Im usually a sucker for anything Space Hulk related, but after the only "average" Space Hulk FPS game, when compared with the awesome Vermintide for example, or even L4D, I think Ill pass on this at least unless I hear some great word of mouth.

Oh thank god n00bs for the Ace of Spades grind.

I was thinking the same thing. This quest step is driving me insane. When I play Gambit normally, it's a lot of fun, but constantly trying to finish my HC kills is ruining the enjoyment. I can't wait til I can finally finish it.

Editors to create maps used to be standard. Now a map is a reward? And people give these assholes money why?

Funny how Republicans are all about states' rights until it affects how their corporate sponsors can ream voters and profit off of them.

When you read the actual interview (from Mike Ryan, who I kind of love), it doesn't come across as it does here. He's talking more grandly, that this is the best way to experience a film. It doesn't read like "you're doing it wrong" but "when we make movies, this is the experience we have in mind."

Mike's interviews are always very informal and go all over the place - people often complain his interviews are more about him than the subject, but he can get people to say some interesting things. They come across very much as conversations.

Also, Shame was an amazing film.

I am not sure if they would be making all kinds of money on the PC port.
I am not a programmer but I can imagine porting the game to the PC would probably require it to be re-worked a bit so it looks acceptable on the PC.

The game would probably be Win10/windows store exclusive or something stupid like that, so 90% of pc gamers would just boycott it or pirate it anyways.
At this point if I really wanted to play Halo, I'd just get a dirt cheap copy of it on the console.

I finished TR 2013 and ROTTR, but both were a bit of a slog. I'd much rather the emphasis on the games be on exploration and cave traversing, rather than combat. Have firefights be uncommon but deadly, and give Lara a single weapon and her pick axe. As the games are now, they're a mix of violence and exploration but the violence is emphasized, and I feel like it doesn't really need to be there. They're technically very good games, I just ended up finding them kind of boring. Definitely going to skip this entry in the series.

FDEV should have understood that people outfitting their ships for exploration would be royally pissed over having to deal with Thargoids... my guess is most of the ships probably weren't outfitted with any weapons and/or shieldless. Maybe FDEV is just trying to reinforce the "Dangerous" part these days.

Played at release for a while and really enjoyed it. Came back a few months later and it looked like a tablet had taken a shit all over the screen. Click this, click that, get a daily whatever! What a mess. Think I stuck around for about 10 minutes and haven't been back. I'm going to miss my bunny.

Eat a fucking dick, all you imbeciles who still deny climate change.

C'mon now, we're not 100% exactly what will happen, so we may as well keep burning coal. Just like I'm going to keep eating bacon, pizza, and ice cream daily because my doctor can't tell me with 100% certainty I'll have a heart attack.

That being said, there's reason to hope: the US now gets 18% of its power from renewables, and it grows every year. States like Hawaii and California are already at the 30% mark.

Israel Leads World in Water Recycling

Yeah but the US - mostly southern states - desperately needs to get it's water supply in order. In Israel they recycle 90% of all water. In the US it's 1%. California, Texas, et al. are all running out of fresh water and fast! In fact now Israel is teaching California how to do this.

When people talk about increasing security, I get nervous. We increased security at airports, but it only increased the stress of flying and lowered convenience, and there are still huge juicy targets in airports.

And, ultimately, we have to keep in mind that these types of shootings make up a tiny portion of the gun homicides in the US. Drastically changing our way of life to include metal detectors and security lines everywhere to maybe sometimes address part of 1% of the gun homicides is a bad overreaction.

Turning the US into a giant prison block can't be the solution.

I agree. I go through way too much way too slow airport security, and while I'm sure it's doing something, it's far too invasive.

I keep wondering why we don't see people attacking the security lines themselves. When I'm at the airport in the security line I'm like "Welp, we're sitting ducks." and I'm not even a terrorist. A terrorist, whether it be an Islamic extremist or some incel, would look at that and see a bunch of people lined up for the firing squad.

Which abuse of power? You have to be more specific, as you conspiracy types have given us at least a dozen in the past 18 months, without anyone offering even the slightest bit of evidence. The most recent one from earlier this week came from a Fake News site, as in, a site that actually makes things up rather than even just heavily spinning things.

While you're getting us that specific allegation, with sources, please also revisit this thread and explain to us what the hell you meant, because it appears you don't know what "communism" is, while bleating that you're the only one who does.

who's the lucky guy that gets his medical bill paid?

sorry EA, you're still going to get sued by people at the event, including ones that walked out without a scratch on them but are now psychologically damaged from it.

I doubt they'll win. There's no way any court would agree that EA could reasonably foresee something like this happening. If anything the onus would probably be shifted to the bar for lack of security. And if there was alcohol at that event then there's a potential liability issue with overserving. Shitty as EA is you can't lay this at their feet.

EA will be found to be at some fault. I'd guess less than 20%, but you never know.

But yes, realistically, there's not much they could have done to prevent this. I dont't think that metal detectors are a reasonable solution. But, if people start suing, we'll get metal detectors. Some people love complaining about nanny states and disclaimers in commercials and businesses treating us like toddlers that will break, but all of that is basically due to lawsuits.
