is it ok to kill rifle holding npc to get his sniper rifle? Noticed that npc once dead are dead forever >__<
i don't think he has any quests associated with him so its not a big deal. but killing npcs can make you miss COntent. anyway that rifle isnt very good imo: owned and condolences restarted a new game.... i killed Dick and can't stand seeing his dead body with his other head eyes still blinking and shit. (rifle is indeed weak)

I would get this game but my schedule doesn't allow me to get emotionally involved with more than one game at a time and right now my heart is taken by dorf fortress

Wasn't expecting this to be a roguelike. But it's pretty fun.

good things about this gam:
-good game flow (even if it takes some time to get used to) with shooting, looting and non-annoying stealth. turns out fallout 3 can serve as the basis for a fun shooter. who would have thought?
-stat system is uncomplicated but still allows for multiple "builds"
-booze and hangovers are a clever mechanic that other "roguelikes" should copy
-integrates story and npcs better than these types of games usually do
-writing and humor
not so good things about this game:
-it uses the "fixed rooms randomly stuck together" method of procgen. nothing wrong with that, but there seems to be a dearth of different room types per "area" of the dungeon. levels already started feeling samey on my 4th or 5th run.
-as mentioned previously, having to reload weapons by pressing R is annoying. just automatically reload that shit when i try to fire with an empty magazine pls
-the people whining about the S.O.B. are dum, but the purifier can be unfair occasionally, mainly due to his minigun's stunlock

the knockback on the minigun and klash is being reduced so deaths to the purifier and the spewmen should be more fair soon

yeh i read that on the steam forums the other day. looking forward 2 it. but tbh at this point the SOB rarely even spawns for me. the game can be weird at first because it has so many loot containers all over the place and your first instinct is to explore every nook and cranny and loot em all. once you realize that its often a better idea to push onward, the game becomes a lot easier. so it actually works like in other roguelikes, but the abundance of loot is misleading initially. actually i'd say its on the easy end of its genre (which isn't a bad thing, mind).

