I think I've run into a bug. Edit: And the bug unbugged itself

Live Aid was incredible. I wish I could have been there in person, at either location (Wembley and JFK Stadium), but I'm glad I at least got to see it live as it happened. I was 9, so I didn't fully understand just how rare and special an event this was at the time, but I understood enough that I knew I was watching something memorable taking place.

One of the most legendary and greatest live performances ever. Queen, at their absolute peak, in front of the largest audience ever (72,000 in attendance at Wembley plus an estimated 1.5 BILLION watching live on TV) hitting a grand slam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQsM6u0a038 I watched this live with my parents on TV as a 9 year old child. I still remember it clearly and it still brings me to tears every time.

Percy Harvin just got traded to the Jets for a draft pick. He's talented, in theory, but he's done a bunch of nothing for the C-Hox this year.

I'm about to make a salad: Romaine Cucumber Tomatoes Onions Olives Artichoke Hearts Pepperoncini Feta Cheese Anchovies I've done all the other ingredients together in some combination or another, except the anchovies, I've never tried putting that on a salad before. That's the wild card. I'm excited.

Sadly, very much yes. There are groups of scumbags out there that get off on the misery of others and they make no bones about it. This seems a little bit too conspiracy theory for me. I'm not saying it's definitely not true, but it seems a bit too far fetched. That said, I fully expect members from some of these schadenfreude circle jerk groups to be posing as both GamerGaters and Anti-GamerGaters, stirring the pot and doing their best to escalate things so that they can wank it to death threats and people losing their livelihood.

Same. I was in my early teens when this was a cartoon on TV. Even though this was a show clearly aimed at girls, and I certainly wouldn't have owned up to it at the time, I certainly watched my fair share of the show back then. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRyDxEBiQUY

So, here's the first poster for the Jem movie set to release in 2015. This better wind up being outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous. A lot more outrageous than this kinda weak poster.

Exactly. The greatest irony is that the more that media outlets come out and demonize this game the more it is likely to sell. It's how Leisure Suit Larry became an iconic game and launched into a highly successful series. Initially, LSL sold poorly, but then the media started covering how immoral and terrible and evil it was and OH MY GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN and the game started selling more and more and more, because it was "taboo". Of course, it helped that LSL was a legitimately good and funny adventure game that was in reality a lot more about self-deprecating humor than about BEWBS, but all the negative coverage it got certainly helped that game become a financial success.

I don't think the game is novel or special, though, in a way, it seems like the purest distillation of what many (possibly the majority) of games are. It's a murder simulator, plain and simple, much like so many games, except that it doesn't pretend to be anything it is not. It doesn't sugar coat what it is with attempts at justification as to why it's all good in the hood that you're mass murdering, because "heroic" stuff. That said, it quite honestly looks boring and ****ty to me. Still, I feel it has a right to exist if someone is willing to put in the time, effort, and resources to make it. People have a choice, they can choose to buy this or not. It should not be banned or censored. Slap the appropriate ESRB rating on it and put it out on the open market and let it sink or swim on its own merits, same as any other game.

I didn't even last 12 hours, I think I went about 5 hours before I quit the game. My reasons weren't exactly the same as yours, but the bottom line is that I found the game a lot more frustrating and cumbersome than I did fun.

It does not just have ANY rat people. It has THE rat person. Oh my goodness gracious, Sleepy Rat the Adventurer. I know the game has outdoor areas (as opposed to the first game's pure dungeon setting), but is it still purely just a straight dungeon crawl? I don't think I can do a straight dungeon crawl any more, I need some towns and townsfolk to talk to, even if it's super basic stuff like in M&MX: Legacy.

Yeah, the idea is to make my 2nd playthrough punishingly difficult. On the bright side, I'll save a boatload on ammo... On the other hand I'll likely spend everything I save (and then some) on first aid kits and surgical equipment.

So I'm thinking about this for my second playthrough (I haven't quite finished my first yet): Supreme Jerk Difficulty (up from 1st playthrough Ranger difficulty) No Angela Deth All melee focused characters (the ones I make, companions may be ranged focused) I think that would be pretty brutally difficult, especially early on before I pick up some ranged weapon companions. Anyway, I have time still to mull it over.

Grimrock 2 has rat people? That almost convinces me buy the game.

So, is there some kind of story and/or goal to this game or is it just Survival Mode: The Game? Anyway, doesn't look like my cup of tea, but it doesn't bother me that it exists. At least it doesn't try to thinly veil its murderous rampage gameplay with some kind of "I come from the old country to make better life and escape all the killing" bull****.

Yeah, the first time I stumbled into the Abandoned Railyard I had the same experience, I think I was around lev 12 or 13 or so. After initiating that fight and the massacre that ensued, I was like I went back there much later at around lev 20 and did the battle then. My favorite battle so far has been Edit: Another piece of combat strategy advice is pick and choose your targets. It's usually better to kill an already wounded target than wound another one, except when both targets are close enough together and your shotgunner is coming up soon in the queue that you feel you can kill them both at the same time with the shotgun. If melee enemies are far enough away from you that you feel confident they won't be able to charge you and still attack on their next turn, you may want to leave them be and shoot ranged enemies first. Also, I almost always try to kill lobbers first. While I do try to space my party out so that they're not all cluster****ed together, usually, because of available cover and/or space restrictions, I'll have 2 or 3 characters close enough together to get hit with a single grenade. If you can kill a lobber before they have a chance to toss any grenades at you that will save you a bunch of damage. And lastly, if you're in an area where you know you're close to a doctor (particularly one that will heal you for free), you may want to forgo shooting enemies, saving you ammo, and let your melee characters finish the battle, if you're confident you can survive.

I've had the Jackhammer for a while, it's great but it doesn't get particularly large amounts of use since few enemies ever make it close enough to be within range, especially since the anti-material rifles, with mods, have a range well beyond 50m, which translates to about as far as my characters can see in game terms. That's the best part about the anti-material rifles, I can hit targets from crazy distances. Assault rifle ranges aren't that much shorter (about 10m, I think), but it's still nice to be able to initiate the battle from that much further away. Also, anti-material rifles have a staggering 10 armor penetration. I don't have the top tier AR yet, I'm still using a AK-97, but I'm guessing top tier ARs have armor penetration around 7.

The first battle or two in California, whether a random encounter or at a location, is a bit of a shock since you're likely facing a group significantly better equipped than you, but you get geared up quickly, either by looting corpses or buying gear (likely a bit of both). Hollywood had some rally good stuff to buy and find around the area, once you get access to it. I currently have 2 snipers, both with .50 anti-material rifles, which is just kinda unfair.

I'm there right now. There's definitely some good shoppin' to be had there.

Cute how the lady barely gives a **** about her (presumably) husband being left behind. I thought it was her dad. Also, they launched off in **** shaped rockets. Misogyny!
