  1. I was watching a documentary on Henry Kissinger and it was interesting to hear him talk about the Tonkin bay incident. Basically for nearly two days the US was not certain whether it had been attacked at all. Obviously technology has improved a lot since then, but fog of war is still a factor and facts can be lost through the chain of command.
  2. Mines and torpedoes give off different kinds of explosions. Mines need to be triggered by contact while torpedoes explode prior to impact to maximize the effect of the explosion. Looking at the wreckage experts can tell them apart. So, no mine strike.
  3. Any old laptop can do writing and internet, just sayin'.
  4. The biggest thing seems to be ammo. Don't stay in the same place as the aliens are in unlimited supply. Race to the objectives.
  5. Finally managed to complete the training mission. Took me 6 tries.
  6. It must be hard to fit in, being a former sith lord. They are not so much known for their teamwork.
  7. Or, maybe it's just life sucking. Not everything is explained by mental illness, or mental sniffles, as the case may be. Now go out there and grab life by the ass, bend it over the kitchen sink, and... ehh... lost my train of thought.
  8. Maybe you can repair the installation after you moved it. Is there an option for that on setup.

    20 lens flare effects are always better than one. The only way it could be worse was if they had been added in photoshop instead of with an airbrush.
  11. Why? Because people who wear carry knives might end up using them. The difference between a bar brawl and a murder, despite all intentions to the contrary. There is no school of knife fighting that doesn't involve killing your opponent quickly and efficiently. See what I'm saying ?.
  12. Adding 'Gifted1' to the list took all of two seconds. Must be because they want everyone to break out their credit card nr. before they can use the function. Try adding portal, it's another free game. Maybe that will make you a 100% user.
  13. Every day defensive carry uhh, I think you just terrified me. Leave the knives at home kids, it's good karma.
  14. You can preorder it already if you really want to If I buy it retail do I still have to register it on Steam? Because that would be perfect, really. I don,t want to download a whole game. Yeah people who buy retail have to use Steam, too. But you wouldn't get stuck in the release day download madness as steam only needs to verify and add the game to the games list. So really the smart move is retail if you can't wait a day or two for things to simmer down.
  15. What. I did know that, that was the point. I give up, or rather I don't care. Fine, I'm a strawman or whatever. PS that term really is awfully over used.
  16. Pre orders shouldn't be in the sales repertoire of a digital distribution system anyway. They don't need it, there is never going to be a shortage of copies.
  17. Or rather, you can give away the interest on 49
  18. Getting a steam account stolen would be bad news. I think you can order hardware from Alienware through stream. Punch in a different delivery address and voila. I have never used any of the community features of steam, although it keeps spamming me with messages (in-game no less) about joining the steam community. If any of you Obsidianites want to have a go at the co op my Steam handle is suckmywetfarts
  19. It's like hitting 3 bars on a slot machine except there are millions of symbols and hundreds of slots.
  20. Wait, WHAT? You're going about that all wrong. The chances of somebody winning again are based on their individual chances compared to every other participant in the second contest. You don't keep "slimming down" the pool/odds so that it's harder and harder to win like that. The chances overall of that sequence of events happening are lower than them winning a contest, but they still have the same chances to win the contest as any other participant. We are calculating their chances of winning four lotteries in a lifetime. That's the job, not how hard it was to win the first, second, third and fourth times. It's the same as if all the lotteries they entered in were held at the same time because there is no result without four wins.
  21. Well sure, but in a lottery there are no other dependents to hitting the winning number.
  22. Oh, sorry, which one is that? If it's something silly where you misunderstand probability for the 1000th time in this thread, don't even bother waiting for a reply, though. So you don't even read what I post, you're just here to insult me, is that it? My simple question (posted right after your post) is whether you know that the probabiltiy of an event which has already happended is 1? I'm not math whiz, but that question seems completely illogical. What does probability after the fact matter. It happened, and if it was the only thing we were measuring it doesn't have any probability any more. I think what you are thinking is 'what is the probability of the same event happening agian', But that wasn't the question.
