Nah, I still go for headshots, with all weapons except the Fat Man and Tesla-Beaton Prototype, the difference is that against scorpions and the like, the 12.7mm SMG causes massive damage fast, as opposed to a 9mm or 10mm pistol which would just have the shells harmlessly bouncing off their exoskeleton. Also Cazdores those [bleep]ers. you can't get a clean hit on them with a semi- unless you want to spam V.A.T.S. The YCS/186 however, I only go for headshots because it looks funny with flying, headless corpses. As it doesn't really matter on the damage output when you use a weapons with 230 damage per shot.

Yeah, because why would you use the Fat Man or the Tesla-Beaton prototype when you can use a grenade? And what sort of [kitty] wouldn't you be if you used the YCS/186. And how retarded wouldn't you have to be to think the 12.7mm submachinegun comes in handy in a combat situation?

Something tells me you haven't played Fallout, Archi. 2 guns are never enough. You need at least: 1 Sniper/very precise rifle. 1 High-caliber semi-/full automatic. 1 Area of effect weapon. 1 Insane damage weapon. 2 Silenced weapons.

Oh for [bleep]s sake, who released Kyogre? It's like a [bleep]ing monsoon here, and it's falling so hard you'd believe mother nature was out to kill us. I literally would not leave the house now for fear of being beaten to death by the raindrops.

Gotcha. I had the same thing going for me the greater half of this week, though the staying in bed had more to do with me choosing to sleep on the very same couch that I use as my computer chair.

I've seen excess iron before, it made my blood look brown-ish and rusty. And I suspect what may have happened is that is that I just came upon some blood that had been trapped for a while and deoxygenated, as it only had to congregate to about 2 mm in depth before it looked near perfect black. This would make sense since the blood in question came from one of those annoying not-quite-zits which I had on my thigh.

Anyone know what it means when my blood is almost black and about as thick as liquid honey?

Actually 1.5 hours ago my mind was on a repeating collision path with my wall, and since then it's been all over the internet. And my timing was such that I didn't even see Archi's post until I tried to reply to one of yours.

The whole point of such punishment is not to make the child feel bad because they did something wrong, it's to make them feel bad about having done something wrong by making them understand the direct consequences of their actions, if there's no way to do that and the child is not a psychopath, then it just proves that you are wrong in your attempt to punish the child in the first place. In Earth's case, a solution here would be to make him do some chores that he would normally have just enough energy to do.

Actually, temporary confiscation of an object or service is not a fit act of punishment in any event, as it is neither corrective, unomitable or reminiscent of any punishment carried out by society. Taking something away from your kid doesn't teach them why they shouldn't do something, it teaches them that the parent carrying it out is a douchebag (which is true since they chose this form of punishment) and it encourages them to search out ways to circumvent it.

You know you can just tell it to turn those off when you unplug it, right?

I've got no idea about specific laptop series, but in my experience, Acer laptops seem to handle games pretty well. Though I must inquire why it has to be a laptop, and why it has to have longer battery life than gaming laptops, as stationary computers are significantly better, and a laptop's processing power is severely reduced by not being plugged in.

For me it's more if the game is really worth it. In some cases, I've already made up my mind, such as with Pokémon, where I got myself an emulator ROM just to get my hands on it early. Other times I try them out and decide to buy them afterwards, such as with GMod and the Orange Box game pack. Some games I try, but don't buy because they're either (in my opinion) shitty (Fallout 3 (damn thing crashed once every five minutes)) or because they're more addictive than actually enjoyable (Fallout: NV and Skyrim (I have to play in godmode in order not to be pissed the whole time I'm playing them)). And some I pirate and play through once for the challenge, and never touch again because that's all they were, a challenge rather than enjoyable gameplay (BF3). EDIT: Oh, and the last type, the ones where I buy the actual game (AC2) and pirate the follow-ups because they're not worth the money, but I want to complete the story (AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations).

I wasn't talking about the quality of the work there, I was talking in general. The games are usually fine, but it is apparent how little of a shit many of the companies give about their customers, with impractical methods of activation and mediocre customer support, though sometimes you see evidence of how the companies realize they don't need you to enjoy the game any more than that it makes you buy the next one. Note that there are exceptions; after my Hotmail got hacked, it only took about 15 minutes between me asking and Valve resetting my Steam contact email. But yeah, some parts of the gaming industry do take their dishonesty to the extreme, an example of this is Activision, which year after year has released the same games over and over with a minimum of added content, such as with their Call of Duty and Tony Hawk franchises. Or Blizzard with how they're releasing the "extention packs" to WoW, which really just are updates that allow you to progress a little further in the game.

Well, by the way you described it, it seemed like you were using parts of an old install, in which case there would be a possibility of the files being incompatible with eachother, something a reinstall could fix.

Uninstall and reinstall it?

It's an RPG about scientific ideas. On an unrelated note, Meet the Pyro just came out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I&feature=player_detailpage

Strange, must be a bug, since it used to point towards your active spawn.

No, it will point toward whatever is your current spawn, so if you sleep in a bed, it'll point towards that bed.

Better solution is a compass; surround a piece of redstone with iron ingots and you'll have a tool that always points towards your spawn/bed.

I watch it too, but I'm at my cabin, and I refuse to watch it in less than 720p, which would take a hella lot of time to stream or download on the mobile broadband, so I'm waiting until I get home tomorrow.

So you asked people who work with computer software, but how many of them frequently open up and modify or assemble one? And when did I state a gaming computer had to be a midi? I said midis were more suitable, not a requirement.

A desktop is an often lying computer intended to go on top of your desk (hence desk-top) often unsuitable as anything other than office use, a tower could be any sort of standing stationary computer. A midi is the kind most suitable for gaming due to its small size compared to the larger variants, and its high potential compared to smaller variants and desktops. And no, that is not just technical jargon I overheard someone say in an electronics store. That is lingo both used in the IT business and among other computer-competent people such as medium and hardcore gamers. Though it is understandable that you did not recognize it as most of you are casual gamers at best.

A midi as in a midi (medium) tower, the most common shape of stationary computer. If it was intended as an acronym, I'd write it as MIDI, or MIDI since it's such a vague one.

Then save up money, buy a midi, and say it's your computer and she has no control over it.
