January 22, 200719 yr 1.468 exa-bytes. wow. that's 1 quintillion, 468 quadrillion, 611 trillion, 883 billion bytes. OMFG! they only sold what, under a couple hundred thousand, right? yet now it has been DL'd over a billion times. i'm guessing there's a lot of overlap in DLs, however. i.e. i seriously doubt 1/6 of the population of the world has a copy of FO 1/2, hehe... taks comrade taks... just because.
January 23, 200719 yr Downloading the Fallout games? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
January 23, 200719 yr Even if this site is halfway legitimate, that's a hell of a lot of downloads. Now, barring this is just some prank on the part of some Fallout nut, the things that you guys cite don't change the fact that the number of downloads is huge. For example, you folks cite the types of shows (my wife really loves King of the Hill and she's 42), but this page only claims to give the numbers of torrent downloads. The commentary, both theirs and yours, regarding the downloads is extraneous. The tracking on the downloads is the issue. Moreover, the fact that bungled downloads and other factors might shave a significant amount off of the real total doesn't much mattar as those same factors assuredly had an impact on every title in the list. The question is, does the link go to a reputable source?

January 23, 200719 yr in related news, the Pirate Bay guys are trying to buy a small island nation to evade international Copywrite protection laws. I think they are currently the BIGGEST torrent site after Supernova got killed. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
January 23, 200719 yr It's not technically an island. Either way, I consider it doubtful they'll be able to purchase Sealand as it's not for sale. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
January 23, 200719 yr That list was unexpected, to say the least. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
January 23, 200719 yr Sealand is for sale, i read an article about it a couple of months ago. Apparantly there was a fire there, and the Royal Family are broke so they can't fix the damages. Also that site is not legit, there's no way they could overview ALL torrent sites and there's no way none of the things on that list would be most downloaded. Check any torrent site, any, and see how many seeders the fallouts have. I'm willing to bet it's under 20, or under 10. Check any major movie, they've got thousands. Even new games have thousands of seeders. That's just a prank by fallout fans.
January 23, 200719 yr like i said, doubtful 1/6 of the population has the game. i wouldn't doubt if less than 1/6 of the population actually owns a computer. either way, somebody used a cool number... not often you hear about exabytes. taks Edited January 23, 200719 yr by taks comrade taks... just because.
January 23, 200719 yr I am almost certain it is due a bug in their counting method rather than really insane Fallout popularity. Far more plausible.
January 23, 200719 yr This data does not correspond with tracker and download data of the most popular indexing sites. Its TV shows and Music that dominate.
January 25, 200719 yr I'd just like to say that I BOUGHT the damn game again recently on DVD, along with FO1, and FO Tactics. Well worth the cash. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
January 25, 200719 yr I still have my original copies of both games, plus brand new doubles (which i keep skin wrapped) plus the torrent version, mostly because those packages include all the patches (official and unofficial) and related cracks. I think i'm pretty much set. :ph34r: Edited January 25, 200719 yr by Lyric Suite

That's why you have to keep a copy buried 6 feet underground in a concrete bunker. Lead lined, of course.

Edited January 25, 200719 yr by Qazplm
January 25, 200719 yr Any tips on how to get Fallout 1 to work on windows XP whould be helpfull. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's an article on NMA about getting both games to successfully run on Windows XP.

January 25, 200719 yr Here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fall in love, get married, and then pimp your spouse for a little extra chump-change. It may just be my faulty memory, but I don't recall love having anything to do with getting married in Fallout. At least not with a male character.
January 25, 200719 yr We'll, I'd love not to have my head blow off by the old guy with shotgun who is making me marry his daughter/son.
January 25, 200719 yr (w00t) Got it to work!!!!!! Now to find any good patches to this game. Edited January 25, 200719 yr by Qazplm
January 25, 200719 yr My female character gets umm... married, then I take her wife out nto the desert for the honeymoon with Suilik, then I cap her in the back of the head and travel to Vault City.
