Mouse Recommendations
I got a Razer Naga. A needlessly expensive and pretentious thing that I guess views itself as something inbetween the second comming of Christ and the Iphone of mice if you believe the manual. It comes with stickers so you can... throw them out like you did with those from your motherboard and GFX You have to supply an email and sign up to get the driver and interface applet you use for keymapping and tweaking. I surmise the intent is to collect emails and user data for marketing purposes. Not even kidding. I like the keypad on the side, although it's not ergonomic enough, your thumb tends to slide off when hitting certain keys. Fortunately it works fine with a standard windows driver. It uses the USB recognition codes to emulate a keyboard specfically F1-F4 and The keypad. It's a 'gamer mouse'. You can tell by the pulsating LED backlit logo and buttons. Everything works. It's good but not great. Long story short I broke my Logitech and this was what they had at the store.

Capitalism & Socialism
You don't think the mission statment of Nazism and Socialism matter, I mean they are ideologies as much as political systems. Lots of reasons to put in place programmes to deal with unimployment and economic stagnation. I suppose facism is socialism for those obsessing about the strong nation state and the cult of personality. Enough reason to have two different words to describe them. That is... one is not the other, unless you insist on deconstruction. The further one goes down that road the less things make sense.

Capitalism & Socialism
By that logic Ronald Reagan would be a socialist. (military spending) I'm sure Reagan would call FDR one, FDR is in reality a democrat responding to a crisis (the first great depression). The devil is in the details.

Nazis and Socialists ?

Capitalism & Socialism
Germany was sorely in need of those socialist policies too, but that doesn't make the Nazis socialists. We have those two different words for a reason. The goal was to bring the economy on a war footing within 4 years. Socialist theory doesn't normally count on conquered countries paying the bill. Military spending is not usually seen as a socialist policy, although of course it contains tangible benifits for german arms manufacture, which was largely the point.

Drama in indy gaming and games journalism part 2
Borderlands doesn't have propper multiplayer, only co-op. Not even a PVP arena. So it gets old pretty fast. I like the visuals though.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
What I usually wind up doing is making two min maxed characters, one for combat, the other for skills and two balanced ones.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
I keep restarting because I'm not completely happy with my party. I do this in virtually every RPG but this is the third time and after having almost completed the first two towns. I know, I am not well.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
What happens if a guy bleeds out. Kinda curious because it almost happened to me. Got lucky and was able to loot a trauma kit. Do you get to create another one. At lv 1 ?

At least get them to spread out so they don't stand ready to shoot eachother in the backs of their heads.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
Also, am i missing something or is there no cooperation between skills and attributes. Some of the Attribute descriptions suggest it but it doesn't specify anywhere if there are attribute bonuses for each skill rank.
-
Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
As far as I was able to tell I could only get a maximum of 10 starting AP if I min maxed for AP. Versus 2 extra skill points and 8 AP with 10 intellingence. Hardly seems worth it. I don't know when bonus Attributes start to kick in but that would be a reason to incresase an attribute just shy of a bonus AP.
-
Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
One thing I've notice is that attributes confer only tiny bonuses, so wouldn't you be better off giving all your chars 10 intelligence and getting 2 extra skill points per level since they deliver so much more.

Capitalism & Socialism
I don't think anyone is really in doubt that the Nazis were, well, Nazis, rather than socialists. Socialistst don't have a monopoly on goverment spending and populist policies you know. The end goal was rearmament and conquest not making everyone happy.

I've just decided that I don't care about this anymore. Bound to happen sooner or later I suppose.
