lol, so do I. Its one of those games that gets installed whenever I build a new rig.

I'm in the field myself, in the Emergency side of things though, hence the Civil Defense logo as my avatar, even though FEMA and IAEM depreciated it about 10 years ago. But I still like it more than the new Emergency Management service…

Yeah it is/was here in the States too, especially in areas that had a ton of foreclosures. People would break into vacant houses and strip all of the wiring out the walls.

It got to the point where the State, County, and City here in Orlando all started tracking who was selling scrap metal, as well as the quantities…

And copper theft as well, right? I seem to remember reading a bunch of articles on The Register about people nicking BT's copper lines around there.

Yeah it is, but its not really usable. The aircraft that dropped it had to be specially modified to carry it because it was so physically large.

Just make sure you're using realistic yields and most fusings are Airbursts. In Nuclear Warfare, you're trying to knock out the enemy's second strike capability with what they call a Slow Walk. Where several MIRVs are targeted and delayed by about 30 seconds to 2 minutes to minimize attrition through debris being…

Dammit. You beat me to it.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"

I'd actually probably play this game, but really, that statement about sums up Nuclear Warfare, a reality that I've had much more exposure to than your average person. My grandpa worked on the Manhattan…

...and you're missing my point entirely.

So, in your mind It's okay for violence to happen to someone because of their gender, as long as its the right one, because history. Correct me if I'm wrong, but thats how it comes across.

History is a poor means of excusing people's shitty behavior in the present. Its a…

Im the opposite. I'm out. This shit is not worth my time because a special interest is asking for exceptions yet again. Yeah there's a violence problem. People are nasty, petty, mean, and violent to one another, news at 11.

I dont give a damn if its a woman or a man, noone deserves to be a victim of a violent act but…

Hell, I just wish content providers would acknowledge that format shifting and porting aren't crimes. I don't consider format shifting piracy since I already paid for the content once.

If its remastered, expanded, or up-scaled or something similar, I'm paying for it again because I see it as a different work. But if…

My god.

My family used to actually own one of these TVs. We bought it at a "Going Overseas for two years and I ain't storing a bunch of shit I won't want when I get back after that long" sale on NAVSUBASE Kings Bay when I was 3. We gave it to my uncle about 13 years later when the Playstation refused to work on it…

It happens, plus it doesn't help that nVidia and AMD change their model numbers around every so often, admittedly it confuses me sometimes, and I used to do IT work for a living. What's even worse is when they put out a new hardware stepping, or introduce some half-assed proprietary nonsense to certain SKUs (like the…

We'll have to wait until the game launches next week to see how The Sims 4's performance shakes out, of course. But it makes sense that EA would want to keep the game more casual-friendly than, say, Battlefield 4 or Titanfall—two of its rockstar shooters that are often used as poster children for powerhouse gaming…

I don't recall the approach to Assalkushalit or Ularradallaku, the two Daedric ruins inside the Ghostfence looking like that, but I will say its a hell of a lot better looking.

First, Bethesda's developers didn't have much to do with ESO aside from guidance, its a Zenimax Online game.

Secondly, no, they really didn't deviate from established lore.

Since its set in 2E 582, the Third Empire hasn't been founded yet and the 2nd Era is only vaguely referred to in documents and texts in the Third…

What licensing or permits? You do realize that it varies extremely widely from state to state correct?

In Nevada or Florida (and I assume Texas, but I didn't live there long enough to find out), I don't need any form of license to own a semi-automatic AR-15 unless I'm concealing it in a vehicle or on my person which…

Yeah same here, someone made a comparison to games journalists and indie developers acting like the "Blue Wall" and forming a laager (Rhodie/Saffer term, sorry. I guess the American equivalent would be "circling the wagons") and only vaguely commenting on the issue, or active suppression of any discussion on the…

Hell, I'd be happy if they just went back and finished the original game much less more of the damn story, Xenogears was supposed to be like Episode V or VI in a larger story about Solaris, the Contact and Antitype that they hint around about in the original game. It'll probably never happen, but I can dream damn it.

Oh it does, as soon as anyone opens their mouth about supporting a terrorist organization its enough for a FISA warrant, and at that point they're not just collecting metadata to add to your file in XKEYSCORE with a Section 702 investigation, they'll get a FISA warrant to pull full fat intercepts, I'm sure they know…

Yep. They said they planted the ISIS flag on Sony's servers and then something along the lines of "Kuffar (which is spelled incorrectly, kaffir is a more correct translation) don't get to play videogames until the bombing of ISIL stops". I won't link directly to their twitter feed, but the link to The Register article…