*********************************************************************************** * Letter from the Editor... * ***********************************************************************************
Welcome, readers, to Computer Magazine! Sure, there are other computer magazines, but this is the only computer magazine you can only read on the computer!
We hope that you enjoy this exciting new digital format, by removing the expense of the printing process, we make dramatic savings which we can give right back to ourselves.
*********************************************************************************** * In this issue: * ***********************************************************************************
1. Software Review of the Month
2. Editorial - A Matter of Perception
3. Nixon's World
*********************************************************************************** * Software Review of the Month - OfficeCo's Wordsmith * ***********************************************************************************
In the interests of full disclosure, this review, indeed this very magazine has been typed on OfficeCo's Wordsmith.
One word: wow!
We've all been there, that fatal mistake on the typewriter. You pressed the key, but realise too late that the letter got caught up on another, or your ink ribbon has dried up in a very specific area, meaning that you have to type up the page all over again.
Now that we live in the future, this is a problem of the past!
Are you a fast typer? Thanks to light speed circuitry, your keypresses will show up on screen almost instantly - it takes a mere 10 seconds for the computer to catch up with you, as opposed to the typewriter, where keypresses will sometimes physica- lly bar one another. Not so on the computer! When the people of the future press too many buttons at once, the computer helpfully shrieks in digital pain instead of just becoming entangled briefly.
Ever since man first wrote on lined paper, he has dreamed of being able to spend multiple thousands of dollars to do the same thing but with the ability to erase mistakes. The day has finally come!
Graphics - 10/10
Green on black letters. Absolutely stunning.
Sound - 10/10
The sharp beep when you press three keys at the same time is of such stunning definition and fidelity as to be near unbelievable
Story - 10/10
My screenplay about a horny wizard upends the traditional three act structure because I can't think of a good ending and suffer from premature ejaculation.
Overall - 10/10
OfficeCo's Wordsmith is the full package. Actually Officeco's Officesmith Multipackage is the full package, Wordsmith is just the word processing part of the package. But in terms of writing words? This does it all: commas, periods. The whole nine yards.
*********************************************************************************** * Editorial - A Matter Of Perception * ***********************************************************************************
CGA is just around the corner, and eyes are popping straight out of their sockets left, right, and center. The vivid colors, the incredible high definition 320x200 resolution. This is the future, and the future's bright.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who are excited about the advent of CGA, and those who think it looks like vomit made out of microscopic lego becau- se there's something wrong with them.
Here are some hard scientific facts:
The human eye can only distinguish 3 colors - red, green, and blue. So to display 4 colors at once is not just damn near miraculous, it's frankly overkill. There's not a single instance I can possibly think of where you'd need more than 4 colors displayed at once, and I defy any reader out there, bathed in the frankly rather OLD looking green glow to think of their ancient monitor displays, to conjure up an eventuality that would demand it.
And let's face it, it's 1980: Magenta? Purple? They just look so damn cool!
If you're not in front, you're behind. And you know what a behind is? An ass.
I'm not an ass.
Are you?
*********************************************************************************** * Nixon's World - It's Nixon's World, we just live in it! * ***********************************************************************************
My fellow Americans, when I was first asked to write a column for this publication, I was thrilled to immediately say no. Then, slowly, as the zeroes in their offer began to accrue, I realised I have a duty as yet unfulfilled to my people, due to my abortive presidency. I know now that as a man of honor, I must acquiesce. In the name of truth, in the spirit of that which the French, lilly-livered as they may be call fraternité, and in pursuit of big cash paydays, I am here to guide you through the dispiriting and unsatisfactory milieu we find ourselves in at present.
As recently as three days ago I was made aware that the purpose of this periodical is to inform discussion of computer issues. Computers, as far as I'm aware, are the domain of the boffins, the poindexters and what have you. Needless to say, I am not "of" you, I played football in college, I served in the war. However, despite your multitude of personal failings, dear reader, I have no desire to contribute to any kind of fractious environment. That is why I undertake a rather belated paternal task: if I am right about you, reader, which I know in my heart I am, you know little of the wide world of sports. Sports played little role in your upbringing. Know this; to reject sports is to reject society, for they are one and the same. Sports are a ritual of great social import, a kind of codified combat amenable to the modern condition. Children not forged in the crucible of sport are like poorly socialized dogs, they are not equipped with the mental faculties to react properly to the processes of life and are prone to being beaten. Un-sported children, they grow to be mere simulacra of men. They may appear outwardly similar to the normal population, but something integral is missing. Some component of humanity has been lost, or worse yet, replaced with the rock music and so forth. You know, Pat hates it when I say this, but I'm glad Jimi Hendrix died the way he did. Sends a message.
So, sports, a most marvelous medicine for your particular condition. Welcome to my sports column.
The world finds itself gripped once again in that quadrennial pandemic: Olympic Fever. This time round, its seen through a lens with a rather pernicious tint. The Olympics are to be held in Moscow. The media crows that we'll see who Jimmy Carter truly is by scrutinizing his handling of the Soviets. God damn right! He's a dumb bastard with no character! To boycott the games in this fashion is to beat a cowa- rdly retreat from the field of combat. No proxy war is more important than those fought in front of a televized audience. To use military force and be perceived as an international bully is a good thing. To use diplomatic blackmail to walk away from the playground is disastrous. We'll become international pariahs, but worse than that, by turning our backs on sport, we'll become known as a nation of nerds!
Those five multi-colored rings symbolize something. They symbolize the various peoples of the world coming together to stand with Americans as equals even though they're not. Jimmy Carter has spat in the face of all that, but as a dedicated columnist, I offer you a guide to who's who at the upcoming Olympics.
The Soviet Union - Communists. A bunch of coddled slackers if you ask me. These boys have never known real work. Never touched a real football. Probably wouldn't understand the rules even if you gave them one. Still, they're odds on favorite to take the top spot. Winners they may be, but not on my terms.
East Germany - Say what you will about the ladies of the East German weightlifting team, but they believe in something, and they're not afraid of needles. Yessir, East Germany gets Dick's Silver.
Cuba - These shysters. It's tough for me on a personal level to give them credit, but they mold their young into rather fine pugilists. "Boxeao" or whatever they choose to call it down there, they're good at it. The problem of course is that Castro's no morals to speak of, the damnable fool. Everybody fights for the athle- te stipend like dogs with bones. It changes them. The other thing they're good at is judo, a bunch of grown men wearing costumes and playing grabass all day. They call it a sport, but it's not really. And then these South Americans - I've been to South America - adult men crying and kissing each other all over the place. The bastards win though. But only bronze. That's the most shameful position.
Join me next time as I fix something else that's broken about you people. It's the collapse of values, Christ...
