I never used it post-buff, but I'm sure it still sucks 3-toed sloth balls. I may need to fire up the PVR because I have footage of me shooting a guy in the back of the head point-blank and getting nothing but hit markers. IIRC the follow-up shot didn't kill him either. That's not lack of skill or lag, it's just the terribly inconsistent nature of the Executioner. As a sidearm, meh, whatever, (though I think dual KAP40s are 10x better in close quaters), but trying to use it as your one and only weapon is a nightmare of frustration. I realize that it's not intended as a primary, but that doesn't change the fact that every other pistol is better at it. (IMO of course)

No way, the Executioner is week old dung that's been rained on and is getting moldy.

The whole Painkiller album rips, I went with that just because it's my favorite track. I'm not fan of Priest either, but I love that record top to bottom.

What did they patch? I remember loving that gun and thinking that the M8 was a pile of day old dung.

Before I got a laptop with a number pad, I'd use a regular keyboard and lay it right on top of the laptop keyboard. Clunky, but it works. As a side note, I've actually come to prefer typing on low form factor laptop style keyboards.

I like gametrailers.com I've always found their reviews to be well-balanced and thorough. They're final scores aren't that useful since they all seem to be compressed to 7 for bad and 9.5 for OMFG with everything in-between. That said, if you watch or read the entire review they touch on all aspects of the game pointing out both the good and the bad.

To be fair, 2.7 is more in use presently, that's why codeacademy teaches it. That said, even though conversion has been slow, it's happening nonetheless. The logic still stands: Python 3 is the future so there's no reason to learn 2 unless you're working with an existing codebase that calls for it.

go here: http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/index.html There's also this, but I haven't actually gone through it as I have the one above. http://interactivepython.org/courselib/static/diveintopython3/index.html Also go here, be careful though, some of these are Python 2 and some are Python 3. https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers If and when you get to the point of wanting to use an IDE, the free version of PyCharm is excellent. http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ Cheers, have fun!

Straight and to the point, I like it. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

*stands and cheers* Speech, speech, speech!

The only thing I don't like about codeacademy is if you're learning Python, they teach version 2.7, not 3.x. Unless you're dealing with legacy code, Python 3 is the way to go.

When you're forty, you'll be glad of this trait.

Hi de ho neighbor

The forum is being a cunt and not letting me like Sennex's post.

Sorry to hear Dave *bro hug* My wife lost her mother when she was only 12 to breast cancer, then her father the year before I met her to lung cancer. I've lost three grandparents to cancer and my 45 year old brother in law. One of my best friends from college came down with thyroid cancer, then a few years later, his wife got breast cancer and they have two little children. They're both doing well though. It fucking sucks hairy, dirty, flee infested, scabby goat balls. But if there is one prick on this earth that can tell his wife's cancer to properly fuck off, it's you my friend.

Did you not see his review on page 2 of this thread? http://forevergaming.co.uk/index.php/topic/122-docs-firearms-thread/?p=4939

I'm a dabbler, not a professional, nor even an amateur. But... If you want to familiarize yourself with basic programming concepts and practices just to see if you like it, then I highly recommend this resource: http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/index.html I've done the whole course, including every practice exercise, twice. It's very, very good. If you register, you can save all your code snippets. There's nothing to download; the course provides space to write and run code from the browser. The language it teaches is Python 3 which is a very versatile language, though not hugely popular. The important thing though, is that it's a very easy language to learn and forces you to develop good programming habits. Its syntax is clean and easy to read, making it very friendly to beginners though no less powerful than other languages. If you know what you want to do, then you can consider learning a specific language: iPhone apps: Objective-C Android apps: Java 'Web' programming server-side: PHP, ASP.NET, Java, C/C++, Python, Ruby, etc. (depends on what back-end a website uses) 'Web' programming client-side: JavaScript Web design: CSS, HTML, JavaScript Video Games: C++, Java, C# (Microsoft) Database: SQL What's in demand? (Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this) http://mashable.com/2014/01/21/learn-programming-languages/ http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2014/02/picking-a-programming-language-python-and-java-still-top-the-charts/ https://www.udemy.com/blog/best-programming-language/ http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/career-management/best-programming-languages-to-learn-on-your-own-time/#. I've dabbled in Python, C++, {JavaScript, HTML, CSS} (grouped together because they all work together) and Fortran (many, many moons ago). There are tons of resources out there for each and every language.

Gah, double post

I gotta get to bed, but I'll offer some advice tomorrow. I'm not a pro, just a dabbler, so don't expect anything profound. >.<

That's a fine missus you have David, don't fuck it up. Oh, and happy birthday.
