Bah they ain't that good... I WILL ****ING CUT YOU. They haven't made anything remotely good on record since the late 70's, but that's not the point. There's a reason they pack houses these days yet all of their records combined haven't broken 500,000 units sold.

Few people know that Sherlock Holmes is the great great grandfather of Macgyver.

The Fallout intro still gives me chills, the way the drone music starts up as the film ends...

How often should Cthulu mythos creatures actually show up in a game, anyway? I was under the impression that all the big creatures (Dagon, Cthulu, etc.) were asleep only to wake up whenever the world was to end. Seemed like in all the books I read (there weren't many, admittedly) it was the minions of the Great Old Ones that did all the killing and the insanifying. A Shoggoth, maybe, but not Cthulu or Yog-Sothoth, or the big guns. Still, it's weird that there's no actual supernatural **** in the game.

If the common reaction of a message board to continued trolling really interests you, I'd love to hear your thoughts on drying paint.

Eh, kinda. The deal only showed that Bethesda believes that buying Fallout is a sound investment, and that they believe they can return that investment, which isn't necessarily indicative of an artistic ambition. But at the very least, it also implies that Bethesda has long-term aspirations regarding the Fallout franchise, which bodes well.

For Reals. The second Toejam & Earl was a real letdown for me, considering the greatness of the first. And what was all that cyborg grandpa **** in Streets of Rage 3?

The term is "robblerobblerobble", not "rabblerabblerabble". REPRESENT. *mkreku - let's make out.

Kid van Pervert is now walking the streets of Bethesdatown.

Was Arcanum anything like Fallout? I'm tempted to play it. Have the CDs here. If you like the free-form roleplaying that went along with Fallout, you'll like it. It's a horrendous game in many aspects, the looks, the ****ty balancing, the end of the game (every Troika game ended badly, really) but the roleplaying is especially robust.

Ah, nothing like the exquisite drama of fanboys waving their **** around.

Probably an automated, keyword-based search system. When I log into my email I get all sorts of ads about soda. Same deal.

STOOOOOOGES LIIIIIIIIIVEE I HAVE BEEN OBLITERATED STOOGES STOOGES STOOGES

This is a fantastic idea. Lapdances have killed the art of the striptease, and this is the first step in reclaiming this noble way of life.

The only things funnier than Doonesbury are the New Yorker cartoons. I don't laugh, but inside, I smile.

I have 2 already. Stupid animals.

My cat ran away 72 hours ago. He has not come back. Cold with rain tonight. So I can only assume that he's out there, cold, either starving or dead. This ****ing sucks, I'll tell you. At least I have exactly 1,000 posts. Hooray me. Give me a medal. *edit - I miss my cat.

Your answer is "psycho". Now go. Psycho eh? Go on. Tell me more of this "psycho." What does it do and more importantly, where can I find it? Son, let me tell you, psycho is a rare and precious commodity. Nobody knows where it comes from, but by chance, anybody who sells drugs on the corner is bound to have some. It makes you fast, but it also makes you stupid. And all those arbitrary measurements of damage you take every time you get hit? Well, psycho makes it even more arbitrary. Save your game before you take it, cause you might get junkie disease, which is bad. Nevertheless, one dose of the stuff will make you just about impervious to bullets of the 10mm variety, you'll take 0, 1 or 2 points of damage each hit, and it'll allow you to take more of any other kind of damage, but you won't be invincible. For example, in the Den there's a bar next to the Slaver's Guild. Punch the barman in the face until he is dead. On his body, you will find a syringe full of precious, precious psycho. Then walk into the Guild, take the psycho, and become their daddy. Take them to school in a van full of pain. Be forewarned that unless you hook up whoever it is you're with, they'll be vulnerable to all the bullets bouncing off of you. Repeat where and when necessary. It don't pack quite as much power later on in the game, but once you get your power armor it becomes obsolete anyhow.

Your answer is "psycho". Now go.

I disagree with all these agreements. Fallout is not a mormon girl, Fallout is a game. Fallout does not need to be protected from the big bad world. Fallout does not have an "honor" that needs to be protected. If Fallout wants to shack up with bland, dim Bethesda and pop out a few middling sequels, that does not make Fallout any less of a great game, or a great franchise. We shouldn't hate on Fallout for that just as we shouldn't hate on Fallout for converting to judaism, or dating a black man. *edit - <3

You was explored them, did you? WMP is poison. Do not use it, for anything. Just replace the songs with better songs.

Ugh, God, I hated Arcanum's manual, simply because it didn't have a table of contents. Who leaves that out? Seriously.

Yarr. And RP - If you get the Astrolite without killing anybody, Mercurio will recover and then go out and kill them instead - he tells you this when he drops in on you on your way to the Elizabeth Dane.

If you're not averse to user-made modules, you may want to keep an eye on Mysteries of the Moonsea: Melvaunt. It's one of the modules I'm most keeping my eyes on, as his screenshots are perhaps the most visually stunning I've seen come from NWN2, and he sounds like just a plain smart guy, who enjoys what he's doing. Some images: Thar 01 02 City of Melvaunt 01 02 Damn, that is pretty. But I wonder if the city will suffer from the same small-itis that Neverwinter suffered from.
