    Google Maps Hilarity

    No, but would any of us have been surprised for a split second had it tried to give you a bunch of sponsored links for travel sites for trans-ocean map requests?

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Reinstalled the original Tribes for nostalgia's sake. Strangly enough, there are still games going online for it. I've also been playing Civ4: Warlords and Age Of Empires 2: Conquerors (Still my favorite RTS of all time).

    The most hated family in america

    I really don't care that they picket homosexual parades and presidential inaugerations, its in their freedom of expression. I'll defend their right to their idiotic and disgusting "thank god for 9/11" signs as well - though I find those distasteful, they're also protected in their freedoms and...

    Weapons

    Metalstorm is interesting, yet there are a number of questions I haven't seen answered. Their high ROF system capable of a cyclic ROF over 1million rounds a minute (cyclic ROF is always misleading though, it assumes a endless magazine, constant autofire, and no reloading) is a 36 barreled...

    Heh, thanks.

    What's your Occupation?

    I'm back to doing what I was in high school, Industrial Machining. I just got my medical discharge kicked back by the MEPS, I tried to re-enlist since I can still fight, but they just said no and made it permanent, so I am now applying for Law Enforcement.

    What shoes do you wear?

    I got so comfortable in these and the desert version I have been wearing them almost all the time. They're Corcocan Mach Boots, I love them.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. interview with CVG and GameSpot

    And honestly, those RPG features mentioned are fairly opposite to what Hines seems to believe makes an RPG and what made it into TES:Oblivious. I personally don't mind the lack of stats and number crunching, if the game has good dialog, in depth information gathering and "quests" (though it...

    Full Body Shot

    Why is there a picture of a metro male in a leather harness labeled "Full Body Shot" in the News section? When did the Order take over the front page?

    February 2007, busiest month since ever

    It's a noted phenomena. NMA has always been subject to influxes of new posters that filter away after awhile. It's like watching a tide, one that seems most felt by the General Fallout and Fallout 3 boards which get periodically bombarded with "wishlists".

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    No, M240s are for the Army, the AirForce gets the M60s from the Army, and if they do get a M240, it goes to the SPs. And no, I didn't have any trouble. I actually had less issues with it than the damned thirty year old M16A1 "upgraded" to an A2 that I'd been originally issued.

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    As someone who has used 5.56 in a defensive situation in Iraq, I thoroughly hate the round and the M16. The "sniper" (an idiot with a scope on an AK at about 200 yards) got back up the first two times I shot him, stayed up through another, and finally dropped for good on the fourth hit. After...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    SuAside - As far as I am concerned from what I've heard and read (I admit I have never personally fired it), the 5.7 round is far too specialized to be practical. It's performance seems largely talked up and is almost always referancing body-armored opponents. It's come under critisism for its...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Sure, which is why after extensive testing the United States' FBI, who are noted for being among the world's premier handgun marksmen settled on the 10mm auto, then once they realized the overpenetration lost killing power and also endangered bystanders and the round had entirely too much recoil...

    Desslock and Fallout combat/viewpoint

    True, their preproduction stage is rather long. Maybe they're taking more classes on 'soil eroshun!'

    DaC throws down the gauntlet

    I think it could be an absolute success, but only if the other aspects were done well. Fallout was a success itself, even if only as a sleeper hit, which doesn't quite appease the instant-satisfaction seeking financiers of gaming companies. They want huge bucks, right off the shelves, right...
