We only talk about Fallout

The violent nature of chess:

[kirottu]

Go totally kicks Chess in the nuts for massive damage.

[Fenghuang]

You obviously haven't tried full contact, real-time chess  "

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What do you mean by full contact?

Another example of full contact sports: http://www.kungfu.net/sanshou.html

 

Other definitions here: http://www.answers.com/topic/contact-sport (search for "Full-contact sport" on the page).

 

A full-contact sport is similar to a semi-contact sport, but which contains physical contact between the combatants with the aim of causing a knockout or otherwise rendering the opponent inable to continue the match. Injuries are much more common in full-contact sports since the amount of protective gear is often reduced, and the techniques are executed at full power.

 

Makes Chess much more interesting

My god that would be the funnest game ever if I could get enough people together to play it. :D

KNIGHT TAKES PAWN :grunting:

 

 

DANG! You BROKE my FINGER! WITH A PIPE WRENCH!!

[Fenghuang]

I was thinking more along the lines of getting thirty-two people dressed like chess pieces assembled on a giant board. They're only allowed to move on the squares and in the directions their piece would be able to in a regular game of chess. Taking pieces would involve tackling, possibly wrestling.

[Calax]

so you would turn chess into your average homoerotic sport?

 

Bah...

[mkreku]

I wonder how difficult it would be to find 16 people willing to play as pawns..

 

"No no, you just stand here. Wear this sack. No, you can't attack anyone. Nope, not fight back either. STOP ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS AND JUST STAND HERE, STUPID PAWN!"

[Fenghuang]

The pawns would be the most strategic position. They can only move forward so they have to wait until they really think they can hit someone. You'd have the biggest dude on the team play the Queen, because they have the most mobility and you'd want him to smash lots of people, and you'd have the fastest/strongest dude on the team play the King in the hopes he's not caught.

[Tigranes]

Screw that, you need REAL knights.

[metadigital]

Fallout combat's fine.

It worked well for the engine.

Different tastes I guess.

 

Besides which, Fallout

Had a lot more to offer

Other than combat.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That is sublime.

Thar be an editorial in the December PC Gamer about Fallout 3. Scan! Gonna have to zoom yourself.

 

Nothing really new, but apparently it's going to be set on the East Coast. Reaction from the Fallout camp looks to range from skeptical to positive. I remain skeptical.

That scan is miniscule.

 

Edit: Never mind.

Well, east coast would be a logical setting change. They can bring new stuff into the game withoout breaking canon so much.

 

I am personally no more or less skeptical about FO3than I am about any other game in development.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Fixality. If the new link is too small, just d/l the pic and zoom in manually.

[Tigranes]

To quote the Codex:

 

the first official Bethesda F3 image will have the statue of liberty sticking out of the sand.

 

i'm fine with east coast as long as they dont fook it up with all the references to freedom and all.

[Slowtrain]

To quote the Codex:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Oh dear lord, why would you want to do that?

[Musopticon?]

Because they are generally right, if you dust the crusted crap from around the words.

[Tigranes]

Yes. There's a reason Ive lurked there for over a year.

 

And got my share of meatspin url masks. :/

Damn.

You guys found out.

I'll be sure and tell Todd the jig is up.

 

Fallout 3: Dr. Zaius edishun will be in stores December 2015, the normal "Damn Dirty Apes" edition will be available everywhere on the same date. Dr. Zaius comes with dueling statue of liberty/empire state building book ends. If you're one of the lucky few, you get a free blow-up doll dressed like one of the human female slaves in the game.

 

The title of Fallout 3? Fallout 3: The Chimpocalypse.

[Tigranes]

See, that was rash. Now if we find ANYTHING related to a monkey in the game we'll hang you by the left toe and throw pudding.

[LoneWolf16]

@ SS

[mkreku]

...you get a free blow-up doll dressed like one of the human female slaves in the game.

I want one of these

[Shadowstrider]

I now fully intend to fight tooth and nail to get a monkey in the game in some way, shape, or form.

[kirottu]

But what

[Slowtrain]

Aren't deathclaws monkeys?

 

oh wait they're salamanders, aren't they?

 

Oh no they're werewolfs!

 

 

 

I need to review the Fallout bible, methinks.
