  3. I gotta say, if I were on a stroll in the forest and I saw that, I'd be inclined to shoot it.

    Of course, no human being can ever be sure they did it. It's like claiming you can tell the difference between a convincing hallucination of a crow and just a regular-ass crow. Last night's escapades involved motorcycles on a dirt trail, a war veterans meeting inexplicably located in a sandpit, supercanuk walking off the end of a shattered bridge and ending up minus an arm in a cartoonish fashion, and random gunplay against a faceless opposing force.

    How do you people do this? I tend to get something more along the lines of 'a thing and a place and some people but the details escape me aside from the inevitable failure'. and there are never happy endings. Main reactor? Hollywood style.
  8. Fear Factory - Cars As long as we're doing covers...
  9. Still looking for an Ottawa show...
  10. Jeans oddly enough. But for a long time all I had were cargo pants.
  11. Yep. I remember that hallway. It's under Agropom ... lawl PS: Bullets ricochet off hard objects when they strike at oblique angles.
  12. Well they call them Hydrashok hollowpoints and the Black Kite ("a big gun for real heroes"), but they're in there ;)

    Rarely remember anything. When do, it always involves driving somewhere (but I can never figure out where) or shooting at something (but it's never clear what). The guns always jam. Meg thinks that means something. I think my subconscious is just an obstructionist son of a bitch who won't let me have the satisfaction of killing my enemies.
  14. Unless you're doing this as a hobby, why the hell would you bother with a Linux server on a small home network when the client systems are all Windows? Boggles the mind.
  15. Fainting goats!
  16. Give me your money.
  17. COD4 is good as well. The pea-shooter comment is pretty accurate I guess, in that you usually need a clean headshot to kill anything without using about 15 bullets. But it works...pistols are pretty near useless without a headshot, but they serve their purpose - last-ditch backup. Depending how much ammunition you want to expend and what kind of armour you want to lug around, you can play this game like Doom or Rainbow Six or thief or whatever...heavy gunplay, stealth, speed....it's pretty open-ended...up to the player. The trnaslations are not complete....general small talk between characters is mostly in russian, and some of the text dialog is poorly or incompletely translated. A prequel is coming in the spring. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky will include new areas and gameplay elements which were stripped from Shadow of Chernobyl.

  19. A couple Kawasaki 'banned' commercials - most likely because they glorify (hilariously) excessive speeding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eByvq8dDdV0
  20. Good times to be had in The Ukraine, apparently.

  22. Ok. I bought this game on Steam one day on impulse. It took a long time to download, and I had to do it twice. Even now it crashes quite often, but that's the fault of my terrible computer. It was originally developed in Ukraine or Russia, so the translations are it little weird and most of the game dialog is not english. I think this kinda adds to the game rather than detracting from it. On to the main bit: This game is badass. It's ridiculous. Think Oblivion in Ukraine with guns, bandits, and mutants. It's an open-ended survival shooter with an inventory system and minor RPG elements. You can go anywhere and do anything at any time, provided you have the supplies and weapons to survive. It's not quite real-time, but it does have a fairly long night/day cycle, and it does significantly affect the gameplay. It's dark, dreary...very atmospheric. The weather and environmental effects are very impressive - combine a distant night-time lightning storm with a ruined industrial landscape and add some very good dynamic lighting, and the view is very cool. the environment is to scale with about 30 square kilometers of play area. There are no driveable vehicles, which means...well, you'll be walking alot. But the travel generally isn't boring because there are dangerous people, animals, and anoalies all over the place which must be avoided or killed. the landscape itself is amix of plains, forest, ruined towns, and heavy industrial areas. I haven't seen it yet, but it includes the chernobyl nuclear facility. the area is fairly true to life as far as town locations and late-soviet architecture, though some liberties have been taken. I dunno how far through I am, but if you need a game to kill alot of time with...I'd say this is a good choice.
  23. I need one of these. NEED. And I hate glocks.
