Fuel Open World Paragraph

The size of Fuel's open world is truly astounding. Let's take a look at some popular recent open world games and compare. Fallout 4 comes in at 43 square miles. GTA 5 is 49 square miles. The Witcher 3 just about doubles those to at 84 square miles. Just Cause 3 goes to 400 square miles. How much bigger do you think Fuel is??? Believe it or not, it is 5,560 square miles!! I can't believe how tiny it makes other games seem. It could fit like 10 Just Cause 3's inside it with room to spare!! And it all really is one giant functioning area. Unbelievable.

e-mail blog

Ryan, you have infected me. The other day I was listening to another podcast and they were talking about a MOBA. Instantly, I said "MOOBAA, DOOTTAA" out loud in a droning voice. Good thing I was alone in my car and not in public.
Nick, I would like to formally request more board game talk, as I am playing board games regularly now.

Thank you, - Justin

Hi Tom and Eric, I have a question. I've recently started playing boardgames at a few friendly local game stores, and I want to support them financially. I use their facilities for free week after week so I figured it's only fair that I try to buy my games there. The problem is they are a lot more expensive than online retailers. I was expecting to pay more than online, but it's kind of ridiculous how much more they are sometimes. For example, I just bought Heavy Steam for almost $30 more than I could have gotten it on Cool Stuff. That's a lot of dough. I also am trying to stick to a board game budget, which incentivizes me to go for the best deal possible. But the store is often the worst deal possible. Should I just bite the bullet and pay the extra $$$ to support the store? Or is it ok to freeload in the store without patronizing it? Or should I do a little of both? Thanks for any advice you can give.

Excel Tips

In LibreOffice Calc to get a random cell between cells B3 and B9 of Sheet1 you can do:
=INDEX(Sheet1.B3:B9, RANDBETWEEN(1,5))




As the following screenshot shows, you have a range of data from A1 to A15, the Rand and Index formula can help you display the random cells in a new column. Please do as follows:
doc-select-cells-randomly1
1. In the adjacent cell such as B1, enter the formula =RAND(), and press the Enter key, then copy the formula to the cell B15. And the random values will be filled with the cells. See screenshot:
doc-select-cells-randomly2
2. Then in the next cell over, in this case cell C1, enter the formula =INDEX($A$1:$A$15,RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$15)).
doc-select-cells-randomly3
3. Then press Enter key, and select the cell C1, drag the fill handle to cover as many cells as desired selections. And random 5 cells of range A1:A15 have been displayed in the column C. See screenshot:
doc-select-cells-randomly4
