    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    The sound produced by a "Shot" looks like a spike in Decibel/Time graph and unless you are firing something along the bottom of the power curve (through a long barrel for the said caliber) the spike will be high enough to hurt your hearing. Now, a single spike won't cause permanent harm but if...

    Russian-Ukrainian war

    One very scary fact that everyone (media and diplomats) are glossing over at the moment is the Russia's defacto declaration of war on UK and USA. Based on the wording of the 1994 Nuclear treaty , which Russia is violating, UK and USA are treaty bound to respond to evict the Russians and protect...

    George Zimmerman, race and the NAACP

    Has any of you had the opportunity to read Thomas Sowell's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" by any chance? If you can find a copy, I would recommend it Sander. Moving on, I would argue that in addition to the collapse of familial structure in below-middle class black population in...

    XCOM: enemy unknown

    Let me put it this way, I had 2 games (Classic and Impossible, both non-ironman) with similar base layouts (2 steam vents on lvl3, both on same side), with same starting continent. The only difference was 3(S)-1(A)-1(H)-1(Su) +2(A) primary team for the impossible and 2-2-1-1 +1(A)+1(H) for the...

    XCOM: enemy unknown

    The new game is decent but really lacks the randomness factors in the strategic layer that defined the originals. There is exactly 1 setup to pull a perfect first month (ie not loosing any country) and if you can manage to scrape by the first missions and get 6 or 8 troops to lvl 3 without...

    Fallout: Tactics Redux Mod released

    I think just a slight rewording of the briefing is enough to clear this out of place feeling. "MISSION_25_BRIEF = { Well done, warrior!!! \n\n The detonation has breached Vault 0's outer perimeter. While your squad was recovering from the blast, Dagger Squad went full hazmat and...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Zip seems to be a neat idea but it isn't there yet. The placement of charging and clearing handles are a disaster waiting to happen, it is reported to be prone to jamming in non-standard conditions and the ergonomics of the gun are off unless your hands are just the right size. This way of...

    Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You don't need to go that far (professional grade equipment) Suaside. Just go and buy yourself a metal cased oil filter unit.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    It was a nice movie but the I wanted to slap the idiot who choose the gun loadouts for the good guys. I can stomach Holywood gun combat (bullet proof car doors and stormtrooper marksmanship) but when good guys are shooting pistols at carbine / black rifle equipped opponents (and matching their...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Kyuu; Ah, a Californian. That explains it. My condolences. Basing on your comment on no experience, I would suggest starting with researching AR-15 platform and local (at least near) gunshops, gunsmiths and firing ranges. Your first step should be finding someone or someones that you can...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Without any sarcasm, 2 questions; -Are you serious? (As you come off as completely foreign to modern weaponry) -Where/ Which country are you living in? US? Eu?

    Obsidian CEO Talks Working on Fallout Again

    There are only a few titles that actually managed to do that in an enjoyable fashion imo. Aside from a few old titles like Freedom Fighters (yes it's 3rd person but it did a passable job of it) the only game(s) that had a decent tactical tool was the Brothers in Arms series. *Would you...

    Playstation 4 Announced, Diablo 3 and more coming

    One of the new plagues on gaming industry is the US and EU corp laws. Development groups are generally stuck on the wrong side of minimum personnel thresholds, artificially inflating their operating expenses.

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Crni Vuk; I don't get your antagony against W-Y. I know and agree that Xenomorphs need to be / must be the primary opposition but they don't bring any moral conflict or good/bad vs right/wrong choices to the table. A game focused solely on Xenomorphs would be a survival horror game, with...
