I call such people “power leeches”. Doesn’t matter who is in power or what they stand for, the power leeches will follow them, in the delusion that some of the “power” will rub off on them.

Rubber Bumpers for Everything: when I bought my snowboard & bindings, the bindings came with an ugly black rubber “stomp pad” to provide grip for the boot that isn’t in a binding (when tooling around the lifts etc). Instead of sticking that over the cool graphics on my board, I did a grid pattern of Rubber Bumpers…

Yeah, the GOTY versions are great; DLC’s without faffing around downloading!

I never really worried about manufacturers. I focused on the functions and stats, comparing what I had with what I looted/won/could buy. And I always carried a lot of different weapons (33 slots in the backpack; I walk around with only one empty).

Embrace the silly! :-D

Is there some way the PS3 can tell you how many hours you’ve played a game? Because I’m still playing Borderlands 2 as well, and it would be interesting (and probably a little frightening...) to find out.

But specialisation is the idea: you don’t need one gun for everything; that’s why you carry 4 easy-to-access and more in your backpack. Particular situations require particular solutions.

Half-Life 2 had a crossbow that shot red-hot re-bar. It was very useful.

Are those last 2 real tips? They are awesome.

A similar article a few years back compared some movie archers.

Also, you can’t collect second-hand bullets from the field...

Yeah. There are “Censorship Categories” and “specific markets” to allow stuff for some people that other people might not like; this mentality of “everything must be acceptable to everyone” will end up with a gray square for everything.

(Psst... tenant -> tenet, prey -> pray.)

Yup. My flatmate and I were struggling with (IIRC) Enter the Matrix (hey, it was a tough game, and neither of us were “Gamers”). Then I bought a second-hand memory card, and voila! Full finished game saved on it, along with many, many others. So we could jump in anywhere and mess around. (I sometimes wondered if some p…

Yeah. I think car-makers have done the advertising wrong. Instead of “more efficient = better for the environment”, they should be “more efficient = SAVES YOU MONEY”.

“Some religions won’t survive it.”

I can’t believe no-one else has said it yet:

I have one. Can confirm that it is a very nice tool, although the “flattened” Philips drivers are a bit iffy. The blade can be deployed and closed one-handed.
