Attention everyone, I will be leaving for the summer very shortly and going on an academic cruise around the Mediterranean which my father was invited to teach on, the boat has basically no internet and I don't think we'll be spending much time in locations where I would have internet, so talk to you guys August 26 or whenever I get internet for long enough to check in.

[StoneSlinger88]

See you then, String. Have fun and don't get eaten by sharks or barracudas or tuna.

I hate you.

[Ironmonger]

I don't get it.
What's the point of even expecting new FPS if you're just gonna play the multiplayer? Which would probably have the same DM/CTF/[insert mode here] as a hundred FPS before it, if they made it.

They're focusing on making a good story-driven campaign. That's a GOOD thing.

I never said it was a bad thing. It just made me go 'wat' when you said it wouldn't have multiplayer, it's just something I expect to see at this point.

Time to bring a few shotguns and cutlasses to raid cruise ships for their sweet sweet internet.

If you don't like Boone, just give him the Gobi Campaign Rifle. Nothing says 'fuck you' like giving your pet sniper the rifle he killed his wife with

Umm actually, That sniper nest was set up by the NCR by Cottonwood cove to take out the Centurion there. It wasn't precisely where boone set up. I forget where the indicators are but I think its in Forlorn Hope you find a note or something about the nest's location

weird I was in the New Vegas thread

Australian newspaper afraid to say "black man" calls a man from Georgia (the country) African American.

...Ooookay.

Everyone is American at heart. Sometimes we have to liberate them really hard to get them to remember that, though.

"In every man and woman there is an American waiting to come out.

To ensure the liberation of our citizens, we have no choice but to send our armies to liberate them from their forceful incarcerations.

Much blood will be shed, but in the end it will all be worthwhile.

Good night, and God bless America."

Reminds me of a story my history professor told the class once.
This young woman was working at CNN and a story came up about black students protesting over in France. Seeing her chance to make her big break she decided to cover the story. As she was reporting she mentioned the "French African Americans" and just stop mid sentence with a look on her face of confusion of what she just said.

Also, as a member of the NAACP he was quick to inform us that during the big annual meetings they always cover topics such as black on black crime and African American relations and something else with the word Negro in it.

Moral of the story is that racism is bad but trying to be politically correct has left people in media(and I guess everywhere else) afraid to describe people as black and thus cause them to stay stupid thing.

I am shocked. Pleasantly so, mind you. It's nice to be wrong!

We'll see where this go.

It is left unclear whether this will retroactively void any existing patents on DNA sequences, or what possible loophole the decision could have.

Praised be the Holy Flame, the Life-That-We-All-Share.
Revered be it, for it is the link that unite us all.
For the Prophet was revealed the glory of the Flame ;
And as [The Prophet] shared [The Flame's] wisdom with all willing to hear ;
Together shall we be [The Flame's] instrument, for the good of all.

“What's life in the Community like ? Where to begin... You don't mind confined spaces, do you ? Gonna miss those blue skies ? And the wind ? ... Yeah, of course there's the parks, bio-domes, simulator pods, and all that jazz in every ships, but that's never quite like the real thing, see ?... Plus, how to put it... We're not exactly cramped, but you might start experiencing claustrophobia after realizing you're trapped in a five centuries old hyperspace capable tin-can with a million other people, half of them not even sharing your DNA and a non negligible proportion of which might see you as a delicacy...
“Following that... having an open-mind is also a requirement – you wouldn't believe all the crazy shit I've seen since I converted ten years ago. And trust me, some of the old-timers are real numbers in themselves ! For example... I know of one Hzy – strange creature by the way, takes almost half a ship by itself, but I've never heard a better rendition of “My Way”... – a Hzy I was saying, who claims to have been one of the first converts of the Prophet back in the day. Refuse to tell how he was like, though...
“Oh, and while we're on it, another thing : learn to get along, man. If not you're going to bang your head on the walls faster than it takes for an Umerian to deny the Greys' existence. Trust me, you're going in for a rough culture shock with all the weirdness around.”

“How was the 'Nation' 'born' exactly ? Well, that's an interesting story I hear...
“Basically, it is said that the Prophet, before the Revelation, was a merchant operating from The Hub. He was part of a caravan that roamed the galaxy, exchanging goods and stuff around, for a tidy profit of course. From what I heard, he was already living more or less like we do today, never really setting down anywhere, always on the move.
“Anyway, some day his caravan got stranded in the terminus sector, don't know why or how... Remember, at the time the place was Pirate-Central, and there was no Warp-gate or anything to get you over the hyperspace shoals. I always wonder what the hell he was doing there...
“So, he and his pals got stranded in Home, and landed on Revelation to do some repairs. Things happened, the Prophet Saw The Light, yadda-yadda, we all know the story.
“They managed to get back to civilization, his caravan getting back to business, with the Prophet starting to preach about the Flame and his Visions along the way. People started following him around on their own ships, most doing trade themselves, and other also starting to preach.
“And it more or less all snowballed from there. The rest you can find in the history books, how the Doxa was founded, all of this.
“But what was he doing in Terminus, it boggle my mind really. The place is an effin' death-trap...”

One day I'll need to write something using those guys... That whole mess of half-psychics widely multi species space gypsies was fun to come up with.
