The poor fools never suspected a thing!

Yeah it has some cool looking aspects. I might give it a go although the PC version isn't due until January. I'd be a lot more interested in co-op missions or horde mode though.

I find it hard to believe that if the kid was white and had different name that there would be the same result. Also I think it's a damn shame that society has become so consumerist that objects which aren't wrapped in a nice neat shell are treated with suspicion.

I don't think it needs a sequel either or a movie. I don't think a movie would enhance it but it would bring it to a wider audience which isn't a bad thing I don't really want it to happen though because of hollywood's track record with adaptations. That might work.

They are still optional though You don't have to play them to do the main story missions. I've played a couple of them and they make things a bit more tense which is nice change but I have quite a low threshold for that stuff so probably won't play them all. I did C2W the other day and after just about managing to not get gunned down I'd taken out enough of the troops to get to the radio controls, then I wondered how I'd destroy it, guns would be too loud, I didn't have grenades but I'd picked up some anti-personnel mines so I thought I'd be clever and place them in the room so when guards wondered in they'd blow it up for me while I'd be twirling my moustache behind a rock at a safe distance. Well that's not quite what happened. I accidentally set off the mines myself said "oh shit" and half dead ran away as fast as possible, mercifully I wasn't seen and finished the mission

The link is fine Thanks, I'll see how it goes.

Well, a number of the missions after 31 are optional repeats of earlier missions with restrictions to make them harder, so don't worry, you are

Ending structure stuff which isn't really spoiling events but some may not want to see.

Yeah I've been using a medium suppressor but anything better than that requires very high level teams. Almost every one of my staff is at least A+ and they range up to S++ but my teams are still in the low 40's. There's some developments that require teams of level 58, possibly even high although I think 60 is the max. Mission 43

I'd also like to hear of good ways of taking out stunned/sleeping enemies because I don't like wasting suppressor on them. If the situation allows I'll kick them to wake them up, grab them and knifey-knifey or pick them up and take them somewhere that I can do that without alerting their comrades.

Well I've been led to believe that it happens in places. It happened in my local cinema once but that was a group of French students I think, also it was WWZ so clapping seemed especially odd Also I think some people clapped in a cinema in Denmark but the Danes I was with seemed to think that was a bit odd too so perhaps it's not normal there. Slightly more on topic, we don't have frats here in Britain and I'm very glad about that. I think the closest we have are societies which don't have their own buildings or anything like that. We have halls of residence which are basically dorms and we were aware that in ours it was all guys on the ground floor for the specific reason that if someone is gonna break in then it'll be that floor so this was a precaution to avoid sexual assault. Not a particularly comforting thought but we didn't dwell on it, we also had bars on the windows and a concierge plus campus security would patrol. I think the security was more because it was a bit of a rough city and you were more likely to be burgled that assaulted though.

Anyone know of good tutorials on lists? I've used arrays before but not much so the more beginner the better. I've watched the official video tutorial but it's a bit fast and doesn't go into much detail or structure.

This seems a bit reaching but during a live stream someone from Naughty Dog said: It seems quite possible that they have prototyped a sequel but have not necessarily put it into production which would explain why they'd think in terms of "the first" and presumably "the second". Full speculation here.

Some people clap at the cinema so in a lecture doesn't seem that odd in comparison

iirc it was arrow keys to move, since there was no seperate look at that point the move direction would also have orientated the view and strafe would have been separate keys, possibly comma and full stop (period), fire was probably ctrl. WASD wasn't standard until some time later, I didn't play many shooters on PC in the 90's though so couldn't say when exactly. Also I don't it's really such an obvious choice when you think about it. You had arrow keys there already, it would have made sense to try and use those, WASD is staggered so makes less sense too. I assume at some point people got sick of uncomfortable positioning of their hands and the lack of additional keys around the arrows and looked for something else.

Hmm well it depends on how you're going to do the textures I guess. You could try the method in the first answer here: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/10741/what-is-the-best-way-to-unwrap-a-sphere which will as it says reduce stretching and will remove the issue of the poles but may not be easy to texture.

I wasn't familiar with this artist but this post got shared into my feed so I had a look and all of their work seems to be rather generic 'attractive' women with almost no difference in their faces. It seems that they received some criticism for this and responded with this: https://www.facebook.com/Stanleyartgermlau/photos/a.420509275158.209926.27756180158/10153695122535159/?type=1&fref=nf Urgh.

Nope or at least I've not heard of one. It's an issue as old as 3D Modelling itself. Sometimes people try to disguise the issues at the top and bottom by either making it a very blank area (which works for planets with ice caps well but not many other things. I think I've heard of decals being used over the poles too but that's not a very efficient method. Can I ask what you're trying to make?

I don't have anything meaningful to add but yep Orbital is the one I played. It's interesting to hear how that game credits the original though.

More ending spoilers:

I hated that mission, I had to look up how to do it which is never a good sign in my book.

I dunno, I saw this earlier and thought it was pretty great: https://youtu.be/jfG-iY8uFig
