For the entirety of January and February, I was trying to convince our tech team who I rarely to never see in person, that one of said machines was broken.
I finally convinced them of this, and got it fixed.
A few days later, it broke again.
While waiting for the equipment to be repaired, the car which was carrying said equipment got hit while parked.
@LessPop_MoreFizz it rewrites itself dynamically in a number of languages so that he can just rewrite itself to a different language milliseconds later you bust him and then he can simply say "nu-uh."
If I channel to make an artificial underground canal or pool, fed by a natural river (and disappearing at the edge of the map), is there a chance small fish (as I understand it, vermin) will populate the canal so that I can fish from it?
What if I let the water run through floor grates or wall ...
All the lists of the ending variations talk about "good control/destroy", "bad control/destroy", but there is never an explanation what this is based on. In the good case, you can see soldiers cheering, in the bad variant, they don't. So what does determine whether by choice results in a 'good' o...
Been playing an Adept all the way to level 20 and I'm having lots of fun. But, when I hit Silver / Gold level, I'm starting to wonder what's the real use of an Adept.

@StrixVaria I own Diamond and Platinum. I haven't really started Plat though because I did CTF farming for my little base in Diamond with some friends back when I actually was in physical proximity to friends who have it. I'm loath to leave my base behind. :(
If Fiddle was the start his ultimate (the period before the teleport) and Blitz or Nautilus used a Q on him, would it cancel Fiddle's ultimate, using the cooldown?
I have not had much Pokemon interest in the past, but I have an extended trip coming up and am looking to give it a try. I've spent my life learning enough about other magical universes, but just never got on the Pokemon train. My concern now is that I am obviously coming into the phenom quite ...
@StrixVaria Also I didn't mean the cute comment to be condescending or anything, in case it came off that way. I just find it refreshing that you're actually positively excited about something.
nope.avi is way way funnier to me, because one time I clicked a link to it (in here, actually) while I was remoted in to my machine while I was at work
Man. I'm done with my Mass Effect binge and I suddenly don't know what to do. I don't want to replay ME3 yet because [redacted]. I guess I can actually do something not ME related now.
I swear, the more Mass Effect 3 reviews I read, the more creeped out I am.
(N.B., I only read reviews that aren't from strictly gaming publications for the most part.)
For example:
> You forget you had wanted to pursue a relationship with Garrus, whose turian face Tom Bissell described in Extra Lives as “a cross between a camel and an artichoke.” You don’t wonder what it would be like to have sex with that shape, to kiss a being with no lips, to play with those hard protrusions on his head. You don’t think about how much it might hurt you. There is sex in Mass Effect 3, but no speculation, only frantic fucking in the face of the galaxy’s end.
> The series of checks and balances needed to prevent some of Shepard’s friends from dying is so arcane, and can go so far back in the series, that we have little choice but to let them go. It’s difficult to “game” Mass Effect 3 for maximum life, as one could its predecessor, because the sensation of decision making is one of reaching blindly into a nest of interdependence that is complex to the point of being meaningless.
> Choice is not even a question in this videogame. It is an operational fact, like choosing to press a button.
> What’s left after the humbling of player choice is an elegiac view of humanity far removed from our portrayal as precocious galactic upstarts in the first Mass Effect. It is considerably more truthful than having sex with a walking artichoke.
I was reading about Lulu (new champion) and saw this:
Wild Growth (Ultimate) - Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking enemies away
from them and granting them a large amount of bonus health. For the
next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.
Then I start wondering: wh...
I've seen multiple meta issues where there's a discussion about a site policy or how to handle certain issues, and answers get marked as accepted. When this lines up with the wildly popular sentiment, it makes sense. But when the accepted answer is not the most popular one, it makes me wonder wha...
Cannibals have the ability to regenerate health by consuming other fallen enemies on the battlefield. Marauders resurrect allies and coat them in scab-like armor plating. While consuming or resurrecting, the synthetic creatures are vulnerable and won't act you.
Is it a valid risk / reward strate...
Is there any addon available some thing like I click on a location on the map and character starts moving to that location (without having to using arrows/move keys)
This feature is there in Talisman Online, every quest is shown as a link and upon clicking on it, client will detect the coordinat...
@agent86 Lucky. While I was watching it I would have said "omfg what's wrong with you not watching Lost" but now that I've seen the "end" you're lucky you never got sucked in.
@StrixVaria yeah, at the time I was preparing to be disappointed by Heroes. I didn't really have time to commit to another great premise with crappy follow-through
@FAE Indeed. Everything up until that elevator (oh, what a shock) was fine. In fact, if everything had just faded to black then, or there was a massive explosion...fair enough. But everything after that was trolling.
@FAE eh, I don't want to spoil people who haven't seen it, but it pretty well aligned with the endings to the last two games, imho. it's a good "stopping point" for the shepard story, which I think needed to end
@StrixVaria this. I pretty well called it at the time though. I told my wife "this is an awesome show, but I just don't know where you go from here." it's kind of a problem with the superhero genre on the whole.
Kill screen alternates between being super insightful and super incredibly dumb so often I just don't know what to make of it.
> Though in the summer of 2010 it held enough cultural capital to earn itself a poorly-researched New York Times trend piece, nobody Ices each other these days, because it's dangerous and stupid and still illegal to publicly consume alcohol. But during the magical summer of 2010—the summer of Four Loko and the World Cup and Twitter—it wasn't. Icing was live-action role-playing for the rest of us, a way for us to pretend to be wizards and shit. Or, y’know, make each other drink Smirnoff Ice.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I disagree with that in the sense that the rushed feeling of desperation was clearly absent from the final moments, since Shepard pretty much just plays along with the options presented. You can argue the choice of options was outside his/her control, but there wasn't any significant attempt to say "Woah, woah, woah...WTF is going on here?"
My shoulder hurts if I use the mouse for more than 30 minutes at a time, that's why I currently only play games with an xbox 360 gamepad.
However, with Diablo 3 I will not be able to do that.
Does anyone know of an alternate input method that has similar precision to a mouse? I've been thinking...
I'm currently playing Fallout 1 once more and decided do not pick up skills which I'm calling as "standard set". Before I was always picking speech + two from small/big/energy weapons. Now I've decided to choice prepared character - Natalia Dubrovhsky. She has Sneak, Steal and Unarmed as tag skil...
As an engineer with overload and incinerate I am looking to find the fastest way to drop an opponent after I remove their defenses. As I only carry one weapon to allow my powers to recharge faster, I find I need an all purpose long/meduim/close range weapon to augment my power usage. Enter the as...

It seems that in this game building houses has only good effects, since they basically provide more taxes income.
In Impression games, however building houses like there was no tomorrow wasn't a great idea because (among other reasons) you had to keep people employed.

The game is built for more aggressive styles of play, so that rather than hide behind crates Shepard can dash from one end of the map to the other while climbing over them, leaping over chasms, doing ninja rolls, and stabbing enemies in the face.
In another change, Shepard can run forever without becoming tired, thus moving perpetually into the action and further away from you. As opposed to getting winded after 5 seconds like in the other game? Which is more plausible for a badass space marine?
I'm hating this review
@LessPopMoreFizz I'm surprised you call this a good review. The guy seems like he stuck the game on Casual Action Mode and just ran through shooting things
@BenBrocka even still, this is a really unfair characterization: The game is nothing but chase and activation, a breathless stutter of emptying clips into demonic glowing heads and slamming down buttons that do important things for the war effort, like powering a comm tower.
Particularly when in the midst of trying to make the point that it's different than ME2
