GTA VC > GTA III > GTA IV for soundtrack. GTA IV has a few classics but it just doesn't immerse me as much as the others do- probably because it's all nondescript modern hits that I could hear by turning on my own radio.

KOTOR and KOTOR2, movie sounds that they borrowed aside (used about three times in the entire game), had a very very evocative sound track in my opinion.

It also depends on the height dropped m8s. I'm a bit fuzzy on all this but I think if you drop them from the 11th floor of your standard high rise building it will die, but any other floors it will either come out unscathed or just be wounded/mortally wounded. Only from the 11th floor do you achieve instant death on impact.

Yeah I saw it on some weird ABC tv show ages back. Can't remember specifics now but it's all about relative height and how relaxed the cat is at the time of impact.
It seemed a novel concept at the time... I mean my cat is so heavy that I reckon itd just leave like a cat shaped hole in the road where it hit, a la Loony Tunes
I probably would tell myself not to take school SO seriously seeing as I've found that it doesnt matter whether I had a girlfriend or not, I would still do fine (hey come on, five years ago I was 14!)
I can't help but notice that NO ONE uses the Internode servers except to play IO or maybe wake. And I'm quite happy that the most played servers on GA are now All Maps and Dalian Plant. How the game was meant to be played.

It has a wide selection of weapons which all sound very meaty, the character customisation isn't THAT throrough (you can't go and create a suit wielding businessman or something), but it's pretty extensive and you can create pretty much any military character from any media - I made SG1!

It's a stupid question that doesn't take into account the funadmental difference between being in the majority in society and in a minority:
Us whites are the majority. To exclude races who are in the vast majority is a completely different concept to a culture wanting to highlight some of their own achievements, or have a charity targetted at them.
While generally, yes X only charities and scholarships are racist, you have to understand the fundamental difference between someone from a group in the majority seeking to eliminate marginalised cultures, and someone from a marginalised culture seeking to promote their own interests/have a charity/whatever.

Well then your problem is semantic isn't it? 'African American' is the term given to black residents of the US who have ancestry that can be traced to African countries, although in fairness it's really evolved more into a catch all term for people with black skin.lowing wrote:

And it's funny that you should object to 'African American' (in honesty I always got told to just call all you guys 'American', but if I had to describe a black person use 'black American') when so many of your fellow countrymen take pride in their heritage as Italian/Asian/Polish/Irish/Latino American. Which we have here as well - I know for a fact that we have Italian clubs, Vietnamese Catholic clubs, Greek Orthodox Church meetings, Portugese clubs, etc etc.
Anyway, we're drifting away from the point. Western countries have Women's interest magazines, Men's magazines, magazines targetted at the elderly, shows targetted at women, television channels for non English speakers (hell my grandparents get RAI - the something Australian Italian channel) - I suppose a web browser targetted at black people was just one division too far for you huh?

This is true, especially in Australia where the comparative price of games is ridiculous. The argument falls down even further when you consider that some games are definately worth the money being asked, whereas some are worth no where near it. Generally new releases are all the same price regardless of quality, and that to me muddies the water. It's like charging the same for a Big Mac as for a meal at an expensive restaurant.TheAussieReaper wrote:

Looking at my xfire list of about 60 odd games the highest ranking one that I've downloaded comes in at 21st.
In honesty a lot of it comes down to PURE greed, people who want to game but pay absolutely nothing for it. But there is an underlying motive that games are too expensive generally that underlies the downloading in my opinion. A hint of civil disobedience if you will.

Also the best strat that has worked for us on the Rooftop finale is to have two people outside calling the chopper, and then two go back inside to the end of the corridor where the saferoom is. Most of the zombies have pissed it down the ladder towards to people at the end of the long corridor the times that we've done this so they get cut through fairly easy. When the tank comes, the poeple outside either run circles around it and kill it, or if it goes inside use one of the molotovs from the saferoom and unload on it as it slowly crouches to get through the vent next to the shaft. Rinse and repeat for the next two waves, and then it's a mad dash to get to chopper. We did it a few days back with no deaths on advanced.
CoD4 SnD was not really all that good in my opinion.
for my money Sab was a much more dynamic and interesting game type that required just as much in game awareness and teamwork but didn't hinge mostly on trying to nade spot the enemy on the first 30 seconds of the round.

General Play
- Crouching makes all weapons, but especially the pistol, more accurate.
- If you're confronted with a horde and run dry, you can melee while reloading/ Seriously, just press the reload key and spam away at melee
- If you've got a horde coming from behind or rushing at you close a door, shoot a hole in it, and blast them through that
Tanks
- Fight them in open areas. If the tank HOMG music starts get to an open area that you've already advanced past (tanks tend to come from the front)
- If the tank knocks someone down and starts wailing on them, get in point blank range behind them with the autoshotgun. Not only will this make them leave alone (ie not perma kill) the incapped person, but it does maxi damage.
- The tank can be easily confused. If it's chasing you, hurl yourself of a ledge that requires you to be pulled up by team mates. In most cases (from personal experience) it gets confused, tries to hit you, and falls off. Works best on the rooftop finale in No Mercy.
Boomer
- If you get vomitted on, the horde will be coming for YOU. Retreat behind your team mates, who the zombies in the horde will run PAST to get to you. This gives them a chance to thin the numbers.

- Rule one. Also, tentacle rape is hot.
Molotovs and Pipebombs
- It is scientifically proven that the best way to help someone being kerbstomped by the horde is to set them alight. "Here, have some fire"

A semi proper one at a uni that my mate goes to. So not just a few mates bringing computers round to play UT2004.
The first half an hour was good (everyone connected their computers to the Network and we all started leaching stuff off eachother). I felt like a kid in a buffet choosing what stuff to grab.

Came back at midnight, faffed about for about 11 hours playing some L4D, sleeping, and watching movies.
The last half hour was awesome. Just asa we were packing our stuff up they started a COD4 match. Seeing this, I commandeered my friend's computer and promised him that I'd come first, broke out the tube (it was fail mode... I mean hardcore), topped the server two rounds in a row. It was about the time that the people sitting about 4 feet from me started a vote kick that my friend went to get the car (in fairness they'd kicked someone the round before for using a G3, so I'm putting it down to them being whiny).

Came back at midnight, faffed about for about 11 hours playing some L4D, sleeping, and watching movies.
The last half hour was awesome. Just asa we were packing our stuff up they started a COD4 match. Seeing this, I commandeered my friend's computer and promised him that I'd come first, broke out the tube (it was fail mode... I mean hardcore), topped the server two rounds in a row. It was about the time that the people sitting about 4 feet from me started a vote kick that my friend went to get the car (in fairness they'd kicked someone the round before for using a G3, so I'm putting it down to them being whiny).
So yeah, my LAN experience was that the first half an hour was awesome, the last half an hour was awesome, but the interceding 16 hours were boring.
