I know you guys are excited for this game, but I strongly caution you wait a good week before you get it, just to make sure it's not completely broken. I remind you that we're going down the same path of Rome 2 right now, and they made that game look amazing before launch too.
So yeah just... ya know, remain cautiously optimistic. I DOUBT CA would make the same mistake again, but they easily hurt their brand with Rome 2.
Ye Luckily for me I can't get it for a month and a bit after it's out, so if there are any horrible bugs/Rome 2s going on i'll be safe.

The Kellogg bossfight was a nightmare on Survival because he can just one-shot you with his magnum or just continuously spam grenades at you.
The only time I have legitly not felt bad about stealth-boy fatman comboing someone without even talking to them. I shot one over the stairs/computers to get him wright in the benis, then he charged me so i let nick slow him down in the hallway while i aimed the next nuke. Sorry nick but needs must ;-;7 I intend to bring along a similarly cheap tactic for when i fight him this time around.

I've been having a lot more fun in survival but yeah, they could do with a stat reader like FNV HC so you can see how hungry/thirsty you are. I can live without it mind you, and the sleep-saving hasn't been as arduous as I thought it would be.
Just no fast travel... fug I never realised how much I used it until now, hauling my arse back to sanctuary does get a bit tedious at times.

Tip for stealiing from grocery stores: you can legit just walk out of the store with anything under $25 and they won't bother to stop you, and in most stores their employees aren't even allowed to follow you out the door unless they're legit loss prevention guys. Bring a plastic bag and a receipt, and if anyone says anything as you leave, just flash the receipt and say you're in a hurry.
I mean, don't steal, but no minimum wage employee cares if you walk out with stuff to feed yourself.
Not sure how they do things in burgerland but that's just categorically untrue. I've worked in retail for 4 years now and I can tell you that security treats stealing a chocolate bar the same as stealing a TV.
My example is true for any major retail chain in America. Jesus, do your grocers also wear jackboots and brown shirts?
Yep Or maybe that's just waitrose but idk

Off the top of my head it might be to do with genetic attraction syndrome/theory (probably buggered up the name a bit) where people who have a high degree of consanguinity and didn't form the eh i forget the word too (3am posting woo) something like typical inhibitory response (translation: grew up together) are predisposed to being attracted to one another.
Hence the weird stories of people falling in love with someone and finding out they are siblings separated at birth or unknown cousins etc.
It might not apply for this but it's what came to mind after reading the thread title, there was a BBC article/news report on it a bit ago over a court case I think.
If you can read that^ kudos because I sure as shit can't
ayy lmao
wat
My thoughts exactly Kinda why I don't post late at night anymore gg What I think I was trying to say was that there might be a genetic/biological explanation for why you find people resembling your own genetic lineage attractive.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/671539/Brexit-warning-Gibraltar-Rock-MERCY-OF-SPAIN-unless-UK-quits-EUThis is the sort of shit I was quoting, I can't find the previous week's headline pages but this was on their homepage for today. Gibraltar will be at the MERCY of SPAIN unless we leave apparently. but you do get some pretty autistic things coming out of the prime minister's mouth too http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brexit-could-trigger-world-war-7928607''he said: "Can we be so sure peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt? Is that a risk worth taking? "I would never be so rash to make that assumption." I mean it's not quite 'ww3 is coming' but it's the same kind of crap. I can't think of a single media outlet giving decent coverage of the referendum without putting the hysterics on it, even the bloody BBC is getting caught up in it.

I'm curious why so many want to leave. I'm fairly confident the UK citizens will see the light in the end and make the right choice by voting to stay, but I don't get why so many want out. Sure, the EU is sluggish, bureaucratic and takes away some legislative autonomy. It's far from perfect and has numerous flaws. But it also comes with a very large number of benefits for both the people of Europe and the UK. So can someone explain me why they want out so badly?
Have you ever seen the Daily Express/Mail headlines? Off the top of my head for the last week we had 'ANOTHER 900,000 ON THEIR WAY' (migrants) 'NOW THE EU IS WAGING WAR ON OUR KETTLES' (power consumption regulations on household appliances) '£3 BILLION SPENT ON IMMIGRANT CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOLS' (Only skimmed that headline) They've been doing shit like that^ and blowing everything out of all proportion for the last 4-5 years. Alternate headlines include the running gag of 'ALZHEIMERS CURE FINALLY FOUND' (Once per week minimum) and 'ARTHRITIS IS DONE FOR' (To mix things up a little for the old people). They are widely circulated rags so you get a nice fearmongering attitude spread pretty far, they never talk about any of the benefits of the EU either.

