Gorgon

My nephew maybe, he said he needed to rummage through my box of spare converters and connectors.

Noticed that Witcher wild hunt has 'won over 160 awards' and it's not even out yet. I guess that's more a comment on the inflation in internet gaming awards than anything else. I mean I could set up my own gaming awards in an afternoon.

NATO bases, long leases. Their presence affects the local economy, you can't just have them up and leave even though they are not needed at all.

I think I have the Radeon HD 7850, or 7950. Can't remember the difference. Higher is better ?

The EU is planning to set up its own TV station to rival RT. Can't find a story on it atm. The level of deliberate misinformation and Russian trolling is getting to the point where it's hard for people to make out what is really going on. Of course there is every chance that it will succumb to the pitfall of becomming anti-Russian rather than anti-misinformation.

And you're a moderator? Just ... What ?

Wow you really couldn't STFU long with your gun control debate. I understand that there were security personel and police first responders who were armed and who were killed ?

Never actally played Jagged Alliance. Heresy, I know.

Maybe I should try something like this. I can't get myself to excercise just for it's own sake. I need to be actually doing something. Not many 90 year olds look this cool.

MY BOSS ACTUALLY ALL CAPS IN EMAILS IF THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT. CLEARLY THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND DOESN'T AT ALL COME ACROSS AS THE RAMBLINGS OF A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD. IF THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY CRITICAL, HE WILL TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER AND COLOURISE KEY PHRASES.

You can do it with a molotov or a flame thrower burst, that seems perfectly in keeping with cannon, but they aren't supposed to be immune to bullets. Not that I can remember.

Didn't think it was possible to have too much mood and suspense and not enough action, apparently it is.

It bothered me having skulked about stealthily for the first hour or so of gameplay and seeing lots of guns lying around dropped by dead looters that I was unable to pick up because apparently that was not something the engine knew how to do. Had to wait for a cutscene. Later it became apparent that you can only really play the game by being stealthy all the time and it gets tiresome. You start dying because you get bored and start running around nosily to cover ground faster. The game never takes it to the next level and lets you fight an alien. The most you can do is to scare it off briefly. It's like a horror movie in the buildup waiting for the big scare moment, only it's like that the whole game. After the first few near heart attacks you get immunised pretty fast.

I know there are certain arguments that certain people here are psychologically programmed not to accept, but it is not the natural state of modern man to be carrying around concealed firearms. IF, and that's a big if, it is necessary it is because something has gone horribly wrong in society. I suspect it's more a matter of identity, of projecting a certain aura of rugged self reliance, and of course the sense of security it gives which is perhaps more important than the practical application.

The engine is very old by now. Can't really compare it to Arma.

The retailer/backer/whatever DLCs and goodies are usually insignficant, If that is indeed what you are talking about. Just jumping in here out of the blue and not bothering to read the thread. A pretty far leap to say that they 'necessitate piracy' anyway. All of them together don't really represent the 'full game' if there was no such thing envisioned, rather a bunch of different flavors to chose from. I have yet to encounter launch bonus content worth bothering about actually.

Windows knows your folder preferences best.

Can we please retire 'mansplaining'

Even the ludicrously priced mice which I have been guilt of buying myself often are all made of the same cheap plastic components glued together.

I have to admit I never considered that anyone would do that on a regular basis. I assume it was a one off.

Dog looked a little unhappy. Like when forced to have a bath. No biggie.

I guess you can call it a comment on what people seem to think is important.

We can torture and kill eachother to our hearts content but if someone dyes a dog blue, that is simply inexcusable.

There is nothing good about lazy MMO/Ubisoft storytelling where they spend time on the main mission and all the other open world stuff is just copy/pasty. It's not really 'open world' if everywhere is the same. Awkward sex scenes can be pretty funny though, and it looks like they haven't ruined that tradition. Lot's of potential in transgender (what were the bull people with the horns called anyway)
