I think the genesis game is a more faithful adaptation of P&P shadowrun, but I could never get that into it and all I could find to do in it was repeatedly slay ghouls for some guy in a bar, or go into random buildings looking for some Macguffin. I think the SNES version is a way better as a...

Sharpie h4x, badass! I was thinking about making some goofy custom stickers and doing some guerilla anti-marketing on release date :P like a sticker that says "A Post-Nuclear Paperweight" and cruise gamestops slapping it on under "Fallout 3" Or a picture of the Todd's face with a word...

Will I be influenced by reviews etc? Nope, I can tell what this game is and isn't already. My interest in it as a Fallout RPG went out the window when I learned there was no text box. Will I buy it? No, I'll play it out of morbid curiosity though To those who say there pissed off that...

I was scouring the interwebs back in the dial-up days looking for new RPGs to play and I found wasteland and rumor of an upcoming spiritual successor. I thought wasteland was killer so I started lurking the fallout forum and waiting for the release. Man that demo was kickass, I minigunned...

Thanks for the education, I've heard the term "UN peacekeeping force" before and glibly repeated it as an off-the cuff step towards a solution. Obviously, if there is no peace, it can not be kept :) My thinking behind that was to turn things over to international oversight so the...

The main issue, and what many opponents of gay marriage fail to realize, is one of health care and economic equality. As it stands in the states if your spouse would qualify for health care through your work, but you happen to be gay, no dice. Married couples also get many tax breaks, why...

What's crackin NMA? I've got about 40 bucks in unused Barnes and Nobles gift cards to blow, looking for some recommendations from my fellow Fallout nerds :) I'm currently reading Pattern Recognition by William Gibson, I'm about 1/3 of the way through and it's pretty intriguing so far...

I can summarize the guide for fallout 3 in two sentences: Did you try clicking on it? Did you try not clicking on it? Oh wait, the whole "clicking" thing would leave the console only gamers in the dark, guess a guide is needed after all! And since someone was kind enough to bring up...

Ok, I wasn't very clear. I would be all for the peace keeping force to be entirely staffed and paid for by the U.S., merely overseen by the UN. What I meant was, end the occupation! Don't build US military bases there, pull our tanks and other heavy weapons platforms out etc. Concede that we...

I was thinking about this myself the other day. I think a working solution would be to simply make the attack roll when the attack button is clicked, and then if it misses, animate a miss. For this to work I guess there would have to be some sort of targeting system so the game knew what you...

I'm sorry but unless your friend speaks Arabic fluently and got to spend most of his time over there dressed in civies mingling with Iraqi citizens I don't think his information is any closer to the truth than what we get on television. I don't think anyone there greeted the US as...

I realize that, and I wasn't saying anything against the Unity. I only got to log in a couple times and those guys cracked me up. I'm also all for roleplaying inside the game, I love player factions gaining power etc. I was merely suggesting that instead of the devs "managing" the...

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/world/middleeast/11casualties.html While it looks as though this has a wide margin of error, and the deaths counted aren't exclusively military, if any study can come up with such a number I think it's reasonable to assume that at least half that many have died...

The Iraqi death toll grossly disturbs me, and to anyone who has spouted the bullshit rhetoric "Saddam was an evil man that needed to be dealt with!" Do you fucking realize that 600,000 dead is approaching or may have even exceeded the number of people he killed? I don't blame soldiers...

Hmmm... "Ants" that like to foul up electrical equipment? Seeing as how they came to the states via a cargo container, 95% of which are inbound from China leaves the conspiracy nut that lives in my brain pan wondering... "perhaps China has far exceeded the rest of the world in the area of...

Anyone know of a torrent or other digital version of this up anywhere yet? I saw the last one at a friends house, I gots no cable TV at my pad, just the intrawebs. X-play is so-so from what I've seen, your standard watered down video game "journalism" hype center outlet megastore, only...

I think that is the mentality that makes nearly all of the MMORPGs that I've played really really bland. Complaining to developers to fix the players ends up with the game getting dumbed down. What exactly was your complaint? People acting goofy, and running around attacking each other at...

Hola everyone, long time vistor of NMA, finally registered. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents about the FO MMO. I know there is quite a bit of anti fallout mmo (and mmo in general) sentiment among old school RPG players, but I'm optimistic about this game if it comes to fruition. MMO's...
