I'm obviously not going to open the FTP directory up to everyone but Chris Parks has access. If someone else wants to poke around in there as well and pinch some things to be uploaded elsewhere, I'll consider it. I had thought of making one fat ass dump of everything and just uploading it to...

Nothing.

No worries. :D

Do you admit the possibility that your co-workers might be lizard men? Will you be bringing this possibility to the attention of your Manager, even though you suspect it's unlikely that any of them are lizard men? Fallout 3 doesn't have a demo. If Bethesda really were interested in feedback...

When a company develops a history of poor and shoddy work in a certain field and over-hypes other elements which on release are found to be nothing like the hype, the company has a problem. With a track record of mediocrity, why should we give them the benefit of the doubt this time? Fool me...

Highly unlikely. I don't know Bethesda so anything is possible. It's possible that they're a group of highly organised lizard men sent here from Draconis to scout out viable subjects for their breeding program. It is possible, though unlikely. I work in lizard men analysis so I know what...

Yeah but they still say the same thing about Oblivion and that game's been out for a few years now. The time of any criticism being able to function as feedback to Bethesda never happened. It was either too early back when everyone originally kicked up a shit storm or Bethesda were going to...

NMA infiltrators strike again!!

Witty replies beget witty replies. Such is the cycle of the internets. To swipe at the evil fortress of nerd-hate and anger of course! NMA must be stopped before they infiltrate anywhere else!! In the spirit of more "half-an-hour hyperbole" though. GameShark, in their half hour and in fact...

Those "mental contortions" you're doing are actually called thinking. Also, The original Fallout had about the same number of people working on it as Oblivion. It sold enough to warrant a sequel, two poorly designed action focussed spin-offs (Tactics and FO:POS, which funnily enough both...

Not if I want to play the non-nerfed version. I'm expecting a "hot coffee" patch will be implemented quickly enough though.

I didn't realise I had to make a comprehensive list of the obvious. "Oblivion with guns" is being used as a euphemism. If you don't know what one of those is, now's the time to look it up. Then how can you say it's not Oblivion with guns? What you're really saying is "you don't know". If I get...

Nope. Half-Life doesn't have a character creation system or dialogue system. Both of those were built by Troika from scratch specifically for Bloodlines. Fallout 3 uses a tweaked variation of Oblivion's dialogue system. The skills are certainly different but both games had skills as opposed to...

Fact: It uses the Oblivion engine. Fact: It has guns. In half an hour VoodooExtreme were able to: GamesRadar only had 20 minutes: I'll ask the question: What would've happened if they'd decided to talk to those characters instead? They wouldn't have had to reset and start again and they'd...

I actually do know some people who work in the OFLC and the word is that "concern has been expressed" about the whole dismemberment thing¹. The Official OFLC Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games (approved by all State, Territory and Commonwealth Ministers) clearly states: RC...
