance at rock ? Do you even dance at rock ?

Good luck

Quote from thisnameistaken :I haven't played Crysis multiplayer, but I haven't finished the single-player game either because it "does a Far Cry" and turns rubbish half-way through. I suppose you'd want especially good performance to play it online, and it's tough on hardware - I don't think it would be a good choice for a multiplayer shooter.

BF2's fun but full of annoying children. Haven't played COD4 so I'd pick BF2.

Yes, that is also what I heared about Crysis. Multiplayer wasn't that good either for Crysis.

Online gameplay is indeed important, however a fun singleplayer campaign is also welcome. Though the main focus is indeed on the online part.

BF2 and annoying kids ? Oh noes I got the old Delta Force: Black Hawk Down here and I really like to play it still, but the problem is it is also full of kids, or people who jump from clan to clan, ect... Ruins the fun of it.

Thanks for the advice, BF2 just got a big closer to be bought.

Feedback regarding games needed

Hi everyone,

I got a little question. I'm willing to buy myself 'a good FPS' in the coming month, to have some shooting fun. I find a community in a game very important (no Counter Strike whining kids or people who say on everything 'fak u' or such), but the game itself is of course also important. Graphics don't mind me: the gameplay and fun does.

Now I am doubting between 3 games:

-Call of Duty 4
-Battlefield 2
-Crysis

CoD2 I enjoyed véry much, so it is tempting to buy CoD4 again, however on pure gameplay and durability of being able to play Crysis seems better: more options on how you want to play and not the linearity.

However, Crysis also has it's flaws. Graphics wise or system requirements are no problem here, but I heared the shooter isn't that fun either after a time. Yes, you have many options and you're own moving paths (no linearity as in CoD4) however after some time that was just a bit the annoying part - a friend told me, not sure if this is true.

Battlefield 2 is a very exciting game, however it feels a bit 'arcadish'. Therefor some people made the "Project Reality" mod and it looks really, really great !

Bottom line is: it's a draw. I really can't choose and as it has been proven in the future I hope the LFS Community can aid me with some good critics or facts I haven't read / heared about or own game opinions.

For the moment I'd say BF2, just because of the realism mod. Not only because the mod is great (and we'll all agree some realism isn't bad ), but it shows also that there is still an active, good community in the game. While Crysis is new and.. I'm doubting a bit on the durability I can play Crysis, don't feel like paying so much cash (for a student) for a game which can be played with a full community only for a year or two.

I really can't make a final choice
So, if you have played any of these games or friends who have and told you about it, any feedback is welcome in order to make me decide!

Thank you very much,
GC

Anyone could explain to me how to make the front wheels look like they're turning ?

And where I can find Blender objects (such as wheels, rims,...) ?

Thanks

I saved it again in C:\
No sign of the image.
