Oh yeah, plenty of good female villians

playstation network costs now? how much?

"As of Saturday, FEMA has delivered approximately 1 million liters of water from its distribution centers in Cumberland and Frederick, Maryland, to the area for use by the state," the agency said. "FEMA will continue to deliver supplies to the state for distribution, as needed." (reference here) So, 300,000 people without water, 1,000,000 Liters delivered. That's just over 3 liters per person. Does that sound like it will help much?

LMAO! good one

I can't take the suspense!

69 Rumor: ‘Ignition’ map from Onslaught DLC could be a remake of MW2′s ‘Scrapyard’ map

I thought Studio felt bigger for some reason. I am ok with re-skins (like they did with Dome vs Strikezone) they are two totally different maps. Only the layout is the same. But with Studio, its more of a Redo of the same map. Ignition will be the map layout is the same but I'm sure it will feel totally different and if you weren't told it was a reskin, you probably wouldn't have guessed it. I didn't think that of Strikezone either; it didn't make me think of Dome. But with that being said, the whole purpose of doing this is to save time and money. Nothing more. Or even to get people to think, hey Scrapyard is coming back, buy the DLC. Again; money.

That's what I've been saying about IW. They cut corners everywhere. Reuse old ideas. It's total garbage.

by the way, the Ignition map, is probably a re-skin of Scrapyard.

It was fun at first, still is sort of ok, but since its the only game I play on xbox, and my membership is about to have to be renewed, I don't feel like paying for another year just to play it. So I'm not sure what I will do.

I agree. The greed is now obvious. Minimal work for maximum return. Everything is like this these days. Once a business gets all powerful, they cut corners everywhere they can to maximize profits. I don't understand.

I'm looking forward to them introducing Abraham. He's an interesting character in the comicbook. In a recent interview, showrunner Scott Gimple admitted that next eight episodes of The Walking Dead will be a thematic departure from what has come before, possibly including flashbacks: “The back half of the season has a wildly different structure to it. It’s a very different set of stories, and it’s very unlike the first half of the season. I can’t say without giving stuff up, but it’s very different. The same story priorities apply; there’s a lot of character exploration but in a very different way. In some ways, the story moves quicker but in a really different manner. As soon as you see the first episode, you’ll figure out why and how. Episode 10 [the second one in February] has a super unusual structure that I’m very excited for people to see. It’s very different than the first half.” As far as the overlap, or not, with the events portrayed in the comic, Gimple said that “There’s going to be a lot of familiar stuff, brand-new stuff and remixed stuff. There are some things where you will totally know them and hopefully be expecting them, and then there will be stuff that’s brand-new that you have no idea if it’s coming but it will circle around to moments from the comic.” Gimple also revealed that the banished Carol (Melissa McBride) will reappear “sooner or later” in season 4. For Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Beth (Emily Kinney), in addition to new physical surroundings, they will move “into very uncharted emotional waters” because of the death of their dad Hershel (Scott Wilson). We’ll also finally find out who was feeding rats to the zombies at the prison fence. In a separate set of Walking Dead spoilers, the ComicBook.com website claims that as far as stand-alone episodes, both Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) will carry at least one episode by themselves. Also, one of the main cast members who is still alive in the comic book will be killed off by season’s end in a “real shocker.” Read more at http://www.inquisitr.com/1091254/the-walking-dead-spoilers-showrunner-scott-gimple-drops-more-hints-about-whats-next/#2lzL7BBgKGajB2Qo.99

This game was very gimmicky. Character customization, "destructible" environments, and "OMG New game types!" - that aren't really new at all. They are just old game types cut in half (Blitz is half of Capture the Flag for example. I'd rather have CTF). And nobody even bothers to "blow up" the environment anymore anyway. It's not useful. Character customization is just as silly; useless. I'll be buying Bf4 on Ps4 when I get my tax check.

The only problem with IED's is you can't avoid them sometimes (like going prone on bouncing betties) If they would make the delay timer just a little bit longer, you could survive sometimes and that would be just fine for balance.

It's ok. I'm used to the Crappy Spawns now and just using them to spawn rape people. Might as well, I'm getting raped too. It's pretty silly. Just run to a spawn point and like magic a guy appears!

I have been looking forward to watching this show. Has anyone seen it yet? From the sound of it, I think it might have that vibe similar to the movie The Thing. I'm not sure if this link will play them or not, since its blocked at work for me right now. http://www.sidereel.com/helix/season-1 According to the SyFy Channel press release, "Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic, Arctic Biosystems, to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation. However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg, and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel."

