Contraptions Workshop is terribly, TERRIBLY impractical. I was considering the production lines at first, but it turns out that you can’t manufacture energy weapon ammo and there’s no cross-compatibility between Contraptions and Far Harbor, meaning you can buy .45-70 ammo only on the island.

Yeah, I barely went through “Baptism of Fire”, and just gave up on “Tower of the Swallow”.

In other news, Andrzej Sapkowski, creator of the Witcher, received a World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievements yesterday.

Thank you!

“Unarmed”? Fucking hell. I do know how an airsoft gun looks like, I have an entire drawer of those, and believe me when I say, it looks too real to let a kid play with it. Particularly when you consider the boxes all say “Ages 18 and up” and instruction sheets all say “Do not point at people”. Seriously, why did Tamir…

Thank you Hollywood! Thank you record executives! Thank you Republican Party! Thank you, Americans, for trading your common sense for IHOP gift cards or something!

I live on the other side of the ocean, granted, but the first big news item I remember is Solidarnosc winning the 1989 elections. The Round Table, Lech Walesa, Down With Communism, that stuff.

Yeah, that kinda explains why I felt that Saints Row: The Third was disappointing. It was kinda samey and nowhere near as engaging - hell, the “What I Got” gag was ripped off from SR2, where your character could sing “Take On Me”. And SR4's power fantasy BS is what turned me away from the series.

Oh god, here we go with the new breed of clickbaiting Gawker jackals with no education and even less common sense. You do live in a la-la-land, but so does the supposed designer of this thing (I’ve handled one of those two years ago). It’s a gimmicky piece of shit, designed with mall cops and other Walter Mittys in…

AK47, even civilian versions like Radom Hunter and whatever China’s churning out by the truckload, is a pretty decent hunting rifle - a friend of mine took down a deer with a Saiga and gave me three pounds of venison.

The game or the series? The game was a Czech-made horror adventure game that IIRC had two sequels.

Yeah, repeated head trauma does that.

Because it’s something new for the series, considering that the previous two were typical Italian-American wiseguys befitting a game about mafia.

Russia still suffers from doublethink. The official party line is what it is, but anything subversive is still popular in the underground. Other countries already proved that doublethink cannot be maintained indefinitely, but looking from over the fence, I can tell you that Russia is a state of mind. They yearn for a…

I’m not a fan of buns bigger than the burger, but without pickles and onion, it’s not a burger. Lettuce and tomato welcome, but not required.

Funny, as much as people love to shit on GalCiv3, its unique resources and plot bonuses (like “this plot boosts science building by +3, neighboring plots boost wealth buildings by +3") seem to be more interesting than “spam the one golden pattern”.

Watch_Dogs had a pretty decent (if lacking) gameplay. The writing, however? It was shit. Absolutely turdible. Hell, I wasn’t compelled to finish Act 1, and when I did, it got only marginally better.

Here is a playlist with English subtitles. It’s of dubious legality, but who cares:

They closed my neighborhood DQ. Now all that’s left is a mini DQ stand serving only their icecream.

It’s mostly for building crazy Rube Goldberg machines that may or may not be used to torment Preston and/or Marcy in an absolutely preposterous way.
Also, making insane amounts of basic ammo.
