You'll want the Explosive Mission Pack. Which also includes an extra mission that makes a scene before you get on the boat make sense. I've a feeling that since that pre-boat scene is kinda random that this extra mission was trimmed for DLC. Or just kill everyone and that's bound to get you enough pocket secretaries to unlock most doors. Also each time you use a Nuke or Stop it gives you like 100xp or something, and you get enough in the game that they're worth just using instead of hoarding. Great way to quickly boost Praxis points. Even if I had the passcode I'd still do the hacking mini-game.

(This could go in an XBL thread too..if we had one. I'm not sure we do)

For anyone playing I'd actually suggest doing a large chunk of the main quest before much else. You get given quite a few useful shouts and such. I'm up to the bit where you get told to search for the games namesake and I think just after that comes a certain shout everyone else has been saying is great for melee types.

I guess all things cooking can go in here? If it gets too much or feels like too much of a different topic I can easily split it afterwards. I'm not sure on the "follow instructions" thing. I can sort of agree with using it a bit mainly because some of us use oz, some use cups, some us grams. Though most here seem to be in general terms, like 1 onion, handful of carrots, a chicken fillet etc.

What Allan failed to mention is that as of yesterday/today (depends on timezones) he's Press X or Dies newest writer. So welcome

Oh yeah anything with chicken in is great. I like chicken. And as long as it's not got the skin on (I tend to just get in a bag of frozen fillets) it's pretty healthy. I tend to just throw a fillet in the oven when I get breakfast, take it out when it's done shred it up n just leave it to cool on the side until lunch. Great for putting in sandwiches. Keep them coming.

Awesome

So a good thread for most of us since it seems a chunk of us are wanting to slim down over the coming year. I'm basically looking for some extra food ideas. I'm not a terrible cook, but my knowledge of various meals is somewhat limited. When aiming to lose a bit of weight it doesn't help that the meal your best known for is a great stir fry (it's not an overly healthy stir fry) I'm not a hugely fussy eater or a fussy cook(so don't suggest weird n exotic foods or meals). Since most of you are students I'll assume most are of the "if it only has one use, it's not going in my kitchen" mantra. So preferably things that that can be prepared with the bare basics of a kitchen: pan, frying pan, oven tray, few knives(I've got more than a few admittedly. I like a good knife), chopping board, bowls, spoons, etc. Also simple spices, condiments, etc. I've access to an asian market too (I'm in a rather nice asian area), they also run a small fresh fruit n veg market too. Oh and cheaper the better. I love fish, but fish ain't cheap though it is healthy. If it's meals that can be frozen too that's awesome. I have all day to make batches of food n a freezer all to myself. If I can make a bunch of meals for myself in bulk, know what's in them unlike ready meals, then that's awesome. I'm also just looking for ideas of throwing in vegetables and fruit into random day. I like nuts n seeds, as well as dried peaches n figs (they're pretty sweet. Nice crunchy texture too. Shame they look like ball sacks )

I wouldn't say it would be controversial to add in a gay character. There have been gay characters before. And the controversy doesn't tend to centre on there being LGBT characters, but that they were generally terribly done. For example Dragon Age the issue most had wasn't that there was a gay romance option, but that the romance stuff kinda sucked. For example. With the fact there have been quite a few LGBT characters in games I am wondering why it's spoken of as a "if they were to add gays in games" kind of way. Gay Bi Transgender (okay I admit it's pushing it a bit, but it is rather frequently commented on in game) Bi (and iirc the controversy wasn't that she was bi, but that she was nekkid) Gay (As well as technically you the player character. Oh and yes there's many more, this is just top of my head stuff) Personally I think Quina is maybe the best example. It's never made a huge thing, and if anything is pretty openly mocking the limited binary look on gender western society has with the whole "s/he" thing. Veronica is pretty chill too, it's never made a huge thing. Whereas stuff like Zevran is way OTT and 80% of his dialogue is him flirting with you.

The followers can die. But as Malicious pointed out, only at your hands. Otherwise they just Gears of War their way out of it. So be safe in the knowledge that if your follower has died, then it's you that killed them.

You know I'm not sure on that one. It's all very mixed messages and Iv'e a feeling it depends on how n what you do. Like if you point console at a person n say "kill", or "AddAllSkills 20"(or whatever it'd be) then yeah your'e fucked. Also it's only for "that session". So if you save then close n reopen the game you'll be in a new session.

If you're on PC you can teleport to them. Dunno the console command though.

I've not once called you ignorant, nor did I reference you at all in my reply to Kovach.

Pretty much this. EA, and its subsidiaries, have gotten a rather cruddy history of fucked up bans. Not helped by the lack of any clear policy. And that when they issue bans it tends to lock you out of paid for games. If you're afraid of people unbalancing the economy then 1) fix the glitch n 2)maybe have a sit down with CCP. There's not step 3 of banning people because your game has bugs in it.

Hated them so much he ran for president. edit: http://www.livescience.com/17743-romney-santorum-tied-iowa-caucus-experts.html Didn't know it was only 8 votes apart.

I can't see myself wanting to download games there n then, Iv'e a feeling 3G won't allow for multiplayer gaming and I have a phone for most other 3G purposes (i.e interwebs, tweeting FBing etc). So Wi-Fi only would do me fine.

Oh it's not mine

I guess could just say what you have, and folks can PM if interested.

nice

How'd you go about boycotting a product that isn't sold though?
