    Fanatic for the Enclave - Glory to the Enclave

    After Pearl Harbor, people wanted to wipe Japan off the map. After 9/11, America has a very "us or them" mentality. Why do I feel that in the 1950s-1960s After WWII where we saw the power of the atom, that people were less desiring of the use of that power against our enemies. JFK even...

    Chris Avellone's Fallout 4 Wishlist

    The fallout universe is screaming for more detail on the rest of the world. If they did that, I think it would requie lots of changes like not using caps and potentially dealing with a lot of ethnic types. So far fallout has pretty much been humans, ghouls, and mutants. The humans have...

    inXile and Unity crowdsourcing Wasteland 2 3D models

    Another then, they can still modify the assets. Change colors, size, shape, etc. Of course, they will be picky and only grab the stuff they can use instantly or modify as little as necessary. Not to mention, you will see the same assets in current games re-used and re-textured, then placed...

    Brian Fargo on crowdfunding Wasteland 2

    I have no problem with Fargo doing another Kickstarter for a project. If he wants to continue to focus on gaining funding for exaqctly what the customer wants, then that's good especially if he can get the funding from a fanbase that wants it. It's only when people start describing...

    Brian Fargo on crowdfunding Wasteland 2

    Crowdfunding is not the same as pre-ordering. If they say it is or market it as such, then they are liable if the product is not finished. There's been many kickstarters that have been fully funding but for various reasons do not finish. One in particular didn't manage the budget probably and...

    Setting Fallout 4 Part 1 (of 2) – How the West Was Fun

    What makes you think they are going for realism? The franchise is about a alternate universe where the 50s vision of the future still happened but also becomes tainted by Cold War like scenario where the bombs wind up falling. Not to mention all the crazy science from movies in the 50s...

    Setting Fallout 4 Part 1 (of 2) – How the West Was Fun

    At least it seems the graphics improved. Never played Skyrim so I don't know if the animations or dialogue is still weird. On-topic: I don't feel bad that F3 and FNV were in one central area F3 was not only in DC. It took us into Virginia, Maryland, and then DC. I lived in NC when I first...

    Fargo on Wasteland 2 development and crowd-sourcing

    I am learning Unity and there's an space MMO using Unity as a private project. Just because I have a chair with red cushions doesn't mean I can't change the color, shape, or configuration of the chair. It just means I have a better foundation to work with than to start from scratch. That...

    Rumor: Bethesda has the rights for a STALKER title

    After watching a playthrough of the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. It is amazing how much better it is than Bethesda's Fallout. I haven't been a PC Gamer for most of the last decade so I missed out on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and the first Far Cry. Just the layout of that first village and world is much...

    FO:NV and FO3 75% off on Steam again

    Thanks for the heads up. I accidentally bought FNV the regular version instead of Ultimate Edition. Steam support is allowing me to purchase UE and then they will refund me for FNV. However, if the sale wasn't back I would have had to purchase it at the current listing price. Not a good...

    Bethesda gets FOOL rights, Interplay gets $2 million

    Think again, Sony and Microsoft had to stop making the Marvel Ultimate Alliance content available once Activision's contract was turned null and void by Disney's purchase of Marvel. They were later able to bring the ocntent back, but only for a 6 month period. Now people cannot get that...

    Bethesda gets FOOL rights, Interplay gets $2 million

    Agreed, though I may still play the next Fallout game (by Obsidian) I won't be spending a penny on it if I can get around that. 1) I agree, I was hoping they would lose something from this :( 2) More likely either BS or GoG will start talking about where to send the money once that time...

    Duck and Cover reports FOOL case has been settled

    Is it possible that Bethesda will pay out Interplay's fees? Or Interplay gets bought by Bethesda under the settlement agreement? I hope the latter does not occur. I really would like to hear what's going on. I'd like to see Bethesda take a huge loss from this if possible. Oh well, I'll...

    The Art of Video Games Smithsonian Exhibit

    Oh didn't see you posted it above. I had just read it (at work) and had to let NMA know. I was actually going to the Smithsonian that Saturday and because of that article opted for a different exhibit. Much appreciated.

    There's a great article at gamasutra that tears into where they went wrong with this.
