    This is something I meant to bring up early but forgot. I don't see the US being stupid enough to actively send a bomb that would disable a nuclear warhead site without provocation first and plenty of intel on the situation in Iran.

    I don't see what use it could be unless it was used to disable the site in an invasion, so as not to allow MAD (Mutually Assured destruction, basically all the world's nukes being sent against each host country) to commence. It would also mean the site is possibly harvestable after an occupation retrieving said nukes and adding them to their arsenal. To use it now, it would provoke a political breakdown with Iran, sparking acts of terrorism and retaliation on a war scale. If MAD is in place, it wouldn't matter taking out one nuclear warhead facility you'd have to use them in all the politically aligned allies of Iran as well, that's potentially hundreds of operational MOP bombs used in missions. Not worth it...yet.

    I just love that this is a final farewell tot he last three games, you see all the squad mates that got you through it and go on a last mission before the end. So glad we are getting something like the Citadel DLC.
    Citadel Secret archives.... hmmm, I have a number of ideas of what's in there. TONS OF FORNAX, OH YEAH!!!
    Interesting, thank god the release date is soon.

    Meanwhile the multiplayer content is continuing strong, which is great to see so much content for free, I don't think that's ever been done before for any other multiplayer released! Wish some of the guns in their were available in the Single player game though.

    This game is my most favoured game in the future, literally over anything else. I'd be tempted to buy a PS4 just if the best version of this game was one there! XD

    If anyone knows the TV series 'Person of Interest' (seriously watch it, it's good) then you'll probably tell the major similarities in this game and that show. It's a great concept, being able to remotely hack a city and use it to your advantage, in a modern day setting that deals with the issues of social media and the idea of a 'Big Brother' always watching and monitoring you. This thing is a god send with how old formulas are being used with new, original ideas.

    I saw in the trailer a battery bar for the phone, with each hack slightly draining the power, so I don't think we can just spam hacks all day as nice as it would be, so there is some challenge and strategic use for your phone. The parkour looks very good and the locale is just perfect for this kind of environment. The MC also looks to be a 'Robin Hood' vigilante kind of character, stealing from the rich, stopping crimes before they happen,. I man this doesn't seem like a cop killer game that GTA might be portrayed as. Though it would be even better would be if they introduced a morality system of choices whether you kill cops to escape or not, whether to kill the criminal instead of chase them down, a lot of interesting choices could be made in this.

    I can not recommend keeping an eye on this this thing highly enough.

    Deep Down

    If that really was in game engine stuff and inventory swapping, i'm impressed. One ups Skyrim.

    It's the ending that intrigues me most. Is it a meta game, or is it showing off multiplayer possibility in this game. Either would be interesting. Actually this could very much be a Dragon's dogma type of thing, but instead of just Pawns you have real players as companions taking down monsters. Now that would be fun.

    So effectively, it's the male, Nix's game.

    I would've preferred to have Cole and Zeke back, oh well. I at least hope the powers will develop more than just some fire and smoke attacks, lightning at least had a lot of application in the environment, smoke.... has some good ones but not quite as powerful or relevant in my mind as electrical currents.

    It's quite a common tactic to use explosives to destroy the infrastructure of your enemy, since it's pretty much the only thing that can quickly and effectively destroy buildings and so on. A tactic used in the middle east during missions involving caves, if you want a modern example, is the use of projectile explosives to destroy cave entrances, funnelling enemy troops to only one location of exit of their choosing in order to kill them in a more efficient manner, or similar to this nuke facility, that they block and allow the people inside to die.

    The fallout from the radiation would destroy the eco system of the area, seeping into the soil, destroying crops and livestock that live there, as well as human population, whilst also killing all the people inside the facility anyway. It really is thee worst outcome.
    A lot of factors are taken into consideration, factors from a logistical, political, ecological, economical, cultural, ethical, weather, and many other factors and how they would be affected. Strategists over the millennia and before assess situations and plan accordingly. Usually these people pick the 'best' outcome. But remember this is the best outcome for themselves, their needs and wants. It's not always beneficial for the enemy. However, very rarely are all your enemies heartless and cruel, most of the time they're just like me and you.

