Hearts Of Iron Addiction

While not my favorite game (That's a toss up between CMBB & CMAK), this game
has been sucking my life away non-stop since I grabbed it last week. Anyone
else have this problem?

While I didn't played HoI last few month, I remember that it was quite a fun
capturing Brasil for oil as a Germany etc... :)

No, mainly because I think it *really* should have been turn based.

Just hit 'pause' on the first of every month then.  :)  Personally, I
usually prefer turn-based also but it seemed to work for HOI.  Although I
would not have continued playing if I couldn't issue orders while paused.
Main reason I gave up on the Warcraft series and the like.  <insert

No, that Anti-American movie at the game's beginning ruined the whole
HOI experience for me. America ain't perfect, but we ain't Nazis.

There was a lot of discussion about that.  What it basically came down to
was that Paradox couldn't show a swastika in the intro movie because the
game would be sold in Germany, where it is illegal.

Is it true that Aragorn in Lord of the Rings portrays Bush's crusade against
terrorism?

Strange, I always hit ESC through the intro parts of a game, now I have to
go take a look.....

Being in Sweden (or maybe because they are part of EU?), Paradox is not allowed to dipict
the Nazi flag.  The intro shows the various leaders one at a time with the flags in the
backgrounds.  The US was next to last and they left the US flag up as background when
Hitler appears.  Many overly sensitive Americans took that as a slap against our current
"attack everyone who opposes us" policy (just joking, but you know what I mean).

:) Yeah I know what you mean. But I am a superstitious man, and I
found the movie unsubtle.

  Yeah, I'm as unpolitcally correct as they come, but that was an
unexcusable screwup imo.  I'm sure there was no alterior motive to it, but
come on, what bonehead came up with leaving that, that way.

Strange, I have watched it several times now, and being a very conservative
American, I just don't see what everyone is bothered about.

Power to the People! Vive la revolution!

I never noticed it when I first saw it (I only watch intro's once).  After the stink began
I looked and thought "boy, that was pretty stupid" and then went on with my (gameplaying)
life.  Others had a much more difficult time getting over it.

I think some people get up in arms over anything. I interpret that movie 
as what would have happened had the US lost the war (alternate history). 
The people that complain about that movie are just rampant Nationalist 
and suffer from the same blinded national devotion that the Germans 
suffered during the Hitler era.
