Boots man, boots. I've got five pairs of millitary-style boots. -one is a vintage pair of Vietnan-Era Combat Boots -one is a pair of tanker boots -two are steel-cap insulated boots of the "combat boot" form factor -one is pretty much the same, no steel cap. I've got a pair of Mukluks...

Grand Theft Auto definitely peaked with Vice City, which was in every way superior to III, which is a classic in its own right. San Andreas is good, but it has some glaring weaknesses compared to Vice City, most notably its plot. The plot of Vice City, though, was even better than that of...

I don't have a name for my current desktop, but my server is identified on the LAN as Cyber, because I wanted to name it after an old computer type.

The funny thing is that I have a keychain that's got a bit of tritium in it so it's radioluminescent and you can find it in the dark...

Well most of those things are basically knives or spears but the Eastern flavor is misplaced. A "Sleave Entangler" is a specialty piece but considering how easy it is to make one from some otherwise non-threatening household tool it becomes more of a "why not" weapon. The Melee weapon...

Got no reliable link for the XM-214 as being hand-held but the info I have come from a book "The World's Greatest Machine Guns". I can get the info on it if anyone wants it. Wikipedia does imply that 1,000 RPM is the effective maximum for hand-held fire, though. Suaside, the exact reasons...

Klamath's actually still there. I remember hearing so-and-so from Klamath Falls on some radio talk show my dad was listening to about ten years ago when I got FO2, and BLAMMO, there it is, Klamath Falls!

There is a place for the bow, it is silent, and you can get the arrows and use them again. This makes it good for hunting or for stealth attacks. I'm not against seeing some modern hunting bows in Fallout 3, and maybe a few Brotherhood tripple-compound recurve whootsy-fuck super bows that can...

Mad Max 2 is a movie. "Mad Max: The Road Warrior". It's probably the most famous post-apocalyptic movie ever made. That said, it's about halfway there in terms of what's fitting the fallout setting. So... There's still no compelling reason for a wasteland smith to be smithing up swords...

Granted Fallout 1 was an absolute masterpiece, from a games-player's point of view Fallout 2 is somewhat superior. More characters are viable, there are more places to go, more things to do, places you actually have to find, enough leveling that you get to think about seriously certain perks...

It's a great thread, it's a shame most of the links aren't working. I guess the old boards are finally dead. I came here in 2004 after having sent some stuff to Per about bugs in the game. I had been in touch with him before I joined here, I think... Maybe Per remembers. I had known of the...

Undoubtedly the simple MKII Sten. It was designed with simple manufacture in mind. I believe you can still purchase plans to make them from survivalist catalogs and the like. Surely someone would turn up such plans and eventually find the means necessary to produce the plucky little weapon...

I don't think they should be prohibited discussion, just kept rational. There's no reason for medieval broaswords or baskets full of Katanas in Fallout, but a long-bladed weapon like a Machete or a single Katana is not setting-breaking. But you also have a good point about the prevelance...

Actually GE made a minigun that used the infantry 5.56 round (surprise surprise) and was comparable to other squal-level machine guns. A disciplined gunner could in fact fire it standing. It carried a battery (enough charge to fire 3,000 rounds and could connect to a vehicle power supply)...

I think (and this has been gone over before but people don't like to read old threads) that the problem comes up is that when you get to the point where you can smith a really good sword that is more than a big knife or a machete -i.e. a proper, battle-ready sword like a Katana or what have you...

NWN 2 will chug on anything short of Cray Y-MP or a Dell Precision 690 Quad-Core (Yes Virginia You Too Can Still Buy A Desktop For $10,000, Just Like 1985). As to the badger thing, I know they're tough, but when she transforms into one her strength drops and she can't move due to all the...

Believe me it's grand to hear you're neither a) dead nor b) dying The Ex is a cunt for kicking you when you were down. That behavior is just shit and I wish her a transmission failure on the motorway. Good luck with the family; my grandfather had OCD (he died in December) and I know what...

Spraying in and of itself is not a bad form of attack, but spraying toxic waste is rather lame as attacks go, considering that toxic waste is, well, toxic, and while it might make you terribly ill, even necrotizing fascitis isn't going to kill anyone quick enough to matter. Much rather be...

Zardoz was only mentioned once -it's a real head trip and everyone should watch it. Quite different from the usual Mad Max /A boy and his Dog scroungy stuff, but very good. I liked Tank Girl well enough. Oddly enough Barb Wire with good ol' Pammy Anderson.... well I shan't say it's...

There are plenty of things that you don't want to be sprayed with, so an old weed sprayer or whatever it is in aerosol form already would make a good weapon, actually.
