Of course not. But then again, Duke and Sam don't have down the sights aiming, so that's alright. But I mean that I'd rather have aiming down the sights than regenerating health.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Aiming down the sights works for types of games that are actually making gestures towards realism. For a Duke or Serious Sam game? Naw...
Aiming down gun sights is the one recent development in gaming I actually DO like. Because that is the way you fire a weapon if you want to hit something. You aim down the damn sights.
As for all the other stuff, I agree with the article completely.

The concept of open carry fascinates me.. do people actually walk around with guns swinging on their hips?
No, you're not getting this. We're not talking about having arms, we're talking about the right to bear arms:mtb0minime wrote:
I don't understand why anyone without arms would want to pick a fight with someone who did have arms. I mean, how could they steal your shit if they couldn't even carry it? And if you trip them, they're done for!
1) Have and not need, rather than... this saying does not always apply, such as in instances where "having" an item has significant downsides. Aside from that, if you follow that logic you'd need to carry pretty much everything with you (fire extinguishers, first aid kits, surgical knife, kevlar vest, etc etc.)DBBrinson1 wrote:

Pistols aren't dangerous, the dumb ass using it is.
Cup holder is on the right side, I'm right handed. A gun does you fuck all good if you can't easily access it.
2) Pistols are dangerous. One needs to be an expert to handle them safely, and even then, accidents can happen. If an object is dangerous in the hands of the average person, I call that object dangerous. I do not trust the average person to handle a pistol safely. A rifle is, while much deadlier, also a lot less dangerous.
3) So you drive around with your first aid kit sitting open on the dash and your fire extinguisher between your legs?
1) Why wouldn't you drive off? What could you possibly gain by confronting the punk trying to steal your car? Do you intend to counter-rob him? Or make a citizen's arrest, perhaps? He'd just run away.jord wrote:

Would be an appropriate example of when to have easy access to a pistol.
2) The assailant is armed, in which case you pull out your gun and he shoots you because he already had his gun ready.
2 is a case by case basis, perhaps he's only got an imitation firearm, perhaps he hasn't made ready, perhaps he hasn't taken care of his firearm, perhaps he doesn't really have it in him to actually shoot someone, perhaps perhaps perhaps. We can do a thousand hypotheticals but at the end of the day there's no negatives to legally carrying a pistol and many possible positives.
2) The negative is obviously that if he could panic and shoot you if you pull out a firearm. Also: accidents. Every person on here will claim to be an expert and that they are always safe blabla. I know for a fact, however, that pistols especially are dangerous and many accidents happen with them.
Edit:
I just wanted to make clear that I am not a hippie or anything. I'm in the military and am intimately familiar with firearms, but it just seems wildly inappropriate to me to drive around with a loaded pistol wedged between the seats or stuck in the cup holder for easy reach. I put my cups in my cup holder. Maybe it's just because I'm a European that I think this level of preparedness is exaggerated. Maybe if I'd live in the US I'd do the same thing, but just thinking about what I know over here it just seems ridiculous to drive around with a pistol on your lap or in the cup holder.
My comment on the safety of pistols is based on experiences in the military, mostly with Glocks, which are, IMHO, accidents waiting to happen.

Jeez, lots of gun talk here. All you armed drivers out there, do you really intend to shoot while driving or is it more for the situation that someone walks up to your window or something? I find it hard to imagine a scenario in which it is useful to have your pistol accesible like that. Even police officers don't wedge their pistols into the cup holders for easy reach.

I think the zombie apocalypse speaks to the imagination because it allows for one to think about what they'd do. It creates a situation in which every-day people get to shoot guns and be heroes. Unlike civil war or some other kind of catastrophe, there are no moral repercussions in killing zombies. It is also semi-realistic in the sense that a virus like rabies could potentially someday give a somewhat 28-days later 'infected' type effect (still very far-fetched, but not outside the realm of possibility.) The zombie apocalypse-setting, in the end, is a setting in which people can see themselves and identify with the protagonists.

