I fooled around with the vault door for a little while, opened the door and couldn't walk through it, closed the door and then walked through it. From there, you meet some vault-dwellers who need a generator fixed. So I had to find a toolkit, but I couldn't, so I flamed everybody I could find. Then I found out the door to the generator room was locked, so I flamed it. The game did not see this coming, and promptly crashed. I loved what I saw, though. Ranged pistol whip ftw.

They say blondes are prized because in most places they're rare, which makes sense, really. I had a blonde friend who isn't even that attractive (still love her to bits, though) and she vacationed in Greece, and by the time she got back she was pretty sick of getting her ass pinched. But they do things differently over there.

Whoa new green dev.

Cafe of Broken Dreams rules. They may not be able to make a Fallout game with Van Buren's remains, but they could make their own post Apocalyptic game with it. It never ends.

Aren't you some big modder? You should know this crap you can tell it's the svirfneblin mines because of the wooden staircase down that doesn't lead anywhere. I refuse to believe that I am the only person who can tell these things on sight. Slacker. I'm the only person I know in my immediate area who has ever finished BG2. It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad world.

That's what I thought when I first fired it up. The character body models, and the way they stand, or something. The first time I saw the NWN2 gameplay vids I noticed that hand to hand combat is exactly the same as it was in KOTOR2. Playing Kingdom of Loathing, as a feared Disco Bandit.

I was actually blown away by the intuitiveness of the camera. It's miles ahead of NWN or others of its ilk. And this is pre-Alpha. My game crashed when I decided to flame the door to the generator room, since I couldn't find a toolkit. Broken dreams, I swear.

It's the svirfneblin mines that you clear out after you escape the Asylum and find yourself in the Underdark. You kill the demon there in exchange for the lightgem needed to visit the Silver Dragon.

Psssh, you voted for brunette, you didn't say you preferred it. It could very well be the case that you voted just to skew the poll and ruin the fun for all involved. So state your preference, already.

Sorcerers are fun. Why in God's name would you have regular healing potions that late in the game?

Alright mister, first you get all hissy 'bout redheads and stereotypes and such, and now you come out demeaning us with your accusations of desperation. Tell us your preference, participate in the enlightened discussion, or leave. Those are your options. Don't make me report you.

*gulp* that was awesome.

Well, uh, what I think that means is, eh, Obsidian has the rights to the concept art, and the engine, and all of that jazz, but they can't actually release a Fallout game without Bethsoft's express permission, they being the owners of the license and all.

So in a perfect, foreign world, Van Buren could be released as a sort of Tactics-y side project to Beth's F3. Hmmm. At least the devs have all of their work back. It was fun going through KOTOR2 and trying to find all the little bits of VB that made it into that game in some form or another.

Did I mention that I love ****? Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.

The Landlord

I hit that communist with a cattle prod and then it crashed. I like the way it looked, besides all the bugs (can't push any of the buttons on the bottom of the screen) and knowing all I do about the game, oh, the broken dreams. The broken dreams. You know, even with my cautious optimism, I'm having more fun with this demo in my head than I ever will with Beth's attempt at F3.

Add strawberry blonde Nova Scotians to the list of preferred as well.

I've always preferred black-haired Italians and redheaded Irish lasses to scandinavian ice queens, honestly.

You're right. Turns out that all the redheads I know are Irish. So it's actually the Irish that are unhinged and compulsive. That they were redheads was happenstance. For the record, the woman of my dreams, who I've known for many years and lives achingly far away from me at the moment, is a redhead. Her hair's thick and she cuts it boy-short as often as possible. I'm madly in love with her. I would swear off the rest of humanity and everything I love for her. So Nyah. Sticks and stones.

Oh, but you're forgetting New Goblin! I'm always wary of comic book movies overestimating how many characters they can reasonably throw in. X3 was an example of the too-many-references-are-never-enough school of comic moviemaking. But that was the least of the film's problems in any case. And if you thought the second movie was ho-hum, I hear the talky parts of this movie are the worst in the trilogy. We're talking momentum-killing bad. But I'll withhold final judgement till I've seen it. I've never actually seen a Spidey movie, and there haven't been enough good movies out lately to dissuade me from seeing this one.

Venom by way of That 70's Show. It's not a big secret. Raimi (the director, if you've lived under a rock the past few years) didn't want Venom in, but Marvel strongarmed it past him. Kinda disrespectful, if you ask me. The original movie saved Marvel from certain oblivion, and now Raimi might not continue his run in the director's chair for any future sequels. Tobey Maguire might not return either. Shame, they won't be able to cover Lizard, Vulture, Scorpion or Mysterio. If there's anything this series needs, it's a guy with a fishbowl on his head. Maybe they'll get desperate and throw Carnage or Toxin in there. Or Poison. Yay.

Yeah, the Fallout Community has had to wait several years for any shred of actual evidence that F3 will suck. Bethesda has finally provided the absolute proof. This looped music backs up everything we've ever said. They should just shut down production right now. But in all seriousness, I don't think it sounds terrible, and this has **** all to do with the rest of the game. People will just have to figure out a way to mod the sound and music in-game.

Oh man, I'm conflicted. It's going to drive me insane being only able to play the first part, but I'm going to do it anyway. GAAAAAH *edit - Wait, is this a playable demo, or the previously seen tech demo?
