That's kind of a shame, especially since lasers can burn out light cover (something the AI seems to mystically do to my troops all the time incidentally) or just use it to torch a vehicle.

Hm, panic's not fun unless they've got a rocket launcher near a gas station.

Mostly retreading stuff, though. Thought we'd moved on to that Pakistani girl getting shot.

I like the bit about this being a CIA plot, heh. I'm not holding my breath for anything solid to come out of it, hopefully she doesn't get killed when she returns home though.

Not to impressed by that being an 'option'. I guess he doesn't want KS to take a cut, out of all the things in this I'm surprised to see that is an issue to not back it, but that's people.

Well, nuts, so much for the forum quieting down.

Well am trying to brush up on the language, doing little silly exercises or some problems from ACSL back in the day, but a nice small project might be cool to do.

Ah ok, well hmph, that's kind of disappointing but can think of why they did it that way. I wish I could pick the specialty the troops fall into, it seems random to me but might be otherwise. The flush ability the Assault troops get is great, well assuming the overwatch shots actually hit

This was pretty huge news last week, it is Chris Roberts and the game's ambition is impressive (potentially over-reaching). But yes, C&C is the forum for it, to play junior forum moderator. He really should have used KS, might have withstood the hits, better.

Old news. Also thread exists related to this - http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61275-squadron-42/

Related to the US Debate last night

As I play I have to snicker at the visuals of shooting through walls or cars, LOS doesn't match up with the actual map it seems. For the abduction missions, are the aliens placed on the map at the start or do you trigger their spawning ?

Best way to view happy people though, over a camera. They freak me out in person. Trying to think up a good learning project to do with C++ today.

I'm hoping it's just a statue.

That stream was a bit meh, too spammy with all the jackals in the chat and them picking stupid stuff to respond to. Although Sawyer did answer some good questions when he wasn't drowned out by all the yelling tipsy people.

Sawyer seems rather unhappy at the entire experience. Or he has a good poker face.

Even on a camera, I still can't watch or be around drinking folk.

Hm, does remind me why I don't like being around people that drink.

Well good to see Merin's back on the cross again. Poor soul. Well, I suppose there COULD be prostitutes in the game, no ?

The same thing I did while it was on ?

Could have done with out that, but that's CDP for you, everything else you have to actively go for. Although in that game, I guess it does make sense to have a 'romance' with Triss, part of the books if I recall. Don't think the majority of Obsidian games have romance as a central theme, considering a set of NWN2, KOTOR2, AP, DS3 and FO:NV.

And this, naturally, has always been from the meanies on the other side, right ? Heh. The rate that those threads kept popping up probably contributed to that, perhaps.

Eh ? Well this topic's been treaded over with you lot wanting romances to - I dunno, make you feel more immersed or adding depth to your character because some NPC really likes you and says sappy things - and people have made arguments against it more than your, heh, characterization of them as stomping their feet. Mainly a time/resource investment vs. the return on it (so for example, would rather them work on making a city's tale more engrossing as opposed to giving the player's ego some fluffing up). Meh, at this point though I guess they have money to spare so that fluff shouldn't hurt. They should have put it as a stretch goal and milk you lot, but too late, heh.

Aw, why did they delete his post ? Was pretty funny. I've become of the mind there should be romances, but none involving the player.

LARPing gear ?
