  1. I don't know if these videos would be any use to you I'm in no way knowledgeable about this but after watching several videos it's obvious that most people are lifting it onto it's side with their legs then just pushing it over. Back strap is probably very advisable if you intend to do this as I imagine there's a good chance of throwing it out (even if you'll be doing this in a group). I'm looking through the strongman competition videos on youtube hoping that one of them will have commentary with useful information, I'll post if I find anything out.
  2. Great. Just the man. What went wrong? I was 8 and not a super hero.
  3. When I little. Didn't manage it though.
  4. I've just realised that I used to post on this forum (although not much), my old account is in that thread.
  5. Sorry, I should have read through the whole thread . I'm not sure either comment was directed at you personally though.
  6. The example that always comes to mind for me is Civilization 4, built on Gamebryo. You know, that engine that Bethesda used for Oblivion? Really? Wow. And to think we all settled for a house when we should have been demanding a nation.
  7. Damn. Caught out! Hang on... EDIT: RIGHT YOU BASTARD I've just reread all the previews. The only thing I can see to contradict me is that you get to choose missions elerium vs 'animal attacks'. You may or may not be able to go to multiple locations in the time available. So basically, a slight decrement in the strength of criticism 6. Everything else stands. According to the PC GAMER UK write-up, it doesn't look to have strayed too far from the old games actually. Missions aren't entirely pre-defined, and aborting them, grabbing research materials and legging it back to the interceptor is a perfectly valid and sometimes necessary course of action. The blobs for example, you can't actually kill them until you research equipment that will electrocute or burn the things, so when you first encounter them you may think it's going to be a pushover but the thing is they will keep reassembling itself and coming after you. Apparently 2k decided not to use the old aliens because a bit part of the game was seeing all of this weird things and then working out how to combat them, so I think that's a big plus. Apparently the home base can be expanded over time as well but no details seem to have been given on how that will work yet. I don't know if there will be any political subversion to the game, there's been no mention of it as far as I know. And apparently your fellow agents will be more than generic redshirts, I think they're either a limited pool of characters with personalities or they'll level up like the squaddies in UFO, either way it's intended that you will feel their loss if anything happens to them. It probably won't be the x-com sequel we've all wanted but it sounds like it will be a good game and that 2k are trying.
  8. Edit: Nevermind, I was beaten to it.
  9. At some point I made top material armor and weapons for all of my characters, then added stat bonuses, damage resistances and multiple layers of elemental damage to all of it. It was way too much and probably an abuse of the crafting system, so that's all I meant by holding back.
  10. You're welcome . I found the crafting to be game-breaking by the end though so you might want to hold back if you enjoy a challenge.
  11. It can and has worked, just not in the movies unfortunatly.
  12. Try this; http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=462
  13. How the hell did they manage to make two bad AvP movies anyway? It shouldn't have been difficult to make an Aliens movie and add Predators into the mix , I mean hell they must have had around a hundred passable novels and Dark Horse comics they could they have based the movies around.
  14. Looks fun, I hope it does well for you guys.
  15. http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...=49224&st=0
  16. Sounds fair
  17. If by asian version you mean an import you might want to look into yesasia.com http://www.yesasia.com/global/search/red-c...fs-en/list.html I've only used them once before (Quite a few years ago) so I can't give them a strong recommendation, but the product arrived fairly quickly and in perfect condition. I seem to remember it being expensive but that could be because I was snagging a collectors edition with a metal case, you should check the post and packaging costs before ordering and also the region code depending on your player.
  18. Apparently she's too young although I could have sworn in her dossier it said she was in her late teens or early twenties. If she is over eighteen then it's probably to do with her plot ark being cut.
  19. Someone really needs to make a managment/RPG where one player is a dungeon keeper and the rest are intrusive adventurers.
  20. I like the visual style and the way they've reworked things like Scorpion's hook to be more plausable. The dialog is just horrible though, even by action movie standards. I think it might end up having the same problems as the original in that the action is quite good but everything else is just... ugh. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.
  21. *groan* And why do they keep killing my favourite character? The fact he can't even make it past the trailer now is just insulting.
  22. In case I misspoke, I wasn't suggesting anything about people not wanting to watch a subtitled film, simply that those people exist and that I'd forgotten to mention the subs first time around.
  23. If the film's good enough, you sort of don't notice them, just read them by default. Nikita is a good example. All the same I thought it was best to mention it, for some subs are a dealbreaker and I didn't want to waste their time.
