It’s so much better when you stumble across it, isn’t it.

Yes. Descent Freespace is still the best space-flight sims ever. Highly recommend picking them up from www.gog.com. The entire series Freespace I & II (plus expansions) is less than $7.50 right now...

Descent Freespace 3!

What “The English Guy” is saying, is that hacking is not necessarily an illegal activity. Like driving a car, it is illegal to do in certain places or without a license, but isn’t necessarily illegal on its own.

At least she didn’t vote for Moore.

Sounds like the best route is to buy the normal game and purchase the season pass separately. Saves you $0.01. Not much, but something?

That was my thought too.

A single bullet hole (or even several) is very unlikely to cause structural failure in a plane. Bullet holes in pilots tend to cause more serious issues though...

I prefer Monster Chess when playing with just two people, or Bughouse for a larger group. Either is much more entertaining... 

Yup. Try Freespace & Freespace 2. You can pick them up for current versions of Windows PCs at GOG.com. Well worth the money.

I’ve kept my wife from buying/asking for one by informing her that should we ever get one, the first thing I will attempt to do is hack/modify its programming (probably for nefarious purposes).

Personally, the only well known characters in the Simpsons with an easily identifiable nationalities is Apu & Groundskeeper Willie...

What if that supposedly reckless driver is rushing a friend to the hospital? You could make the difference between life or death for the passenger because you won’t move over.

If you haven’t played AC2, AC:Brotherhood & AC:Revelations, I highly recommend giving them a try.

I prefer the Descent Freespace games over the Star Wars space-flight games.

I believe in leaving toilet lids down as well, but for completely different reasons.

Exactly. A best case scenario (i.e. a good middle ground) is rarely (if ever) attained by governments on a national scale. I (personally) prefer to err on the side of giving my government less control over me than more.

Oddly enough, Borderlands’ world of Pandora or Fallout (preferrably New Vegas region).

Have you read 1984 by George Orwell? If not, you need to. Immediately.

I’m surprised Assassin’s Creed wasn’t mentioned as the quintessential “traverse the map to complete the checklist of activities” style game...
