Hmm, sounds BG-ish with its global reputation.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Weve all heard the "dur, we ran out of zots" party line. I dunno man, it just seems like more and more is being sacrificed on the altar of making money. Im not just talking about little stuff either, how does an OS wiping uninstaller ever make it out the door? Seriously, not one person uninstalled the game before it shipped? C'mon.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Heh, isnt that par for the course now? NWN, NWN2, Oblivion, FO3, Gothis, etc, etc.... Its almost a business model now, lol. Just chug it out the door and let the customers fix it. The part that totally blew my mind was when somehow the fixes in NWN never made it over to NWN2 because they got an "early build". If only they would have had the ability to go to the vault and download stuff.

What you did today
Yes, several of us play WoW. Heres a thread on WotLK (linked you to the last page, 20). IMO, WotLK far surpasses Burning Crusade.

My brute
*sigh* 0-3 today, AGAIN. Korqeldroma, 00raiser and KittyBangBang all took turns working me over. Oh, and "Pugnacious" doesnt do jack.

Can torrent sites be prosecuted.
I suppose if I were a defendant I would prefer the jury system. At least then the prosecution has to convince a majority, and in some cases unanimously, before I could be convicted. And while I agree that there are stupid people out there having recently served on a jury in a civil matter has shown me if nothing else, jurors generally try to be fair.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about that until you just mentioned it. "Page 34, second paragraph, 17th word..." Good times.

Show and tell
Are you the instructor or a student? Whats "NB" mean? I get that its the same as "PS" (post script) but what do the letters stand for? As for your topic (), I assume they are all Danes too so maybe some talk about local news? Or your interest in computer games?

How big is Obsidian?
This says 150 peeps.

How can you not have juries? That's just asking for trouble. Namely corruption and authoritarianism. Most court cases in North America aren't before a jury either. And juries have their own problems that come with them too. Eh? The Constitution itself provides as a fundemental right a jury trial to the accused should they wish it. Unless you specifically meant Canada as "North America", I dont know what you guys are up to up there.

Ah, the good ole days where copy protection could be circumvented with a piece of tape.

CIA torture directives
they were singled out simply because of who they were. they weren't even part of the fight. taks As were millions and millions of other civilians. More civilians died than combatants by a long margin. Again, what makes them special? Is it soley the "racial" part of it? I know for a fact the Japanese looked at the Chinese as little more than animals, would killing 20 million of them as the Japanese did qualify as racism?

CIA torture directives
most weren't just following orders, however, though i'm sure there were some that did not want to do what they had to do. there's a difference, too, in executing POWs without cause other than the fact that they were jewish. taks Yeah, theres no quantifying what was known or not known. What was for pleasure (?) or just following orders. I also think it was a much different time back then where the world was far less concerned with saving everyone and it was more important to get the job done regardless of enemy loss of life. The fire bombing of Tokyo? Purely used for fear and to demoralize the enemy and hundreds of thousands of civilians died, more then both atomic bombs combined! What makes the jews so different? Because 6 million died? Look at this chart. 20m Chinese dead, 23m Russians, 7m Nazis.

CIA torture directives
I know youre trying to be facetious but I kinda agree with that. I never saw the point of hunting down some 85 year old man who was only following orders (See: the Enola Gay example). I wonder where the line was drawn, killing 10 jews? 100? 1000? Its probably very easy to find some US soldier that wiped out dozens of enemy or a sub commander that sent 500 souls to Davey Jones locker. Guess it sucks being on the losing side.

Hmm, so much for all of you that somehow magically know that torture doesnt work.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
I wonder how well this will sell. After the tens of you who want the same exact game, except "as it should have been", blow your wads how many others will actually pay for it after such a short time of FO3's release. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall during that meeting; "Check it out, how about WE do Fallout too?" "Huh? It was just done a year ago." "Yeah, but this time we'll do it "right" to cater to a ridiculously small demographic." "SOLD!!!"

Awww. Hey, I noticed in the other thread you mentioned Pump-It-Up. My daughter's ninth birthday is coming in June and shes pimping hard to go there. Roughly, what did that set you back?

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
I know, I know. They just look like such crap imo. Like one level above all text. Im not even a graphics whore and looking at screen caps of the FO's make me want to spork my eyes out.
-
Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Im not disappointed in the least and Im happy everyone else is happy. Im more curious as to why, and whether or not its just nostalgia.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Hardly that simple. Just that those people who love the Fallout series want to see those traits they loved brought into the next incarnation of the game, however Fallout 3 was lacking in some of those aspects. I still very much liked Fallout 3, but it doesn't follow the theme of Fallout and Fallout 2 very well. I feel they can keep a lot of what Fallout 3 is, but add some depth to the game. Something a bit more substantial to it. Would you consider that "doable" as it probably wont be turn based? Isnt that where a lot of the charm came from wrt FO1 and FO2? I dunno, I havnt played any of them.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Then, despite the gross similarities and how accurate the reversion is, people won't be blinded by their nostalgia and will critique the game for still not being a good enough carbon copy of the first two games. Lol, I was going to bring up how nostalgia would never stand the withering light of the actual product but it doesnt seem to matter.

Sure is. Fair enough.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
All of these suggestions just sound like FO2 reskinned for 2010. Is that what the majority of you want? Im genuinely curious here. A new FO on the heels of a version less then 1 year old and all anyone wants is to revert back to "the good ole days?
