Wisp

I'd say the glitches were worse in mine. Not only did you stop moving, and have no way to do anything, you couldn't access the start menu, meaning you would have to go the xbox dashboard and restart the game, then reload your save. Like dying, only takes longer. Also, I hated with thresher maws how if you were within like 100 feet of them they could headbutt the air and you'd die.

I just beat the original the other day. Here's what I would want out of ME2. -Better handling for the rover (mako?). I would prefer it handled like cars do in other games, where if you tell it to go straight, it will go straight in relation to the front of the car, rather than your view. That made getting out of dead ends and the like rather annoying. -More areas like the citadel. Not like giant space stations, I mean areas where there was commerce, and lots of different areas. Like maybe a home planet for one of the alien species, or have earth actually be a place you can go to. -Different weapon system. I personally got sick of all my guns being named the same, (pretty much), and looking the same. -Better inventory control. When I was turning upgrades to omni-gel, or maybe it was weapons, I forget, it would always bring me to the top of the list after. What I liked to do was to just delete all the lower level things, so this made it take forever to delete any number, since scrolling was so slow. -Less elevators. I understand they were bastardized loading screens, but there were far too many. You shouldn't have to load every time you change what room you're in. -More than four weapon types. Self explanatory. -Less glitches. I got so many glitches on the noveria part, for example when I was fighting the matriarch, if she summoned more people when I was knocked down by a biotics attack, the game would freeze. Also, occasionally I ran into times when I went to talk to someone, and it went into the talking screen, but they had no options on what to say, and it made it so I couldn't do anything, and I had to restart the game.

Landmines are designed to mortally wound, not kill. And a zombie with it's legs blown off is worse than one standing up. It would me much easier to not notice, and we walk pass the disabled zombie, and boom, it bites your leg and you're dead.

Planning static defenses against raiders is near impossible. That's something you can't plan for easily, since raiders are people, and people think. Hell, I'd almost prefer it that we make it easier for raiders to get in rather than have complicated defenses. Why? Because let's say a raider has made some kind of explosive. That's not very hard to do. He sees your 25 foot wall, and since he can't climb up it, like he would with a 8 foot wall, he would instead, blow the wall up. Both situations, he gets through, but in the first situation, after you deal with the raider, you have a giant hole in the wall. The only way to defend against raiders is vigilance.

It's just as outlandish to say you can prove god doesn't exist as it is to say you can prove that he does. I am not saying we can disprove god. We can disprove it no more than we can disprove ghosts, vampires, werewolves, demons, etc. But that doesn't mean I should believe in vampires and ghosts.

Abstinence teaching is just stupid. Whether or not everyone actually has sex as a teenager, a good amount do, regardless of people telling them that they should abstain from it. If they don't know about safety when doing it, it could end badly. I personally haven't had any sex-ed, or people telling be me to be abstinent, but since I don't want to have a kid while I'm in highschool, I've made sure I know all that is necessary to avoid std's, etc. But abstinence teaching should become a thing of the past. It might stop a few kids from having sex, but the majority won't care about what some teacher they probably hate told them. Teaching them how to be safe is the right thing to do.

Well, I rarely use the dashboard, I just put in a cd and go. So I don't really care.

"Post must be inane, and not significantly contribute." the question was relevant, and definitely not inane. Also, Was there a need to spam this thread? He had a legit question (although please don't talk about the ban thing). As far as I know it somewhat sells, but he is no longer showing how much he is making. Anways, I guess he just stopped paying the fee for it. I'm sure there would be some way to contact him if you really wanted the album.

