Unless he's declared insane, in which case he'll end up indefinitely in a psychiatric ward. The equivalent of a life sentence.

Because some psycho might be tempted by an easy target? It's not the thing you normally expect in Scandinavia. Last significant massacre at a political gathering was the bloodbath of Stockholm in 1520

Yeah, flay it alive! There can be only one! After a brief vicious fight, the alpha predator emerged victorious, knife in hand, covered in pineapple blood, letting out a victorious howl that send a shiver through the cringing masses... Cut it's topknot off and then skinned it. All that sweet, yummy pineapple meat is all mine Ok, so I only cut part of it off, the thing being too big to eat in one day. Wrapped up the remains and put it in the fridge. In the end, much easier to deal with than my ill fated encounter with the dread mango.

Why would there have been that? It was just a political youth camp, not a Hells Angels regional meeting or anything.

Since the targets were the government and a labour party youth camp, it could be an unhinged right wing extremist.

I'm engaged in a contest of wills with a Pineapple. Maybe I should have researched first (like, before buying it) how you actually eat those things. It's currently sitting on my kitchen table, taking up a defensive position, with its thick scaly skin and strutting its spiky bits I think I'll find the biggest, sharpest knife I have and do the "Psycho" thing. That'll teach it! Next time, I'll buy it in a tin can.

Likely. I played FO1 first and I think it is far superior. I never even finsihed FO2 since I found it pretty dull and unfocused. But someone who played FO2 first would most likely be disappointed by the lack of size and lower levels and less generalized goofiness of FO1. They are very different games, despite appearing similar at first glance. "Size" was indeed a factor when I played it and decided that I liked it. For all it's goofiness, it did have a few bright spots. If they had just dropped San Francisco (as an example) and invested those resources in places like Vault City (the bigotry theme) and Broken Hill (racial themes), possibly elaborated more on the powerplay of NCR versus The Den and VC for unaffiliated places like Redding (hypocrisy theme) etc. it wouldn't have hurt. Just imnsho of course Oh yes, and the Car and the improved "inventory management" for players and party members. To this day, I still like that I didn't have control over my party members other than sticking out general guidelines that they would try to follow within the limitations of their personality. Anyway, regarding the actual topic, I think I might break one of my principles and start by buying Dead Money one of these days, just to try it.

It's great. A highly under-appreciated game that combines a host of different gameplay types. When you installed the xcom games from steam did you have to do any configuring to get them going ot was it just install and play? Gamersgate, not steam (I'm not a steam fan). Install. Click on desktop shortcut. Play That's how all the DOSBox wrappered games on Steam work as well. Not sure if X-Com Apocalyse goes under that. It does (as did the two Masters of Orion games)

Welcome to the forums Dommicius, Moved to the gaming section. ShadowScythe is right in, that the "official" place being the main hub of FO:NV activity. Leaving it open it in case a lucky shot comes this way with suggestions/answers.

I bought the x-com complete (or whatever it's called) package off Gamersgate a while ago. I't came with preconfigured DosBox wrappers, enabling it to run on 64bit Windows 7. X-Com 3 is the only game to rival Jagged Alliance 2 in sheer awesomeness in its combat.

It was seriously tempting changing the sub-title into 'Never gonna give you up' Not into the RTS games, but there are still two handfuls of titles on my wishlist there. Some of the extras are nice, like wallpapers, soundtracks etc.

I remember wanting to punch him at the time... Much of the humour was in the detail, like the floating texts, combat messages, the awkward situations you ended up in etc. FO2 was more hit and miss gags, a lot of it feeling contrived, even within the setting. Not all bad though.

Everything is easy for Brujah. You can even kill the garou. Never tried playing Brujah, only Tremere, Malkavian, Nosferatu and Toreador Most fun play through was Nosferatu in my third game of VMBL Nothing like sitting in front of your screen and bursting out laughing because something completely unexpected happens... like going to the diner to talk to the lady behind the counter when finding Lily (at least I think that was the one). Killed the werewolf (eventually, after many tries), by crushing it.

The new Awesome Button Technology ® seems to indicate that they are trying to become the Michael Bay of the gaming industry. I liked ME2, but I worry about where they are currently headed (if DA2 is any indicator). Combat in in ME2 was mind numbingly dull, all action and no tactics. I've also developed an irrational dislike of corridors The characters and diverse story elements was what kept it together for me.

The Kuei-jin boss fight disagrees Larry's quest was definitely "easier", if actually more time consuming to do the sneaky/obfuscate way. You get more skill points too by not being seen if I remember correctly (3 instead of 2).

Ah yes, those modern, mass produced games that all the new kids fancied. They had nothing on the old classics like Temple of Apshai or Lords of Midnight

I've never done a full playthrough of ME as Jane Shepard. Nothing to do with fear, just lack of interest. I played through ME2 several times, but only once as female (and what a struggle that was). It's just unnatural

The nervous, almost hysterical laughter of people not knowing how to set Irq and DMA channels in the audio setup Maybe older games just left a stronger impression because you had to use your imagination to make up for the shortcomings in presentation? Never underestimate the power of imagination.

I've never cared much for dogs, but always had a weak spot for cats Edit: @Oner: I'm so going to steal that one for a relative of mine

Increasingly typical? How else would you explain Berlusconi?

Theres a LOT of english words like this that have become everyday speech in other languages. Mostly for no real reason, though. Yeah, often names and technical terms will be used in their English version in Danish. Download is a good example. I know that German software makers go way overboard with translating everything (and I mean everything, as in obsessive compulsive) into their own language in their software. Download just makes more sense than Herunter Laden. If for no other reason, because the translated version sounds exactly like what it is, something that is translated and wouldn't normally be said that way in your native language All that Italian makes me hungry for some reason though

I expect the commercial version of this apparatus to be used to cheat outrageously at sports events. Watch the super goal keeper that never misses a save!

Proportionally spaced fonts for the win. Funny thing is, if you hit the reply button and look at the text, it makes sense (the spacing seems to work there, unlike when the post is submitted) Edit:

Yep, with magic bullets. Which he had saved specifically for the boss fight. Looks interesting. Didn't like the bit about their artists getting lured away to work on somebody elses MMO though
