Oh deity, I cannot believe I'm about to type this . . . To some, the first person perspective is more immerisive. I imagine, espeically for those who grew up on pure 3D graphics, as opposed to sprite-based, isometric third-person perspective. Surely there is more content in Fallout 3, even...

Ha ha ha. Vista, baby. :mrgreen:

Not to meantion certain collapsed buildings, such as the publishing house, with the horribly simplistic text adventure! And the highschool you first encounter (well, minus the body parts and mad loot from raider corpses). In terms of delivering some form of philosophical message, though...

*Devours* Thank you for your continuing commitment to the people, comrade.

Well, you can end up with 1 sharpened spear (provided you have enough perception) and two regular spears (one you start with, another within the temple), and 8 sharp sticks by the time you exit Aroyo. Then, at the hub (?) . . . first trading center, you'll find about 4 throwing knifes in a...

The version of Windows . . . 64 bit. This part is key. Believe emulating a Windows XP 32 bit operating system will allow you to run them, and use all that delicious RAM them purdy 64 bits allows you access. These games, being ment to run on a pseduo 32 bit operating system, sitting on top...

Being an ass, I like to point out obvious things: Your CD ROM drive is a CD/DVD ROM combo drive, right? I ask only because you keep mentioning being able to run CDs. Back in 2002 (assuming that's when you got the computer, not just the operating system version) DVD drives were still...

In Fallout 1 and 2, freezes are a fact of life; As well as getting trapped in a door and having to kill someone to escape! Though, there are plenty of work arounds for the screen black out . . . Being too lazy to do any of them, I just routinely open up the options panel . . . For which the...

Game Balance (TM) at cost . . . Game Play (TM), Bad. Buzz words, oh my.

And more glorious detail about the imgmount function! http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT Includes instructions for mounting . . . an .img of a harddrive? What I usually do is just convert a disk into a folder (using the 7zip utility) then have DOS-BOX treat said folder as a CD ROM...

Back to radiation: That little book I meantioned seems to have it's mind set on the majority of radioactive fallout disipating within about a month of a bombing (the majority in the first 48 hours, the lesser about a week, and then there's just the modulus -- ultra cancerous kind). For...

Woo! 3D BattleChess . . . Why, in my day, all we had was Chess Master. Oh, and to keep on topic: Nucular, nuclar, nuculous. Atomic-ness!

Best used in the first one. Now, however, it's becoming cliche . . . At least after you read enough reviews/interviews or played the game too much . . . "War; War never changes [And neither do my lines.]" I don't know, the first two, it sounded fine. The second one took liberty and drug on...

Readin' through a book called Game Design -- Theory and Practice, if I recall, and another book on C++ game programming by the guy who brought us Ultima 5 - 11 . . . Seems to go like this: 50% retailer, 50% publisher: Everyone else? Milestone payments based on the budget for the production of...

Wow. Er. . . . Were to begin? Okay, the vault in the Hub . . . Never tried to blow it up. Chances are, you can't. (Just like you can't **blow open doors** . . . though, as Brother None pointed out at the RPG Codex, you can blow up the Rad Scorpion caves.) The key ring? Probably good for...

But jokes are funny! Fallout 3 is just a testament to the wallow within lethargy that is human kind. Or something.

Does this mean a bot-net can now turn on your computer while you're away? :lol: Well, looking at Wikipedia, I'll ask a foolish question: "The computer to be woken is shut down (Sleeping, Hibernating or Soft Off, i.e. ACPI state G1 or G2), with power reserved for the network card, but not...

I wish I had a nuke . . . I'd put it on my mantle. Maybe use it to boil water now and then. Though, comparing an iPhone to a nuke and a hooker is goin' a lil' far. I mean, both are used, and both cause crashes, but . . . Mmm. Carry on.

"well the idea of discrimination and "aliens" isnt thaaaat new. " Ah, the Day the Earth Stood Still . . . Looks interesting, thus far. I'll have to forfeit the cost of a ticket, perhaps.

Wait! Wait! There is one game I played, a RTS with an excellent AI . . . But it wasn't quite a AI. It was made by the same people who created the Commandos WW2 series, I believe. Isometric, with hand-drawn landscapes, and that sort of thing. Trouble was, everything was scripted. Say you're...
