I'm convinced some of my probs with New Vegas are soundcard issues. 50% of the time when it fails and I reload the point it failed on had some stupid bloody sound. Usually more than one sound happening at once. Ever noticed how merchants trades can trigger several noises at once?

You can't be serious, Malc. Balls? Diving into a flooded river to is using your balls. Urinating on your team, when you're being paid 200k a week is what I believe is technically known as "being a moronic ****".

Despite my high pitched girlish whining I'm relieved to note that I am at least still more of a man than Carlos Tevez.

Man, I actually feel worse today. I coughed so much last night my teeth started hurting. After giving it much consideration I would say that I feel exactly as if my immune system were being run by Libyans. Both sides. In a UN brokered power sharing agreement. I know I'm still not even a fraction asw sick as the real men on the forum. But you'll have to forgive me for feeling as bad I have felt in years. I haven't had any proper sleep in days. FFS someone slap me and tell me to calm down.

True. I could kind of see him playing the role. He likes playing good guys, IMO.

Life imitating art: Al Qaeda warn Ahmedinejad to stop denying 9/11

Truth. It's like a using a F1 car to deliver pizza.

One of my charcters, working for NCR as a bit of a renegade, but they paid best... saw a ranger with authority sunglasses, tried to pickpocket them, couldn't so just upped and shot him dead. Reputation had been so high that not a single soldier went for his gun. Awesome.

What baffles me, until I remember that most game studios aren't based in the UK, is why they don't emphasise radio actors. In the UK we have wadges of radio drama and comdey, coming from the BBC.

fair point, Hell Kitty. I see your logic about death penalty/abortion, but I don't follow how it relates to this argument. Would you mind developing your point?

Nearly died wheezing when I put the term 'sex change' into Google just now. OK, that sounded a lot more dodgy than I meant it to. I'm doing research on aberrant psychology and culture. Anyway, point is that all the spurious ads came up. My favourites are "GenderChange|Cabling4Less" and "Gender Changer: We stock this item, quick dispatch." :lol:

Completely lost my voice, but had brainwave and am now sipping from the office bottle* of 1919 rum. I now sound like the Howlin' Wolf, but I can make phonecalls. *I'm a big Raymond Chandler fan. Of course Raymond Chandler was an alcoholic. So I'm not planning on carrying on sipping past this first glass. What with it being 9 a.m.

Damn straight. It's hard to imgine a more pointless use of Patrick Stewart, unless it was to voice act a non-speaking mosquito. Actually, that would be pretty cool. An all star cast of non-speaking animals. ROFL! Cows, voiced by Brian Blessed! Terrifying!

Send me their names. We will make an itinerary and cricket bat the ****wits' cars. Seriously.

1) Add character 2) Don't voice act the damn character. I know I wouldn't notice. He can be deaf from firing too many guns, if you like. Tag speech or guns to 50 to understand his sign language. 3) Gun Runners are a business. In the post-apocalypse. They move stuff. They have new weapons to test. This means killing stuff. 4) Don't go for a formal 'mission' brief. A "How's that bozar working out for you?" would do. 5) Interactions "I like it, Bob, but what I really want is something to kill cazadores." Leads to another mission which unlocks more hurtware.

Failing to connect with Red Orchestra 2. I put many many hours into the first game, but something's off now. Maybe I'm just too old for stampeding about the place. Interestingly I've also gone off Total War. Which is very unexpected.

What is this? Colonoscopy cam?

I agree mini missions would have been cooler. The courier's stash strikes me as the most pointless add on ever for those who have already played the game. I already know where neat above-level loot is at the start of the game. The only thing about courier's stash which I like is the notion - unconfirmed - that it adds armour and weapon types. ~~ THOUGHT/SUGGESTION: Add some achievements unique to early game? Something like 'achieve level 10 without stealing', or 'achieve level twenty with less than five kills'.

LOL I misread this as him covering you in chocolate peanuts.

Numbers has a perfectly serious point, Krez. We all do this so don't be offended, but has it occurred to you that your liberatarian stance on religions poking their nose into other people's affairs is directly at odds with your stance on doctors poking their nose in. Yet physical health is just for life, while spiritual health (even without an afterlife) is for eternity? Further, and without the caveat about taking offence , you've got some very strnge notions about free choice and drug use. Oral administration may be safest, but people don't inject because it's fun. They inject because injection delivers the best hit, pound for pound. Oral administration sucks by comparison. I know that from direct experience of morphine, and from studying it. Your other point about linking legalisation to effects on health completely misses my point. To such a degree that I had to read your post three times to be sure. You want to prohibit the sale or supply of drugs which cause harm, but my entire point is that prohibition IS NOT AN OPTION.

Supplemental: Did you know that the Royal Navy slang for Nuclear weapons is "buckets of sunshine"? Rather apposite, I thought.

This is an interesting topic, but one I fear that after three nights with almost no sleep I cannot do justice to. Perhaps someone else would care to field a response to Orogun's point?

The one I've seen most has to be the immortal line from military history: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

I have now completely lost my voice. So although this is bad for me, those around me will have a much nicer time.

I got attacked by EIGHT recently in Honest Hearts at level 14. I think something is bongo'd in the levelling. Maybe because we have multiple characters at all sorts of levels on my account.
