    Fallout: Van Buren being reborn under fan development (includes Q&A interview)

    Probably the closest my childhood dream of a sequel to FO2 coming true. I don't want to get my hopes up yet, but this is the best FO news I've read in some time.

    Fallout tattoo

    Good coloring on that! It's a little disturbing though, it seemingly portrays an image of a Vault Boy living within a hole in your forearm. I don't think I want a Vault Boy in my arm. Very cool nonetheless! I've started wondering about maybe my own tribute to the series. I honestly don't want...

    Have you moved on from Fallout?

    After I played Fallout 1 I was hooked. There was just nothing else like it. I got this excitement in my belly when I heard Fallout 2 was announced and I'm pretty sure a day didn't go by where I didn't lurk the official forums. I still have that feeling of excitement, thinking about all the cool...

    What is the most addictive video game you've ever played?

    I always feel kinda bad for recommending this server to ex-addicts of UO but UO Second Age is a great server if you're from the T2A era of UO and want that nostalgia. No trammel included. It's all legit stuff, no donation items or custom colors or anything, they've striven to be a perfect...

    What is the most addictive video game you've ever played?

    ultima online was the most devastating addiction. it took a strong hold of my teen life and i left it there. i later came back to it in my mid 20s and it sunk it's teeth deep into my brain. never again. right now im playing an obscene amount of war of the roses. i have about 700 hours in it.

    Turn-based multiplayer game reccomendations?

    if you do do fo:t i recommend looking up some rulesets and using those. i quite liked the ww2 and counterstrike rules. it can be pretty fun once you find a ruleset you like.

    Vault-13 or Vault 13?

    Same. As a kid reading the manual is your first experience with a game, usually on the car ride home. For whatever reason when ever I'd get a new game the first thing I'd do is go take a crap and read the manual thoroughly in the bathroom. The Fo1 and Fo2 manuals were great for planning...

    In-browser Caravan - play online with friends

    couple notes! 1. I love this! I wish more played when I'm online but I've since gotten my friend into it who's never played NV. 2. If you king a queen it will result in a bug that causes the game to never end, the score is changed to NaN on said caravan pile. 3. You can't play queens on...

    What's your opinion on Tactics?

    What I meant what sounded silly was that working within restrictions allowed more creativity for your builds. But yeah, the community was cool, and I remember playing with mostly chill people who didn't exploit bugs. The 10k 1 man scene is what really did the game in for me. I complain about...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I know it's not what you were suggesting but the two separate worlds comment brought back traumatic memories of Felucca and Trammel. And that's a shame they're talking about classes. I do recall UO having preset classes you could use but it was just as easy to create your own, maybe it's...

    What's your opinion on Tactics?

    I was really addicted to FOT when it came out. I had no idea it even existed until I saw the demo in stores and I shit my pants there was a new Fallout game. I bought it immediately, I think it came out a week after I saw the demo or something. There was a very active multiplayer community in...

    Fallout 2 - Play till you hate it

    Just kind of a side note. I played Skyrim and NV without quest markers on my first playthroughs. I also didn't use fast travel. Needless to say, it was extraordinarily frustrating. In games like Morrowind you got hints on where to look for stuff and it was fine and dandy.. However, in NV and...

    Saving in combat, is it really that bad?

    Someone already mentioned the game crashing thing when saving during combat, and that's why I stopped doing it. I believe it was an old patch version, back when there was self replicating party members and stuff, that would always crash on save mid combat. I'm pretty sure fallout 2 would crash...
