    How did you discover Fallout ?

    I saw the demo somewhere, can't recall where, and downloaded it. I was already a post apocalyptic genre fan (I played Aftermath and Morrow Project PnP games and had been reading PA fiction since I found a copy of Alas Babylon when I was a kid) so when Fallout was finally released I picked it up...

    what kind of party are you using/didi you use?

    How did you handle the Kansas City mission? That one requires defending against 3 attacks on different areas of the map.

    Notch another one up for RA

    But a careful reading of the thread you are quoting would reveal that I never said the word irrational in either thread, Claw did, in fact he said the following which was quoted by me in the post you quoted out of context (bolding added for emphasis by me): Obviously someone here who is not...

    Notch another one up for RA

    Roshambo, why do you keep using the term "straw man argument" incorrectly? Did you read it in a book and think it sounded cool? Let me enlighten you as to the real definition: "As a rhetorical term, "straw man" describes a point of view that was created in order to be easily defeated in...

    I'm using RPG in the same sense the market does, let's not get into silly semantics.

    Ravingly positive review for RA

    They have been overcome by bitterness caused by the continuing lack of Fallout 3, and now any game that isn't FO3 sucks?

    Notch another one up for RA

    Did you ever lose the pilot? I was playing this evening and for the first time I went back to the jet and the pilot was missing. edit: I just tested it and the only money the pilot gets a share of is the mission payment and cash found in the field. He does not get a share of the money made...

    Ravingly positive review for RA

    RA is Diablo with guns, a run-and-gun action RPG. If you didn't like Diablo in principle, you probably won't like RA. I found it good mindless fun, much like Diablo. The overall look of the game is split. In town it looks like Deus Ex, in the desert it looks like Fallout. As to some...

    Omega Syndrome Updated

    The gameplay is a lot like original Fallout, although the game is much more linear (probably due to it being the product of one lone gunman). You get sent out on a mission and must scrounge for weapons and ammo in a lawless town. This is not a game for graphics whores, the quality is similar...

    OS is a fun little game. I've been seeing aliens, giant ants, zombies, and any minute I expect to be attacked by communists!

    Massive Assault: Domination

    I just tripped over a demo for this game the other day and I have been playing it non stop. Domination (the sequel to Massive Assault) is 3D turn based sci-fi strategy game. Analogies for the game are "TB Command and Conquer" or "Chess with Tanks". There is no random element to the game, it...

    Working on a new Silent Storm Campaign: Fallout 44

    Because it sounded like a good idea at the time? Actually, it was the Allies retaliating against the Axis. This is the first draft and the idea of nuking Berlin sounded dramatic, I may change the city to something else, not sure what.

    Women in the Military

    As a former US Marine (1975-80), I see nothing wrong with women filling any role in combat except infantry. My reasons are basically selfish, if I am wounded I have a better chance of being carried out of a combat zone by a man because of the average higher strength of a man.
