    US slams 'criminals' behind WikiLeaks

    This kinda reads like being a media fiasco for being a media fiasco... which is kinda like Paris Hilton: Famous for being famous.

    Only serving to prove just how far the standard has fallen.

    funniest moments from fallout games

    Clearly we need a "no fallout" option, where the world leaders kept calm and rational and there was no need for panic or strife. It'd make for a boring game, tho.

    US slams 'criminals' behind WikiLeaks

    Getting Saudi Arabia to guarantee oil shipments to China so that China would agree to economic sanctions against Iran is one HELL of a lot more straight-forward and less despicable than selling weapons through an embargo to Iran in order to fund Nicaraguan rebels and release Lebanese prisoners.

    US slams 'criminals' behind WikiLeaks

    The irony here is palpable: Wikileaks' strongest argument is that a democracy cannot run without an interested and fairly suspicious populace looking after its government. In short, that we cannot take the government's word for it. And so we must take Assange's word that he's smarter than...

    Is NV too much NCR-Sided?

    Eisenhower and Nixon were, despite being Republican, part of a more liberal era.

    Is NV too much NCR-Sided?

    Not so much allies as they accept detente. And NCR can do so solely because they're the only force substantially larger than BoS altogether AND not totally hostile to their aims.

    So what story lines are left to tap for DLC

    Yeah, but it's also hard to patch in new NPCs to a map that's already in existence and populated: The complexity rises with each new faction of note, what with cross-referencing.

    What will be the canon ending of New Vegas?

    I actually tend to think that it makes more sense for them to be like that: Many a university department is hidebound, isolationist to the point of incest, and ultimately self-destructive by presenting to the world something of an Ivory Tower. If the Brotherhood set themselves as the Last...

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    It's already been solved for sports: We invented spectator sports. Football players are surprisingly nimble creatures who somehow run like they don't each weigh nearing three hundred pounds. They're masters of their craft, and their craft requires going from nothing to full sprint in a...

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    I still say the problem is simple and singular: There is no monetary benefit for putting in the extra work for plot and dialogue. As for the rest, I dare say even gameplay takes a backseat to stuff you can basically show on a 30-second ad spot: If CoDBlOps or MoH are any indication, people...

    Neutral Path?

    Nah, it's just that universal karma is stupid and the best thing about it is that it's also pointless.

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    Therein, I believe, lies the problem. Said problem I can best explain thus: Amount of money the average consumer would pay for the greatest movie ever to grace the silver screen in the entire history, past, present of future, of cinema: $10 Amount of money the average consumer would...

    who did you side with on your first playthrough

    All acts are selfish acts. That said, some selfish acts help others, too. FotA had that "fresh from college starry-eyed liberal activist" feel to them, with Dr. Thomas Hildern and Caesar being rather egregious examples of what happens when reality gets in the way of good social work, and...

    Neutral Path?

    I think the problem with "bringing peace to the region" is that your one-man crime spree really does pale in comparison. :p

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    I think the important bit is that the writers of the originals had a talent and an advantage: - Their talent was that they wanted to create a world that was internally cohesive and interesting. They succeeded. - Their advantage was that PC gaming overall was still something of a niche...

    Technically you can: The game just never ends.
