I think you sent that to the wrong person. :p

Making a gun is infinitely more complex than making an explosive. A gun requires equipment, specialist materials, a good amount of knowledge and a good amount of technical skill. Any idiot can make an explosive if they study a tiny bit. It's akin to following a cookbook as well as some very basic know-how.

Aye. That was my original point. Those games don't remove the key element of interaction with the environment whilst you wait for the progression. Games like CoD do.

Y'know, something that always amuses me is how lax explosives laws are around the world. I guess it's different to guns in that you require some degree of competence to create explosives whilst a gun requires that you have a hand but doing so isn't actually against the law in most places.

Aye, I know that you mean that. But pretty much every FPS game, - even classics like Half Life, - have moments like that. There will always be a moment where you are stuck into a choice of doing something or not progressing.

This is the biggest difference I see between Half-Life and the likes compared to most modern FPS games. You were allowed to interact during what were effectively cutscenes. They didn't take away your control as the player. Want to jump around like a madman whilst exposition is being told to you? Sure! Go ahead.

So... Whose fault is it? Is it just a case of two stroppy groups in the house of representatives being unable to do something that is, quite arguably, very useful for America?

It's a moustache! :p

They show that in the video. It's actually kinda neat.

I remember a teacher I had angered another teacher when I was... 8(?)

She doesn't sound wary of video games so much as she's sad they aren't reading as well.

It was going to be DLC for SR3 then they turned it into a game with modifications to the storyline (SR4,) and then they chose to release this as DLC for the modified storyline as it is an alternate version of the story.

The canceled Saints Row the Third expansion sees new life as the first DLC mission pack for Saints Row IV. In this alternate take on the Zin invasion storyline, Zinyak and the legions of his alien empire trap the Saints in a virtual world run by a mad AI program known as the Dominatrix. In order to thwart her…

Mine is a good deal larger. :p Although my active mod folder is about 150 mods.

If a kid is on minecraft online he should be able to do fractions. You learn that when you're 7/8. Mind you, there are some kids who are younger that play Minecraft... But, honestly, as much as I believe kids can be tech-savvy I don't think that online interactions should really be allowed before they have even…

You know... It's kinda weird but I almost miss loading screens. Nowadays games load in less than 10 seconds all the time; even a ridiculously heavily modded Skyrim. (We're talking more mods than there is base skyrim files levels of ridiculous.)

I dunno. I've been shown pics of him in some rather fetching dresses. :p

Oh, also, I should add that the 'sick' part is a play on the idiom of being green with envy. It means I am quite jealous of the lenient position those employees are in where they can fuck up like that and still have a job. My entire tirade is a reactionary reply to a tirade of yours that seems to be based upon you not…

The majority of oil-based companies are the primary investors worldwide in renewable sources of energy as well as methods of reducing carbon emissions. It's naive to assume that energy companies, of all the companies in the world, do not realise that long-term they require another source of energy.

People never miss a chance to defend a company that spies on everyone and wants to spy even more on everyone and even has patents for spying on everyone even more.
