Just found a VERY severe issue. The game can corrupt your last save file if it crashes. Have multiple rotating save files or you could lose your progress. Luckily I had them just from habit. I didn't play enough freelancer to compare to be honest.

I agree, they're terrible. Maybe I just understand budgeting and what is important in a space sim sandbox, and they have a ridiculously low priority. I mean, I couldn't give a fuck. If I cared about those kinds of things I would spend my money on multi-million dollar AAA games that maybe...

Just checked out the forums and some random first impressions. Really? Whining about the voice acting and character models? This is why we can't have nice things...

I've been using an xbox controller. I don't console game so I found it very unwieldy at first but stuck with it because the menus work very well. I've gotten pretty used to it at this point although not entirely yet. Anyone that plays FPSs on a console should be fine once they learn the menus.

Had my first crash to desktop just now. I think it was a memory leak as the game started hitching a little and then when I jumped in a highway it crashed as I was coming up on the next area. I tested the inverting with the gamepad and it worked, I don't know abut the mouse I am playing on my...

I've played about 4 hours so far. The HUD GUI could use a bit of work but other than that the only bug I hit was my missiles switching a little weird. A restart fixed it. The flow and visuals in space are astonishing, in what little time I've played I am extremely happy with what they've...

I think you are right too. I would even pull back another level and look at what those mechanics and features did to the player that made WoW such a popular game. Looking through both your lists I can put everything into probably 3 broad categories. 1. Low Barrier to Entry, Stability, and...

For anyone that is holding back, I am going to try and skip out of work early on Friday to play. I'll post my first impressions after a few hours of playing, especially whether it is a bug-ridden mess or not. That way you can enjoy a weekend of playing if you like

There are quite a few things to address and some of the topics were a little mixed together. The explanations are also rather long-winded so I am going to try and break it up into topical sections rather than direct conversational replies. DATA MINING Using the words "real behavior" was...

It's fine that you disagree, but to be honest your opinion is not nearly as valid as mine. Firstly, I spent way more time using the system than you did, MUCH more time, and secondly design is my profession. I know the difference between what is personal taste and just outright good or bad...

It sounds cool but it was a miserable failure, which is why it was mostly cut. There was no dumbing down or WoWing up of the combat system to please "noobs", it was removing something that wasn't even remotely fun, a good internal decision. This is why developers don't or shouldn't talk about...

The invention process itself varies quite a but by company and even person. This is how I work. Assuming, like j00t said, a non-freemium non-sequel/clone, I usually start with a germ of an idea that comes from anywhere. It can come from a book, another game, sometimes a mechanic in another...

The game had neither of those things. I am not sure what you were playing. The "body location" thing was just an ability named something like "head strike" that stunned. There was no more a body location hit system than there was in say WoW, where of you used "Hamstring" you hit someone's...

I don't remember any such system existing in Vanguard.

Nice find, I thought it was more than that by mass, but it makes sense that it isn't. Human cells are pretty large.

Heh, not even a little. Go on a Google hunt.

No, not even like that. I mean actual whole cells. The human body has about 10 trillion human cells, and we have about 100 trillion nonhuman organisms, mostly bacteria but some fungi and virii living all over and inside of us.

Nope, by mass and number, non-human cells outnumber human cells by maybe as much as 10-1.

Oh, it's worse than just your gut. The cells in your body that are "human" (i.e. have your DNA) are FAR outnumbered by "foreign" organisms, by as much as 10x. You are a walking rain-forest as far as microorganisms are concerned.

No, just no. If you are having gastrointestinal issues related to antibiotic use then you want to a.) go see a doctor and b.) takeprobiotics. Your stomach pH has fuck all to do with your gut flora issue. Go see a doctor, get tested, figure outwhichprobiotics you need, and then fix your...

All detox/cleansing diets are bullshit. Your liver and kidney's do a fine job detoxing you and if they aren't you are in some serious trouble requiring real medical intervention like dialysis. Also, why on earth would youwantto neutralize your stomach acid? Not only will it not flush...

I am going to lay it out for you Convo. Here is what we know for sure... The Global Western Industrial Diet, also known as the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.), is absolutely fucking awful for you. The evidence for this is utterly incontrovertible. Because it is so ridiculously, awfully...

Dr. Oz is a well established "quack", he'll say anything if there is money in it for him. Doctor's aren't immune to greed just because they have an M.D. What matters is evaluating their claims and evidence. This is especially true for doctors that are "media personalities" since the media...

Someone poked major, major holes in the China Study. That is to say, she showed that the conclusions drawn by the authors of the study is not supported by their very own data. She used the data in their actual study to show no direct correlation between meat consumption and disease/death...

Missed the monkey thing. Near as I can tell all primates are omnivorous. Some eat less as a % of their diet, like Gorillas, and others eat much more. Capuchin Monkeys apparently eat quite a lot of meat, similar %s to pre-agricultural humans. Chimps and other primates have been observed...

The plan is harmless enough assuming you get what you need, and limiting processed foods is always a good idea, as is eating lots of vegetables. However dairy is quite good for you, so is unprocessed meat. Just don't read a dumb book then through the baby out with the bathwater.

What we are saying is that if there are a few simple and easily testable claims in the book that are so obviously wrong, then it calls all of the other claims in the book greatly into question. It doesn't automatically mean the entire book is completely wrong, but you should have a hard time...

And totally false. It really sounds like pseudo-scientific nonsense to me. If the things you have mentioned (like the protein content of ham and a tomato) are indicative of the entire book then it isn't worth your time to read.

A Tomato (according to Google) has 0.05 grams per Calorie (0.9g/18C). Ham has 0.14 (21g/145C) About 2.9x as much protein per Calorie.

If I am going to be honest, and I admit I haven't read this book, it sounds like much of the same stuff we've heard for the past 30 years that is shown more and more every day to not be true.

Protein is much less an issue in a vegan diet thanEPAandDHAare. Again, there are vegan sources (algae) but they are generally expensive and difficult to get a hold of.

It's... complicated, as usual. Near as I can tell, because of scant evidence, there is nothing better or worse health-wise between a good Vegan diet and a good non-vegan diet except maybe it might be a little more difficult to hit good while being vegan. But that is relatively minor. My...

Meat, especially organ meat, is very nutrient dense. Doubly so if you go grass fed.

Very Dry

Meh, I'm feel for McCheese, I eat enormous quantities of food in one sitting. My nightly meal is usually a salad with a minimum of 2 heads of Romaine lettuce (or rough equivalent in other leafy green) with a whole bunch of other vegetables plus probably about 500 grams (about a pound) of some...

It's also great for maximal novice strength gains. The days you don't lift are just as important as the days you do.

Both. He put out the book and the DVDs. The book is insanely, ridiculously, detailed. It's pretty big and the bulk of it describes only 5 lifts.

They get lots of credit from me for putting their money where there mouth is and actually making something they want to play. Even a simple "glorified mod" isn't as easy to make as you might think.

I did Starting Strength as described in the book (5x3) and had ridiculously amazing results with it. It works great for women too. My personal opinion is to just do the program in the book, and not one of the modified versions.

I have to admit, Norwegian butter is pretty delicious, I'll sometimes sneak a bite when cooking.
