The main features I used on the old site: * The "not just news but everything chronologically" feed on the home page * The column sidebar Guess what's gone? EDIT: Oh yeah, and the old site option isn't working. Before you ask, yes I am a pub club member. Yes I was logged in.

I can't figure out how to get more slime...

I don't know if I'd call X-Com genre defining, because I've never seen any other game like it. That may just be a lack of exposure on my part, though. I bought X-Com on steam about a year ago and I love it. It can be very frustrating sometimes but I love it.

I like it. The conversation integrates well with the gameplay, and the characters are all true-to-form (which is unusual...). I haven't seen any bugs in the gameplay. The one criticism may be the weak AI but...oh, wait, I'm still playing on Easy. Nevermind, I love it. This may appear to be...

My experience: Click link. Go through TOS crap. Agree. My parent's Live account is required to agree as well. I am over 18, but I wasn't when I made a quick throwaway xbox account (I don't own an xbox) 2 years ago for a school project. I try to delete my account. I cannot. I register a new...

I'm glad you mentioned tropes, because I think it deserves a mention that Buffy was so egregious in this regard that, at www.tvtropes.org, it's considered (almost memetically) as THE show that you can find an example of ANY trope in, EVER. They've pulled that show apart by its seams and pasted...

I'm willing to bet someone is right now working on modding NV to get that highwayman up and running again... In related news, I know of one person who's writing their own post-ending game world complete with changes to faction powers and new quests, depending on who you sided with. Though...

Playing PC, Steam version. This. Except it killed Smiles instead of Trudy. This is the one that's really getting to me. Veronica is a must-have companion and I've just been through her character development quest, so there's an emotional attachment too. I can talk to her, tell her to follow...

I hate people using the phrase "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." They're only doing it to TRY to sound smart, and it doesn't mean what they think it means. It's normally used in the context of "there was this opposite thing" and sometimes people justify something having an...

Similar example from many of the Worms games. The computer could calculate using the exact wind speed and power needed to land a grenade or missile right on top of you. In contrast, it would take a skilled player a few turns to fine tune it to that point, and even then they a. can't read the...

Speaking as a programmer and other things computer-y, I want to compare the debate to something called Endianness. Basically (and dumbed-down), an Intel computer (current standard for all PC, Mac, whatever) would store a number like one-hundred-and-twenty-three as 321. This is called...

Oh god, not the ANZAC Bridge!!! Seriously, bonus points for getting to blow up Sydney.

This news post may cause me to buy the game, NOT for the reasons you're thinking but just because I'd forgotten about it.

What I want to see is a big ship, where you can get into your seat and fly the ship, but also get up and walk to somewhere else on the ship, eg. for repairs or to take another seat - ideally this would be a multi-player crewed ship. I've sort of seen this in certain Halo CE mods (driver seat...
