Muzzling private citizens while giving exemptions to newspapers who give free advertising to campaigns *and their websites*, under cover of writing a news story, is unacceptable.
I wonder if I should go ask this Democratic challenger some tough questions since he’s just going to be in town and all.
I picked up Gradius V a good while back, but only yesterday got around to playing all the way through. The reason of course is that I play that game as it is designed: like an old arcade game. I play for points, not to win, which is good because playing to win in that game is just absurd.
I was curious, though, so today I sat down and played through the game in some sense. I’d played so many hours that “free play” was on, so what I really did was just keep dying and continuing until the game was over.
And now that I’ve done it, overall I have to say the game is disappointing. The movie scenes are annoying, the new weapon options you get after winning are weak, and too many parts of the game are unplayable without massive upgrades.
It’s a good thing I won’t ever even SEE half the game playing it my way: once through, without continues, to maximize score.
No I’m not censoring it, because I think this is history. About Israel, President Bush said this to Prime Minister Blair:
See, the irony is what they need to do is to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.
Thought for the day: I don’t care if Greece is in NATO or not. Macedonia is Macedonia, not “FYROM” or other such nonsense.
