Gorgon

The slave collar thing worked in game-play. It could be pretty unnerving running from hot spot to hot spot trying to find and shut off the radio, but they just massively over used it, making it eventually feel more like cheap filler to extend play time.

Well of course. we are building artificial intelligence from the ground up. We wouldn't be doing that if it was autonomously learning.

The actual HD video formats are 1280x720 and 1920x1080, the latter for blu ray, which is the one you want, but probably not found on most laptops. Since it doesn't list the resolution that's probably to hide that it isn't that. Like presenting pre installed trial software that they get paid to put there as value.

Actually most things other than the tank moved at the speed of the horse in WW2 and that was while it was going well for the Germans. Wir haben keine spritz herr genral.

Well you are Euro sceptics for the most part and insist on unilateral action on occasion. Eastern Europe wants land locked allies it can count on against Russia. The old sphere of interest thinking is still very much a reality and Russia has been known to roll out the tanks once in a while, knowing that no one dares get involved.

It's good, but still pretty broken. Combat is very well done.

I hope this game becomes one of those you marathon because you can't help yourself. Not entirely sure it will deliver though.

I kinda doubt that anything like that would have happened without the EU. Peaceful cooperation was one of the driving forces behind its creation though. The idea is quite visionary. The reality a giant bureaucracy.

The first thing you see during startup is the type and model of the motherboard. Press break so it doesn't dissapear in an instant. You might want to peek in the bios as well. No guarantee you will find it there though, and there is a serial number on the board itself but that's a pain to get to. Only go this route if everything else fails. Various thrid party benchmarking programs will also identify the chipset on your motherboard and (maybe) the correct version number.

What is it.

I remember a recent discussion where we decided that invading Russia, specifically the gas and oil rich regions of the Kaukasus could be a solution. As long as the war didn't last too long, the period of intense mobilisation would help the job maket immesurably. With Gasprom's resources at our disposal the economic recovery would be on the fast track. We should leave in any event if we hadn't reached our objectives by winter. History, bad karma and all that.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of the Syrian leadership, I'm sure neither would the Syrian people. Turkey doesn't have a very strong human rights record though, I'm not sure having them campaign around the middle east is that advisable.

Way to screw up a kid, possibly for god.

I don't know if it's preferable, but it's much better than quiet seething animosity. There are families who have evolved that into an intricate art form.

The experts all say it's a stupid idea. We should subsidize healthy food instead. Right now it's cheaper to get full on junk food. That isn't going to change unless the fat tax gets ludicrously high, and no one wants food prices to get any higher. We are already in the top 5 in Europe in cost of living.

So you are a professional animal priest. It's definitely cornering a niche.

It's very actiony. AI cheats. Stealth doesn't work, Floor triggers spawn hordes, etc. Really good atmosphere.

Just go to black mountain if you need money. missile launchers, heavy flamers, bumper swords and whatnot. If you completed Dead Money you won't want for repair kits. The legion assassins are deadly if they get you out in the open. With cover, quite managable. They also seem to give up quick if you attempt to hide.

I can only assume this also means you can't shoot them in the head with guns, in which case , well that would just be incredibly lame. How can you have guns, and zombies, and no headshots. Unpossible.

I seriously doubt second hand smok can do very much out in the open, dilluted. This is why I mentioned car exhaust, since the attentant micro particle pollution is so much worse. There is no escape from that, inside or out. Although you can limit your exposure by staying in on bad days. A smoker produces how many cubic metres of cigarette smoke an hour - and compared to a car. The ratio must be higher than 1-1000, and car exhaust doesn't take decades to kill you, hence the popular suicide method.

If you do get this, get the xbox version though. In the PC version you can't target bodyparts unless the enemy is lying flat on his pack. A huge gameplay minus compared to being able to throw stuff at the head.

Question: how big are the areas? I heard it's open-world 'like' but nothing like TES/modern FO games. I haven't reached any invisible borders yet. I've had too much to do. Probably a little smaller than F03/NW, but more compact as it's one big resort Island. I had to stop playing as the Chinese agent because it bothered me too much that she was running around surviving in stiletto shoes. well that and because I thought she didn't have acess to guns. Turns out they are just very rare and don't show up untill about lv 10. Another annoyance from the coop thing is that the stashes you raid auto renew. Not so much a battle for resources then either. You really wish for a real single player mode rather than an offline mode.

What.. must have missed that.

Dead Island. It's my new favorite game. I have been playing for two hours and I haven't even seen a gun. Still, I seem to manage throwing various household implements at the infected. It's a bit wonky because it was meant as online coop. You can't die, or rather, it doesn't matter. You spawn a few seconds later and lose a few dollars as a penalty. Bit of a hit to the survival horror aspect of it, but the rest is good enough to make up for it.

I'd make you a deal. Cigarettes banned in public if you weren't allowed to drive anywhere unless you absolutely needed to. 5 kids to drop off, or part of your job ok. Everything else, get on your bike and stop stinking up the place for the rest of us. Or would that be encroaching on personal freedom. hmm..
