Great pwnage.  :D

I wonder what the mentality was when they made that game where you convert churches into Islam mosques...  

PS: I too have my browser set to ask for cookies, firefox is a good browser.   :D

I'm so glad microsoft tests their products.

There's an option is Safari to only accept cookies from sites you navigate to, seems to keep advertisers out.

Hey, don't be so hard on Age of Empires. It's made by the people of Ensemble Studios, which was later taken over (aka assimilated) by Microsoft  

I hate the Saudi Arabian government for this. Attacking Microsoft is always a plus, but not if it means banning a video game just because some big authorian thing doesn't like it.
If Rockstar Games and Running With Scissors had fallen for that kind of pressure, we wouldn't have GTA: Vice City and POSTAL 2.