    It's the choice, I find, of handling the responsibility of taking a life. If you don't regret, feel guilt, you're pretty much the psychotic serial killer we fear, just with a string of medals and plenty of victims to choose from. The mentality is wrong, you need to suffer for taking a life, more to deter random violence than simply to make people feel bad. If no one cares that they might regret or be held responsible, who else will account for you? If you can't account for yourself, then.... idk, it's terrible.
    War is still needed, but there are ways of waging it with the minimal catastrophe attributed to it. But people don't consider alternatives, they see missiles, guns, bombs as the only way and look for no alternative. How else do we overthrow corrupt governments, stop injustice and exploitation, conquer genocide. Sometimes war is unavoidable, it is the wagers that choose the civility of it.

    I'd google about it, usually thee listing can be found on some music websites or on Wikipedia.

    Where did you read this from? An article? Can we have a look?
    In the mean time: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/mopping-up-the-usas-30000-pound-bomb-03172/
    A little bit of background.

    Not sure what's surprising about this exactly. Bunker buster, dam buster, now MOP bomb, the use of explosives to destroy fortified positions has been evolving continually since we were able to deploy them reliably and accurately. The way to deploy a deadly bomb is crucial in a battle, it can mean failure or success if you can gain a slight advantage. So this isn't surprising, I expect to see more complex or mobile bombs in the future.
    In terms of being enough to destroy access to and from this facility, and as a result slowly killing the inhabitants, I'd say that's the safest way to disable the facility almost permanently without possibly triggering a nuclear fallout, explosion, etc, and damaging the surrounding area. tactically, it's a sound strategy, ethically it's terrible, but still the 'best' outcome. Least amount of negatives and loss of life.

    This is about as barbaric as the rest of modern war I have seen. All war is terrible. Torture, murder, exploitation, imprisonment, ones is not less terrible than the other, they are all terrible. Honestly I hate what war is now, it's such a simple affair to kill people, there is no guilt anymore, no accountability. You fly a drone with an Xbox controller, aim and fire a rocket or machine gun killing with ease, no danger to yourself and so distant from the battlefield it is nothing but game of COD. This bomb as well, it's impersonal, far away, no risk and no stress. You can kill brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters just by driving to work, going into the office and ordering the hit in a paper format submission box. It's barbaric to me, to be removed from the situation, to not be stressed and worried about asking yourself is it right to take this persons life. It's mindless senseless, wrong, there is no good decision made from it.

    If it makes it any better, the ones who are slowly being gassed are individuals underground who facilitate and develop nuclear war heads to kill tens of thousands. Probably does nothing, but some people feel better attributing evil traits onto people when there lives are ended.

    "Lying is trouble, stop doing it you little wanker"

    Though honestly I'd just say:
    "Do everything the same."
    He'd say:
    "What?"
    I'd go: "Exactly past PaW, you'll be asking that question a lot of time to come."
    "What?"
    "And you'll also get to know someone by that name too."
    "The fuk?"
    "HIM TOO!"

    Well this made my night.

    Shame but was a good run I'd say.

    College

    It's honestly not the end of the world. I failed to get into uni twice, first with failing grades, so I had to retake a year and the second time when the uni I had spent years pursuing to get into which resulted me being an unemployed bore and rain on my parents. I felt terrible to have failed life so badly, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, I cried and worried about it a lot t the time, having no success in your goals is really frightening.
    I wasn't sure what my future held, I was depressed, everything looked like it was going to be terrible in the future whilst I was in that mood. Honestly, all I did at that point was charge through. I was unemployed for months and took the first job that came to me. I enjoyed it, or at lest appreciated it, and what it did with my life. It made me want to try for uni again, look for a new one, the old ambition could stuff it after rejecting me for so long.
    And so I did, here I am just over a year later, at uni, enjoying my time and my course, doing well on it.

    Things change, quicker then we realise. All it takes is bit of effort in. You want to continue college, do it. Do better next time, you'll feel better for tackling your problems and overcoming them. If you're parents aren't supportive of your ambitions and dreams then ignore their advice, it's not helpful to be surrounded by negativity. Don't mull over your boyfriend, you have some feelings for him still i'm guessing, talk to someone about it close to you, or talk to him. You need to put it to rest an feel better from it.

    It's a matter of pushing through and doing the best you can in the state your in. Never give up, you know your depressed and in a bad mood. It will pass. Push through, you can do it. And if you need to talk, we're here! : )
