I drunk three cans of pepsi and half a 2litre bottle of doctor pepper last night so I'm not really feeling any carbonated drinks right now

Battlefront II because parents kicked me off the internet to watch netflix

Dial up would probably be a preferable alternative to the shit I have right now
Who's your provider?

A lot of story flaws are more to do with the expanded lore,specifically for lore nuts.
Also, I bethesda's PS3 ports for their games were generally subpar when compared to the 360 and PC, so you likely encountered a higher-thanaverage number of crashes.
But yeah, all three of the 'modern' Fallout games are in my top ten of all time. I easily have over 1,000 hours in both 3 and Vegas.
Will you play more Fallout 3, then? Sounds like you have a lot of stuff you still want to do in the game.

These guys are gonna be awesome to learn about.
Here's hoping the Knights of Ren are badass.
Hopefully they'll be as badass as Captain Phasma.

I feel like playing skyrim ruined oblivion for me
Because playing oblivion,,evrrything looked off and weird. Probably one of the only times, if not the only time, that the visuals pf a game actively put me off playing. Even weirder because (what little I played of) morrowind was fine for me, though I didn't play it for long because it was at a friend's house.

Yeah gaming laptops are pretty shit, I wouldn't do that. You can build a micro atx computer if space is a serious issue.
Is that portable? As in, I can walk to and from college with that?
Yes mini atx cases are very portable. You wouldn't be able to use it in class or anything but you could probably carry it around pretty easily.
Yeah, I want to get something reasonably powerful for doing graphics stuff in college as well as games, so I'd want something I can use in class. I do plan o getting a desktop when I move out, but it isn't feasible for me right now, sadly.

If you want to play 2010 games at medium settings you can pick up a 360 for peanuts, seeing as the whole mobile aspect of the laptop is negated regardless.
Or just get a decent desktop
Except I can't take a 360 into college, and I don't have space for a desktop.

I still don't see why people dislike this game for anything other than campaign and lacking infection (BTW there is an infection emblem already in game so it is most likely being added). It shpuld have been in on launch. Warzone is fun, fair and does not at all feel competetive unless you get a full team and Arena is exactly what competetive Halo should be. Warzone is very rarely fair; 19/20 games involve one team being curbstomped. The map design is awful, mainly due to how cramped they are for the player count and vehicles, and the grenade spam in the bases is just ridiculous. THe AI involvement is simply pathetic, and I can't understand who thought it was a good idea to make a game mode designed around encouraging spawnkilling. Warzone feels tacked on based on what they had after making arena and forgetting they needed a big team battle mode. Arena is marhinally better because it's obvious the game was designed around it, but the terrible maps offset any advantage that has. On top of that, the supposedly "skill based" matchmaking seems to like placing me with the top-tier players who are way better than me. GG. Idk about other people but I have not felt the need to play the campaign over and over again in any Halo game, so it's not like it is such a bad thing that campaign was lackluster. ...and other people do like playing campaigns? And then there is more content every month for free. I just don't get why people dislike it.
Content which should have been in at launch. Things like forge, custom games and game modes aren't things that count as free content, they are things which are standard in pretty much all Halo games, and should be expected at launch. If I buy something, I expect the full package at launch.

Heck, even one of the creators wants a Fallout game during the Resource Wars. Heck, I'll admit being a conscript/spy being sent off for the invasion of China (with the roleplayer's alternative choice of a beginning, of course) and having to survive the onset of the nuclear war and coming winter over there would be the absolute tightest shit. Dealing with the Loyalist remnants of the Chinese military and some of the remaining soldiers who have begun carving up swathes of territory for their own little city-states, uncovering super secret black ops programs detailing technological developments and weapons programs, fighting monsters even more horrifically mutated than what's in the States because China's kind of a shit hole anyway, etc.
Sign me up.
Plus, you'd be able to keep a lot of elements like deathclaws and power armour, on account of the invasion.

I have sometimes wondered if most leaders having only 4 years in power actually limits what a government can do, as if there's a problem that would take several terms to solve, then whatever steps you do to try and solve it could be just undone or discontinued by the next guy so there's no point starting with some problems. Is this a valid thing to consider?I know jack all about this kind of stuff so I'd be interested in hearing what someone who actually knows something about this thinks.
It does make it less effective. A one term president could have all of his stuff undone by the next president. That's why you see a lot of democracies go an extra year or so with their leaders. Some at least.
Huh. So another advantage of (a specific part of) OPs point, if there wasn't a leader change every few years, a government could actually be more effective? That's interesting.
Yup. Only downside to that is if you or even a majority don't agree with a lifetime leader's decisions, tough shit.
Think how fast policies were created in post-Weimar Republic Germany. Shame it was by Hitler...
This is probably going to sound weird coming from me, but from a government standpoint, Hitler really wasn't all that bad.
Yeah. He pretty much turned germany around from depression to superpower in a fairly short amount of time. It's pretty incredible.
It was short term recovery and relied on resources from other countries, first by trade and then by invading and taking the resources themselves or by slave labour.
In 19 years of Hitler's reign he was running a total war economy despite being in control of all of Western Europe, North Africa and a large chunk of Western Russia.
Wasn't he doing pretty good even before he started invading Czechoslovakia and making concentration camps? It's been a while since I did this topic, so I'm a bit rusty on it.
Well he lowered male unemployment, but did that by not taking into account the Jews that were sacked from the public sector and strongly encouraging women to leave their jobs for men to fill their place.
He created public work programs to cover the rest, but things like the Autobahn and forest clearings were one-time jobs that after completion would leave many jobless with little prospects other than the military.
Sorry OP, waaaay off topic.
Ah, yeah. I'd forgot a lot of stuff like that. Fair enough then.

That's an oxymoron.
The power needed to play modern games will negate the laptops advantage of being mobile. Might as well build a good desktop with that money.
I said I didn't want to play new releases. The most modern game I want to play on PC is skyrim. And I don't have room for a desk right now, let alone a desktop.
