Well, a peace prize based on results versus one chosen with the (vain) hope of changing things. The committee has a long tradition of being activist. To me it would be a completely pointless trophy if it was only after the fact, but to each hos own I guess. Trying a lot is not the same as succeeding a lot. Yeah but the Nobel prize is now for future deeds and not for what it has actually been done. I think that sunk in about when they gave it to Arafat and Rabin. Leave the cash prize and the pat on the shoulder for the doctors and poets, the peace prize is supposed to be reaching.

Anyone who finds daddy Neeson interesting needs to read more books. FO 3's story was actually good. It just had a very disappointing ending and didn't stand a replay. The first time around though, top marks.

Yep. Every one in a while, not often, just enough to **** with you because they can, the game will refuse to load if you aren't online. Prepare for the desire to toss your monitor out the window.

This is all because of that retarded X box bastard child 'achievements'. Apparently having cheated in single player would subject other players to look at little badges with text that the cheating players did not actually unlock by having no life and after months of mindless repetitive activity finally killing Zerg nr 10 million. The horror !.

Sticks and stones. They need the guy to be a criminal, otherwise it would be on them. Even if it's not the same people in charge anymore.

Ok so it's another week before the game is out and we will actually have something concrete to talk about. dum di dum .... So, seen any good movies ?

Depends on where it's headed doesn't it. If it's just digging a grove in the sides that's no biggie, it will just hurt occasionally, if it's about to cut your toe in half you might want to take drastic action.

How do you guard against players who are masters of hamstering. Are you supposed to ?. Anyway it depends also on what other perks are available on that level.

It looks like they fixed the face gen so it has natural lighting. Makes me think they actually read our suggestions, well either that or they thought of it themselves already.

Go on then ...

I wonder when it's going to start showing up in shops.

It usually works better to spin your own tale right up to the moment of release, after which you can't hide the truth from anyone anymore. It's safer than risking negative hype, especially of course if the game/movie/whatever sucks, but the PR folks will usually want to keep control of the narrative for as long as they can regardless.

What's so exciting about Australia. The dust, the dingoes, or the cows ?

I'm in favor of automatic regen, up to half your full health bar. While I do expect to die when playing, I don't want it to happen constantly. I'm also in favor of alternate ways to keep track of injuries, that is ditching the health bar altogether and instead have alternate animations (Far Cry 2) abilities and movement degraded (broken bones in FO2)

If the matrix and index numbers indicate that Sweden is the most popular country all that proves is that the method is flawed.

This is one of them great mysteries of the universe, right up there with the secrets of the pyramids : why anyone liked HALO. I mean we know that they did, and that they do. Just... WHY ?.

Get with the times already. No one uses EI anymore

I mean to say, there is little going on besides shooting things with guns or magic, or hacking if you took the barbarian or whatever he was called. It pretty much is Diablo.

Torchlight. It's a pretty simplistic top down view fantasy shooter. Strangely addictive.

I always wondered if that was Risen as in choklade Risen or Risen as in not sitting down anymore.

Doesn't follow on a 1 to 1 basis. Most people will take any old garbage if it's for free.

By the way I have a TV license and I don't have a TV. That's how it works here, unless you live in a cave you pay.

It doesn't take much in the way of computer savey to pirate, your average user would be good to go in a heartbeat. Also Hurlshot is right about growing up, that's what happened to me anyway.

Well prices on steam don't reflect those in stores for various nefarious reasons already mentioned. Just wait for the CDs, they will cost the same as everything else. It's the same reason DVD and Blue Ray region coding exists, so they can charge more where they can get away with it. Only with steam they can actually effectively deny parallel imports. If it wasn't the private sector doing it people would be calling it a Socialist conspiracy.
