   If you're a PC gamer you're pretty much stuck with Windows. Linux and WINE have made great strides over the last few years but it's still nowhere close to becoming a full replacement.

   Have you tried asking other people? It seems presumptuous (and perhaps even arrogant) to believe everyone thinks a certain way just because you do.

   I've always loved BF games but with BF1 I've just kind of lost interest after about 12 hours of total play time. Not sure why but I just can't get motivated to actually play it. It was one of the few online games I played the

    Bioshock was such a step down in many respects compared to System Shock though. I wouldn't say it was deep at all. The most interesting part of that game is Rapture itself, the mnechanics and general gunplay just sucked honestly.

    There is a slim chance STALKER 2 will happen, as Sergey Grigorovich reopened GSC Gameworld in 2014, making Cossacks 3. When asked about STALKER he said that it is a possibility provided GSC can make a successful (and profitiable) go of it a

    Clearly I should have clarified that I played the game on the hardest difficulty, as I typically do with shooters. I didn't think to mention it because everyone I know that plays FPS games does that too.

    It's subjective. From my perspective (as a Brit) it's us that have been the petulant ones, demanding special treatment and opt-outs from this directive or that, then throwing a temper tantrum when we couldn't have our own way

    That is a condition that every EU member state abides by. Demanding special treatment and not getting it is not a failing of the EU, but of the UK.

    I'm British and I agree with everything he said. There is a very real pro-Monarchy, post-Empire resentment of anything not British among a large section of the British people. They might not say it out loud, but it's clear in the
