Well generally speaking, gun tech is so old that most guns are extremely reliable. If a self defense weapon that doesn't get much use breaks down in a critical situation , meaning the three seconds of your life that you actually need it for, then that's just the universe's way of saying that you patron deity rolled a critical miss and its time to scoop your remains off the table.

Because that was an area that much effort went into in DA2.

You're pushing the boundaries of attractive now. -
It should be trivial to make a police P&C adventure today. The market for those games is definitely there, and seemingly stable.

I've finally grabbed some time so I'd like to play Left 4 Dead 2. If anyone is up for a zombie massacre this evening and tomorrow at GMT+1 drop me a PM here or send me a message on Steam.

I hear you, I couldn't properly sit for 5 weeks after watching Prometheus. Prometheus is so bad I was actually compelled to go to Amazon and write an angry review of it. And I never do that. I was surprised that a multi-millionaire like Ridley Scott would stoop so low to make a movie in which someone gets rolled over by a spinning space ship. And that is one of the more sensible scenes in it. I mean, why? Just why? He could have let someone else eat that garbage script and take the flak instead of making a fool of himself. Now I really love and appreciate the films that are usually deemed "art house" (a pointless label IMO), but I can occasionally enjoy a good blockbuster. As a kid I loved Jurassic Park. That's as blockbusterish as you can get. And that movie is watchable today. Of course I can now see how much of a kid's movie it is but its still okay. Hell, I still watch The Fifth Element on occasion. On the other hand I watched Star Trek 2 a few weeks ago. A bombastic mess of screeching metal, explosions that tear your ears apart, Unlikable characters, pointless action scenes - everything done to overwhelm the viewer and beat him into submission. Literally, two hours of screaming to stop you thinking about what you see on screen because if you do you'll see the sad sad lack of everything a good movie should include. What sort of people do they make these movies for?

Dude, check out Polina's blog to see what she can do with just a pencil and a piece of paper. A good artist doesn't need all that Wacom stuff to make awesome drawings. I mean Cintiqs and Intuoses sure make it easier but still... :D Of course you don't need Wacom's toys but its a cheap way to get into the (usually) expensive hobby of painting. *I mean the Intuos line obviously.

Apparently everyone and their grandmother makes games today.

As a self defense weapon for a civilian, I think there's a lot of talk and theory over nothing. I read somewhere that US police statistics say that the overwhelming majority of scenarios where guns are used play out at 1-3 meters and 1-3 shots are fired total over the space of a few seconds. So basically any gun with do, shooter training is much much more important. Even luck is more important than the weapon itself.

I have to say I'm more a fan of the automatic pistol, I've had more problems with revolvers than with pistols (and most of the time jams can only be cleared with a disassembly of the gun) I also prefer the low bore axis of pistols, revolvers have so much muzzle rise while the pistol recoils almost completely straight back which makes follow up shots much faster. Each to his own I guess. I've always been a huge fan of the TT Tokarev. Wonderful pistol, all steel construction, the 7.62x25 is a powerful bottleneck round, the pistols frame is very slim, no safeties but my trigger finger, the way it should be. It appears you've had rotten luck or manufacturing quality has dropped even more than I expected.There's no way an automatic could cause less problems, because unlike the automatic, a revolver is basically a clockwork mechanism with less "relative" factors in play. But I'm not completely surprised. A real revolver is a custom gun made by someone whose familiar intimately with its workings and tuned individually. Today's revolvers are machine made by the thousand.

I'll take either.

Back then all revolvers used to be hand manufactured and put together by skilled professionals so the quality was generally the best that was possible. Now they're mass produced, both revolvers and automatics and that drags down both their appeal and quality. The Colt SAA of today is very much an overpriced handgun considering its mass manufacturing. Even so, revolvers are generally more durable than automatics. The standard jams that can happen to an automatic don't happen to a revolver. On the other hand, if an internal part breaks it has to be sent to whomever manufactured it, for repair. With an automatic a child could replace the broken part and be back in action. Revolvers can also carry a multitude of different calibers all of them generally more powerful than in an automatic. So when GD says it the best gun ever made he's talking about a multitude of things: the great aesthetics, the manufacturing quality, the power of the gun and most of all the historical appeal. Its a complete package in that regard. Today's service weapons are arguably uglier and not as well made but the key advantages of increased bullet capacity and less weight - is something no professional would want to trade away. And obviously the single action which is a big no no. So, its a great gun - its just not as practical for police/army use as the newer ones. Fine for everyone else though.

I agree. If you need more than 6 bullets to kill it, its probably Cthulhu and you should have been running, not shooting. The moment I get a Ruger Vaquero or S&W model 17 I'm done with guns. As much as I like assault rifles all I could do with one is prance about until it accidentally discharges in my foot. At least a handgun is theoretically justified as a home defense weapon.
