So a person that's played for hundreds of hours is somehow better off than one who only just started? They somehow are able to have more fun?

The visuals in this game are lovely, and should be even better in resolutions above 720p.

You are buttuming here that the port will allow you to play at higher than 720p

Sigh, Cliffski should know better than that...

Has demo?

Why does networkworld absolutely never loads on my computer for some reason? If I go there on my work pc, works fine.

I hope this will be the PS3 one and not the abomination that came out after on the PSP. And what about the port quality? Should I raise my expectations to neutral on this one, maybe?

So a doctor that went to West Africa to treat Ebola with the Doctors without Borders organization came back to New York a few weeks ago. He was "self monitoring", whatever the heck that is supposed to mean. He got tested positive for Ebola yesterday, but the day before he went bowling with his buddies and took public transport.

Now before anyone panics it should be repeated that Ebola does not transfer very easily from casual contact, especially while the patient is asymptomatic, but this still screams "wtf?!"

That nurse that flew on an airplane after treating an Ebola patient is one thing, you can blame it on poor education and training. But this guy, a doctor, who was treating people with Ebola, does shit like that? Just wtf was he thinking? WHY didn't he isolate himself until his incubation period had passed?

If people that should know full well about this don't do it, what chances are there that the general public will if this disease starts spreading? Shouldn't some organizations with authority have enforced quarantine on people that had been exposed to Ebola by now?

So how is this compared to Arma2? Arma2 was unplayable with bots. The single player campaign was a joke how unplayable it was. Is it the same problem with Arma3?

Why not just play UT3 then? There's still even an active instagib CTF server still active.

These aren't the little toy lasers you get at the counters of any shop. These are very powerful lasers sold by specialist shops or ordered online. They come with manuals and warnings on the box. Yes, the feds can do better and order companies that they must put even bigger, redder, angrier warnings on the box about the consequences of such actions, but there will still be people that ignore all that and don't even give it a second glance, so that kind of "education" can only go so far.

Thus why they went with a different kind of "education" - make a very public example of someone, and they did. That guy getting 14 years was in pretty much every newspaper (it was even in a local paper up here in Canada).

Is 14 years excessive? Not much harm was done in that case, but what if it had caused the helicopter to crash? The pilot, the sick kid, and any other passengers would have likely died. When you think about it that way, 14 years for an action that could have caused the death of people isn't any harsher than you'd get for an attempted murder, is it? Even more lenient, actually.

For a moment there I thought they were making a Regicide game from the WH40K world, which is like chess.

Then I realized it's another WH40K game given to unknown devs to screw and have their way with. Thanks, Games Workshop! We love you too!

Does anyone know if they changed their mind yet and will make dedicated servers possible?

More proof that the traditional business way of making games is still well and kicking.

Has anyone ever played this before? This kind of game is right up my alley, but strangely I have never heard of it before.

What part was just a dream in Cowby Bebop?

Apart from that leftover lobster in the space fridge thing. THAT should have been just a dream...

along with a nifty 'pay it forward' feature whereas a player can invest credits into future games.

Apparently someone doesn't know the meaning of the word "whereas".

Wow, that is too many to try all at once...

But I must say I do like the increased occurrence of these free weekend games on steam.

I'm not afraid that Ebola is going to go crazy and kill half the humans on the planet (although there is always the chance that it might mutate and become airborne... it did once in some lab back in 1980 or something, and although it also at the same time became entirely harmless, there's no saying next time it would as well).

What I'm afraid of is that it's going to take a minor crisis where a lot of people get hurt or die unnecessarily before the world governments take proper action to isolate and get rid of all human ebola infections once and for all. And although that's par for the course for most things, I still hate it to see needless loss of life and suffering when all of this can be done now instead.

re: Chemical weapons.

Wait, mustard gas? What? Wasn't that something banned way back during WWI? But supposedly German companies built a factory to manufacture it in Iraq, and some US companies supplied one of the ingredients? What the heck?

So what I was trying to say, is that the second nurse that treated that patient in Dallas and was diagnosed with Ebola later themselves, apparently took a plane to Cleveland and then back.

Like WTF???? You've JUST treated a patient with Ebola! Your incubation period wasn't even over yet! Where did this nurse get their education from, and why haven't they been properly trained? Exactly what kind of hospitals do they have there in 'murica?