Fucking Goddamnit. Not this shit again.

I have never cheated. I hope I never will. In my view, it is a terrible thing to do. I'd never want to do that to my girl, no matter what. Even if our relationship falls apart in the future, I would not cheat on her. I have never cheated on past girlfriends either, not even a kiss.
The Multipla is definitely my all time ugliest production car, collowed by that thing Eleven Brovo just posted.
Morning sex... 5/10. It was okay but I was kinda thinking about work instead and I was still kinda sleepy so I dunno. I guess I wasn't really in the mood. Sometimes you just have other things on your mind. (Yes I am a man.)
Wow. It really reminds me of Fahrenheit aka Indigo Prophecy. However, on first look it seems boring and frustrating, and the voice acting is pretty shit, especially for a game like this which depends so much on dialogue.
I played the demo and it sucks. I guess I'll just play AVP2 again.
8/10
With the girlfriend whom I have deep feelings for, which makes it better to start with. Plus finishing together, which I've never experienced with another girl. I'm happy with it.

At the end of the movie I realized how badly the writer messed up. It should have been the guy she cheated on, the businessman, who read her the story and wasted his life.

When your girlfriend recommends you watch a romcom, you shut up and watch it. Then lie through your teeth about how great it was and how it really moved you.
Instead you said it sucks and got put in the dog house. GG

So. My girlfriend recently watched The Notebook and absolutely loved it. She told me to watch it. I watched it and thought it was disgusting. We had a pretty huge fight over it, but that's not the point.
Has anyone here seen the film and what is your opinion on how it portrays romance and "true love"?
I personally hate it because it paints a completely unrealistic and unfair picture of men. If women believe that real love should be like this all men are screwed. The film basically teaches women that it is okay to cheat on your fiancée (who isn't even a wifebeater or anything but a really great guy) and bone your ex-summer love boyfriend who you only dated for a couple of weeks and has somehow become "the one".
EDIT: this guy pretty much says it all IMO:

Very rarely can you salvage a tough situation (even if you wanted to) without just dying and respawning, and that takes away any concern about dying at all.

Captain's Log Supplemental:
I've lost 35,000 Redshirts today trying to take out a Klingon fleet in a skirmish alongside silent, uncoordinated Federation partners. Expressing my concerns to Starfleet, they promptly told me not to worry about it: other Starship captains have lost billions of crew members. Keeping in mind that some of said captains are my superior officers, I shall be submitting an application and my resume to the Borg Collective on the morrow.
Doom 3 is nothing to be nostalgic about, IMO.

Well. This beta is bad publicity.
I don't like MMO's in general and I really strongly dislike paying a monthly fee, but I was actually considering to make Star Trek Online my first MMO subscription. The beta ensured that I don't. The away-team missions are horrible. The ground combat system is so clunky it hurts. The ship combat is fun but the missions are boring. Also, I'd rather fight one or two strong opponents than entire fleets of weak ones.

Just out of curiousity, just how much interest does your bank pay you over your money?
I don't know what would happen. I think every country would react differently. In general, we're not as scared of terrorists as a particular other country, and generally, rubber gloves aren't used.Dilbert_X wrote:
I think a foreigner found in Europe with a fake ID is likely to get the rubber glove treatment.
Because, and this is the trick: borrowing money costs money. By using someone else's moneyyou create a debt, and a debt that you also pay interest over. That is why. I'm so depressed about the fact that I even had to explain this.DrunkFace wrote:

I saved the council's asses. Man that game was so fucking epic.
This is a fucking horrible idea. There is no time when using a PC while driving is safe. Not even in a traffic jam. I mess around with my navigation system sometimes while driving, but I am aware that it is very dangerous.
Please believe Ghetto and Menzo. ID policy has become much, much stricter.
I honestly don't know. I guess it depends on the toilet, the size of the seat, and the room I have to manoeuvre.
