No she didnt like Homosexuals period, research the now infamous and backwards 'Section 28' law that the Thatcher government brought in. She destroyed many families and home towns across the UK, if you lived in the South East Thatcher made you VERY rich but the rest of the country was shafted...

Agree 110% I had masses amounts of fun with the Rainbow Six series as a kid - Raven Shield remains one of my favourite (if a little broken) nothing like the London Bank mission with multiple entry points, sniper positions and ways around the building - literally one mission was HOURS of fun...

Its fairly well documented Macau had lots of problems with internal corruption and Triad Clans fighting it out over Casino turfs, this newspaper article just prior to the handover in 1999 sheds some light on the issue. Heres another article from 1997 describing the Colonial situation in...

With emphasis on the 'one country' Hong Kongers are supposed to be getting the vote in 2017 but they were originally supposed to get it in 2008 - Beijing doesnt want them to have it for obvious reasons - then again is it any different to us sending a Governor out there every few years? Nah...

God save the Queen indeed. I find the worlds view of history fairly slanted and somewhat biased, as far as Empires go the British Empire could've been a whole lot worse, especially when compared to what our other European Neighbors got up to with their territories. Even the US had a go at...

Why would it be poll trolling? It's no secret China has flooded the region with its own mainland population putting great strain on the Hong Kong infrastructure. Healthcare Schools And even baby formula are being snapped up and taken by Chinese nationals. Then you have the erosion...

No idea, Macau was run very poorly by the Portuguese anyway so life may well have improved. A lot of organised crime took root in Macau when it was still a Territory of Portugal.

Not all MMO's follow this trend though, it annoys me because game development companies arent creating more 'unique' styles of MMO games. Face of Mankind was promising until it went to rat shite.

Your comparing modern Britain to 13th century repression of the Scots? You mean the same Scots who are having a vote whether they wish to remain within the union? The Irish got their independence, N. Ireland isnt as simple as you are trying to paint it either. In short are you being...

Hong Kong island was ceded to Britain in 1841 and the new territories held on a 99 year lease - China as a nation wasnt established until 1912 before that it was still a Dynasty the majority of the country ruled by War Lords with the odd imperial outpost. What we know as China today wasnt...

Seems the Falklands referendum has caused some interesting reactions around the planet, namely the former British Territory of Hong Kong that was given back to China in 1997 - The South China Post (one of HK's largest newspapers) put up a poll on its website asking Hong Kongers if given the...

I'm sorry but people simply brushing the debate aside with the word 'drones' is missing the bigger picture. In any conflict you're going to need boots on the ground - the reason Thatcher never argued with the PRC over Hong Kong too much was because the Chinese openly said: "Give us back...

I like to set up bases - in Fallout 1 I ALWAYS clear out the FLC Building in the Hub - Local Cops dont mind. In Fallout 2 I use the Redding Sheriffs Office as my little outpost - I think it adds something to the game.

In my experience you often dont think about it when the situation arises, not to go into details but in my line of work you often end up putting yourself in harms way for others - I ended up on the roof of a railway station trying to talk down a suicidal fifteen year old girl - she walked...

Wow, I think this is just the type of game i've been looking for, used to play an MMO which had a cyberpunk theme called 'Face of Mankind' but FoM lost its way BIG TIME many years ago.

Story wise Fallout 1 wins hands down BUT as others have said Fallout 2 simply has a greater, wider world. It's MASSIVE with so much to do. You are literally drawn into an epic adventure on a massive level. Your first play-through of Fallout 2 would last could last 50+ hours (easily.)...

Cheers for your reply Ardent, I was thinking of modding it into the same myself, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll be sure to share it once the gun is finished. -Rad

Greetings chaps, I was wondering if there was an early game/mid level Mod for implementing a pump/lever action style shotgun into Fallout 2? I've tried a search on the forum but come up empty so apologies if this has already been asked. Its something I’ve always found odd that we have a...

I've also put some money into Dead State.

That shootout was crazy! The 'Tough Guards' were some of the hardest human NPC's in the game, I remember getting my backside handed to me when I first did that quest - much fun.
