@thedudeofgaming: Wow, that's the worst comment I've seen in a while. How dare you, man.

Sure some commenters have actually been fans of what Putin is doing, but suggesting that Ukrainians revolting against a corrupt government makes them responsible for another country invading them is ridiculous. It's not as though they pushed against the government to get this new crappy government in; they have complaints about it, too. But people everywhere in the world should be able to voice their criticism of terrible governments killing their own people without somehow deserving to have a bad replacement government come in or have their country attacked by another nation. That makes no sense.

This guy has every reason to be concerned about the chaos in his country, and blaming him for another country coming in is about the worst thing I can imagine someone saying in this instance.

I'm not blaming SnakeVSGiantbomb, I'm blaming the west who's using Ukraine as a pawn against Russia. He has every right to be concerned for his country. But If you really think that the revolting had no outside assistance well, you have the right to think whatever you want. But no revolt happens spontaneously.

And to my knowledge, Russia has deployed troops in Crimea, and Crimea only. This was requested by Crimean leaders and seems to have the support of the people who inhabit Crimea. Perhaps you missed this part. Because for like the third or fourth time the majority of Crimeans are Russian or at least declare themselves as such. And they do not want to be a part of a country that's obviously anti-Russian.

You know what's funny though. When the US decides to invade countries, laws are a distant afterthought. There still hasn't been a fired shot in Ukraine, but you act like Russians are carrying out a genocide against Ukranians.

@thedudeofgaming: Ha so if Russia invade America to"protect" Russian people in USA it would be okay with you.We are not blaming,we know we fucked up,but you have to understand it was not without help from Putin.Tell me one source were there are legitametaly normal native Crimean people who help from Russia.As I said before there will be two elections this year , presidential,than government .New government are willing to give people in Crimea as much power as they can handle,and if it will be not enough they can through diplomacy and referendums decide do they want to be in Ukraine.I don't know we're you from but you obviously do not know about people in Crimea.

Would I say that Russia has the right to invade the US to protect Russians there? No, because they have no historical (apart from Alaska, see you soon capitalists!) or ethnic claim to any US soil. Crimea on the other hand is a completely different area. And they have at least some legitimate claim to it.

Now yes, the video is from RT. But other sources have reported on the pro Russian element of Crimea. Regardless, if this pro Russian element decides to break away through violent means if need be, even if they aren't the majority. Can you explain to me the difference between that scenario and the one that took place in Kiev only a few weeks back?

We can try to defend any of the 3 sides, but the truth is there is no innocence. All you'll see now is each party trying to protect it's intrests, and hey you can call upon whatever law you wish. But the most important law is might makes right. And right now it seems Russia certainly has the might to take Crimea.

As for the ethnic structure of Crimea from the couple of sources I've looked up, over 50% of the population declares themself as Russian. This makes them the majority. I frankly don't understand why you would expect them to become a part of the EU, which lets face it, doesn't always have Russia's best intrests at heart, to put it lightly.

If this crisis ends with Crimea becoming part of Russia or breaking away from Ukraine to form an independant country, I'd say that's a happy ending compared to the unlikely, but still possibe alternative of war.

I'm from Serbia btw #biased. We're all biased here, to a greater or lesser extent.

Well, currently the only thing "your" revolution acomplished was gaining a powerful enemy (Russia) for an undependable friend (NATO). From what I've seen and heard so far, all the westerners will do is throw a couple of threats here and there and then try to talk it out. They'll impose some sort of sanction on Russia, we'll see how long that lasts.

What I'm getting at is this. You've only yourself to blame for the situation you're currently in. And more importantly, the majority of people in Crimea declare themselves as Russian and do not want to be governed by the new regime, the same way you didn't want to be governed by Yanukovych. It was actually the people of Crimea that asked Russia to step in. Most of them seem pretty happy by the Russian intervention.

And the situation in Crimea is a clear example of the famous double standard of the west. It's okay for people to determine their political future, so long as it serves our intrests.

As for any talks of war. Trust me, NATO will never risk a war for the sake of Ukraine alone. The politicians will give you vague reasurences and they'll say that they hope that the situation can be solved diplomatically, but that's all the help you can expect from them.