They don't even *need* to feed, they just do. In other words, they could not eat for 5 years and be fine until they rotted. They do have touch receptors, so if you shot one, it would notice, but it wouldn't feel pain. Infection would spread exponentially, I imagine. First people get bitten, and a small area is infected, and it spreads in two ways: zombies moving to new areas, and infected people (after being bitten it takes 24 hours to turn) going to different places. Like a buisness man is bitten at 7am, but doesn't know about zombies yet, he needs to catch his flight to new york, so he can't worry about the crazy person who bit him. He flies to ny, turns the next morning, and infects people there. It would spread very slowly at first, then once there was a sizable amount of zombies, too much for local law enforcment to control, it would spread rapidly, then slow down when, either: There are no more people to infect, or when people start defending themselves actively. People will still be infected, but later on. I would say, unless the army responded early on, it would take a few months to half a year for the virus to infect the majority of a country.

Zombie bites kill normal animals, along with animals that try to bite zombies (dogs, crocodiles, the occasional shark I'm sure). Zombies can be killed by destroying the brain. That's the only way. Cutting off the head won't kill it, the head will still be alive. The origin of zombies is unknown, but it's like any other sickness. It probably would mutate from some other disease. Zombies will rot away in 5 years, give or take, depending on your region. Fighting zombies is stupid unless you have a specific, small area you're clearing, unless you have an army.

I don't think we should assume anything about zombies, just prepare for the worst. We're preparing for romero/brooks zombies. That clarification allows us to plan, otherwise we should take into account that they might be able to fly, teleport, and will all be made out of titanium.

They don't know where humans are always, but they will wander till they pick up a scent of humans/animals, see one, hear one etc.

Ok. Seriously guys, no wall would keep a raider out. Unless it was literally atleast 50 feet tall, a raider could get up. Ever hear of ladders, ropes, grappling hooks, or even just teamwork amongst the raiders to help eachother up? I can climb up a ten foot wall on my own, even if it's just concrete, but if our walls were wood there would be so many parts that would make it easy to climb. People, a wall is a luxury, not a necessity. If you go somewhere obscure, well out of human civilization, you could barbed wire. It wouldn't keep many out, but it would catch up zombies, and you wouldn't be dealing with more than a few at a time, if any at all. It would take weeks for hundreds of people to build a wall the size some of you are suggesting, if they had the right equipment. We won't have hundreds of cement trucks and all. A cement wall, unless it's already built, is pretty much impossible.

Science isn't an entity. It's millions of people studying various things, so of course people are going to contradict eachother. Of course things change. Someone, through observation and study creates a theory, the theory is tested, and let's say it's proven true. But later, something previously unknown is discovered that makes the theory inaccurate, so of course it changes. But the basis of various sciences rarely change. It's not like newtons laws etc. are being disproved on a regular basis. Religion, and yes, I'm grouping it together because if it's the same basic idea for pretty much every religion, doesn't change (atleast not often). Does that mean we should follow what some book says? Lord of the Rings has a hell of a lot less contradictions than christian scripture, and it's stayed the same since it's been written, does that mean I should be preparing myself for the final battle against sauron? No. How can you say something exists, simply because a book says so. What if you were born in a different part of the world, for example into... A Muslim family in Qatar. You would be taught about that from an early age, and grow up believing in it. You wouldn't even consider believing in Christianity, it would be against God's will (Christianity and Islam actually have the same god, but different beliefs, but that's beside the point). You only believe in what religion you do because of where you live, and what family you're from. Atheism is different, in that it's the belief that there is no god, and it instead relies on something can legitimately be prove; science. Here's a challenge to any theists. Prove your religion is any more valid than another religion.

Left for dead zombies can also grab you from over 50 feet with their tongue, jump 25 feet in the air, attract others with vomit, and grab hunks of concrete from the ground no matter what the terrain is. Well, some of them can. But those aren't zombie, they're infected. And from the guide, 1/3 (or something) of zombies could climb a ladder. But not a wall.

