Ya they really need to fix that! I actually gave in at around chapter 8 and plugged in my wired 360 controller. After playing with it for a few hours there is no going back to the horrible mouse/keyboard issues this game has.

Also, for some reason, the game very often equips me with alcohol in the primary slot after a weapon runs out, leading me to chug a few before I can equip a new one. Very twatty indeed.

edit: though, this could potentially be due to me doing something wrong or not understanding the game well.

They help you get smashed before getting killed so it doesn't hurt as much.

Illegal or ill-gotten?

I finally figured out why it kept doing that.

If you hold the "F" key down to pick up an item, even if for a brief period of time, it replaces the current slot with the new item, which included alcohol. If you just tap the key, it picks it up (and any other item) and just throws it in your inventory.

I always wondered about this. I use to play WoW with an Australian guild and I believe the majority of them, if not all, had monthly caps for their internet usage. If you had a cap and this problem would occur, are you pretty much screwed and have to wait for the next month if you're about to hit the cap or maybe pay some absurd fee for going over?

Depends on the plan & the ISP, very few of them charge you by the meg now unless you request it, I suspect that they were getting into trouble and losing customers over it. Most of the time you're slowed to somewhere around 256kb/s but some still shape you to 65kb/s, neither of them is really practical for using the net nowdays, the 256 is borderline okay but with 64 you can't even load gmail before it times out

Ah, thank you for the quick and informative reply! Much appreciated!

Its not there mate :)

Indeed, i have a 40gb cap and i have gone over it a few times.

Funny thing is they sent me a letter to tell me if i didn't stop they would cap my internet but they sent it like a month later so i didn't know and had already gone over the limit in the next month aswell.

I still really dislike how sneaky ISPs can be, i have an 'Unlimited' Package but of course that nasty thing called 'Fair Usage Policy' is included which means a flat 40gb limit between 5pm-12am. I'm not sure if it's unlimited outside of those hours but i really don't want to test it and end up getting slowed down again.

This totally came to me as a surprise. I totally wasn't expecting countries like United Kingdom to have such archaic internet services available :o

Is Dead Island worth getting for someone who loved Dead Rising 2?
I've been to 3 shops today and they don't have the retail PC version yet, however the PS3 version is sitting there on the shelves. Not sure if that's a sign that I should not get the game.

I'd say yes, also good for people who liked borderlands

Damn this shit, I got the game from GMG with the $10 credits I had over there, paid US$32 for it and then realised they have run out of keys and have to probably wait at least 3 days for it........ Might as well I get the boxed version after 3 days. Steam pricing is retarded, and I'm not about to spend an extra $10 for the Steam version when I get the box version for that $10 less.
