I would honestly say that the game isn't worth buying for the pc. if you have a console then it's probably worth renting. It's not that it's a bad game just that it's very average. The focus system is cool but on the pc the fighting can feel very random just hit the buttons and hope with the changin...

Thats just fucking hilarious. I think that I tried that sort of screaming fit once when I was a toddler.

Decado the Ice Killer is probably one of the finest swordsmen in fiction though both Duncan Idaho and Paul Atredies were excellent swordsmen (though Paul was probably a better knife fighter). The greatest swordsman title has to go to Cohen the Barbarian. What other 80 year old could take on an army ...

I suppose it depends on what you want

For a meal in a glass nothing beats guinness.

On a hot summer day a bottle of Corona.

Sitting watching football, it has to be a can of Tennents.

For a more civilized beer with a meal Budweiser Budvar.

Wrong. It is an attempt to describe the universe as accurately as possible. The belief that science has achieved perfect comprehension of the universe would be a religion. However some religions are about attaining an understanding such as Buddism and reaching a state of Nirvana. Wrong. Science con...

I would say that a religion is a system of morality, the two being very similar. The main difference being a system of morality is based on secular premise while a religion is based on spiritual premise, Law of God or Law of Man. Religions, by which are meant the modes of divine worship proper to di...
