  1. Yeah. They are usually also fond of misusing the razor. "
  2. Actually, the XM-8 is a lightweight assault rifle derived from H&K's 5.56 modified G36K that constitutes the core of their XM-29 SABR prototypes. The XM-29 is H&K's entrant for the OICW program. The other part of the XM-29 is a 20mm semi automatic cannon (not necessarily a grenade launcher) capable of firing different types of ordnance. The greatest advance in this respect is that the 20mm ammunition carries an on-board computer that enables the round to be detonated mid-air or right after the penetration of soft defenses (glass) at the user's whim. However, and while it's an overall cheaper weapon than its counterpart the M16/M203 (equipped with laser sight and whatnot), elements within the US military have suggested equipping the existing M16 and M4 with the new 20mm cannon to reduce costs. Also, there is concern as to whether light assault vehicles would be more efficient at performing the same tasks as a soldier equipped with the XM-29, due to the weapon's effective range. It's also noteworthy that the XM-29 was not the only prototype to be considered for the OICW. AAI also produced a more compact prototype, but it was discarded due to their reliance on flechette ammunition that, while very efficient, loses accuracy greatly at longer ranges.
  3. Yeah. After all, he single-handedly beat the sh*t out of the Buggers. That's gotta count for something.
  4. M56 Smartgun. A man's choice. Or is it?
  5. That is assuming you can establish such direct relations between the aleph numbers and the analytical concept of ∞, which, following the article, isn't allowed. I read that a certain mathematician was known to be a tad too friendly with mr. Nobel's wife. I used to know his name, but I no longer remember. Others just say that he just didn't like maths at all.
  6. Err... I did a year of physics followed by a year of maths before I decided I'd rather join the military. But as you can see I didn't attend to *all* of my classes. "
  7. Damn. I wish I had attended to my group theory classes... "
  8. Only if he dies from it.
  9. That's right! Because everyone knows that it takes light a year to reach Earth from the Sun. "Everyone", as in just yu0.
  10. Pitch Black is a Fallout Tactics random encounter. Yep. But just like the rest of the "special" random encounters, you need high luck.
  11. Yeah, I guess it's easy if you know what's going on and what to do. But for some reason, Riddick never exited the map in my games, which meant I couldn't recruit him. I could never find that one...
  12. I see you are in a Kaftanbarlast-ism spree... :ph34r:
  13. Uh... yeah. Or you could get brutally raped in the "Pitch Black" encounter. "
  14. These boards aren't big enough for the two of us, and you know it... Well, since posts here at OT don't increase the postcount, his greeting post doesn't need to be his first.
  15. IIRC the Wrights wanted to get into the weapons business too. What other interest could they have in the SAD? I thought that losing karma for slaughtering a bunch of mobsters was pretty lame, regardless of their sign. But then again, I could never get too low a karma, even with my slaver PC...
  16. Well, those were pretty cool games. But unless you absolutely don't care about graphics, I wouldn't recommend them, as they were always (way) behind their SW counterparts. But hey, they had Mark "Skywalker" Hamill as the PC for 2 games, and as guest star in another one! This momentary thread derailment was brought to you by "Those Were The Days" Inc. Carry on with your on-topic discussion. "
  17. Well, the present status quo doesn't allow for that kind of content in games. Paedophilia is illegal, as is rape. So it seems you are just contradicting yourself. And yes, I may be a neo-puritanical extremist in this respect, but so are the majority. Back to the tyranny of the majority that will not give you what you want. Sucks, don't it? What part of the thread title you don't understand? The thread, no matter how many times you repeat yourself, or how much you try to derail it, is not about what content is acceptable in games' plots or as writing elements. It's about player choices. A random assumption lacking any real basis. Very consequent with the rest of your discourse. Sorry, but your attempt to associate my arguments with the rescission of freedom of speech has failed, as you have been unable to find anything in them that hints such a thing. No, I don't think you have a fetish for violence. Neither have I implied so. But you are still dodging the issue, and arguing things other than this thread's topic. And no. No amount of writing is excuse for an explicit 6.8M colour rape scene. No snuff games, please.
