I would probably be further in it or even done with it but the version Impulse installs won't patch for some reason (it would help if they didn't bypass the launcher so anyone else even knew what I was talking about, or if they'd uploaded the patched version to Impulse.)

I bought it for the PS3 because it seemed to be right up my street. Post apolocalyptic survival in an urban environment almost always seems like a cool game setting for me. Sadly I found myself getting too frustrated with how linear it was. Yahtzee's review pretty much covered the main points for me: The illusion of having to spare your ammo for when you would need it when in reality you didn't really get a choice, and the climbing mechanic which started out sounding like a great idea but quickly just became a pausing point throughout the gameplay.

Maybe I'll try it again, but a final problem I had were the controls. If you start from the beginning then it's ok, but after you've put it down for a while I've found that I can't remember a thing about the control system.

I am Alive can blow me. It doesn't hold all the auto-saves. This blows. Anyone have or know of a cheat/trainer that I can force saves?

Haven't played it yet so I can't help you with specifics, but I backup my saves manually for games that have retarded save systems, like Far Cry 3 for example.

I like him. A quick 5 minute review of a game, and a majority of the time if it's a game that I own I find myself agreeing with his points. I Am Alive is one of those games.

I like Yahtzee, his reviews are generally quick and humourous, and somehow he manages to cover 90% of game issues (positive & negative). I don't watch them regularly enough, I much prefer to watch them for entertainment purposes in one long stoner session than watching one at a time.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
