    Turkey downs Russian warplane in Syria.

    Here's a documentary from Vice that offers proof from Russian soldiers themselves: On Syria. I remember watching videos on Liveleak in 2011 about the protesters being shot at. The majority of the video's commenters were cheering for the protesters, encouraging them to fight for freedom and...

    V:TM - Bloodlines

    My first playthrough was with a Tremere. I did all I could to adhere to Maximilian's commands and never got the apartment.

    Sensory Deprivation Tank

    On my holiday in Amsterdam I floated twice. The first time I couldn't relax that well, I was a bit too preoccupied with my position in the tank. If my foot or head brushed against the edge, I would push myself off and that would break the immersion. It was calming, but I couldn't get the most...

    GTA V

    You are correct, the Japanese name for the series is "Ryu ga Gotoku" which is precisely what you said.

    GTA V

    Nope, it's Yakuza and it's made for PS3 by Sega. Takes place in Kabukicho in Tokyo. It's like GTA, but instead of driving cars you go on foot and there's a great close combat system. Back when I procured the game I was a rookie with PS3 controllers but I found the combat controls easy to learn...

    GTA V

    I think I'll hold off on buying the game. Here's my reasoning. I had played every GTA since the first one and Four didn't really captivate me. I plowed through it twice and didn't fancy playing it anymore. It had good characters, but the plot left a lot to be desired. Then what similar urban...

    Sensory Deprivation Tank

    Next week I'm visiting Amsterdam and I'm really looking forward to floating for the first time in my life. I heard of floating from Joe Rogan of course and consider it a viable form of meditation. The place I go to is close to my hotel so I'll probably do several stints in the tank. I'll report...

    How'd you get your username?

    I opened the dictionary and chose a word I had never heard before. avaunt [əˈvɔːnt] sentence substitute Archaic go away! depart! [from Old French avant! forward!, from Late Latin ab ante forward, from Latin ab from + ante before]

    Rate the above song and post your own.

    6/10. With Bluegrass I'm totally out of my element, but that's a nice song! Here's some melodic metal from Finland, courtesy of Insomnium. My favourite song of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRYQQyYs2Zk

    Torment: Tides of Numenera Screenshot, FO3 DLC sale

    I hear you. I didn't finish FO3 either. In fact, I dumped the game into the garbage bin after going past the halfway point. It was a huge disappointment, such an affront that I couldn't stand the game lingering any longer in my apartment. I was also dismayed at the plot right from the start. One...

    More tidbits on WL2 and Torment, Mark Morgan editorial

    I've also listened to Morgan's music outside of the game. Fallout 1 tracks, Torment and VTM Bloodlines music (most of it made by Rik Schaffer) are still in my rotation. They work especially well when you're by yourself and wandering in the woods. The Glow track makes your imagination churn and...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I concur with this statement. I tried the online game and during the first session I reached level 15 with an engineer. And I've never played with an engineer before. I've mostly played with Adepts and I've relied on pausing the game, assessing the situation and using a power. Meticulous...

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    It seems so. Several rumblings indicate that they gained 140k from Paypal. In terms of Wasteland 2, that game is based on Brian Fargo's vision. The setting is already there and they have to hone it to perfection. Whereas PE is based on an entirely new setting. I wonder if they will rely on...

    Wasteland 2 Update: new music sample and dialog info

    Awesome track! The guitar samples made me think of Redding in F2. Overall, it was ominous and oppressing and that made me think of Sierra Army Depot and it's robots. Without careful tactics, they would decimate you at the drop of a hat. So far, I'm giddy. The last time I was this pumped was...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Dude, you must have 10 Luck if you managed to keep New Vegas working with mods. I logged 250 hours with it until it refused to work anymore. The game would just crash after choosing Play from the launcher. Back then I was using a slew of mods right from the start and suddenly the game ceased...

    Post images of your character

    The character of my second playthrough. Asuka the Unarmed Fighter, inspired by her namesake in Tekken 6. Beholding the view atop Guardian Peak: I completed numerous quests for the NCR to gain xp. Since then I've been murdering them, but there's still a lot more killing to do until...

    Worst glitch ever (or are there more?)

    There are. The absolultely the worst glitch I encountered today. ED-E's quest's second message triggered. Knight Lorenzo was talking to me through ED-E. Towards the end of the message, his voice altered to something else. After the message, my character was stuck. I could get into sneak mode or...
