    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 1.0 (Unofficial FO2 Expansion)

    Masterfully done - when I saw the quest "Rescue Sulik's Sister" pop up on my pipboy, a little tear came to my eye. I've been wanting to rescue her for years. The dialogue is seemless, and it's the most stable version of F2 I've ever played. You've utterly ruined my social life for the next...

    Fallout 3 anniversary contest winners announced

    Money Talks was a great idea for a perk. It would balance out if you put it on a logarithmic scale (that is, you get an additional bonus at 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc). As for Reaper's Sprint... I don't think it necessarily unbalances the game, anymore than Sniper or Slayer. But what...

    MSN Tech and Gadgets UK interviews Pete Hines

    Mind if I follow up on what you're saying there? I've always thought there was something a little lacking in the karma/reputation systems of RPGs, and Hines summed it up perfectly when he said "If you blow up Megaton, you'll have to work hard to make up the karma points." But here's the...

    No Playable Demo of Fallout 3

    My heart died a little when he called Fallout a 'sandbox.' It's like he's subconsciously admitting that F3 will be nothing but Oblivion mixed with GTA:Post-Nuclear. Admittedly, having sandbox elements would improve an RPG... Wait a minute - doesn't RPG already presume an open environment...

    Falloup Online back in its third format

    If the Author's reading this, I hope he checks out this site. His art is good, and his changes suggest he has potential, but there are still numerous reasons why his comic hasn't 'caught' me yet (even though I'm a sucker for anything post apocalyptic). For starters, the Fallout font was...

    Fallout 3 at E3 - Electric Playground

    If you don't mind me revisiting the Brotherhood of Steel debate... I think some of you are missing the point. Back when I was in High School, I read Star Trek: The Nitpickers Guide (yes, I was a huge geek). It was a listing of all the continuity and technical errors that appeared, episode...

    Drug addicition

    For starters you could read the rules, and download one of the walkthroughs available here. All the details will then become clear.

    Bethesda opens blog

    I wasn't going to say anything, but since everyone else is debating the nature of fusion/fission reactions... Is anyone else bothered by the 'radioactive drinking water' they keep mentioning? Having it as a health item is already silly enough, but what really gets me is that fact that water...

    Fallout 3: official teaser trailer announced

    My therapist told me that I should find outlets for my anger in creative writing. ...my parents make me see him after what happened to Kitty. Kitty? NO, Kitty, no claws! ...Kitty? KITTY??? KIIIITTTTYYYYYYY!!!!! I JUST WANT TO LOVE YOU KITTY! WHY AREN'T YOU MOVING!?!

    Fallout 3: official teaser trailer announced

    You know what the problem with that music is? Honour. It drips red-hot beads of it. There's no honour in Fallout. Honour got put on life support when the first Canadian rebel got shot, then died silently in the night as the first bomb hit dirt, blooming into a fireball of pain. There's...

    Fallout: Dust and Blood

    I'd be happy to help edit the dialogue once it's closer to completion. If you want to see examples of my writing PM me (the stuff linked below is very 'first draft-y' - I'm still working on Broken Roads, if anyone cares, I'll talk to ya when I have news.) And I'll second the 'great train'...

    Fallout: Between Good & Evil screenshots

    Personally, I saw the car and thought, Hmm... red rust, not silver, interesting... Crack on the windshield? BRILLIANT! The car looks great. Is there a specific year where the cut off lies? 1951? 1955? A '92 Ford Taurus would be disappointing, but come on. And idiotfool, if it's not...

    Winning 'triggers fan aggression'

    Howard Bloom covers this in The Lucifer Principle. Basically, when an organism (group, society) is well off, well fed, and afluent it can afford to be experimental, but when it is poor and/or hungry (and so forth) it will revert to more conservative behaviour. For example, a monkey is more...

    Why did we never post on Falloup Online?

    The AIDS comic was legitimately funny. I think the author just needs to find his pace. It's got potential, but he's still sussing things out. And I think targeting him for "bad art" is below the belt. You can tell what he's drawing, and there's no confusion. Something more stylized would...

    Vault 15 Replica Map Video Made with Half-Life 2 Gary's Mod

    OMG, dude, you, like, used "buttplug" as an insult - LOL! You're so edgy! *Ahem* I thought the computer terminals could have used a bit of work, and some artistic liberties would have been acceptable - the walls and rooms were designed for 640x480 - if he'd wanted to spice it up with a bit of...

    Rosh on Fallout 3

    ...and so, the one known as the Vault Dweller, returned home only to be cast out by his people. Broken and friendless he wandered the wastes. But worse was in store for him. With the selling of the license to Bethesda, even his legacy as a saviour to the people was shattered. When Fallout...

    Modoc & Klamath

    For those of you who don't know (and I didn't) Modoc and Klamath aren't just a couple of cities in Fallout 2, they were also a pair of Indian tribes from Northern California. WarNerd wrote an article about the Modoc's last stand located here...

    Frozen "pees" is a delicacy in Canada. Don't judge my culture. (joke!!!)

    I couldn't be Zorro today.

    Wooz, I know exactly how you feel. One night I was coming back from the clubs, when I noticed this old guy coming out of the gay bar. These two blondies come up from behind him and one of them punches him in the head. "Hey... what the hell man? What do you.." Whack, the second guy...

    I've heard it suggested that she's a troll for the democrats, trying to invalidate the republican position. But if she isn't than she's a dingbat.