If you like Walking Dead as much as me, you might enjoy this guy's channel. He posts videos about Walking Dead on all kinds of subjects and theories about what is coming (including the comic series)

EMERGENCY LIGHTING Many do not anticipate the amount of light sources needed for an emergency, let alone for a long-term emergency. In a previous newsletter, it was suggested to stock up on flashlights and matches for a short-term disaster to get by in an emergency where the electricity has been turned off. Practicing energy conservation measures during that time can also help prolong your light sources. However, if you find yourself in an emergency where the lights go out permanently, being able to sustain yourself for a longer-term scenario requires a more permanent means of producing light. Some are turned off by the idea of attracting unwelcome attention to themselves by having light in the home during a longer-term emergency. Further, powering up a loud generator to turn the lights on may also draw attention to the homestead. That being said, if you are concerned with this issue, take special precautions ahead of time. Black out curtains can easily solve this issue. Plan to have a means of emergency light for not only getting around in the dark, but for essential rooms that will need to be illuminated. Rooms used for food preparation and even for medical/triage reasons will need to have lots of light to help treat any serious medical issues that occurs, especially at night. Developing your survival skills and investing in preparedness supplies and know-how can help put you ahead in the survival game. Here are a few suggestions of emergency light sources to invest in for a longer-term disaster: Lumin Aid Inflatable Solar Light / Pillow Pretty Nifty http://www.luminaid.com/shop/ Candles – It is recommended to have candles for an emergency. Consider these 100 hour candles from beprepared.com You can even use candles to make space heaters - demonstration/instructoins HERE Solar lighting – Solar lights would be an efficient alternative to having light. Solar garden lighting can also be used as an alternative means to producing light. Solar garden lights can be purchased for as low as $1 at the Dollar stores and can be used as a torch (the solar panel/LED top can be unscrewed to be used as a night light), or could be altered to provide overhead lighting. In the morning, take it out to a sunny area to recharge. Get creative! Flash lanterns would also be a great product to look into, if this is the means of light you prefer. Purchasing solar panels to use to light and power the home is an expensive investment that could pay itself off especially in al long-term scenario. These panels would be an amazing purchase for those interested in going off-grid. Keep in mind that solar cells are very fragile, and because of the fragility of solar equipment, it would be wise to invest in replacement parts for any solar materials purchased. Remember: two is one, one is none. Fuel powered light sources – Gas powered lamps and overhead lighting are also available for those interested in a more off-grid solution. Bear in mind that additional fuel will need to be stored in order to provide light. Hurricane lanterns can be purchased at outdoor stores, but can also be found at garage sales, or donation centers such as the Salvation Army for a fraction of the cost. Remember to invest in extra parts and fuel for these types of light sources. Rendered animal fats – If you find yourself with no means of producing light, tallow can be made from rendered animal fats. Note the smell tallow emits may not be what you expect, but it will do the job it is intended to do (Rendered animal fats can also be a means of producing alternative fuel for certain engines). Further, re-using fats from foods can also be used as a stand in for your normal fuel. For a more in depth review of bush craft lighting, click here. Light from water – That’s right, you can light your home using a clear soda bottle and clean water. The light it emits is comparable to a 50 watt light bulb. You can see the amazing video here. Night vision goggles – Investing in a pair of night vision goggles would be good not only for perimeter security, but also helpful in other situations where you do not want to draw any attention to yourself. The price of night vision tools vary from $250-$500. Night vision scopes are also available for rifles and could be an advantage for hunting. In online reviews, it was mentioned that some service members who used the night vision binoculars have said they prefer the monocular version. Because of the mass manufacturing of this product ensure that where you buy is from a reputable dealer. Generally speaking, the American lifestyle is largely dependent upon the power grid. When the grid goes down, our population’s Achilles’ heal will be exposed. With our inability to function in a realm without power coupled with the extreme stressful nature of disasters and emergencies, it can be a large antagonizer for chaos and unwelcome encounters with the unprepared. The following list is meant to be a comprehensive list of suggestions you should have in your preparedness supplies. My personal feelings are the more supplies, the better. And let’s not forget that the following items would make good bartering items. Find which items would benefit your family the most and invest in those. Preps To Buy: Long lasting candles Hurricane lamps Hanging lanterns battery powered,solar and/or gas powered Flashlight – hand cranked, solar, battery powered, or LED Solar garden lighting Light sticks Matches and water proof types Cigarette lighters Strobe light – as a signaling device Head lamps Extra glass mantels for lamps Extra candle wicks Extra propane or fuel Extra batteries for flashlights, lanterns and head lamps Solar panels Solar chargers Battery chargers Black out curtains Night vision goggles

Well isn't it interesting that they limit the maps on Cranked (because they know they are so big, you'll be running around trying to find someone and run out of cranked time before doing so). Take a note developers, other game modes aren't fun for the SAME reason!

Update on Chemical Spill. And this should be a good exercise in witnessing how well FEMA handles disasters (since they did so well with Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy). Most people just think the Gov will save them when disaster strikes. Let's see how good they do. Also of note; I just wanted to point out that this has something to do with the Coal Industry. Obama has been waging a war on Coal during his administration. Obama made clear in his speech last Summer that he intends to impose regulations on existing coal plants that can only be met through carbon capture and storage (technology that doesn’t exist on a commercial scale), switching to natural gas, or shutting down completely. Could this have something to do with changing public perception about the safety of Coal? Maybe but it's probably nothing. I just try to think of all angles when contemplating situations. And if we see a roll out of Mainstream Media pushing the story that Coal is unsafe, then we'll have our answer. "mad dash....pandemonium" Please consider how people behave when they are trying to survive and plan accordingly by following the outlines in this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wqooygafyU
