There is something else though. The makeover is also to test the waters to see if a new HW game would be viable. So, fingers crossed.

Losing proposition to go directly for destoyers and battlecruisers unless you have teammates watching your ass. FFA is a crapshoot though, you can get away with anything if the circumstances permit it. In HW2 i used to demoralise cap rushers by targeting the research modules and make them rage quit. Cap rushers are on a very tight timetable and can't afford any distractions. IF they are the first to pump out a destroyer near an enemy MS, it's usually over though.

Going to get Wicher and then decide if I need to upgrade. Not upgrading so I can play one specific game at the expense of waiting for a more oppertune time. That would be silly.

"Interrogation at Guantanamo was left to untrained amateurs"
They probably want to keep it in the army. Make sure no law enforcement start to make additional legal challenges.

"Interrogation at Guantanamo was left to untrained amateurs"
Waits for 'get real' comments about how useful torture is. Easy enough to posit as what they said to people other than him is probably classified.

What's on the idiot box... Part 3
Yeah I was all excited about it, thinking it might be a good source of clips on the Silk Road and the Yuan Dynasty court. But it went off the rails rather quickly. The real story about the successive Khan assaults on the walled city is pretty interesting. There was a documentary on it on youtube but I think they took it down. But yeah, lots of naked concubines and princesses and whatnot and not much depth to any of the characters. It's Hallmark produced by HBO. (not literally)

Shadowrun Returns
Just started the Original Campaign after running through Dragonfall in a two afternoons. Combat is weak but writing is strong. I kinda think combat is so unimpressive that it should have been real time with pause or maybe diablo style. Mostly no real offering of tactical choices to justify turns so adding time and timing might have helped create a sense of urgency. For the basics of getting a turn based shooter to work. Xcom reboot is the new gold standard. Not really a place for anything that is demonstrably worse.

For some reason that pic reminds me of Judge Dredd.

Another incident with black men getting shot by police
You could just view it as a logical result of an armed populace. The police don't shoot anyone in countries where beat cops don't carry guns, and that statistic goes both ways, cops are safer on the job when it isn't a well stocked warzone. I'm not suggesting US cops be disarmed, it's too late for that. Maybe those shirt cameras should be mandatory for every police interaction. Make it part of the chain of evidence/custody.

The Funny Things Thread
- Why ban our pretty lady thread?
Dunno, if I were to guess I would say it was deemed too much work to patrol the thread. Maybe someone thought it shouldn't necesarilly become a staple of the forum. Family friendly versus a certain sausage fest vibe. Not entirely unfair obejctions. On principle I come out on the side of the free exchange of thoughts and ideas nearly every time, just don't particularly really care this time.- EA Origin security breach again. Careful if you are thinking of getting Dragon Age: Inquisition
The long and the short of it is that it is unwise for web stores to save your credit card information after a transaction, but without it you can't just 'impulse click' and buy something. You would need to type in your credit card number again. The saftest place to buy things are stores that let you purchase with a 'guest' login.- EA Origin security breach again.

Everybody everywhere hates EA, it is the norm, not a meme.- Engine/Middleware Modifications - What/Who?
I noticed that Unreal engine subcribers get the whole thing. The source code to alter any way they want. I would imagine you get someone who knows how to do the feature you want, but source code modification is available for anyone. In the case of Unreal they get their cut when and if you sell your game.- USA : State of the Union Address
The fed is what passes for a national bank in the US and in terms of public image it is somewhere inbetween the Illuminati and Weyland Utani. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation. There is undeniably a need to regulate (as in influence, not legislate) interest rates, inflation, economic activity, what have you, but giving this power to politicians would be tantamount to Communism. So they gave it to a sinister cabal instead.- What are you playing now?
Shadowrun Dragonfall. Decided to give it another go. It's decent. The combat system is kinda meh though and I also feel they starve you for abilities. It's just hard to have a satisfying build when you can't realistically advance more than 3 skill bars and for each skill advancement bar there is a prerequisite bar which ads no skills. Usually it's just core to hit bonus. Also, why is there no cover behind doorways ?. I suspect it's because LOS is sortof broken. Don't like the graphics much, the best that can be said about them is that they are adequate. The story is strong and you generally care about the NPCs you are straddled with. Straddled as in there is no permadeath and in select missions you die automatically if a party member dies. It would have been a much better game if more care had been taken designing the combat system and play testning the environment. Not complaining though. It's well worth getting overall.- ....Well crap
Wouldn't it be an advantage to be small and wirery over buff, like running a marathon. Theres not as much mass to move.- USA : State of the Union Address
The president has nothing to do with the economy and he always gets the blame, or the praise, anyway. It's tradition.- New Vampire RPG in development.
It's bull certainly. Kappa are the mythological equalivants of Panda bears. They wouldn't survive 5 minuites out of a zoo. http://onmarkproductions.com/html/kappa.shtml - Why ban our pretty lady thread?