Zombies could climb over a 5 foot wall. I would say an 8-12'foot wall would be sufficient. We're talking about stacking, but the zombies don't stack and pile up intentionally, they just try to climb up onto eachother. Regardless of what the zombie guide says, stacking is not very plausible. Here's an example. I was at a concert a few weeks ago, and the singer threw a marching-band drum into the crowd, and stood up on top of it in the crowd. He was falling down constantly, and people were trying to help him stay up. Zombies would not even notice people were climbing on them, and the ones on top would fall down almost immediately, especially with the zombies on the bottom constantly moving to get closer to the wall. It's just not plausible for zombies to "stack" except for in very, very rare cases. 15 foot wall. Someone suggested 10 foot thick. That's ridiculous. To have 1 foot in length of that wall, you'd need 150 cubic feet of cement. To surround an 100x100' area, you'd need 60,000 cubic feet of cement. I think, I'm exhausted and my math might be off. If you had that built before zombies came, that would cost you a minimum of 1.5 million, minus labor costs. Let's say the wall was 1 foot thick, that would still be 150 grand. And that's only for a 100*100 square area. That's not enough space to grow food to feed even a single person. In an ideal situation, we would have a 20 foot tall wall (raider protection etc), 20 foot thick, covering a 20 square mile area. Then, a giant citadel in the center, with farmland surrounding it. But we're not going to have an ideal situation. Also, a chainlink fence is safer than you might think. The real danger is the weight of the zombies uprooting the fence. But with diligent defense, that would not be an issue if there wasn't an enormous horde, and we had enough ammunition. Hell, with spears, we could stab through a chainlink fence. That's actually a good idea now that I think of it. Get some spears, sharpened metal poles, or whatever, and stab through the fence. That would be an easy way to control them. But yeah, reasonably, you're gonna have to use what you have, where you are. Traveling across the country/world during the apocalypse is illogical. Here's my advice: Think of a easily defensible place in your area, and make a plan off of that. Or find a really out of the way wilderness area that you can get to, that would be able to support you.

Yup. It's a lamprey. Those evil bastards are all over my area, in the lake.

So is the game night thing in like 10 minutes? Nadril, I added you since I saw you online in the tip.it group. I don't know anyone else's names

On the topic of bands interacting with their fans, I love when they're really exceptional about that. I went to a show a bit ago with a friend, and the band gave us backstage passes for little reason, which was a amazing. The funniest crowd interaction bit I've seen though was at a buckethead concert, he started throwing star wars toys and other stuff into the audience from a basket he had.

Pretty much any of the classes can play "creatively". I spent two hours the other day rushing with an engineer, in an attempt to sneak by them all and put a teleporter exit on their end of the level. After I did, I just continually came back and shot them with a shotgun. It's really a wtf moment for a sniper when you're killed by an engineer from behind. I'm getting better as demo too, which is nice.

lol @ "famous no-scoper" Oh, I take it you're better then? I just find the whole idea that someone who just runs around shooting from the hip and hoping to actually hit someone can be famous laughable. And I'm not sure where you saw that I said I was better than him. There actually wasn't even an "I" in that original post :-k Try that. Thats a lot more quick Snipes than no scopes. And in all honesty I dont find something mainly based on luck that impressive at all. To me no scope is just dull and boring whilst being fun in small private "no scope" games. You don't really understand how no-scoping works do you?

Take the easy way, Get a friend in Co-op and have him play it on casual. It is 10x easier since the Locust for him have casual health and casual damage. I would help but my X-box is getting repaired for E-74 error... Difficulty only changes your own health, not the enemies. Wouldn't changing your health be the same as changing the damage they deal? If everything does double, that's the same as having half health I would think. I think higher difficulty enemies have better accuracy, and damage.

There's about the dozen mods that let you buy the tenpenny tower house if you decide to not blow up megaton. Only for pc, of course, but it's nice if you're being good, but still want a nice apartment.

Well, I took this screenshot today. When you see it, brix, etc. [hide=] The story behind it's actually kinda funny. I was sniping, a spy snuck up on me, headshotted me once, then right before he could do it again and kill me, the server crashed.[/hide]

People who don't understand the first amendment. That annoys me. Let's say you cuss out your boss, and they fire you? Freedom of speech right? No. The 1st only protects you from the government. In other words, they won't punish you if you speak out against them.
