Patty cake patty cake bakers man, bake me a cake as fast as you can :mad:

I was in love with an albino. Her lack of pigment seemed like fun. Her skin, the whitest alabaster, her eyes as pink as pinkest bubble gum.

Then one day it snowed real hard and she disappeared... :(
 
Congratulations to Gamera for beating the Red Brick house at the beginign of Snake Eater!!!
 
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

"We actually owe far more to the so-called ‘barbarians’ than we do to the men in togas."

Parry, based in Shrivenham, Wiltshire, presented his vision at the Royal United Services Institute in central London. He identified the most dangerous flashpoints by overlaying maps showing the regions most threatened by factors such as agricultural decline, booming youth populations, water shortages, rising sea levels and radical Islam.



Parry predicts that as flood or starvation strikes, the most dangerous zones will be Africa, particularly the northern half; most of the Middle East and central Asia as far as northern China; a strip from Nepal to Indonesia; and perhaps eastern China.

He pinpoints 2012 to 2018 as the time when the current global power structure is likely to crumble. Rising nations such as China, India, Brazil and Iran will challenge America’s sole superpower status.

This will come as "irregular activity" such as terrorism, organised crime and "white companies" of mercenaries burgeon in lawless areas.

The effects will be magnified as borders become more porous and some areas sink beyond effective government control.

Parry expects the world population to grow to about 8.4 billion in 2035, compared with 6.4 billion today. By then some 68% of the population will be urban, with some giant metropolises becoming ungovernable. He warns that Mexico City could be an example.

In an effort to control population growth, some countries may be tempted to copy China’s "one child" policy. This, with the widespread preference for male children, could lead to a ratio of boys to girls of as much as 150 to 100 in some countries. This will produce dangerous surpluses of young men with few economic prospects and no female company.

"When you combine the lower prospects for communal life with macho youth and economic deprivation you tend to get trouble, typified by gangs and organised criminal activity," said Parry. "When one thinks of 20,000 so-called jihadists currently fly-papered in Iraq, one shudders to think where they might go next."

The competition for resources, Parry argues, may lead to a return to "industrial warfare" as countries with large and growing male populations mobilise armies, even including cavalry, while acquiring high-technology weaponry from the West.

The subsequent mass population movements, Parry argues, could lead to the "Rome scenario". The western Roman empire collapsed in the 4th and 5th centuries as groups such as Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Suevi, Huns and Vandals surged over its borders. The process culminated in the sack of Rome in 455 by Geiseric the Lame, king of the Alans and Vandals, in an invasion from north Africa.

Parry estimated at the conference there were already more than 70 diasporas in Britain.

In the future, he believes, large groups that become established in Britain and Europe after mass migration may develop "communities of interest" with unstable or anti-western regions.

Any technological advantage developed to deal with the threats was unlikely to last. "I don’t think we can win in cyberspace — it’s like the weather — but we need to have a raincoat and an umbrella to deal with the effects," said Parry.

Some of the consequences would be beyond human imagination to tackle. The examples he gave, tongue-in-cheek, include: "No wind on land and sea; third of population dies instantly; perpetual darkness; sores; Euphrates dries up ‘to clear way for kings from the east’; earth’s core opens."

TOP STRATEGIST


Rear Admiral Chris Parry is the armed forces’ chief “blue skies” thinker.

Parry, 52, was educated at the independent Portsmouth grammar school and at Jesus College, Oxford. During the Falklands war in 1982, he was mentioned in dispatches while serving with the Fleet Air Arm on the destroyer HMS Antrim.

Parry is one of Britain’s leading specialists on amphibious warfare. He once commanded the assault ship HMS Fearless, was in charge of amphibious warfare training at Portsmouth naval base and headed a joint British-Dutch taskforce before moving to his post at the Ministry of Defence.

The admiral heads the development, concepts and doctrine centre, set up in 1998 and based at Shrivenham, Wiltshire. It has more than 50 staff and is being expanded to include extra analysts.

I just started Operation Snake Eater, then I found a horse, then The Boss beat the crap out of me, then some soldier guys were coming for me, then I hid, and I saved :confused:

I don't know why anyone wouldn't regard this as one of the best Ps2 games ever.

MGS1 was pretty great, MGS2 was good, but IMO this blows them both off the water.

Zenien, I can't find the Demo Theater mode :confused:

I want to look at those CQC techniques more carefully.

Indeed, Snake Eater is my favorite game of all time (looks like GOTP could be a beater though) Its breath takingly good... come on Konami... get Subsistance out in the UK! :mad:

I actually played Snake Eater once and found it kinda fun.

But Subsistence with its new badass camera = :up:
 
Hmm... I still haven't finished MGS3. I think I should get started already. But I'm not exactly in the mood for a story heavy game.

Maybe you have to ebat the game first, I can't remember. There's something weird like you're suppose to select "I like MGS3 the Best!" on a save file. So maybe just make another save file and try that. :cool:
 
Oh and Nathan, one kick ass avy you have yourself there my friend. :up:
 
And speaking of Subsistance SONOVAB!TCH!!!

I preordered it on play.com a while back where it was scheduled to come out this Friday... and now its set its date make to September.

Ok, after repeatedly listening to the MGSII Main Theme I think I'm in the right mood now.

CGI simulation of meteor colliding with Earth

The velocity of the meteorite is 70,000km/h. But the meteorite is bigger than we can imagine, so that it appears much slower. In the impact at the same time as colliding The earth's crust of 10km in thickness where ground in the earth is composed is wholly peeled off.
