Is there a reason you referenced a post from january, 2009? I mean, okay, the thread gets brought back from the dead, but why the hell do you quote something on the first page from over a year ago. :wtc:

The great thing about Glocks is that glock makes ridiculous huge magazines sometimes. You could carry your Glock 26 and then keep a 32 round magazine taped to your leg. Motherfuckers don't know what hit 'em. I know a guy who keeps his 19 loaded with one of those huge things. looks hilarious...

' Wrong. Always call a lawyer first. Always. The police cannot charge with obstruction of justice for refusing to co-operate. You're protected by the fifth amendment (by saying anything you may incriminate yourself, and thus, aren't required to say anything. But yes, memorize a lawyer's (GOOD...

I seriously cannot believe this is an issue for people. This has been the rule for CD players since they fucking came out. I've had this happen with walkman. Y'know, the portable CD player that's designed to be used when walking? Seriously, it's goddamned retarded to move your xbox (Or CD...

This is very much true. Some things to be aware of: The police cannot hold you without charging you. The two most important questions for you are: "Am I being charged with something?" and "Am I free to go?" The only thing you have to tell the police (in America) is your name. If you...

It's all about intent, really. You don't go in with the intent of taking free stuff from people (Like I would do), and they give them to you freely. If it really bothers you, give it back, or, give it to some other newbie. I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Not necessarily; you can just be...

This is how video games work; they go progressively harder so the game maintains a level of challenge. This works for a very simple reason: it gives a feeling of accomplishment. If the difficulty level was static throughout the game, there'd be no real accomplishment; I beat level one, I beat...

Yes and no. There's lots of similarities, but lots of differences. Even if the Marathon had been launched in the Halo Universe, they would have had FTL drives in Halo before the Marathon reached Tau Ceti; and likely would have beat them there. It's far more likely that the Halo Universe existed...

You don't get it, do you? My point was that they aren't trying for realism (if they were it'd be a lot more like ARMA), they don't even try to be realistic or consistent with their own concept of 'realism' (see wildly different damage/range values for guns firing the same caliber ammunition)...

COD, for the most part, is pretty simple. You see bad guys, you shoot 'em, you get shot, respawn quickly, rinse, repeat. There typically is much strategy. need to a cap a point? Rush rush rush. Need to defend it? Shoot shoot shoot M203. You can join objective gametypes and just go by those...

Hardly. It does not have some degree of realism because it uses real guns (regardless of their actual usage/expected usage in any armed forces) and is set in the modern day-ish kind of time period. My point was that if it was 'realistic' the damage values per gun might reflect that, and not be...

Honestly? Are you even trying to attempt attach "realism" to MW2? It's an arcade shooter dressed up in some HIGH SPEED LOW DRAG GO LOUD DROP TANGO SUPPORT. While some of the weapons resemble their real-life counter parts, the weapon stats are just goddamned confusing. For instance, despite the...

From the thread title alone, its just you.

Except it's so very, very, wrong. Malls are typically large, and it'd have to be one to provide you with supplies for a long time. So you'd need more people to help you cover that ground, which means the supplies will last for less time. Next, if you're able to get into the mall, so can other...

Because, of course, it can't be his own opinion that he came up with through his own free will, that belief in creationism/intelligent design/ and/or god makes one an idiot. It's a stupid opinion, making himself stupid. Free-thinking allows intolerance.
