    Eurozone: Crisis or not?

    To your tl;dr, because it's easier that way? I stay knee deep in every issue I can get my hands in and try and keep informed, but ultimately, for what? There are only so many things you can get enraged about and want to see fixed but in the end, things stay the same. I would be interested...

    Leonard Boyarsky Retrospective Interview

    I recently replayed Fallout so it's nice to have everything fresh in my mind again. The companion NPCs is kind of a hilarious concept and it really highlights how a lot of design comes down to the constraints of a limited budget. I love the Zimmerman storyline in the Boneyard and I can only...

    NMA Opening Analysis: Fallout

    Haha wow, I forgot all about that. I was the same way! It wasn't until I read about parts of Junktown that I had never heard of that I discovered this was the case. Changed the whole experience when you could visit a lot more areas.

    NMA Opening Analysis: Fallout

    If only gamers today could recognize and appreciate the introduction's subtle guidance. When GoG gave away Fallout 1, a few people I know finally downloaded it and gave it a try. One quit shortly after starting, saying that the "intro quest" seemed to never finish so he got tired and quit. The...

    NFL 2012 !!

    Crazy seeing Tannehill go so high. I loved how ESPN was so critical of him at #8 as they reviewed his plays and even showed essentially a blooper reel. I guess we'll see if they had a plan as time goes on.

    Interplay Games 50% off on GOG.com

    Thanks, you guys suckered me into it. Fallout 2, Sacrifice, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Fallout Tactics, Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader, and Freespace 2 are all part of my collection now. Sigh, between this and the 3DO sale last weekend, GOG is punishing me.

    Interplay Games 50% off on GOG.com

    Any inputs on the other games? I've always wanted to try Giants Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice. Should I finally play Lionheart or was the game really as bad as people talked about it being? Evolva always looked interesting too

    No Mutants Allowed front-page redesign

    Looks a lot nicer! Even though there are probably things you could do to improve it, it's a good leap forward. When browsing at work, I felt like everyone thought I was reading an old geocities site with the last design. The all white background on "no mutants allowed" though seemed like...

    Shadowrun returns (on kickstarter)

    I'd never preordered games before, but now it seems thanks to Kickstarter, it's all I'm doing. Sheesh, my wallet's taking a beating, but I guess it's a long term investment so I buy fewer games later. I never played the SNES game but I've always wanted to try shadowrun.

    The Age of Decadence pre-orders now open

    Wow, is it almost here? I feel like I've heard murmurs about this project on here for so long. I'm definitely interested, and after watching people do a "text based" handling of the first area, the game looks awesome. It seems like every quest has a lot of options available to you. Still...

    Wasteland Update #6, $1.5M passed

    Video was a bit cheesier than the last one but still entertaining. They're doing a great job providing those incentives to keep the tally going up, and I think it's making a big difference. I hope they focus more on those mod tools rather than the "social" features with extra money, but it...

    NFL 2011

    If it weren't for the colts, I would think the Redskins might be able to singlehandedly push their way down to the bottom. I think that'd be the only way to explain Shanahan's actions.

    Anybody else dislike long films?

    I don't judge a movie for its length, but there's a much better chance I'll watch a movie if it is shorter. I'm with most of you guys that there are tons of incredible long movies, and that people shouldn't miss out on these. But if I was to go down to my dvd case and pick out a movie to...

    Something arrived in the mail today

    Ouch, I was excited to see how this turned out. I would reply in the thread too as it's something precautionary that other potential buyers should know.

    Afterfall aiming for... 10 million preorders?

    Yea, it's a clever marketing idea, but come on, ten million? I could see that being challenging even for more popular gaming series. Unless every person who preorders it, preorders ten copies.

    Favorite books / What are you reading?

    I think it was his first novel. The afterward in my version was really interesting as he talks about his struggles to get it published and how in its first years, he would go out and do public readings to himself. Is his other stuff even better? Almost done with The Bone Collector by...

    NMA Fantasy Football 2011: Can You Feel That Hybrid Rainbow

    Would you guys be interested in expanding our stuff next year to include a "pick em" league. I'm not sure what the yahoo equivalent is, but I do the espn pigskin pick em every year and it's usually pretty fun.

    NFL 2011

    Yea but it doesn't look like the Colts or Rams are going to let you guys just walk away with it.

    NFL 2011

    None, it's old but I think this is the site you always reference: http://www.advancednflstats.com/2009/04/career-success-by-draft-order.html So high draft picks don't necessarily guarantee production, but they at least improve the chances. I guess Palmer provides some "guarantee" of decent...

    NFL 2011

    So... Carson Palmer as a Raider? Bengals with 2 new high round draft picks? Brandon Lloyd as a Ram? Jerome Harrison and Ronnie Brown trading places? Will any of this change anything? Can Palmer keep the Raiders momentum or are we seeing the Raiders returning to their usual path of...
