calling bullshit on that one i've been to that memorial it isn't fenced off or anything and there are no employees there most of the time.
it's just a wall built into a hill on a field. it's an open area with no fences or other restrictions. i cant see how they can "close" this

They put up barricades around national parks.

It's concept art looks great but remember that a games' concept art doesn't ever translate well to actual gameplay.

It would probably help if they would get off the gamebryo engine too.

They've at least remedied the problem of gamebryo with Creation, Skyrim is nowhere near as unstable as Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Plus the landscape is quite a bit nicer. Here's a screenshot from Skyrim i made for a desktop background: [t]http://i.imgur.com/kGdwBx6.jpg[/t]

It's a restored photo, so certain areas are going to be in worse shape than others, theres a light shining directly onto the tattoo, and with it being a tattoo parlor everyone thats in there is smoking.
With that said, I don't know for a fact how much if it is real and how much of it isn't, and I'm not really going to bother to find out.

Did regular Heer ever mistreat Jews? It seems like that was more of a SS thing. Though I think regular Heer did mistreat Russians

Blaming the average soldiers that didn't even have a choice for what the leadership did is pretty wrong.
Math is so interesting but I just don't feel like studying it.
[QUOTE=robo126;42465157]How does that even work
I'm confused[/QUOTE]
Check the angles - they don't add up.
I'll focus on the second image. The red triangle is 8x3, the blue triangle is 5x2, and the entire triangle is 13x5. However, those are not all the same ratio - if you were to scale the red triangle to the same height as the full triangle, it would be 13.333x5, not 13x5. Similarly, scaling the blue one up gives you 12.5x5, not 13x5.
Look closely at the point where the blue, red and yellow shapes intersect before the transition. Note how after the transition, it is enclosed within the full triangle rather than being on the edge?
The shape formed by the four is not a triangle - there are actually four edges, it's just that two of them are at an angle very near to 180 degrees. By shifting that from concave to convex, the area increases by 1.
The same general principle applies to the other two - there is either a small overlap, or the entire shape increases in size slightly.

I was specifically talking about the concept art. And besides, a lot of the in-game environments they showed off look great as well. I wouldn't underestimate Bungie's environment artists, they can make some breathtaking scenes. Hell they make some of the greatest skyboxes I've seen in games. Period.
Obviously it won't be 1:1 with the concept art, but I have faith they'll make some great game spaces- its just what they do.

I mean given the places we've seen a quite bit of (Specifically Russia, and the Moon), I have a good feeling about the setting. And then there's plenty of great looking places we've only glimpsed in quick shots during the trailers. Top it off with awesome character and enemies designs and an incredible score by Marty O'Donnell to compliment it, it's gonna be a beautiful game.

I'd say its in good hands.

Speaking of FO4; Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't updated myself at all, how is it coming along? do we know anything about possible release dates or general progression?
AFAIK there's no info on it.
[QUOTE=PaChIrA;42464577]Did regular Heer ever mistreat Jews? It seems like that was more of a SS thing. Though I think regular Heer did mistreat Russians[/QUOTE]
They very well could have because of how much anti-jew propaganda Germany was running at the time, but it wasn't their primary objective like it was for the SS or Gestapo and any actual warcrimes they committed are completely dwarfed by the ones the SS went through with.
A lot of guys mistreated the Russians but thats mostly because anything the Russians did was 1,000x worse. The Russians were notorious for rapes when they pushed into Germany, especially when they made it into Berlin, and when they buried their own men they wouldn't even put their name on their graves, so how bad do you think they treated German bodies?
Soviet captivity was also worse than death. During the battle of Stalingrad and just afterwards, 110,000 German prisoners were taken. Once they were rounded up, they were sent on a death march to a labor camp; 75,000 prisoners died within 3 months. The remaining [i]5,000[/i] of the original 110,000 weren't allowed to go home until [i]1955[/i].
these are unnecessarily creepy. most (at least early gen ones) are based off real animals so why not use that as a base? the only one that looks fitting is scyther, the rest looks like it's trying too hard.
at least that's my opinion.
[editline]9th October 2013[/editline]
i mean the fact that i can't recognize the pokemons right off the bat means that he didn't do a good job at portraying existing characters on his own rendition. but again that's my opinion.
Yeah it only works when it looks believable.

They just look like the artist is trying way too hard to make them disturbing. What the fuck is up with some of them, especially wobbuffet? They look NOTHING like the actual pokemons
