'Alter both' is better.

I'm betting on the sloth.

We had this question in a board game where the other people have to guess what animal I would pick. I opted for a herbivore - goat or sheep or something. I can only remember one other answer and that was my 7 year old son who quite brilliantly thought I could take a sperm whale.

Maybe on land.

When John Paul II was shot he first thanked the guiding hand of the Virgin Mary for moving the bullet away from his heart. Didn't give so much merit to the team of doctors who fought to save his life, and didn't wonder why Mary didn't move the bullet completely out of the way.

I think Famous Blue Raincoat is sadder. The music is more desolate and his vocals are more forlorn.

He was told a literal description of being stepped on by a giant bird and he presumed it wasn't literal.

I love the German word ver­bes­se­rungs­be­dürf­tig, meaning in need of improvement. I'm not German, but thought this was a cracking word.

I'm playing Call of Pripyat and have an annoying glitch. Was in the building with all the army guys after Strelok arrived and we waited for the emission to end.

Once it was done, we all headed off and I stuck by Strelok, covering him as intended.

We walked through the arch in the building and now Strelok and the captain just won't move at all, no matter what I do.

I can shoot them to get the 'head to the helicopter' message, but they just kill me after that.

Seems I can't continue. I've reloaded previous saves, going back to the Kindergarten mission, but the same shite happens each time.

Any ideas?

 

Every site I normally use is awful.

I played through Shadow of Chornobyl and it is without doubt my favourite game of all time. Full of tension and dread, excellently paced.

Then I played Clear Sky. God, that was a steaming turd, particularly the last quarter (from Limansk onwards was just tedious). There was no point in having the Clear Sky faction at all, as they didn't help with anything. It was basically a one man job.

Is Call of Pripyat worth it?

Why, oh why, is Steam being impossible for me to sign up to?

The installer worked fine. I try to sign up for my son with his email and it tells me I have an account. I do the forgot password thing and it sends an email, then when I click the link it says I don't have an account.

Why would it send me the forgot password email?

I then try another email, follow the set up, click the email to verify. All good. When I set up my name, no matter what name I use it says available, but when I try to proceed it says Only use A-Z and 1-9, which each of the dozen names I tried was.

Then it takes me back and I try again. It tells me I have an account and to click the email verification link. I click the new link and it tells me I'm already signed up. Then I try the name thing again and the same nonsense happens.

And the extremely contrived captcha... I'm clearly not a robot or I would have given up due to the illogical nature of the process.

What the hell?