Seeing 28 weeks later pouring across the Mediterranean hasn't helped the inclination to remain tbh
As opposed to the alternative of leaving immigration entirely to the weaker and less wealthy border states who would never be able to sustain tens of thousands of refugees and would have to let heaps of them through without any sort of supervision? Not to say that the EU's immigration approach is anywhere near perfect, but do you really think that this would be any better if poorer countries like Greece and Bulgaria were left to their own devices when it came to dealing with hundreds of thousands of refugees swarming their borders?
If the EU didn't help by providing additional funding, installation of border monitoring facilities, increased border patrols, actions against smugglers, relocation of refugees, joint processing of asylum applications, cross-border safety measures (identification and fingerprinting of all migrants) international agreements with nearby countries like Turkey, programs for the return of immigrants to safe countries, projects to monitor immigrants crossing the border, developmental aid in countries from which the refugees originate from or pass through and regulations allowing for the return of immigrants to their original point of entry, those border countries would have buckled within weeks and we'd now have more refugees causing more problems with less information or supervision thereof all across Europe.
I do get that it's doing as good of a job as it can considering the scale of the problem and I don't really fault the EU for the way it's handling it. I think that considering the UK was being a stubborn little bugger for the schengen agreement it's not too bad for us but it's kind of... eh. Refugees are one thing, but when they are coming from countries that are just a bit shit rather than being ripped apart by warfare... eeeh. We (uk) already have enough problems with migrants who refuse to assimilate and our politicians are either wet lettuces or foaming at the mouth when it comes to the matter. My gut says we are better off in and in all likelihood that's what I'll vote for in a month, but the migrant crisis has kind of given it a good kicking <_<

I could watch murikan football, hockey would be mildly entertaining if it gets bloody, basketball would be a drag but survivable. Baseball would be fine.
But bonger football... christ kill me now.
Or better yet, kill my fam.
90 minutes of watching gooners dribble up and down a field is my idea of hell.

Gaunts Ghosts is a good place to start; First and Only will explore one of the listed topics and has some pretty neat stuff in it alongside (Also one of the best 40k novels out there).
What are they about?
If you've ever read Sharpe, think Sharpe in Spehss. It follows Gaunt and his regiment (Gaunt's Ghosts/Tanith 1st -and only-) throughout the Sabbat worlds crusade. It's hard to give one specific 'it's about' because each book tends to be a bit different in terms of what it's doing (with the same style ofc) First and Only - the liberation of a forge world from a chaos insurrection and subsequent discovery of a really big spoiler. Ghostmaker - Starts by looking at and fleshing out the different characters of the regiment with their own mini stories as a part of the overall narrative, then it returns to the present and the prosecution of a campaign to clean up a jungle planet from more chaos types (with some xenos thrown into the mix). Necropolis - Tied with some of the later books for my favourite, this one covers the siege of a hive in such perfect detail that even years after first reading it when I opened the book and looked at the tactical map illustration the names of the places in the hive and the battles fought there hammer home like boolets. ^that covers the first 'arc' which is 'The Founding' and there are a lot more after that but keeping it brief. The other place to start is in the Horus Heresy which... eh it's 35 books and counting now so I can't really condemn another person to that trial BuT if you pick out the 'Mechanicum' novel by Graham McNeil (also wrote the above mechanicus stuff) then you'll find some nice technology stuff there too.
I'm planning on getting the first three HH books. I've heard they're good starters to get into the world.
Yes they are, the first 3 are brilliant and then the next 10 or so are good-above average but then it gets into this horrible 15 book long phase of fuck all happening beyond following side stories in the heresy. Not that they are all bad, it's just they don't really push the narrative anywhere because they are fleshing out the universe (well sub-universe 30k) For tyranids and amusement, Ciaphas Cain cannot be beat. However Jews Workshop beat the author to death and all his stuff is out of print now so good luck finding any that aren't £999.99 on amazon.
The Inquisition trilogies might be of interest to you too
Eisenhorn
Xenos / Malleus / Hereticus
Ravenor
I / Can't / Recall
Bequin
Pariah / tba / tba
These explore the 'real life' bits of 40k rather than the sword and fire stuff that most novels go for, along with plenty of the latter ofc.
Like the political and civilian side of stuff? That sounds kind of cool.
Yep, they really are. You get to see a lot of politicking and intrigue going on, whilst giving life to the 'ordinary person' in the imperium. The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer
^This is a great book on so many levels, but again it's kinda good luck finding it because it's been out of print forever.
What's it about? Is it like an in-universe guidebook kind of thing?[/quote] Sort of It's a self-referencing parody style book that's written as if it was provided to a Guardsman in WH40k. It's a propaganda piece and technical manual rolled into one and it's really quite witty how they managed to do it. //
If you don't mind e-books, go to http://www.blacklibrary.com/ because they have all of the novels ever in digital format.
eewwwwww ebooks
If I have to (For the out of print ones), I guess its a necessary sacrifice.
Yeah, I don't use them but some day I might have to bite the bullet. I've been trying to find a certain cain novel for about 4 years now, but nothing doing.

Gaunts Ghosts is a good place to start; First and Only will explore one of the listed topics and has some pretty neat stuff in it alongside (Also one of the best 40k novels out there). For the 'weird' tech kind of stuff, you can't beat the ___ of Mars trilogy (Priests, Lords and Gods) which follows a Mechanicus expedition to look for 'the breath of the gods/creation' which is kind of like a planetary/solar version of a GECK. You also get some lovely technotheology going on to boot. The other place to start is in the Horus Heresy which... eh it's 35 books and counting now so I can't really condemn another person to that trial BuT if you pick out the 'Mechanicum' novel by Graham McNeil (also wrote the above mechanicus stuff) then you'll find some nice technology stuff there too.
