After spending more than I'd like to admit replacing doors, keyboard and mouse sets, tennis racqets, a PC screen and a motherboard, a Game Boy and probably more stuff I'm forgetting, I recommend taking deep breaths instead. Not quite as satisfying perhaps, but significantly cheaper. I recall learning a combined lesson that XBOX360 controllers were wireless and patio doors were expensive.

Filling out some of my band discography. I bo ught Eighteen Visions - Obsession (2004, Rebuy as I can't find mine, only need to get a hold of their Vanity album now, which is another rebuy). Throwdown - Venom & Tears (2007, Only one I didn't have), and Electric Six - Flashy (2008, on vinyl... because Electric Six is amazing)

I remember that part. I just said "OK." Then V.A.T.S. headshot.

I concur. On consideration I think NPCs should be written with reference to several points: 1. People change across time. Show them changing. 2. People get happy. 3. People get sad. 4. People get angry. [the above are not computing/design intensive to show] 5. People find different things to be exciting, but they always perk up when it happens. Show this. 6. SHOW the relationship an NPC has towards the player through adjusting body language. It's not impossible. Most of the body language is already in the emotes for many games. 7. Everyone has connnection points which anyone can hook up to. Vices, interests, hobbies... even if you don't write it in, think about it. It's how conversations naturally run. ~~ I don't think spending effort on the above would be wasted, since it would cross apply to any RPG project. I would much rather have to read text and be able to be visually convinced through body language of the persons feelings than seeing a still body with voice acting. That's my preference, though. Combine the two and I'd probably crap myself. Not that that's really controllable anyway.

After I finish 2 more expansions in Fallout 3 ... and all of the quests, does anyone have any suggestions? I was really thinking Bioshock.

I just put in my "The Faint" record. I like these guys.

There's a new Samurai Shodown coming out. I'm hoping that it's either running on a similar engine as Super Street Fighter IV. I really hope it's a 2D plane fighter rather than 3D.

Did Fallout 3 have the same music as Oblivion? It sounds awfully similar. On that note, has anything been exploited on Fallout: New Vegas' audio? Edit: Answered my first question: "... score written by composer Inon Zur." Oblivion was written by composer Jeremy Soule.

It's no leg break but I came home form the skatepark early due to a sprained ankle. Time to play some more Fallout 3.

Thanks for sharing that, Oblarg. It's been a while since I've listened to some decent Thrash metal form the 80s. I was reorganizing my CD collection and I happened across this little gem: Currently listening and it'll be the Icewind Dale OST afterwords.

Washington DC's Darkest Hour. Right now I'm listening to Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation, but I'll probably listen to their entire discography tonight. There isn't a song they wrote that I don't like.

Rose Funeral's 2009 album The Resting Sonata

The Dark Alliance series was a console Action-RPG dungeon crawl beat'em up kind of game. As for the interface working on consoles, I don't think it'd be much of a challenge at all. You have a bunch of buttons to bind to as it is, you'd just have to hit people with a bat that complain they have to use an analog stick for a mouse pointer.

Could port Icewind Dale or the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series... Well, not sure about the first one. Don't they have size restrictions on the PSN and XBLA games?

Oh my god! Snake River Conspiracy has slipped under my radar! I had their demo CD back in High School and wanted to pick up their LP when it came out and I forgot about it. You may have just made my week, Vault. But then again, the lady gets back from Mexico this Saturday. Same here, listened to them in HS, then forgot about them, then heard their awesome Lovesong cover in a porn. Here is the song in question: I just bought their album "Sonic Jihad" on Half.com for $0.75. I forgot how much I liked the songs Lovesong, Oh Well, and Vulcan. Just check them out on MySpace and it says they're really working on a album this time and they hope to have it out by 2006.

Their forums were hosted by Ubi's DRM server.

I liked Waterworld. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person in the world who did When Black Death cigarettes went out of business in 1999, I quit smoking. I enjoyed the "Surgeon General's Warning: If You Smoke These, They Will Kill You".

Yes, but why waste the disc space when I can put it in my CD player? I have nothing against ripping CDs. When I do rip them, I rip them to MP3 and put them on my iPod. But when I'm at home, I prefer to listen to it in it's original format. I really don't like buying digital media. I prefer to 'own' a hard copy. I've been considering ripping all of my CDs and Records to FLAC, but I'm looking at computers to just run a media server through my house and was also looking at stereo receivers that support such.

I hate MP3s. Lossy Audio for the lose. If the music industry starts selling Lossless Audio online, I'll buy that. Until then, it's records and compact discs.

No! I'm American, damn it! I can't stand up, take 3 paces to the CD player and press the button functions I would like the CD player to perform! I wish to indulge in weight gain and laziness for such is the American way! If my CD player will not function remotely, nobody's will! From this day forth I shall stop at nothing in the creation of a giant worldwide wireless control signal scrambler and make everybody do things the way I have to do it! Muah ha ha ha ha! ... Who am I kidding. I'm lazy. I'll just go buy a universal remote that's compatible with all of my stacked electronics.

I thought FF was the stale pond?

*laughs* The manual lacks CD Player codes. Apparently she missed that part, though the manual clearly states that the remote can control CD Players. Time to start searching other .pdf manuals on the site.
