Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: Actually, there's an explicitly-stated context in the opening five minutes. It's just that we're so used to ignoring it in games that we skip over the context to shoot people. For example, they explain Konrad is a soldier who went to Dubai to keep the peac ....


Comment preview: I've found the most enjoyable stuff to not be the structured side missions but rather the more natural events that occur in the open world. For example: You're wandering through the jungle, you hear a tiger roaring and people screaming. You follow the soun ....


Comment preview: I've been the sniper in that type of situation before. On the inside: * "Ohshitoshitoshitoshit, that guy is going to get to them, shit he's going to shoot them why didn't I see the guy before, why the fuck did I offer to do this, god damn that tree is in m ....


Comment preview: That was a fun shoot That was back in the days when we did these really nutty entrances with the votes. We did shoot in the Amazon. We brought in a jetski and I raced out of there with the votes. Then we went to NYC and I rode the jetski on the Hudson ....


Comment preview: I agree, but I'd go even further. On Reddit in particular it's insane how frequently you see expert opinion offered - in comparison to real life that is. And I don't just mean "doctor here, I agree" I mean an in depth discussion of what is clearly their pr ....


Comment preview: This is similar to what Columbine should have been. The intention of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold wasn't to just commit a school shooting. They made multiple 20 pound bombs. 2 of which they brought into the cafeteria which were supposed to detonate at 11: ....


Comment preview: I don't consider myself a "survivor", but when I was in high school there was a shooting at the middle school just down the road. The whole school system went into lockdown. At first no one knew what was going on. I remember a girl in my class making a jok ....


Comment preview: I use my solo style to encourage less KoS. People are less likely to shoot you if you're alone and talkative Or, even better, I fuck with my group of friends (story time): My friends and I had just gotten on for a session, I was at "Cherno Exfil" which is ....


Comment preview: I've been preparing for this for years. I use mental exercises like this to help me go to sleep. The "empty world" scenario is one of the most interesting. 1. Search the current city thoroughly to make sure it really is empty. I'm not psychic. 2. Save some ....


Comment preview: LMFAO. Are you serious. Earily this year while on the HUNT for a big black guy. (stature and skin color are importnat here) The LAPD shot at two small mexican [LADIES](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/07/lapd-shooting-at-innocent-people_n_2638701.html ....


Comment preview: Here are some excerpts from the [Wiki article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II#Allied_attitudes) on Japenese POWs during WWII: >US forces were generally unwilling to accept the surrender of Japanese during the firs ....


Comment preview: I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but here are some excerpts from the [Wiki article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II#Allied_attitudes): >US forces were generally unwilling to accept the surrender of Ja ....


Comment preview: **Up:** hardcore gunplay/gameplay super satisfying to see someone drop from a distance because you're an awesome sniper and when they die it's nothing flashy, they just drop and die.. kind of realistically. and sometimes (depending on the server/gamemode ....


Comment preview: A is for America B is for Bitch, like a commie C is for commie D is for dirty commie E is for even dirtier commie F is for freedom, which commies dont believe in G is for god, who hates all commies H is for hell, where all commies go I is for the ignorance ....


Comment preview: This place should tell a story. As you approach: **Surrounding area** * **The outside should obviously seem like the last stand was made here** * There should be bodies all over the place, scores of infected that were shot down as they crawled out of the w ....


Comment preview: [News story](http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57476379/mass-shooting-at-batman-premiere-in-denver-suburb-suburb-aurora-colorado/). The article has almost no information, so I'll give as much info as I get. ---- Live updates from the [police scanner](htt ....


Comment preview: I work as a zombie for a zombie survival experience in an abandoned mall. The experience is in 2 halves; the first half being the scripted 'movie' experience and the second half being the skirmish where the survivors are let out into the mall to find suppl ....


Comment preview: Yes. It's my greatest fear. Most survivors of death describe it as "peaceful", but at what cost is peace when you have to leave all of your loved ones and memories behind? I believe that when you die, that is it. The void. Eternal darkness *until the end o ....


Comment preview: It's very difficult to explain this mentality to someone standing on the outside looking in. I wasn't in Boston and, from my point of view most of what you're saying seems like a reasonable critique. But I was in Blacksburg, VA on April 16, 2007 and my wif ....


Comment preview: The shooting took place over 5 years, and from the beginning the filmmaking process was a dialogue between myself, survivors, the human rights community, and my wonderful Indonesian team. Our choices grew out of dialogue, and the commitment to the project ....


Comment preview: So wait, if you shoot the guy who is HIGHLY likely to be infected, no matter what you do two of your team go nuts and leave randomly and condemn you to die? How is that logical, or the consequences of your own actions? Even if you shoot the wounded guy or ....


Comment preview: She does but I don't think it's appropriate to actually say that. After all she isn't posing for a pic to look hardcore on Facebook. She's probably tired, afraid, malnourished and very likely in a state of shock due to the trauma of her experiences. The lo ....


Comment preview: Everything not literally bolted to the ground would shoot up into the air due to the centrifugal forces created by the earths angular momentum (The fact that it is spinning). Everyone would most likely die, the atmosphere and ocean would make an honest att ....


Comment preview: Continued from above... And it was. He had my mates DMR, his NVG, even down to the same number of mags. By this time my mate was nearby, running north after spawning once again outside Kamenka. While fixing the car I saw him crest the hill south of town an ....


Comment preview: First of all, so sorry this happened to you! It must have been incredibly frightening. A word of advice about firearms (from a woman who is a survivor of sexual assault, pretty pro-gun, and teaches women to shoot): A gun is affirmatively not going to help ....
