  1. Quality thread title. Quality idea. Kind of attached to my current colony right now :X
  2. The Next President

    Our system is nothing like the US but all we do is write a number in a circle. It takes like 10 seconds if you have to look the number up on the sheet in front of you and less if you don't. And, like just mentioned, you can have a simple system and fuck up the ballot design. That's a design problem, not a problem in the overall system. Whoever came up with the butterfly ballot is an idiot.
  3. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    I'm pretty sure it's intentional. People on their forums are talking about a third bonus mission, after which the three will be bundled as a DLC pack. I'll end up buying the upgrade, but right now I can't afford it and when I do buy it I'll have the taste of blood in my mouth.
  4. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    I'm sure they could.
  5. Ghostbusters (2016)

    Huh, I literally can't remember the scene you're talking about right now. I just remember him turning down Dana when she's possessed. I don't agree with that Nerdlove quote, Venkman is totally prepared to make people feel uncomfortable. He's also prepared to lie and doesn't care about causing people pain. So he's a creep and Dana must have bad taste in men to ever get involved with him. But he's not evil. I've seen so many films in which protagonists actually grab women. Venkman makes Dana throw him out but it's not like he struggles against her. He's out of the apartment like 20 seconds after Dana asks him to leave. He goes about wooing Dana like an asshole, but the society he lives in doesn't have a huge problem with that. That's not Bill Cosby material, that's just a creep.
  6. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Wouldn't be so bad if the upgrade price scaled, but it doesn't.
  7. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Yup, they don't come with the individual DLCs, so apparently Marrakesh for instance won't give you all Marrakesh missions. I'd have to buy the Upgrade pack DLC, but that doesn't account for what I've bought already, so I'd be losing 16€.
  8. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    So I guess I didn't get the Bonus pack after all. Chose the wrong way to buy my missions.
  9. Ghostbusters (2016)

    It's not like Ghostbusters presents Venkman as some guy to look up to. The movie knows and shows he's a creep from the first scene he's in. He's just not beyond redemption (he refrains from being actually rapey with the possessed Dana). I don't think it's as bad historically as you say, because we still get protagonists in films who act like creeps but their actions are presented as being A-OK.
  10. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Yeah, I was struggling all the time against doing that.
  11. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Ahaha, I can't believe that worked. First try too, didn't replan or anything. There are now three escalation missions in Marrakesh. They are pretty different from what shipped with the game. Worth doing IMO.
  12. The threat of Big Dog

    I've heard two stories. One in which the truck turns to the Tesla's lane (from the representatives of the deceased) and another where the Tesla turns to the truck's slower lane (from the truck driver, I think). EDIT: That diagram is different from the picture I got reading the story I read.
  13. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Yeah, I'm at 15 now. You get some good stuff in the later levels. Man, the second escalation was so tough. I killed like 11 extra people when I finally managed to finish it. No points, but it's done.
  14. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    It's tough to unlock as much in Marrakech because there are only two escalations and they are damn hard.
  15. UK Thumbs

    It's such a shame people don't know the UK parliamentary system as well as the American one, because it's bonkers in a good way (and also bad ways). I would love to have a shadow cabinet. Some David Tennant goodness through the link.
  16. Idle Thumbs Streams

    Maybe I should only watch streams of games I don't know as well as Hitman
  17. Idle Thumbs Streams

    I have a suggestion if you do more Hitman: if you haven't completed the regular mission a bunch of times, play that because it's more forgiving and you can try more things. If you know the map really well, then do the escalations. Maybe this is a common stream thing, but I was pretty much screaming at the screen for the first two hours of watching the newest video You know those two guards who talk next to the tunnel entrance right after you sneak into the shoe store and steal a bunch of coins? If you wait for 15 seconds, one of them walks away and the other turns his back. EDIT: Wow, you really got your shit together at the end there. I would never have attempted that without say, the consulate garage starting location at the least. Congrats.
  18. 7 to 10 is going to be a pretty big jump. I doubt you'll like everything right away.q
  19. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    I think I get better performance but it always crashes pretty soon :/
  20. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Oh, man, I got so greedy and failed the new one in about a minute! Just couldn't not pull the trigger with him in my sights.
  21. Born if not bred American. Man, how shit have people's reactions to this attack been. It's really sad.
  22. Mafia III: Django Unchained

    Oh shit, it's set in New Orleans? I loved the original Mafia, although remembering it, the gunplay was rubbish. Loved the driving, the town, the soundtrack and the traffic tickets.
  23. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    I have odd problems and crashes if I run the game in DX 12. If you have more problems, try DX 11.I wonder what I'm missing.
  24. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Is that Summer Bonus thing free or paid?
