The "missing" sleep button is not a bug - you can't rest your party in Fallout: Tactics. The reasons for this, I figure, are that you can potentially be set upon by baddies at any moment, it takes away from the suspense of combat (both of those have to do with CTB mode - which the game is...

This patch is stupenduously amazing, Killap. I'm sure this is starting to sound like a broken record, but your dedication, talents, and your keen decisions on what should and should not be in a "bugs-only" patch are very appreciated. I just spent most of yesterday, first, reading through the...

Since I'm so new around here, I figure why not get involved in a few arguements, run my name through the mud before I have a chance to settle down.... First off, I'm so friggin' tired on the mentality that joining a volunteer army equates to being a gun-loving-I-wanna-kill-people hilly-billy...

Umm... Hello!

"Flammable" and "Inflammable" mean the same thing. So do "unravel" and "ravel". According to the laws of modern aerodynamics, bumble bees cannot fly. The penalty for owning or detonating a nuclear wahead in Hemet, California, (conspiciously close to the area where Fallout 1 occurs) is a...

Corinthia “Hell is where the heart is…” -Bush ‘Synapse’ So, you’ve come very far to hear stories, hey? Stories of the world before the Fire, before the bombs. When the ground grew green; a healthy green, not the sickly pale of waste and decay. Like emeralds, scattered across a rich and...

Although I'm sure this has been done a few times by many others, I created a character with both the Bloody Mess and Jinxed traits tagged in Fallout 2. The comedy of this is astounding.

This bit, in the last part... if ((obj_is_carrying_obj_pid(dude_obj,PID_HEART_PILLS)) Look at it again. You've got two parentheses after the "if", then a third after obj_pid, and only close off two.

It's like post-apocayptic hiaku... Apparently, Darwinism doesn't apply to internet forum posts.

Not at all what I was saying. "Trends" are not pre-packaged, arbitrary releases from some outside source. They are slowly-seeping active formations that originate from certain localized ideas or fads found within society until they permeate popular culture; or, as you put it, "hand-craft"...

My little opinion; it's cultural trends. The same thing that affects ever genre of entertainment, whether its music or movies or games or liturature. Basically, the gamers of today aren't the same as they were 5 or 10 years ago (and most definitely not the same as the mid-80s). Gamers today...

Use DosBox to run it. Download DosBox at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1, pick your operating system (Windows is halfway down). Dosbox can be a bit disconcerting the first time you use it, particularly if its been a while since you've used Dos. The way I did it was...
