There is only 14mm AP ammo. I never found use for that gun anyway. Actually a 5.56mm Minigun CAN be handheld and fired, it's called the XM-214 "Six-Pack" and was a competeitor to the M249 SAW. Modern warfare just doesn't call for a handheld minigun, but modern warfare in Fallout's world...

I had a similar problem with the game ADOM and my portable hotplate... er, IBM laptop R30. Kinda surprised me as ADOM is a terminal-graphics DOS game, so why should it crash a friggin 900MhZ computer? Well the answer is that many older programs are programmed "inefficiently" for windows XP and...

If ya gotta hate two things, you can hardly go wrong with Hip-Hop and communism -a pair of abortions right there, I tell ya.

The technology will mature, as is evidenced by these cars. The entire "who killed the electric car" thing was a joke; nobody killed the electric car, GM retracted one leased vehicle line that was released as an experiment, from which a lot was learned. You could still buy electric cars and...

Well in GTA-Land Liberty City is New York, not Miami; Vice City is Miami and in Vice City there is Little Haiti which IS a shantytown. But asside from that I wouldn't mind most of those features. The dragging-a-shark-from-the-water bit is a little over-the-top; too many too bizarre ways to...

I've had loads of Fallout-related dreams, including wearing combat leather jackets fighting gangers in a surrealistic landscape with a friggin M3A1 "Grease Gun". I've dreampt about playing Fallout, too, and I've dreampt I've been IN Fallout, with a clear delinieation between the two types of...

Wow. I should take some pictures... I've got tube kit out the wazoo, a tester the size of a suitcase, and about 200 loose tubes laying around.

I'm holding out hope for it no matter what it is. Unless it gets the reaction that the crappy console game got, I'm probably going to buy it. I submit that a game, even with real-time first-person combat, that was truly a Role-playing game, where your decisions, stats, and interactions had...

I understand that later production run Trabants were actually fitted with the 1.1 litre engine from the VW Polo. There are certainly cars I'd choose a Trabant over -a Citroën 2CV, a Subaru 360, or, indeed, any of the abysmal Zaphozhets cars. (I believe there is no propper spelling of that name...

This could go either way. I remember back in the day playing lots of first-person RPGs. They were mostly the "one-block-at-a-time" kind. Don't know how this will change combat resolution but we'll just have to see.

That's different... I'm always a fan of an "innapropriate" instrument being used in rock music though that's not the greatest of such substitutions I've ever heard, it's certainly quite good. Like any organ, it brings a terrific tonal quality to the song. I'd much rather hear the song on a...

Ah, but if one were to be included it should be the Mateba Autorevolver, because of its use by Togusa in Ghost in the Shell. In the Fallout tradition it should not be named as such in its description line; it should just be ".357 Autorevolver". I'd also vote for the AG pistol from Robocop/ Sin...

Mad Cat? I want an Atlas! And an Auroran Carrier from Escape Velocity: Nova. Va Ytrek class, of course. Or maybe just an U.r-Quan Dreadnaught :)

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Lack of fossil fuels isn't as big a problem as it would seem to be be. Anything with a carbeurator can be tuned to run adequately on pretty much anything that will burn, so pure grain alcohol would work, and gods knows how many stills there were in Fallout/2, producing more than enough alcohol...

Well yeah, it would, pretty much. Myron was an annoying Jackass. I think about half of the people who put him in a party shoot him eventually (or find some other clever way to snuff him. Here Myron, you hold all these dynamites. Oops, they were armed. So sorry.). There were some...

Too true. And the whole "Temply of Trials" thing can go, too. It just broke the whole Arroyo scene... they had the wherewithall to impliment such a structure, they HAD it (if the found it or built it, who cares), but they were using it just for a ritual that happened, oh, only when the village...

There were supposed to be more cars in Fallout than just the one you got in Fallout 2, but I remember reading that they did it that way because they didn't want the player to just be able to jack one from the locals. I think cars are appropriate with the 50-style setting; hell, a flying car...

While there are truly no "best" stats to play Fallout with, there is what I have found to be a decent sort of "minmax" build for a character who can do the most and kick lots of ass. Good if you like to do the most possible things but not necessarily an easy start. The numbers require the...

every mac-user I know has purchased a USB mouse with two buttons. Presto, right-click. This is far and away the best idea.
