    Looking for tactical RPGs.

    Of the codex list, which I believe covers all of the games in this sub-genre, I would like to point out 2 entries to you; "Ufo: AfterNoun" games provide a decent amount of fun, in the "my squad vs the world" game type of the fraxian XCOM, if you can get over the various imbalances and game...

    Turkey downs Russian warplane in Syria.

    At a temp setup right now with not much opportunity to post a detailed response but I'll try to piece together a coherent info blurb from other bits I have posted yesterday (or has it been 2 days? a wee bit busy RL) night. Okay, some dirty laundry time; Short synopsis; My glorious Neo-Sultan...

    A patch is out

    PSA: Magnus; Zooming out to third person (mouse wheel or v (default)) then zooming back in forces model recalculation, which provides a workaround to that issue as well as disappearing pipboy and other less common graphical glitcehs

    Best rifle for the Wasteland?

    187; If you are talking about 7.62x51 Nato; Technically, yes but with multiple cravats; the rifle itself will be heavier than a intermediate cartridge setup, you will only have 2/3s (number of) rounds, it will be much costlier to stockpile ammo and get proficient with it, suppressors will be...

    Weapons in Fallout 4?

    Magnus No, there aren't any ammo types... Buut, in their infinite half assed lazy way, Beth has implemented a weird way to implement armor piercing property onto your crafted weapons. You simply choose the "armor piercing" receiver option from the available mod options. Don't ask. Logic Not Found.

    Best rifle for the Wasteland?

    Depends depends depends... First off, determine what your capabilities are. Even if your (hypothetical) gun can shoot 1 moa at 2 klicks, it wont do you much good if you are unable to use those capabilities without a prebuilt nest, a benchrest, a spotter and a kdt range... then, you need to...

    Weapons in Fallout 4?

    r0b0wnz ; Unfortunately, the F4 Minigun uses 5mm bullets, which have the lowest damage per bullet value. This isn't much of a problem vs normal foes (enemies generally come in 6 varieties unarmoured, light, medium, heavy, tank, drednaught (mirelurk shell, deathclaw face and so on) ) but when you...

    Function of Pipboys in-universe

    It's basically a hand held computing device of limited power. It provides e-book, pda and a flashlight functions as well as being capable of acting as a basic method of direct interface in order to link directly into other devices like consoles, robots and so on for maintenance (and hacking)...

    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    Eh? Mate, nowadays, if one is still naive enough to believe what MSM (of any persuasion) pukes out into the airwaves without at least spending a few moments to compare it to lesser / fringe / semi-professional sources, then (sans massive pockets and a media empire of your own) there isn't much...

    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    This just popped up and being nearly totally divorced from the tv programs... Is this really real (sorry for the butchery of language)? I mean wha? http://youtu.be/N2ukaor3EwU (Mundane Matt on most recent Law & Order episode, or spinoff's episode... something.)

    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    Or maybe the lynching of Mike Resnick and Barry Malzberg had something to do, or maybe SFWA attacking Amazon at the side of the big 6 (traditional publishing houses) to the detriment of the writers, or maybe SFWA treating indy (self published, in most cases various e-formats over various...

    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    Yay, another bunch of non-offensive posts disappear. Seriously tempted to write a bunch of jokes that would inevitably progress to a point that would be line with Godwin's law, but nevermind. Anyway, here are some news for another battlefield that is in my area of interest, the Sci-Fi...

    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    No, Sander. She and You don't get "it". There aren't any perfect heroes in dying light. Everyone fucks up; Everyone falls down; Everyone fails. Just like in real life. It's the family (in the greater sense), friends or even buddies (in the milspeak sense) who covers your ass when you are...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    Alec; have you ever looked into the works of "Christoph Luxenberg" (a pseudonym) on the translation of Quran by any chance?

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    No, the perverted, self serving, poisonous lie that masquerades as being the true meaning of Quran is the enemy. As for how to force muslims to actually read the book instead of the "phonetic parroting*"... well your suggestions are welcome *Look, I know this sounds ridiculous but a lot of...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    No, it isn't. The main "tenet" of salafism is destroy the heretic, convert his get and plunder his wealth. And for a salafi, anyone who isn't a salafi is heretic. For your average muslim, what Imam says is what Islam is and since the position of Imam are occupied by salafi trained/backed...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    Sander, your average "muslim" has no fucking clue what Quran dictates as they have never ever actually read the bloody book. Your "average" muslim is such a lazy specimen that s/he looks at imam to translate what Quran dictates and leaves it at that. What imam says is what Islam is and today...
