  1. I think Mass Efffect should have proper space combat. There, now it's in the posibility space.
  2. Those are some stupid questions. Not saying anyone is stupid for asking them mind you.
  3. I thought the impact scenario was plausible if unprobable, but that there wouldn't be anything we could do about it. Who knows, maybe we have top secret missile banks in orbit.
  4. Great job, Anonymous. I do say great job to them for the rest of the Stratfor stuff they leaked. Strafor's actions are scary - they're like an intelligence branch of a government, except not as accountable (which is saying something), and used by government(s) for that reason. Analysts with ties to a particular government can't ply their trade anywhere else. Keyboard mercenaries, well aren't we all.
  5. Well this one only has a couple of locations, the scale is unambitious. If anything the others had the reverse problem. This one never gets interesting.
  6. Definately the poorest in the series though, possibly bad enough to kill the francise off for good.
  7. I imagine it's a staff thing. Paying extra for working nights.
  8. Too bad all the gyms close 21:00. I would pay extra do be able to train at 4 in the morning.
  9. Has anyone tried Syndicate. I mean it's sci fi, I feel obligated to at least sate ny quriosity on this.
  10. Historically they fought teeth and nail to retaint their independence while the US exploited them, when they got bored with that they offered them political participation. It fits reasonably well.
  11. What kind of lame ass colonialism only expands to the pacific anyway. Yes, I mispoke, I think because I was remembering that Depp movie, The whiskey diaries. It's nowhere as good as Fear and Loathing by the way.
  12. It's only a handjob in the barebones version.
  13. Leopard 2 is the best main battle tank around, a challenger 2 will do in a pinch. The Abrams has limited range and a horrendous heat signature owning to its huge jet engines. They don't even make them anymore, although they still service the current fleet with replacement parts. So that was me tank trolling, how'd you like them apples.
  14. I kinda dug it. The premise is pretty stupid, but the exectution wasn't bad at all.
  15. Imagine if they had gone with space combat and trade routes a la Freespace instead of that crappy firewalker thing. Now that would have been something. They were able to jam that into the unreal engine so it's by no means impossible.
  16. I think a sense of danger would ad to exploring systems, the probing is not something you need to do compulsively I suspect. Who cares about the closing cinematic being a bit different because you didn't lift every rock.
  17. And the Reapers lose because they didn't bring unlimited probes.

    Books

    Curriculum. No one reads that on their own. Bragging rigths hereby recinded.
  19. The characters were all horrendous. Except the dwarf thief, I liked him but he couldn't carry the whole thing alone.
  20. Their bias is kinda straightforward. You instantly know what you are dealing with, like Fox News. To me that counts in their favor.
  21. You can't pick and chose what goes in your memory anyway. They call all that stuff life. Rejecting language because you are afraid you will run out of disk space is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Of course you can't do everythig and you have to chose what you want to do with your life, but that wasn't the point.
  22. The main reason romance was so borked in ME2 was that you couldn't talk to anyone on missions, you had to wait until normandy where the load times were so horrendous you were discouraged from regularly talking with anyone not already on the command deck. They could have at least put the curvy NPCs there. Well that and the fact that the dialouge was like listening to someone running their finger nails down a blackboard, and that whole light side/ dark side point accretion which you needed for dialouge options.
