Cable might not be available for a multitude of reasons.  Down where I live we have "Historical buildings" where building code actually denies people from making the changes to the building necessary to add in the infrastructure wiring (drilling holes everywhere).  It might just be that your landlord doesn't want a bunch of people coming in, tearing down walls and chasing cable throughout the building.  I'd talk with your landlord about it and find out why cable isn't available.

On the distance away from the hub thing, ISP's will put relay stations and things wherever they can, if they can't get to the center of the city (because real estate prices are usually their highest there), then they'll put them anywhere else they can and be done with it.  Then again that doesn't really make sense with DSL because you should be getting the full speed anyway.

XCOM is the god of screwing you over due to chance.  Continue at it is all I can say, and hope to god you get recruits with better aim over time.

Also get Mechs so you can falcon punch everything.  That's really the only option.

Damn, Mastah's rage is waaaaay more justified than my own rage.

All I did was buy the eighth and second book in a series instead of the first because the people who stuck labels on them covered up "Eighth book in the series."

My condolences, man.

False positives are such a glorious thing, though!

I hope mod makers get on it pretty quick, a harmless mod adding a couple of traits now crashes my game every time I try to boot with it.  I get far enough every time to choose my starting time and as soon as it is supposed to show the recommended starts it just instantly crashes.

Rather annoying, really.  I never even play as those characters.  I always make a character and grab a county somewhere and see how far I can get.

So does life itself, but you don't see people petitioning that.

Cigarettes and drugs are censored on TVs in Thailand, so it's hard to tell if the guy is smoking or if he's sucking a penis.

I've seen that in a couple of animes.  Someone lights up a cigarette and then suddenly a giant censor blots out half of the screen.  Most notably happened in Jojo's if I remember right.

Actually he is a ranger of Gondor stationed at the Black Gate.  There were outcasts who lived within Mordor who took one of the rangers into their fold because he married one of them and taught them how to wage war, but that was not Talion.  Talion killed a noble back in Gondor and took his wife, whom was pregnant with his child, with him to the Black Gate because Talion's father-in-law was nobility himself and cared for his daughter.

From the snippets I've gathered, Talion's father-in-law was actually supposed to be the one to go the Black Gate himself, but extenuating circumstances (murdering nobles) made him send Talion in his stead.  Which is how Talion ended up a Captain.  Game could do with a prequel so we could understand where we're at better.
