I watched Mad Max 2 and 3 last night, and the sheer number of references I was able to pick up surprised me. The male leather armor skin : Exact copy of Max's armor. The raider boss from Mad Max 2 wears a hockey mask, uses a scoped .45 magnum, the prestige handgun of the 3 available in the game. The raider mohawks and piecemeal armor are very similar. Max is called a 'wastelander' by the small community he encounters. The major of Little Lamplight looks exactly like one of the kids from Mad Max 3, down to the colonial helmet. It's only missing the tribals from fallout 2, which were also in Mad Max 3. I'm betting they forced the devs to watch all the films. I kinda miss a vehicle section, or a thunderdome in the game to top it off. just putting together a working bike, or buggy could have been an interesting quest. Also, one of those fancy high tech bows with a pulley mechanism to support the draw would have been a very cool fallout 3 weapon.

I just get spiders, by the pound apparently, they come from the attic above my apartment. The really big fat ones I evict, the rest I am very Buddhist about, although my sister's dog likes to hunt them and eat them.

Did anyone ever figure out how to open the gate at the Mama Rosa factory with the Chinese remnant ghouls. I know there are special versions of the Chinese assault rifle and pistol, but I never found the key, or the source of the radio transmission, assuming they are through that locked gate.

I bet they say that to everyone.

Lime, tarpaulin, a shovel... Bad joke, yes.

Part of all this is simply smoke and mirrors, they can still sell those cards to people who have given up trying to figure out the naming policy and think they are getting what it sounds like, instead of what it is.

If we are being realistic however, gravity makes enormous exoskeletons unfeasible.

We don't have scorpions here. A shame, they look really cool.

We are talking really grim 'grapes of wrath' times here, handouts were saving lives.

FDR's spending meant the difference between living and starving for a whole lot of people.

The problem facing any would be welfare state is mostly that government can't contend with globalization, that makes it much harder to affect demand, which of course you can do by giving people more money to spend. Throttling up or down doesn't automatically work, but in the face of a prolonged recession it's imperative to make the attempt.

Saying Obama is Marxist is a subjective judgment, nothing more. Marxism is an anachronism, at least economically speaking. That's what you want to paint him as.

Are you drunk again..

The devil is always in the details, as usual you have bundled so much together that the bundles no longer make any sense. There you go, peanut gallery out.

Classic

I like it. I eagerly await a big budget Hollywood action flick that ends with everyone's heads exploding. Structural explosions and collapses are so yesteryear

Of course fallout was a dead series, the last installment was a decade ago, give or take. Same reason the comparisons don't really mean that much. Fallout 3 is a good game despite all it's flaws. It's a bit soulless and too cute and cuddly for post apocalyptia, but it's good nonetheless. One can always hope the expansion will be better. Shivering isles was miles better than Morrowind for instance.

Now you are getting it

Insert exploding by stages headquarters where appropriate

Unkillable companions are worse than unkillable NPCs. You sort of understand why certain NPCs are there to bring the plot together, best thing to do with those from a writing standpoint is to get them out of the way as soon as possible, and generally have as few of those as humanly possible. NWN2 had the worst of both worlds, immortal NPCs you could not get rid of. Well not until well into the game.

Why does the temple have to collapse at the end of every action movie. A secret deal with the writer's guild...

I'd say the one thing the game runs out of rather fast is narrative thrust. Sandboxing is fun, but unless there is something noteworthy to do it gets old.

Also I wouldn't keep trial running the system at critical temperatures, that could kill the processor. What does the BIOS read as CPU temperature.

If the CPU fan isn't a snug fit it could well cause the mobo to auto shutdown. Since your machine could boot and work for a while the processor must still work. Next step is to order a new CPU fan and heatsink, it's quite cheap compared to anything else in there so i'd say you are in luck.

No wonder they needed that game
