    PC Gaming Space Station 13

    From the impression Sseth gives, it involves mostly mail delivered semen. Which is actually a rookie mistake, when you think about it, since you're sending DNA evidence.

    Fallout What If? The Enclave decided to conquer or reassimilate the Wastelanders instead?

    Depends what the alternative is. Authoritarians are nothing new, and I would say most humans throughout civilized history have live under some rather authoritarian system. It depends on what the alternative is, and what they think the alternative could be. If the alternative to living under the...

    ASOIAF/GOT What If? Northern Westeros was populated by Ice Age Megafauna?

    I never got the impression there was an exceptional amount of farming north of the wall to begin with. It seems to be snow covered all the time, even during summer. Most populations of wild animals, even substantially large ones, learn to not mess with humans given enough time. That's not to...

    Fallout What If? The Enclave decided to conquer or reassimilate the Wastelanders instead?

    Not necessarily communist, they could allow independent business, but with the threat of seizure if they don't comply with state demands. So fascist, or mercantilism, maybe? It's... marginally better.

    ASOIAF/GOT What If? Northern Westeros was populated by Ice Age Megafauna?

    I seem to remember mention of Aurochs, too. There could be other things, they just aren't mentioned because it's not important to the story. As for the effect, it'd depend on the animals. You say ice age, but there were several. We tend to lump a lot of the noteworthy extinct Cenozoic fauna...

    Fallout What If? The Enclave decided to conquer or reassimilate the Wastelanders instead?

    I might shy away from being too ready to give people energy weapons in large amounts, but yeah, that'd be the general idea. Give your militias enough to make them superior to other wastelanders, but not so much that they can't be easily taken down be well equipped Enclave soldiers if they get...

    Fallout What If? The Enclave decided to conquer or reassimilate the Wastelanders instead?

    I suppose the level of disdain will depend on the internal culture of the Enclave, which is something already up in the air since the premise that they aren't all genocidey means that said culture is fundamentally different from canon. Still though, yes, these are people still living in some...

    Fallout What If? The Enclave decided to conquer or reassimilate the Wastelanders instead?

    Probably go a lot like the Brotherhood in Fallout: Tactics. They're in the same situation of having access to a lot of advanced technology, but are lacking in manpower. They'd steamroll almost anyone in a fight, but they can't be everywhere, and you need men to hold territory. They'd either need...

    Is Melee Combat in Videogames Too Limited?

    I was going to bring up Mount & Blade as well. It's got a system where the direction you're moving, or where you aim the mouse on the screen, will determine the kind of attack you make. That being said the on foot combat is a bit stiff and lacks proper feedback. Combat mostly shines on...

    Crossover The Daemon Primarchs get transported to Star Wars - verse.

    I suppose it depends on how you establish the force and the warp. Having two kinds of space magic seems odd. If they basically become the same phenomenon, then the galaxy is in trouble just from the addition of the warp and the ruinous powers. Star Wars might hold off a little better than some...

    Superhero Anime/Manga; Anybody notice the lack of a “Fantasy Kitchensink”?

    This is almost certainly because western superhero comics were written centered around individual characters at different times. The idea of DC or Marvel having shared universes came later. Batman wasn't originally written with the idea that Superman and Wonder Woman existed in other parts of...

    Do dog headed men have Souls?

    Canaanites are people from Canaan, an old name for a region in the middle east referenced in the Bible a lot. You're probably mixing it up with Cainite, which is one of the Vampire: The Masquerade terms for vampire, as they descend from Biblical Cain in that setting. As far as confusion over...

    How does attacking in both melee and ranged give a feeling of impact in videogames?

    Bethesda games have always had poor combat that seemed like an afterthought. You could probably blame it on them trying to do the open world RPG thing first, and not viewing it primarily as a combat game. That's a total copout and poor excuse, but it's all they've got. They just don't seem to...

    Sexy Starships

    I don't know how to feel about Subverse, or what to expect. Studio FOW are talented animators, but their actual content doesn't usually appeal to me, since I'm not big into monster gang rape. Kinda digging that spaceship, though.

    How does attacking in both melee and ranged give a feeling of impact in videogames?

    It's a variety of things working together, but weapon feedback ultimately breaks down to visual and sound design, and timing. It's the interplay of what happens and how it lines up with your expectations and your interaction. When you fire a shotgun at someone, does it sound powerful? Does the...
