I guess women tend to be snipers a bit more often because...it's seen as more elegant and feminine to take your enemy out from a distance with a single shot than to hose them down with a mini-gun? I dunno, fuck me if I know.
So all in another. That's it. Just "another."

I just knew this was coming. And that it would be amusing.
I did not, however, anticipate the Furby holding up a "Check your womb privilege" sign. Well done.

I'm flabbergasted the cyber killer bees didn't get a Bioshock reference because that's apparently the level of realism we're going for.
Ohhhh, that last line, that was pretty good XD
Still, Even while I kinda liked the plot of the old Zombies mode, even I kinda thought that allowing the plot to carry on after the cast of the BLOPS 2 Zombies blew up the fucking earth had some serious mind-numbing confusion, even after everything that came before it.
The insane part is that's still supposed to be canon with that crazy WW1 Map they released as the final chapter, the ending of which was even more confusing.

last week halo 5, this week Black Ops 3. feels like a strange kind of count down, but it's missing a number. strange, I wonder what video game recently came out with a 4 in it. hmm I guess we'll have to wait till next week to find out and see if he liked it.
While it would be fun to imagine its some cackling conspiracy of corporate types unfortunately its probably just plain bone idleness I'm afraid. I've kind of given up on pc ports recently - Arkum Knight was so laggy it completely just broke the game for me. More than it already was I mean.09philj said:
OP: Despite my usually aversion to COD games this is the first one I'm actually considering getting. With the massive amount of multiplayer and co-op game modes it looks like a fun one for me and my partner to get stuck into now that we're done with the Borderlands.
Maybe it's because she loves through her skin... or she knows that she's immune to grenades at point-blank range...erttheking said:
OT: That poster could have been a callback ad to Hatfall...
Other than that, all I can think about in terms of running up walls is Sonic...so maybe he secretly endorses their shoes...
What's amusing about his comments about the lady sniper and her eventually falling in love with you(at least, that's how it sounded to me) is that I recently played Advanced Warfare(yeah, I know it's a year late but it was finally cheap enough for me to want to buy) and I was actually kind of impressed that Ilona was a Russian female main character who didn't 1.) act stereotypically Russian or 2.) want to bang you because you're the PC.
Especially since AW was going a bit nuts with the QTE(the "Press X to Pay Respects" ruined what should have been a moving scene), and I could only imagine a far worse game where Sledgehammer....sledgehammed in a romance scene with her, complete with QTE(Press X for Doggy style).

Well Assassins Creed just released game 9(which is probably why they stopped using numbers), Tomb Raider 2 just dropped, Fallout 4, carry the 2......el_emmens said:
Half life 4 confirmed!
No? Too soon?
Refer to his review of New Vegas. Unless Fallout has changed a lot, he'd probably just post a video for a different game, saying "Just to reiterate, this is my review of Fallout 4: Watch the Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas reviews. And now on with the show."el_emmens said:
I always thought it was an unhealthy obsession with female Russian snipers from WWII.erttheking said:
There's an old tale about how women make better snipers because they have steadier hands/arms. I'm not actually sure if it's a scientifically proven thing or a total myth. As someone else above me said, there's also been situations during war when women were utilized as sharpshooters. There may have been many justifications for this aside from "women are better snipers", such as snipers being hidden and thus not getting killed as often, and if found they can pretend to be civilians.erttheking said:
Women who were snipers during WWII or Vietnam however were usually shooting with what were essentially scoped hunting rifles. Those can be devastating obviously, ask The White Death, but modern military sniper rifles tend to be the heaviest and most cumbersome personal guns out there, meaning practically it would take quite a muscular woman to haul the rifles over long distances. This is essentially the main barrier to letting women into combat roles, it's not lifting and using the weapons, it's carrying them over long distances.
Plus, we all know which military role women are best suited for...
On the other hand, this is from Treyarch, who are generally known for making well-polished PC versions of their games, and if anything they have more practice working on the PC than on current-gen consoles - and the engine is a straight upgrade from the one they used last time, so it's not like they had to decipher someone else's modifications. It's a lot harder to excuse or even explain the issues it's having.Joshroom said:
I'm disappointed that this isn't referred to as a part of "Shooter Season 2015". Sure, the pile of FPS games is down to 4 or 5 instead of 7-ish, but it's more than usual by far. We even have some old franchises coming back: Fallout 4 and Star Wars: Battlefield Battlefront.
Piss Pour PS4 as CoD's new home. If they didn't have that bias, they would care about the millions of PC users who know that a mouse is better than a stick for aiming and can now request refunds on Steam. EA doesn't show that kind of disregard.
I feel like it's more of a conspiracy, as Treyarch have declared theJoshroom said:
