  1. Well, if you weren't sea sick already...
  2. I haven't read all of them... maybe there is something in here? http://www.qmfound.com/army_subsistence_history.htm
  3. Vote Gorth's smileys! Lower taxes, better food quality, no unemployment, world peace, better education, free health care, everything you could possibly ever want. Therefore, know where to place your vote! This election year thing seems to rub off a bit...
  4. Playing Fallout 2 My Doctor/Science/Energy weapon geek has made his way to Redding. Got Vic, Sulik and Cassidy in tow. I keep wondering if there was an intended purpose for the generator/water pump in the Great Wanamingo Mine shack behind the ruin with all the rats. I Tried everything including an attempt at blowing it up with Plastic Explosives, but no disabling the pump. It would be nice if I could just have drowned all the nasty critters in the mines. Similar thing keeps puzzling me in Klamath, where there is a section of the great rats tunnels that hints at being "fragile". I tried to pull it down with ropes, bashing it with hammers, dynamite, crow bars etc. It is rock solid despite it's description, so no bringing down the tunnel on Keeng Rat, you have to fight it out with him
  5. Some kind of "no-name" PDA would probably do. Otherwise, it could be: Selfcontained Encyclopedia & Guidance Apparatus No agent should leave home without his S.E.G.A.

    Books

    I know how it feels. They are the junk food of literature. I just wish I had stopped reading any Eddings after "The Belgariad", as I really did like that one. "The Malloreon" is just a rehash of the same story and I made the mistake of reading "The Dreamers" while flying (picked up the books at the airport bookstore) which is... almost just a cut and paste job of previous characters and story bits. Way past it's "Best by" date.
  7. Very unlikely to happen, my grey hair is a dead give away Yes. I don't vote (I don't have citizenship). In the case of the airport, yes. I accept it as a price to pay if I insist on flying. I need to fly as part of my job, I can live happily ever after without a video game. A slight difference. Here I can exercise my free will and chose not to subject myself to it
  8. *confused* Now my reply to posts which no longer exist don't even make sense. Where did you move them? Uhh... was that a question to me? I didn't move anything "away", I moved something here from elsewhere (from Gromnir, Blue and Tigranes).
  9. ...moved a few wayward posts here, which seemed to have lost their way into another thread... They might be on some previous page now though. Bonus replayability value of this thread
  10. It looks that the original topic was abandoned a while ago. Continued speculation about Biowares marriage with Securom here: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49658
  11. Hanging out too much with Volourn again? Not really doing much these days, just alternating between work and sleep.
  12. It's the same thing in Denmark. Only movies/cartoons for young kids are dubbed. You sort of "grow up" with subtitles and original languages. It has the added benefit of making it easier to pick up stuff like English in school, when you are used to watch english language movies with subtitles
  13. For me it is a sense of violation of my privacy. The same thing as when you are under camera surveillance in a taxi or a public place. Besides that, the majority of the games in my cupboard is from companies that are no longer around. If those games had only been playable through online activation... *shiver* As for Securom and other things invented to insult the paying customer, I've experienced on my own body, that some of the games I have doesn't like my drives and only runs if tampered with. Things like that doesn't exactly endear them to me
  14. Gorth I scratched my name from the list of potential buyers...
  15. That one, and the enemy instant (re)spawning, which makes your tracking skill worthless just about every place where it could have been useful
  16. I sure that a smart guy like you can do that without the implied personal insults...
  17. You had me worried there for a moment Deraldin... that would have left me with the oldest and slowest computer on these forums :ninja10:

    Food Thread!

    I sure can The Aussies still have a thing or two to learn about coffee making from their cousins across the Tasman.
  19. And the groove goes on and on... http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49643
  20. Start of previous thread: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49343 End of previous thread http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...5&start=495 Last song listened to: Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy Name (from Live after Death)
  21. A rather apt description. The game does that to you I'll probably give it a go again once I finish Fallout 2
  22. Which is our sluggy friends way of saying "congratulations"
  23. Finished playing Fallout 1. It has been too long since I played that one. I even missed the Master, only remembering that he is somewhere underneath the Cathedral, not the military base :blush10: Decided to have go at Fallout 2, this time with the "Restoration Patch" 1.1 downloaded from the link at NMA. No matter what I did (yes, I did follow the installation instructions and deleted the patch000 file), the game wouldn't let me exit Arroyo without crashing/hanging, so I removed the mod again. Now I am at Klamath, looking for Vic.
