  1. Armor stuff even more dumped down. That's fine, I was tired of looking like I bougth my armor at a garage sale anyway. Glass shoes, leather gloves, iron cuirass etc.
  2. It wouldn't have mattered. There wouldn't have been guns at a party youth convention with the PM scheduled to visit the next day, but all things being equal being armed in a crazed gunman situation is definitely preferable.
  3. It took them a long time to get the swat squad to the island and the closest police could have been there more quickly. It might not have been protocol, it might have been considerably more dangerous for an ad hoc group of first responders, but shouldn't they have tried anyway, given the stakes. Are there times where we demand from cops that they set aside concerns for personal safety ?
  4. That's the nature of live reporting. Lots and lots of filler required and pretty soon you are talking about conjecture as if it were fact. Back in the day they used to make a special news update when there was something to tell. Now it's all live feed of clueless reporters on the scene.
  5. Were you a part of the fleet or did you witness it like a film? Most of my dreams have a pretty strong narrative and a very logical progression, which often fools me into thinking that it's real - it's only when it gets a little too sci-fi or there like a leap of faith that I get suspicious. I actually had a very beautiful dream about 28th century technology, which was 50/50 biological and mechanical.. It all seemed to fit so perfect in the world. I was creating the experience, which was real enough. Not really concerned about where the self was in relation to all of it. I went back and changed details several times.
  6. You are stressed. Drink a warm glass of milk with honey before you go to sleep. That will be 500$
  7. The most recent one I remember involved a fleet segment deciding to desert from an upcoming battle. A lot of time was spent deciding the weapons and tech suite load-outs and communications between captains (space ships naturally) and deciding who could be trusted to be let in on the plan. There was an acute tenseness owing to the fact that they would have to leave their families behind, but there was not much choice as they believed they would not have been able to do more than briefly delay the enemy. The big battle, or escape as it were, never happened, but the characters were remarkably clearly fleshed out when I woke up.
  8. Proper crazy. Being a fervent nationalist yourself, you should be able to relate.
  9. The facial data is imbedded in the save, same enginem give or take, I predict no issues.
  10. Maybe you can still import your old fem-Shep
  11. Amy Winehouse died. RIP. Is anyone really surprised. Killer voice, bit of a mess as a human being.
  12. Yes, but you have to work off a good template in order for the result to be any good. ME2 had at least one good female default.
  13. 25 years in prison is the maximum sentence for murdering 80+ people. He'll be out for round two in his 50s.
  14. Now they are saying Nazis. Jeez.
  15. The suspect currently in custody is a Norwegian national presumed to have done all this on his own. So it's very possible that this was some loon with a grudge against the system and that it has nothing to do with fundamentalism.
  16. Must be home grown loonies. I mean who else would care about Norway. Denmark is the one famed for the Mohamed drawings.
  17. That's confirmed ?, that it was a Mumbai style attack.
  18. It would be cool if it was just his own life he was risking, but it isn't so he isn't.
  19. So yeah, he's good, but he could have killed someone other than himself just for 5 mins of youtube fame.
  20. Game review sites are not to be trusted. Symbiotic relationship with the publishers and the industry, obvious conflict of interest with ad revenue.
  21. I usually play as a female character, just because it's not that satisfying playing barbie dress-up with a male. That and the fact that you are choosing between looking at a pleasingly gyrating female rear end moving down various corridors for 90% of your playtime, or some dude's ass.
  22. Fox News is a circus act of pundits, not a serious news organization. They have to be 'different' in anything they do, it's not like they have a choice.
  23. For quality control of game reviewers. It's 'something' I suppose.
  24. What's the point of achievements. I mean I get it in a challenge arcade type game, doing something that's really hard that other people couldn't, that's a bit like typing your name in the top 10. But when you get one every other minute whenever a stat hits a round number.... I don't even look at them anymore.
