Please, let me explain the Political situation in Spain. With no passion, jut political and historycal facts. I hope this works:

Basque country hasn't been historically enemy of Madrid/Centralism... In fact, a whole Shine in the Basque Country is full of "Lords"... Some Kind made them "Hidalgos" the lowest level of noblemen, for helping him in a civil War (I am talking of the XVIIth century)

It was the catalans who fought against Madrid/Centralism. The "war" started in 1706? When two kings fought for the Throne of Spain (actually, this two families of Kings were fighting along Europe, in France, Germany...)

One was Borbon, the other was German (Ausburg?). While the was in Eurpoe was going ok for the Ausburg, in Spain it was not so good, and the Ausburg abandoned the Spanish campaign to fight in Europe.

So, the member of the Borbon family conqueres the "Kingdom of Aragon" composed by Catalunya, País Valencià , Aragón and Balear Islands.

That king (Felipe V, I think) was French and tried to copy the French model in Spain (Centralism, Madrid=Paris).

That broght a lot of problems... People of the Kingdom od Aragón had their lenguaje, their laws... all was abollished.

The XXth century passed, with Franco's dictadure the prosecution continued. But catalans are pragmatic. Now they're getting a high level of independence thanks to their work.

Surprisingly... when the democracy came, the catalans felt no special anger against the rest of Spain.

So... Why are the Basques so anger? Franco (A dictator who ruled Spain from 1936-79) tried to join all the Spanish people under a "Unique, great and free Spain!"... There started a great prosecution against people who talked basque, catalán, gallego... And a prosecution against the cultures.

But while the catalans forget all and have a pragmatic view of this remaining (everyday less) fascists, some of the basques still have this feeling. I don't know why, specially knowing that  most of the new warriors of ETA are just the sons of inmigrants, and should have nothing to see with that... My conclussion is that when bad people looks for an excuse to kill, they do.

I hope this helps.

Thanks DG... I really appreciate it. And please Boris and Daniel ( :'() I don't want this to be a post of discussion, just a show of pain, please, keep this discussion (if necessary) in another thread, parallel, if needed, but not in this.

I will post, with vehemence, as usual, but please, not here.

173 deaths... I can't really understand this...

I didn't really want to post this, I was actually revisiting my posting procedures for not bothering nobody with my thoughts... but I really like to read warm words from the AGSers. I this that the occassion deserves it.

There has been a terrorist jouney in Madrid, the capital of Spain. I can't really say how many bombs have exploded, but people talk of 5, 6... What I can really see is that three bombs have blew up three vagons of a local train, vagon full of people going to work, near hospitals, even scholars going to the high School. The brackdown of victims is now 131 (new figures, 146), and it can still grow... We're talking of the major terrorist strike in the European Community.

And I agree somewhat with the non-centralism complains of the Basques! I hope that even the people who agrees with terrorist fight must feel sick today.

I hope this is the first step to implement some kind of extraordinary death penalty... Maybe you are pure, and join strenght to post something like "You can learn to understand and think that death penalty does not help"... I would really like to be so pure as you, but I can't, I am weak...

Neva!!1! Teh webmaster ares too lazy to change the whole site again11!!1

I use paint shop pro, PSP for short, do not confuse it with Photoshop, PS for short.

I had the 7th version, but I was so used to the 5th that I ve allways came back to this...

I've been told that PSP can do as much as PS, and it's cheaper, but if some PS zealot comes and tells me that PS can do more things, I will have to trust him because I haven't used PS too much.

BTW, I think PSP is so much cheaper...

Yeah! I am going to play the final version! downloading...

Edit: I've seen in the web that the news girls is called Sylvia St.Claire... a mix of Sylvia Saint and Jasmine St. Claire? COOL!!!  

Isn't that guy Boris "Barcik" Danilovich?

Lorena playing the fool with the guitar, she only knows one chord...

La Lore showning her latest award...

La Lore blaming me for playing "Port Royale" in spite of take attention on her...
Me, joining the "playing the guitar/Bass" club... Notice the bike and the several lens flaeres...
Me pretending to look like Jan Kuipers "N3tgraph"... Quite alike, but with 1/2 meter less... Notice thee funny skin colours that the Sun produces in my head when filtrated thru the holes of the helmet... My future mother in law calls me "Badger".

TA Neole for the space... If putting pics in your space is a problem, don't hesitate to make me know, please...

Vel: It is obvious that we had differences in the recent past, that is the reason why I thought you were attacking me. If you say that you weren't attacking me, I believe you and I apollogy for the present and past faults, it should be great if you accept them.

BTW, I think that your defense of GK is a little bit unconsistent... IMO we're not talking of which adventure game has been the one which has incorporated the best historical content, but which is better, so we can't compare GF and GK in this terms, it is like comparing pears with apples...

Anyway, we should vote for the Adventure which has left in us the better feeling, so, talking of such subjective feelings, a discussion doesn't really have reason, IMO.

Assuming that the differences between genres are smaller everyday, we can't talk of films for "girls" or "boys"...

If you want another argument, tell him Hollywood wants to earn money (As the rest of us) and it can't avoid 50% of the population, so, not ALL the films are going to be oriented to men.

You win...  

And that would worry you because there won't be more upgrades of AGS, wouldn't you?    

Yes! This second bg is really cool... I was not very happy about the first one, I can't really say why, maybe for the colours....

But this second is supperb and actually matches perfectly with the S&M style.

I tought that the meaning was quite clear, I meant "Vel deffends GK with suck vehemence that seems that he was a developer of the game..."

I must apologize if the meaning was not clear, when Vel posted that he couldn't understand me, I tought that he was attacking (once again) my poor English.

But if the sentence was not easy to understand I could assume that he was not attacking me, so, the harsh reply wouldn't be necessary.

Anyway... I still believe that he was attacking me...
But I can really understand that this issues do not care any of the AGSers, so I won't go on and I'll accept whatever you want to do with my post, Mr. Colossal.

I also demmand all the apologies to anyone who felt offended by this.

a new show of your stupidity...

You talk of GK as you have been something to see with its developement...        

Shit! Apparently AGS is the only reduct of the old feeling good adventure makers!

I really wanted to see this game...  :'(

Good lord! Did I tell "chapel" is spite of lapel???  :'(

I think that the errors produced by my lack of attention are becoming some kind of in-joke!  

Thanks for understanding me...

Lol! Yes... I meant whip... Stupid silly spaniard....  

Bufff... It is very difficult to choose... I think I'd go for Darth's (A) but the clean design of the bluecup by loominous looks great, and seems like the "old true colour photo of the blue cup" has turned into a nice and professional logo.

I think it is impossible to choose without feeling a little pain in the hearth, missing something of the designs of the "non-choosed"....

Can we vote parts?
