  1. The Republicans used to call the opposition 'Communists' because it was a convenient label with negative connotations, now that that nolonger has even the pretense of sounding genuine it's 'Socialist'. Every society known to man has some degree of redistribution, and that's what it really boils down to. We are talking about A : degrees, and B : labels.
  2. Maybe all the republicans should move to one side of the country, the democrats on the other. Ralph Nader can have Alaska.
  3. 'The dog pulled my trousers down' Brilliant.
  4. That VATS is out, or that they actually shoot back rather than look at their shoes while you pop their mellons.
  5. Stop messing with my heeaaad! You roleplay taking a dump. .... You ought to get a kick out of this then http://www.speech.sri.com/people/anand/toi...t/simulate.html
  6. Farmers are lv 0. All they encounter are radscorpions.
  7. Fallout was always over the top. Realism is not really an issue for immersion I think. It's just too bad this installment is going to be 'family safe' as well, relatively speaking. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to turn tricks or become a pornstar this time around.
  8. You know what annoys me though. After windows XP Alt+CTRL+DEL nolonger starts the task manager, it gives you the logon screen where you can chose to start the task manager, and a bunch of other pointless logon related choices.
  9. The same people who need play, stop and eject buttons for media files.
  10. The windows key is nothing but trouble this is true. There is a registry hack out there that will kill it just as effectively as putting it in a drawer though.
  11. The key to making it work would be to tune the difficulty level just enough that you would be able to get out of most scrapes, but not all. It's a matter of preference, and your preference for quicksaving is not an argument in and of itself.
  12. I actually prefer not having to deal with saves at all. My preference would be to have the game autosave in different slots at every rest spot. I agree that playing without belt and suspenders could make the combat more challenging as it would actually matter whether you lived or died. Either that or it would make your pants fall down.
  13. Also watch out for loose bundles of connectors inside the case, once I had a birdsnest of wires right near the PCI slot I was using for the card and it screwed up the airflow making the fan annoyingly loud in 3d mode.
  14. But you get marginally better service than universal healthcare. And, I should certainly hope, margaritas in the ambo.
  15. that's what they say, I kinda doubt it's much of a real issue though.
  16. My boss has an annoying expectance of being able to text us and getting a timely reply any day of the week. I hate texting, I'm not 15, I don't need or want to learn how to type using the number keypad.
  17. I was able to fix a similar problem simply by taking the card out and vacuming it out, dust had accumulated around the intake. Worth a shot anyway.
  18. It's worth it just for the healing animations. Starting wildfires to flush out the enemy is pretty fun too. The checkpoints are a real chore though, clear one out, come back 30 seconds later and its fully manned again, and there is one around every bend in the road. Why they didn't put in a cooldown period after you took one out is beyond me.
  19. I got Far Cry 2 from the bargain bin. Pretty great level design on some of the missions. Stealth hard to pull off, your enemies are usually better at it than you, which makes it satisfying. On the downside, when you have shot the same guard your 101th time past the same checkpoint you realise that finishing the game would not really entail anything new. I got about 10 hours out of it.
  20. The answer is simpler than you think, he's a half man half dog hybrid.
  21. The Gendarmes switched to linux, but they were probably on the list already, filthy frenchies. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Parlez-Vous...ice-77605.shtml
  22. Another thing, once you have started spotting 'themes' it's really hard to stop after you have run out of relevant ones.
