He also hired a big arse crane!

I wonder who exactly is responsible for turning this potentially amazing game into the shit fest it is now. Sure there are a lot of problems that are simply bugs which patches can fix, but the biggest issues come directly from down right idiotic decisions in the game design that do nothing but drastically limit it.

So was it the Maxis game designers themselves that thought forcing unwanted multiplayer with tiny cites was a great idea (possibly after being in some accident that caused permanent brain damage), or was that EA muscling in with their head up their arse?

Best show ever period! learn new stuff while laughing your arse off

Cheery little ditty [and kick arse!]

lyrics

Bugger The Bankers 

When I was a lass I was proud of my class, like my father and mother before me
They taught me to fight for my civil rights, but it’s always the same old story – 
The rich reign supreme while the poor can but dream under Labour or Liberal or Tory 
And I say -
Bugger the bankers and politicians, bugger the bureaucrats too 
Bugger the buggers who make up the rules
And if you're one of them - bugger you
And if you're one of them - bugger you 

The system is bent and the money’s all spent, we’re badgered from every direction
The workers get taxed while the wealthy relax with nary a moment’s reflection
Where there’s brass, there’s muck and they don’t give an arse 
‘Cos we’re programmed against insurrection
And I say -
Bugger the bankers and politicians, bugger the bureaucrats too 
Bugger the buggers who make up the rules
And if you're one of them - bugger you
And if you're one of them - bugger you 

DANCE BREAK 

Now all you good people with passion to vent, don’t give up the struggle for justice 
But I’ve done my time on the protesters’ line and these days I show my dissent
By loitering within my tent
And I say -
Bugger the bankers and politicians, bugger the bureaucrats too 
Bugger the buggers who make up the rules
And if you're one of them - bugger you
And if you're one of them - bugger you, oh 

Bugger the bankers and politicians, bugger the bureaucrats too 
Bugger the buggers who make up the rules
And if you're one of them - bugger you
And if you're one of them - bugger you 
And if you're one of them - bugger you

So do I with my 20" Sharp CRT TV from January 1996 and VCR from my dotcom days. Both are still kicking arse as of Thursday night.

Yeah, there's a lot of these at club fields in NZ. They're a pain in the arse, but nowhere near as scary as a nutcracker rope tow.

I'm loving it too, although it does have a few problems.

First, it's ridiculously easy. I'm playing on hard and I've ended up playing metagames to keep the challenge (i.e. no guns for clearing bases, knife and arrows only).

Second, the UI is awful. Crafting syringes is a pain in the arse. Everytime you craft a syringe you don't have equipped it asks you if you want to assign it a slot. Also once you've crafted all the holsters etc, you're probably carrying around half a rucksack of useless animal hides and good luck trying to sell them easily (double click on animal hide, confirm, repeat ad nauseam).

Finally, even though they've implemented looting there's no real reward for it. You end up with a few trinkets, and about $10 or so each time (while you've got about 10 grand in your wallet and nothing to spend it on, because you own all the guns).

But these are nit-picks. It's great fun, there are some memorable characters ("watch out for Vaas, he'll enslave your arse!") and the environment is just stunning.

Although I will say it's turned me into an ecological disaster. I was swimming out to an island and I say a manta ray. Did I stop to admire this majestic animal?

Hell no, I knifed that beastie to death in case I could get me a manta ray hat or something.

Then I was eaten by a shark. There's a lesson in there somewhere....

Or squared arse like mine!

That was hilarious... but goddamn peta are such twats. Do they know how much they look like super retards? But I guess we should thank them for the hilarity of vidoes like this.
Also, how come the creators of Cooking Mama haven't sued their arses?


Have you seen their "pokemon" game? it's literally pikachu attacking every person he comes across trying to escape.

Because, you know, Pokemon get treated so very badly on the show.

Peta really is just a bunch of retards.

Oh I'm quite sure there's money to be made in PC games, but I guess Microsoft still thinks they can move more Xboxes with Halo as an exclusive, although I suspect that anyone who really wants to play Halo that badly already owns one by now. Or maybe they're just still mad that the same marketing strategy doesn't work as well with operating systems and that the majority of PC users called Microsoft on their bullshit.

It's a shame that Microsoft decided to stop bringing Halo to the PC after Halo 2, sure, it wasn't the greatest game series ever made but I still would not mind playing it anyhow.

No money in the PC game for them. You can't charge for map packs, Spartan Ops, skins etc.



I really think it's more about the DLC issue and secondly assuring the Xbox has at least one killer exclusive game.

They will push to sell way more DLC with Halo 4. Spartan Ops will be chargeable once it beds in.
I'm not sure that Microsoft gives a rats arse about PC gaming. They interest lies in owning the living room.
