I bought it... Lots of good, lots of bad. So I'll tell anyone hoping it might be as good as Hordes of the Underdark that it isn't even that good so far. It's slightly better than NWN's orriginal campaign. There's some interplay between the characters (yay) but nowhere near the level there...

Now I know I'm the only Uber-nerd who actually has laser-disc (I'm not Uber enough to know the ALT code to type a U with an umlaut) but they released it on DVD recently- there are similar weapons in the film "Aliens" in the extended special edition. They kill several aliens but are eventually...

The graphics may get better, and there will be more options but in all seriousness what I'm expecting is little more than an extensive expansion pack for NWN. Sort of like DOOM II was to DOOM. Another, better, game on the same engine with loads of new features (i.e. there was the double-barrel...

Yes. But then it becomes a non-issue. It's easier to quit and close Fallout once each session than it is to fuck with an internal setting just to play one game -and thereby screw all others. Fortunately it IS a non-issue at this point.

No. There's already the 9mm Mauser -why do we need another WWII German Handgun Souvenier. In game-terms, it's almost the same thing, and probably almost as useless. NO. Fuck you. And your mother too. Go away. Yeah maybe. I don't see why not. And I do not care.

From the infinite wisdom of Lazarus Long: "There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it? " If I direct my thought toward anything but, it leads directly toward insanity.

Holy Hell -Thermoptic Camoflage! Sonar is the way to defeat such things as this.

Hrm... don't THINK any of the video stuff is disabled but this is worth looking into -common logic says leave all that stuff enabled unless something goes wrong, but I will check because I honestly can't give the state of the video settings offhand. At any rate the display on this particular...

System in question is an IBM R30 Thinkpad Celleron Mobile 900 MHz, 386 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD, Windows XP SP2, DX 9 (I think). Oh yeah, graphics adaptor is a "Trident Cyberblade". Eh, just look here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Trident_CyberBlade_Aladdin_i1 OK, this is a weird one, but...

That makes the interface fun to use.. sort of. Had to find the "post Reply" button :) Gawd, I recognize the second one; it's the one that ebay fuckasses used to (and sometimes still do) use to make their stupid little text follow the mouse cursor. Unless they're selling Marantz DVD changers...

I'd think that the baseball bat and the Wakizashi in Fallout 2 should be reversed -the Wakizashi would be rare, kept by an individual who knew what it was and how to care for it. A baseball bat is just a chunk of wood and it's easy to use and care for. Rosh, building on what you said, and...

I saw him fight last night. His head was over the ring post when he sat on his little stool. He's not 7'2", he's 7'3". They were speaking Russian in his corner and twice the translator said some pretty funny shit: "Mitt him", and, I kid you not, "Use the Taxi". "Mitt him" I suppose could...

Algernon. There are better ways to obtain arms than killing gunstore owners. I won't tell you you shouldn't, it's a freeform game and you can do waht you please. But the gunstore owners can be useful later.

Unless developers write two distinctly different modes of gameplay, it will be a LONG time before physics cards do anything more than make the game pretty. I've been playing computer games my entire life, from terminals to modern PCs, and that's just the way it is. Remember when graphics cards...

Ah, yes, the "Difficult" questions that make the theology professor flinch, and, eventually convulse. After a year of asking the questions they never expected the Good Catholics to ask, as I walked out for the last time, I asked her "If God is all-powerful, could he make a rock so big that even...

While most of the Fallout weapons were fictionalized, most of them were from real-world firms. Even the Minigun was made by Rockwell, a real-world millitary hardware company (now Rockwell-Collins). I'm not sure about this, but I think they actually make the modern miniguns. (either them or...

My US$0.02 on the "real-world weapons" issue is that whatever they are, they have to be selected very carefully. Some of the weapons in Fallout 2 show signs of this; for instance most of the "high-tech" slugthrowers are extant weapons that were never adopted by any modern force (Pancor...

Absoultely excellent game. It can run under Windows XP; AFAIK all you need to do is disable audio acceleration in dxdiag; that is all. You can re-enable it for programs that benefit from it.

Cat's Paw is real but in real life it's a shoe heel not a magazine. I once had a tape recorder very similar to the one in FO1; There are (possibly) a few real holotapes in existance but they are video recordings, not data. I can't think of anything else, really. Fallout promotional materials...

I love machine language translation. Those so make those which are written on making interest cause. We wrote the project whose Excell is small on the high school, called "the product"; That made the record mark of the teacher who is application possible. In any case, as for us Japanese to...
