  1. this is why we need a religion and politics and general rant thread, could this be set up under a blank heading, ie it is just a headder that is blank with the title of the thread, no info on any discussions within, you have o click the link to find out what is there and in big bold letters you enter with the understanding by all that some views within will be offensive to some and you "enter at your own risk" if anyone finds a subject distastful to them, instead of hijacking the particular thread they can start one there "why i find activity x distastful" as long as it isnt a personal attack "why i find member x distastful" I dont see a problem, this way threads wouldnt be taken over, posters can then choose to see any critisism of their activity. I would hope this would make the boards more accesable, peeing is a wide subject and people will inevitably find certain things distastful, but for the original poster this is the only place they might be able to air such views in a supposed understanding forum. I think a rant section would be useful and probably popular, sort out any grievences and keep them there.

  2. Hear hear! Keep Jonny Foerigner out, if theres going to be any governmental connivance with sex offenders its going to be with one of our own organisations like the BBC thankyou veer much, its bad enogh thosee phillistiine migrantss from the Vaican are beeating their tally, bloody Europeans. And you're right I have no sympathy at all for those fleeing countries where we have graciously destroyed infrastructure and destabilised any form of government so we can mop up any lucrative oil and arms deals, they ought to be grateful for the oppotunity and how do they repay us? by seeking a safer and more pleasent way of life without the risk of being blown up by insurgent forces that we have trained and supplied, how dare they?!

  3. is there any way we could start our own? is there any way to start a page where you can add a film title and a description maybes a clip if available and it gets alphabetised? otherwise a thread would soon get messy

  4. and dont forget to factor in the change from the julian to the gregorian calender in the late 1500s and that until the advent of the railways midday was still considered whenever the sun was at its highest and changed from town to town.

  5. before paper as we know it made from wood or fiberous material for anything permenaant such as holy books and scholarily works they used vellum whiich is very fine treated hide, but as a writing material is far superior in longevity to paper but is very expensive and time consming to produce especially in a pre modern age.

    As a document the kjb is precededd by several other bibles, the kjb was the first to be translated from latin into english and as such is prone to some instances of difficulty translating and therefore different in that way. Another issue is here are several other branches of christianity all claiming to have the true christian bible, catholics, russian, greek and egyptian orthadoxes to name but a few and all will give roughly the same accounts, some gospels are added or removed as i believe there are 67 or so known ones, but some events will differ slightly throughout each. Of these bibles many will have roots that can be traced to the earlies known bibles dating from around 800ce, prior to that there are no known examples dating back to around 100ce when the new testament was first starting to be recorded.

    And then you have the problem with the old testament which is directly based on parts of the torah and have again the problem of mis translation throughout the ages and no known early copies. A lot of the events in there that claim to be historical may well be dubious to say the least with a growing number of even conservative biblical scholars believing them to be more fables with moralistic tales and even having been plagerised from existing religions.

  6. I think the major problem with wanting to see historical events would become more problematic to say the least, the further you go back from a varification stand point, dates and times were not recorded accuratly and in the case of most religious texts the event simply never happened or is an amalgamation of several people and events. Personally if I had a time machine I would go back to the 3rd or 4th century c.e. and take plans for technology and health. It was around the height of the Roman empire they were sufficiantly advanced and powerful with a managable world populationl that it would have been feasable to kick start the industrial revoloution and by pass well over a millenia of civilisation that was retarded by religion and halt them before they took hold. Starting with simple ideas such as looms, steam engines and basic ideas about health and hygene combined with virtually untapped rescources would most likely mean we arnt in the dire mess we are today.

  7. Fallout 4 has a season pass for £25 , that gets you all the dlc that will be coming out plus access to mods, which will be a first for consoles. I liked the dlc for fallout 3 and new vegas and whilst yes dlc would be free in an ideal world a lot of the time I find it adds an extra element to the game and encourages me to go back to a game. But i do prefer paying for dlc rather than micro transactions for content alraedy in a game

  8. Dodgy ai especially companions or npc's you have to escort from onee place to another as they suicidally blunder along alerting enemies, also in racing games or the likes of gta where ai vehicles seem to have unlimited horsepower and tyres made of superglue. But yes quick time button mashing seems to be a very frustrating and lazy part on the developers to level up. Although I dont really mind ai ramping up as you level up, sometimes having unlimited firepower against basic enemies can ruin a game as it soon gets quite repetative and dull massacreing them by the dozen.

  9. as far as Im aware your stuff is safe in your home base, Ive not really dabbled in that side yet, just been doing a bit of exploring and building up supplies and my stats, I have found the best way to easyly make water without using glitches and cheats is to install industrial water purification plants at any bases you can then sell on the purified water to tradersbit of a faff around as they only carry a few hundred caps each, but you can always visit several like in diamond city or just trade the excess off for ammo etc

  10. the vault dwellers guide is amazing, I preordered the hardback version which came with some a4 sized posters which are nice and Im gonna get framed up and free access to the online version which is not very good as it omits things, Ive only used it a couple of times as I want my first run through the game to be just random discovery and trial and error to see what works for me. I think the death claws are reasnably easier to defeat than in 3 and vegas, mirelurk queens are a lot worse! Btw always remember to immobilise your power armour by removing the fusion core, npc can and do steal it, I went roaming and something stole my mash of xo1 and t45 suit.

    I do like the far cry series I love far cry 4 and its features, location etc, but prefered the storyline in 3, the only thing with 4 that really bugs me is eagles swooping down and taking 10% of your health randomly and theres nothing you can do about it.

  11. Has anyone else lost the better part of the last week or so to Fallout 4? Im 3 days 7 hours down and have been far too busy looting everything, (literally Ive kept one of every item Ive come across except *spoiler alert* burnt books and burnt textbooks as they are the only objects Ive found in the game that have no value in any way shape or form and sold or crafted the rest) and Im still scratching the surface of the game, if anyone needs me I'll be roaming around the wastelands of Boston!
