Yep, I also think so. My comment was mostly on an old interview he explained about dropping out the Sid Meyer's part on new titles.

Crunch made sense then when all employees more or less owned the company.

I also like the fact that Sid Meier was never on board with having his name sticked on every product but the publishers pushed him to do so because of people like Peter Molyneux.

I always wondered why on towns they still had dirty broken houses full of skeletons.

I remember well going for a quest, seeing a cave and then falling through a rabbit hole into a death cult while being a laughably underpowered magician.

It felt closer to what I commonly experience with D&D than other games, mostly due to the combination of freedom and curated world.

That said, yes combat was dull, uninspired and probably the weakest part of the series.

The best they made, for me, was Morrowind.

While I enjoyed the rest of entries and I'm very fond of the Shivering Isles, IMO it was the originality of it, its story and art, but also the freedom it granted.

My advice would be to go back to that time and instead of massive places, just build a fun place to explore.

"A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" is a pretentious art film that mostly based on its production gets lauded, but it is still a boring exposition of beautiful b&w cinematography and nothing else.

Not a horror movie, less a greatest one.

As I mention above, the central power in SA needs us to keep other regional powers at check and the Wahhabi in power.

Even if government officials where involved on the attacks, that would be against the direct interests of the Saudi Crown.

In all cases, 9/11 was stated by the perpetrators to be used as an attempt to take the US out of SA (sacred land for Muslims) and every one had allegiances with either the Muslim Brotherhood (and through it Iran), Al Qaeda or, like in Bin Laden's case, both.

This guy though fell from grace and started his campaign against the US during the Iraqi invasion, when the king and government decided that his plan of fighting with faith wasn't as sensible as US tanks and planes.

In fact he tried to convince the Saudi scholars to issue a fatwa against the US deployment, but they preferred to keep their necks.

What I'm trying to say is, the SA government is a cruel, despotic and brutal regime but had little to no benefit from aiding in 9/11. Did they fuck up? I guess royally so, but I don't see why would bite our hand.

Then again, I know nothing...

Whom in the Saudis wanted to take such a risk? I mean the Wahhabi needs us to keep the cash and weapon flow going if they want to keep in check their rivals.

I'm not disagreeing, just want to understand their motivations.

After all, Bin Laden was not Wahhabi at all, at odds with the Royal Family and had an upbringing at Muslim Brotherhood camps, which at the end of the day are managed by Iran, one of the main powers in the region and the biggest threat to SA.

In that regard, intentionally or not, Bin Laden strategy would weaken SA, which fits with what the Brotherhood wanted and ultimately fits with Iran's regional objectives. But I can't see how someone in power would want that unless they had pretensions to the crown, or rather following the Iranian philosophy, a possible republic's government.

Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.

That and maybe Robocop.

In my case I'll say either Bloodhound Gang's The Bad touch or Aqua's Barbie Girl.

I mean.. what the hell is "hanky panky".

But for bonus points, I did also sing "take a walk on the wild side~" with no flying clue what "giving head" was supposed to be.
