Ah, something along the lines of Breaking Bad? I like where you're going with this. Maybe the character commits a small crime that continues to snowball. |

You've never heard of most journalists, so you shouldn't paint with such a broad stroke. As a former "real" journalist and a current "fake" journalist, I can tell you that your average reporter at a newspaper is just trying to cover their beat to the best of their ability. Where you will find influence peddling is higher up the chain, with "name" journalists or columnists, and even then, you're looking mostly at the national media.
If it helps, think of games journalists as B2B journalists. It's a much more symbiotic relationship than actual newspaper journalism. |

She stood up for herself, asked him to stop, he refused. And now she's going to make sure he's punished for it. Pussy my ass.
I suppose if Stanly Manly were in a similar situation, With a gay male boss, he would do the 'manly' thing and be more submissive towards him, Thank him for the privilege of being allowed to work under him, answer all his intrusive questions, Allow himself to be mocked and teased by an all male gay staff? But to take a stand?...no no no. Why that would make him a pussy! I think Stanly lives the beta (or bottom, if you will) lifestyle in male-male relationships. He just hates uppity people, like women and minorities. Oh, and anyone who uses the legal system to seek recompense when wronged.
That's just how life is lived in man world, son. |

Bats, did it make you a little sick to have to refute a Fox News article? The other guy clearly didn't read the article, or if he did, he wasn't able to read around the propaganda. |

| Just noticed 7.4.1 will go live on the NA server tomorrow. It has the 0-damage penetrating hits fix in it (maybe they'll get it this time!), and a nerf to crew member critical hits. |

When you, as a young boy, are dropped off to visit your uncle, you notice something’s wrong. First, he’s not there to greet you. Second, there’s the explosion that happened right as you arrived. And third, the house seems to be even weirder than you remembered it. Now, your job is to find—and ultimately rescue—your uncle, by using his newest invention, the Interdimensional Shift Device. So I read that, and I was thinking it was going to be a remake of Tass Times in Tonetown. |

If you're playing T3-T7 tanks or TDs, you are there to get blown up, unfortunately. Go for side shots, which is easier said than done.
If any of you guys ever want to platoon up, just hit me up in the game. The name is the same. |

The T44 became a good tank a patch or two ago with the upgraded engine and gun. The reason the T59 was such a terror was that it received favorable weighting in the matchmaker and often was top tank in any match. They adjusted its weighting a patch or two ago, and it's no longer as bad as it was. No T8 tank or above really fears a T59 at this point, but it it will sure mop the floor with any T7 or below.
And I definitely agree that a group of coordinated T8 mediums is hell for the other team.
Zero damage penetrating hits are still a problem, but if you read the forums, you'll see that there was a hotfix on the Russian servers for a newly discovered bug with penetration. I don't know if the US 7.4 patch had the fix in it, but if it didn't, hopefully we'll get it sooner rather than later. Anyone loudly proclaiming there wasn't a problem with 0-damage penetrating hits really needs to hush at this point.
I've also had plenty of ghost rounds. I've always assumed it was packet loss or latency, or the generous tolerances in my Russian cannons... |

Creston wrote on Jun 15, 2012, 13:00: A sci-fi CoD might be interesting. Interesting enough at least for me not to dismiss it off-hand.
However, why would the Tony Hawk developer be capable of delivering a cool FPS?
Creston Treyarch was the Tony Hawk developer of old; and they've been making every other CoD to come out of Activision for quite a few years now. No, Treyarch did ports of the Tony Hawk series. Neversoft was the lead dev on the first seven games. |

SirKnight wrote on Mar 10, 2012, 17:57: What's the deal with that one version of the eagle that has a big muffler on the side, above the rear wheel that looks like it belongs on a sport bike? That's just stupid looking. Plus it already has dual exhausts coming out the rear.
Dude must have been high as fuck when drawing that one. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Wonder what the artist thought that muffler would connect to. Also, in the image before that one, the engine is only showing two exhaust ports from the head (unless they're shared exhaust ports, which would indicate low performance) and they're angled upward. I know it's just concept art, but you'd hope the artist would have some understanding of what an actual engine looks like and the reasons why.
And that last one is basically an armored Alfa Romeo Brera, which isn't a bad thing. Beautiful car in real life.
Edit: Doh, partly Brera, but really the Alfa Romeo SZ, which predated the Brera. |

Well, it is called fantasy.
Thanks guys, very interesting. I can't help but notice parallels with England: tough, honest Northerners; clean, intelligent Southerners; strange foreign types across the English Cha Narrow Seas and of course, a wall with unspeakable terrors beyond it to the north. Not very imaginative, but very well realised.
AGoH also has the best TV series intro sequence I've ever seen, it's just a shame that there's no scale on the map it shows. I've seen multiple people read Game of Thrones as a fictionalized War of the Roses, so you're spot on noticing the England parallels. |
