‘Avoid military-style clothing, especially in less developed countries. It doesn’t make you tacti-cool, it makes you a potential soldier.’

- The State Departments Levels are a bit conservative and are not specific to any regions, cities, etc. For example, the UK and Brazil are both Level 2. Go to Trafalgar Square and a Favela in Sao Paulo and see how that holds up. Similarly, Denmark is Level 2 and Kazakhstan is Level 1, go figure.Point is, exercise good…

112 if you have a GSM phone.

Tell your bank and credit card folks you’ll be overseas. Give them dates and cities or countries being visited so they don’t flag overseas charges as suspected fraud. Get their contact numbers in the places you’ll be in case things get lost or stolen.

Ironically enough, most games feature long range weapons that have an effective range well below that of a real world shotgun; when I go bird hunting or clay shooting, I’m firing at targets more than fifty or sixty feet away.

“Far Cry 3 is better than I remember it. The 2013 game, may be a more directed experience then the series’ most recent installment.”

I love how you just lumped every person who like the games’ authenticity into one category, nice job.... I read what the historians wrote about medieval Europe to Vávra, and from what I could gather, they said there were very few people of color in 15th century Bohemia, and they would’ve resided or passed through in…

Yes, sorry. I simply meant that they were ready to offer it. Usually, successful development\publishing houses will wait for some sort of public outcry or twitter storm before they even consider it. Kudos to Epic for being willing, even if it does come with the standard rebate processing.

If it had to be shut down in the end, I don’t think Epic could have possibly handled it in a better way. An acknowledgment of the community’s investment, an apology, and a full refund. If only every studio could afford to be so classy about it.

I really appreciate Epic because they’re active with the players community by way of enhancements and bug fixes. It’s refreshing to see an immediate, you-didn’t-have-to-ask-for-it refund too.

This. I was planning on building a rig but the prices were too insane. I got the following for $750 in a pre-built:

Just throwing this out there, but if you go for a prebuilt rig on, say, CyberPowerPC, the GPU’s are still at suggested retail price. Basically meaning that if you had been planning to scratch build an entire rig, it would actually be cheaper to get a prebuilt one for the time being. I’m honestly considering doing it…

Possible, but I know someone with a similar story. No flight attendant though. He was an executive officer for a general, and had to take a steaming dump inches away from him on a flight.. while looking at him in the eyes.

This is a really nice suite of skins for Rainmeter, and the author has done a great job with the design.

I'm in tears right now. I totally lost my shit at this:

When I was 18 my girlfriend at the time was finally ready to have sex. I, as one might expect of a 18 year old, was excited. Neither hell nor high water was going to stand between me and my final destination.

I get ready for the night, trim everything up, shower extra well. Unfortunately there was also an issue. I have…

Not only am I laughing in an airport bar but I plan on sending this to everyone I love.

I am seriously, literally crying right now. My co-workers probably think I'm nuts. I think I should forward this to them so they know I'm not insane.

As a person with Crohn's, I share your fear. I feel nauseous having read that. I've been in a Cessna Citation 8 for business (8 seat corporate jet), so I know how incredibly small the inside of these jets are. That must have been hell for all involved.

I know it's immature but I'm dying laughing right now.
