3) GURPS sourcebooks are pretty awesome as general information sourcebooks even when they spectacularly fail to be good sourcebooks for actual GURPS gameplay. This. Very much this. GURPS Ultra-tech is my tech bible for sci-fi games; Bio-tech is grand; and the stuff from Transhuman Space is thought ...

I have attempted this hack, with no particular result. I am led to a conclusion: the reason my Youtube starts sucking every day between 6:00 and 10:30 PM is because I live in an apartment complex, and people are coming home from work. This seriously has a tremendous effect - far more than the cachin...

Never forget that even while gaming, your laptop's RAM and CPU (and for that matter, GPU) are all also servicing your OS. This is a fairly serious drain on your resources for a non-gaming rig. When a console is running a game, the OS is more or less shut off. Completely. The only thing still active ...

The biggest reason to start a new console generation is a problem that's a total no-brainer for PC gamers - RAM. Seriously. The PS3 has, no joke, 256 MB of RAM. Also, 256 MB of VRAM. You want to know why Skyrim has so much trouble on the PS3? There it is. The Xbox 360 is barely any better, with 512 ...

There are a couple of specific advantages to missiles over lasers or mass drivers ... Fourth, missiles force your opponents to deal with another type of weapon, which means they need to have more varied defenses. You are kind of dumb. (EMP, nuke, and bomb-pumped lasers immediately spring to mind) S...

There are a couple of specific advantages to missiles over lasers or mass drivers (granted, they make missiles complicated and expensive, but all hardware design is tradeoffs). The biggest is that missiles let you offload your weapon waste heat into another object - not a huge deal when dealing with...

Tell me about it. I got 24 mods on FNV, including Requiem For A Capital Wasteland, which gives Fallout 3 as playing ground. Its fucking awesome. Where pray tell can you get Requiem For A Capital Wasteland these days? They pulled it from The Nexus over some kind of copyright legal bullshit. I'm 100 ...

Bay of Pigs slipped my mind, but that one was kinda dropped into his lap - Eisenhower did most of the heavy lifting on that operation, and Kennedy just let it go, more or less as previously Presidentially approved, based on the intel that the CIA gave him. It's not like he'd had a whole lot of time ...

How's combat? What's possible, what's not? Is the setting worth caring about? Can you kick ass as something other than a Jedi, or do Jedi not kick as much ass as they ought?

It wasn't just turning off the alarms, though they did that too. The main problem at Chernobyl goes like this: 1. running a systems test. 2. with the night crew (instead of their best engineers) 3. who didn't know enough to recover from a catastrophic failure of everything. They were good enough to ...

That is the most stupid fucking thing anyone has said on this thread. Which is impressive, considering that it's a gun thread. The bullet's composition has everything to do with whether it breaks the sound barrier, and if it does the noise is very much louder than if it does not. Like how a whip cr...
