I'm playing Minecraft, LIKE A BOSS.

Far and away the winner IMO: Minecraft. Runners up were Pokemon Soul Silver, NetHack and Triangle Wizard. Minecraft is just so INCREDIBLY addictive. Searching for ore veins, building stuff, exploring/spelunking, killing things, setting objects on fire, playing with dynamite... EDIT...

The vid IS definitely aiming for silly-dumb-slapstick but I thought it was funny. Not like I could take FO3 or NV seriously to begin with.

I slapped down the caps for it, and I have to say Machinarium is wonderful, Braid's not bad, and Cortex Command would be incredible if it ever got finished, which judging from the DataRealms forums is gonna be half past never. Revenge of the Titans is a TD (a shiny polished TD, but a TD) and...

DLCs don't do FO3 any real favors. The level cap increase from Broken Steel and Point Lookout are the only really decent additions. Mothership Zeta is just absurd and Op Anchorage is downright awful. ITG much?

Father Time finally accomplishes what Fat Man and Little Boy could not. This is why you go for LK 10, kids.

The number of people who don't know what DRM even IS, much less CARE about it, is still fairly large. The lay "gamer" doesn't give two shits, he just wants to play something. When it becomes a hassle to play something, he'll bitch and moan and then go ahead and buy ANOTHER DRM "protected"...

Microsoft sez: "Tired of GfWL's bullshit? Buy an Ecksbawks, enjoy a 1 in 3 hardware failure rate and a pay-to-play online networking service!" Someone should really do something about this trend towards absurd DRM. Dunno who, or what they would do, but someone should do something. Like...

More like a successful headshot automatically has a greater critical threat range (16-20 instead of a normal 20) and a special critical roll is made to determine if the target is dazed, KOed or outright killed by the shot. Did I mention that this is under the assumption that something...

As an FPS FO3 fails horribly. The number of times I yelled "FUCK YOU" at my screen when a PERFECTLY AIMED sniper rifle shot went THROUGH the target without hitting it has long since slipped my memory. The number of times a Raider has taken bullet after bullet from a .44 Magnum (ONE SQUARELY IN...

That isn't going to cause a target to burst into flames unless he's been drinking Sterno and bathing in gasoline. It goes well beyond SCIENCE! to just "stupid".

*Spot enemy* *Enter VATS* *Use up AP* *If target is not dead yet, kite it until your AP replenishes* *Repeat as necessary* Yeah. OK.

That amazingly doesn't turn the gun's barrel into a molten pile of slag?

After 200 years of ghoulification and relative isolation in hostile territory I'd say they've gone batshit crazy like every other "feral" ghoul. Here's a good question: what where the Commies doing all the way over in D.C.? Didn't we oust them in Alaska (right before the bombs fell) before they...

I am imagining elitist Austrian and Swiss skiers choking on their cocoa when he shows up at the Village.
