Second time I'm going to play through it yet again with a official walkthrough (ordered an LE of it) - just to make sure I have played through the game and gotten every item and hidden something :p

First time will be all me of course :D

After the Install between acts, do you need to press a button to continue or does it just keep going once installed?

( So you don't miss anything while you are getting a drink or taking a leak )

You have to push start to continue. Once it's done loading, it stays on the 3D snake until you do.

The game's been made well in consideration for people wanting to take a break and/or running off for 5 minutes. You won't miss anything.

Every cutscene is also pausable.

Amazon U.S. website down

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Online retailer Amazon.com Inc said its U.S. website was down for about 2 hours on Friday and it was unclear when service would be restored in full.

A spokeswoman for Amazon said the site was unavailable starting at around 13:25 a.m. EDT, but declined to specify the cause.

Users in the United States who tried signing onto the popular portal saw a message saying the service was unavailable.

Amazon's international sites, such as amazon.co.jp, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de, were not affected, nor were its Web services, the spokeswoman said. Two hours after the outage, some users were able to access the site intermittently.

Internet content delivery company Akamai Technologies Inc, which counts Amazon among its customers, has had no problems with its network on Friday, said Akamai spokesman Jeff Young.

Amazon shares fell 4.59 percent to close at $80.63 on the Nasdaq. Akamai shares fell 4.91 percent to $37.38.

LOL, their shares went down!

Nice screen Audio, Thanks!!!!, just one tiny question, when Act1 is over, does it mean that you are moving to a whole new level/area cuz 5 hours is A LOT

Yes

I might be playing this before the release date! MGS4 is in stock at Play.com as I'm typing this! My order status is currently at "Order Placed", so it's still at the first step. It shouldn't take that long to process payment anyway. I paid for it using my PlayFunds, and they took the ?39.99 as soon as I placed the order!:DD I've just gotta wait for them to send the "shipped" email, which will hopefully be tomorrow, if I'm lucky, so fingers crossed!

just to answer your question earlier why you have aus/nz copy audio as this seller whoever it is has obviously taken these off the production line and sold them as usually Aus/NZ PAL games are usually produced first when comes to production I believe of PAL games due to shipping time from production to the region here.

HUGE SPOILER!

So who had the balls to hover over this? Eh? I told you I wasn't going to post any big spoilers. I wonder who here trusts me then? *wink* *wink*

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
