Are you completely undetected? Or are they alert? If you're actively jogging about, they will hear you. Also, don't waste your money on the x-ray vision augment. Your minimap is just fine. Just put more points into that.

A) The game is pretty easy, even as a ghost pacifist hacker. I'm already gotten what I wanted and now I'm buying things like parachute.

B)I'm glad I did get X-ray, otherwise I would have never known the guards were in the walls, because the mini map doesn't show where they are (in the wall) but shows them next to the wall.

C)I was able to take some of them down by save spamming. There are very small areas that allow me to take down the guard by noclip through the wall and doing the take down animation. Guess when the guards turned off collision detection, they turned it off for everyone. Just in this one area though.

Selling some TF2 weapons for one weapon apiece if anyone's interested. I'd also be willing to buy a boston basher or a strange scattergun off someone if anyone's selling.

Okay, so greasemonkey is the addon, not sure I actually explained that. There are versions for chrome. What these do, is they allow you to run javascript clientside, so you can change a web page.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...jmpbldmpobfkfo
That's the first result for "Greasemonkey chrome". That should work.

I'm interested in your Baby Face Blaster, Scorch Shot, Man Melter. Perhaps we can arrange something? My profile is in my signature.

All aboard the defenestration initiation station!

(BTW, there's a bunch of good deals for games on Amazon Game Downloads right now, as their "end of summer" sale).

Okay, I saw your post, went "eh, meh, sounds cool" and then saw the preview in Google Reader (via PC Gamer) and went "zomg I have to have this game."

MUST HAVE

The art style kind of reminds me of Tropico 2 actually.

It also saves you a lot of effort (dodging two mobile sentries, a half-dozen guards, and four-plus security cameras, all on a very small walkway area in Shanghai. Doing so also gives you some loot.

So yeah, it's worth it.

Really good RTS games are so few and far between that I predict that an RTS sold entirely on "Atmosphere" will in fact be awful, no matter how psyched I am for the concept.

Hello everyone! How many of you play Blacklight? How many of you have expressed a desire for a ChHa or GitP clan in Blacklight, but balked at the $10 price?

Well fear no more, clans are half price right now, and even better, I am willing to go to bat and make the clan happen. I'm just a little tight on cash though, so I am hoping I can get a couple people to pitch in a dollar or two to help out. If four people put in $1, (or two put in $2) via paypal, I'll be able to make this happen.

Anyone? PM me.

What is Blacklight exactly? I see on steam that retribution is Free to play and it looks freaking awesome!

It's a first person shooter. Honestly, I'm not too thrilled with it, though I think that's mainly from my computer being bad enough that I can't really play: from my view I'm emptying whole clips of ammunition into people without them dying, and I'm dying to only a few bullets.

Oh, I could tell that it FPS. But what I don't know is where the $10 Volitar mention comes from when its free to play?

I've never even looked at the game, so I might be wrong, but it sounded like the money is for an in-game guild startup fee.

It's a free to play high lethality FPS with an aesthetic often compared to DX:HR and really nice graphics (DX11 support!). I love it.

They make money by selling cosmetic stuff and faster access to side grade weapons and equipment. It's the Tribes: Ascend F2P model with a few improvements. Clans are among those cosmetic things they charge for.
