It's taken me until this runthrough to specialize in rifles; I kept getting side-tracked into flame-throwers ... :D

Really? Then how do they get the numbers like "10 million people tuned into Lost" and such? Questionnaires seem like they would be terribly unreliable. I know that the Neilson ratings system actually puts a box in homes that keeps track of viewing, and you have to volunteer for that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it's totally unreliable. Sounds like the Neilson system is what they are building into the next gen of cable.

It doesn't have to be a sequel to Fallout to be a post-apoc RPG.

Yes, it is.

Time to draw a discreet close to this topic before there are multiple spam toxoses.

They sample a few people who fill in forms, then extrapolate from there. (Cable will soon allow companies to directly monitor viewing, though.)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe ... I haven't tried this particular plot branch for a while. The tutorial is brilliant for this. What is the root of the problem? Crouching? That can be set to toggle, rather than holding the (Shift by default) key down for the duration. The first level, at the Statue, is also pretty good for stealth practice. Weapon choice might be a factor, too: it's a bit hard to hide if you shoot off the GEP gun ... :D

You will.

So the poor (male) person who has to deal with it can not be overwelmed by the odour. That wont work the smells will combine to be super disgusting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not if they can invent odour-remover!

It's not a question of playground jibes and taunts: Valve have an enormous _self-publishing_ development team.

So what's the point in having INT (for example) as a stat, if it has no bearing on the game?

Think of adding a pleasant scent to something like the garbage.

The entire Vavle production team haven't managed to provide episodic expansions every twelve months, so I would say that is a pipe dream.

EA innovating spyware for your advertisemental benefit.

Well, it's starting to look like it; originally this was about pirating.

Well, well done both of them! No surprises that my music knowledge is woefully inadequate.

So ... Guild Wars then?

Yeah, there are some that last a while (a week? a month?) but that doesn't stop your eyes rolling back in your head when you are asleep. Or drunk.

Why not just buy a $5 game magazine with a DVD that contains the download? Yes. No. (Once is enough.)

Um, why?