Regardless I hope the situation becomes stable, but that will require one side to back down. We'll see who it is.

And I could say something about your incentive to "spread the word", but I'll keep my mouth shut. I seem like enough of an asshole as it is.

I really liked Dishonored, but the biggest problem I had with the game, one I'm sure many share, was the fact that to get the good ending you had to play the game without killing too many people.

It's a pretty dumb and at the same time awesome restriction. It makes sense, you play as a pacifist you get a good ending, you play as a psychopath you get the bad ending. (Un)fortunately, unlike the original Deus Ex, Dishonored has really fun combat, in my opinion. So while I was playing being all stealthy like a ninja all the time I was thinking "Man, I could sneak up to that guard over there and slit his throat open"

Loading Video...

Tell me that that isn't awesome!

But in the end, I have only myself to blame. No one forced me to go to the Dishonored wiki and accidentally read the part about the endings.

In any case, it's apparently better than the new Thief game... so that's a plus I guess.

The world is about as interesting as watching paint dry. I'm sorry, but the lore is completely generic fantasy stuff and the writing quality of the characters and side/main quests are laughably bad. I really can't understand why Bethesda would put so much time, effort and more importantly money into development, but say fuck it when it comes to the writing.

The combat is pretty clunky. And the environments aren't all that great. It's either snow or caves. With a little bit of swamps and a small of land with a warmer climate near Riften. It all really looks quite monotonous.Once the joy of exploring the world is gone, there's really nothing good left.

Skyrim is regarded as a near perfect game by a lot of people. It's managed to create such hype and praise, that it simply doesn't live up to it. As it stands, it's an okay game.

So yeah. I too once considered Skyrim to be the best game of this generation. It's not the worst, not even close. But it's certainly the most overrated. Obviously, this is just my opinion.

There comes a time when a series looses all ties with what made the early entries great (something I fear will happen to Fallout 4 without any evidence). But Resident Evil has definitely reached that point. If they can make it like what Resident Evil 4 was, great, awesome!

Hint: They won't.

And that's why. I've only played RE4, for the record. And I think it's really good.

Yup. I live in Serbia, so gunshots on new year's are a relatively common occurrence. It's also a safe bet that the dudes who are shooting may have had one or two shots of brandy.

Whatever man, it's tradition.

@monkeyking1969: That could have been one way of dealing with the situation. Too late for that now. What could have or should have been no longer matters.

Putin is already so close to tipping the scales to being another Stalin. (Though some have argued he's already there) He's going to do something real stupid soon.

Yup. He already sent millions of people to their deaths in gulags, and purged an incredible number of his perceived political adversaries as well as creating and maintaining a cult of personality.

Care to rephrase your post?

No, I'm going to keep it. He's destroyed what little democracy they had left. Pretty much anyone in a major political position is his best buddy. He's changed the rules to allow himself even more political might and stay leader as much as he wanted. He's massacred innocent people who wanted their independence, instead of just making SAR's like China did. Anyone who stands up to him lands in prison as a political prisoner. Not to mention a big part of his platform is just passing laws to thumb his nose at the West. The man is a dangerous, arrogant, leader who does not care about the Russian people in anyway.

No, he doesn't do as west dictates. That's what makes him dangerous. I'm sure you'd love to see another puppet like Yeltsin in power. Never going to happen again. If people who elected Bush, twice, not once tell you something is wrong, you must be doing something right.

Massacred innocent people who wanted their independence?

That's how they went about it, got what they deserved. Also I guess that saying rings true "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." I'll make sure to take special note, and quote it when someone attacks the US again. If you cared to read the update in the main post, you'd see that right after Russia the US is the next primary target for the radicals.

I feel into the trap of arguing with someone on the internet. I know what my New Year's resolution is going to be.

Taking a wild guess here, but it's something about not getting into arguments with random people on the internet? And maybe not defending terrorist motivations?

Anyway, guess it's fine so long as the US isn't the target.

It's new years and I've got places to be and liquor to drink.
