Only time I found the game challenging is against the critters on Monarch, where I landed on the distant pad, and had to hack my way through multiple encounters with critters far more powerful than me. That was due to my own miserliness though, not wanting to spend the bits to buy the closer...

I found a Steam title recently, Vagrus, and want to share. It's early access blah blah, but I feel it has potential and NMAers may enjoy. Premise that that you're the cross between a merchant and adventurer in essentially a post-apocalyptic world riven with magic and mayhem. You adventure...

TOW is similar to Fallout 3 in complexity and immersion. Except for lacking the Liberty Prime bit of course. I enjoyed it, and plan to give it a second play through, this time from the opposite angle I did my first to see what the ending credits show differently. The game did strike me as...

Someone with motivation should found a No Mutants Allowed subreddit. The we could sperg on Reddit about Reddit, just like those assclowns at https://old.reddit.com/r/4chan/. And they should make it a closed group to be really cool.

PST is my favorite RPG of all time. There's a reason Morte is my avatar in this and all other forums I frequent. Where did you find those resources? I'd like to play through again with these changes.

So, I haven't tried it yet...because it isn't released yet, but some people I know recommended this game to me. http://theindiestone.com/lemmy/2011/03/15/a-slightly-less-pathetic-game-announcement-with-screenshots/ They appear to be taking the Notch and Minecraft indie route to publish...

Oh, I see. You want non-Scandinavians in the Nobel deciding body. I don't see that happening. The prize is essentially designed to reflect Scandinavian values, thus it's appropriate that it contain Scandinavians. Values of social responsibility, tolerance, and human rights. Hmm, doesn't...

There are radical and reactionary groups in every country in the world. Falun Gong in China is a counterexample. I don't consider the presence of small numbers of extremists as a disqualifier for making peace prize awards. Are you arguing that nations outside of Europe and US aren't awarded...

I stand corrected. Didn't realize they were appointed by parliament. Since no Nordic nation has been involved in a war of it's choosing since before WW2, except technical and other minimal actions, they are a credible source for an international peace prize.

The Nobel group is a NGO; they are not associated with thegovernment of either Norway or Sweden. Besides, the fact that it is not awarded by a nation is exactly what gives it its power. And even if they were, please enlighten us as to the wars either country has involved itself in in recent...

The most likely place to catch a cold is anywhere near someone with a cold. It's mostly independent of weather and season, statistically, only correlating with the cold at all because our noses run more. Best thing you can do is not get stressed out or otherwise immunocompromised. Second...

I agree with your assessment and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. A stadium deal was almost completed this legislative session, using revenue from the addition of coin slots to a local horsetrack. It was nixed, though, because the local Indian casino has huge clout in St Paul and...

The Vikings' plan is pretty clearly a one-season-at-a-time thing, they want to win a Superbowl this year and rebuild next. Fuck Moss the personality, fellate Moss the receiver. This is Favre's last year, and there is no good QB backup. Once Rice returns from his salary tantrum and...

My team, using ESPN rules and online system: QB Peyton Manning, Ind QB RB Beanie Wells, Ari RB RB Matt Forte, Chi RB Pierre Thomas, NO RB WR Donald Driver, GB WR WR Terrell Owens, Cin WR TE Greg Olsen, Chi TE D/ST Packers K Stephen Gostkowski So far so good, for not really...

Mr. Midshipman Hornblower by C.S. Lewis. Ever since I saw the films on cable I've wanted to read the series.

Indeed. Last I heard oil had stopped gushing, replaced with mud injected to stem the leak. If the mud stops flowing they'll know the well is stable enough to pump concrete and close it semi-permanently. Or, so I understand. @Uncanny Garlic In the past few days the government as been...

Not to derail the two derails already present... Horizon Oil leak is probably closer to 50,000 barrels per day. Corexit, the dispersant used by BP (and developed by Exxon via Nalco) is an environmental pollutant. BP cleanup teams preventing journalists from viewing or visiting oiled...

Coffer Dam Fail Now looking for solutions to intractable, long-forseen but never addressed issue of a broken and leaking oil well under enough pressure to crush a submarine. Applicants must show they understand hydrodynamics of the deep ocean. Rewards include saving one of the most...

What the hell are you babbling about? This is not a thread for your random verbal diarrhea. Go rate avatars if that is the extent of your interest and capacity.

More on the chemical dispersants: I think we're trading poison on the surface with terrible but known consequences for poison on the seafloor with unknown consequences. I prefer the devil we know.
