[Illevia]

Haha! That's true. : P

The United States cares a lot less about free speech than they do of fake titties and coca cola ^_^

[Illevia]

...that's just harsh. The guy was only stating his opinion. Here I thought freedom of speech meant something to people.

[SgtSanchez]

oh, okay?

[Zenome]

You're an idiot, war makes it own story. Making a story for a war is false hope, just like your dignity.

[GolemsMight]

looks neat, i'd give it a try

[SgtSanchez]

Honestly, I was hoping for more refined single-player action. Making a giant linear story wouldn't be M&B's style, but I think it could use SOME story...
