I tend to. But its usually a chick so maybe I should ask my shrink what that means.

IIRC AA is set during a UN peacekeeping operation in a fictional eastern European country. Its pretty similar to the Balkans or Libya I think only the US seems a lot more aggressive (actually using ground troops to engage enemy units) .

Probably not the best color palate to use in a warzone.

Japan? Wow. There's a badass enemy. Maybe when the Chinese are done they can invade someone with an actual military.

I'm having a lot of fun watching the chaos this image caused but I should probably point out that Walter White doesn't sell meth to pay for healthcare. He does it ostensibly to provide for his family (there's a lot more to it than that though).

I do it the way I do it because of the way the systems like this handle replies. If I reply to the first comment I'm more likely to get shuffled into who knows where. If I reply to the last reply I'm sorta just writing a novel about things often unrelated to whatever the guy I replied to was talking about.

I live in a part of the country with frequent storms. Its a big issue. Loss happens often enough also precautionary disconnects. We try and unplug expensive electronics to they don't get damaged by power surges. Yes we have surge protectors, they're relatively expensive and only so effective so this is easier.

I have a rule. I play games for fun. If you make me play my game when I don't want to it stops being fun and starts being homework.

I don't think s/he's referring to an exploit. The consequences are permanent but progress isn't lost when the game gets shut off. I've never played xcom but state of decay has a similar system of frequent autosaves and no going back..

You enjoy this feature in any game with quicksave functionality simply by keeping your finger off the f5 button. Why is it necessary to enforce it on every player?

I absolutely hate how removing timely saves is becoming a popular way of artificially making the game more challenging (which it doesn't, it just gets more frustrating).

True, but they fill different roles. I was just pointing out that the B-2

an aircraft carrier full of F-16's

Do you think this might lead to the eventual criminalization of animal slaughter? I wonder if/hope it might.

Imagine, technology could enable guilt-free cannibalism.

Tying a dead body to your truck and shooting people in the back for their shoes is psychotic behavior.

I think of it the other way. I'd like to think I wouldn't murder a little girl for the benefit of the species but when I think about how desperate I'd be to end the horror of a post apocalyptic world I don't know what I'd do.

Yep. Good people like Ellie....

In the universe presented to us, it's more than just 'some'

The fact that atrocities occur in an area should not be used as an excuse to condemn everyone in it to death. Imagine a nuke was going to hit Flint, Michigan (one of the most violent cities in America) would you be okay sentencing 500,000 men, women, and children to death just because they live in a craphole?
