Why does everyone want to trot out TOR as the big-bad?

The game isn't even aiming for the same niche market as CoH. The games that are, CO and DCUO, are also hoping to hit it big in the console-game market as well. Computer and console games have not been able to play well together so far. And Cryptic is even shunting that part of it's market down the line

DCUO is another story. The art direction is great. But the premise, that you get to fight beside the great iconic DC chars, is kinda off. You get to be reminded constantly that you are about 10% of the hero that they are. And that Bus you just threw? it acts exactly like it was an inflatable beach toy!

Hey kids! I snuck this dumpster into the concert! Let's bat it around

That would be difficult. There's a small pond between us

Neither one of us plays on the Virtue(less) server either, so Teh Cyb0rz is out of the question as well

Hiya Kelto-Iberians!

a carrot in every pot

18 meter tall stone faces for everyone

extinction for the human race in your garden! oh, wait...

Who's sending you the 'American' beer? Miller is owned by SAB Breweries located in England. Anhueser-Busch is owned by InBev, which is a Belgian/Brazillian conglomerate. That means the only 'American' beers are now local microbreweries that won't be seen in the EU

Like I'm going to let recent scientific research get in the way of a good mental exercise?

Placebo affect, to help you ignore the bitter and notice the other flavors. I couldn't eat black licorice or drink buttermilk when I was four years old either. Now I really like those flavors. If I followed your advice then I'd be having Cream of Wheat three meals a day!

Curious. But did the Russians ever apologise?

Classic Roman gladius technique: Thrust upward under the ribs as hard as you can, then twist the blade. Wicked attack when used from behind your shield and marching in formation. There's a reason why Rome ruled the known world until horse riding archers appeared from across the steppes

I don't know what to say, other than it was a misunderstanding. Mod8 thought you were attacking the religion and not the views presented.

Personally, I'm an agnostic social-democrat. That's probably why I like the EuroLounge area. But most people here in the USA (about 78%+ give or take) are religious and a goodly number of them are fundamentalists that get their panties in a bind about any perceived slight. That's all I'm going to say or this will turn into a long rant, and nobody wants that

Just try to roll with it and keep like-minded Murikans in the conversation

It's not an acquired taste. Your taste buds are just being overly sensitive to the bitter elements. Roll your tongue a little and keep the beer where your sweet and savory sensors are. That's when you'll discover the malty flavors. Tastes like a slightly sweeter and saltier version of liquid bread. Educated taste, not acquired

Be open to new experiences. It doesn't hurt!

Oh, c'mon G_G! It's like drinking a really dry wine for the first time. All you can taste is the spoiled grape juice.

You're palette needs a chance to get used to it. Then you can begin to notice all the subtle notes of flavor that are present

Beer and wine exist for the exact same two reasons: To get you into an altered state of consciousness or to compliment the flavor of your food

You get to decide which

You think it's bad there?

They serve the Guinness COLD here in the States! All you can taste is the bitterness when the stuff is cold.

You have to wait 10 minutes for it to warm up properly before the Guinness is even halfway enjoyable

Living in a country with hot summers has the downside of it being a nation of lager/pilsner beer drinkers who only want it cold
