The death was a surprise. Glad to see they're not afraid to take out prime characters. The new flag was cool too. I'm sure Jonah will be back. He's a major player now.

In my personal opinion, Jagged Alliance 2 is still the gold standard for turn-based combat with modern weapons. Perhaps a bit too much detail for RPG players (sadly), but takes a great deal into account. One small example is how a character's aim is thrown off after they get hit. If you...

Research Report - Vertibird Contrary to what some may believe, the Vertibird's design is not entirely unique. Actual helicopters were contructed and flown with this lateral twin-rotor configuration. When was this? You guessed it. Helicopters and autogyros were the subject of much...

The physics displayed in the trailer look great! Fitting, isn't it, that it's using Garage Games' "Torque" engine. :) Looks like old AADA members have a new venue now.

I have to chuckle. As a software developer, I am quite familiar with the proliferation of project managers/producers. I just wonder what their ratio of artists/programmers to "coordinators" is. Don't get me wrong - it's a critical job. It's just that many software shops seem to be heavily...

My concern is how hard Bethesda will crack down on independent efforts that have gone ignored by Interplay. Couldn't they make alot of trouble for a number of fan-made projects?

http://www.render.ru/gallery/show_work.php?work_id=12747&gal_rub=1&gal_add=award#work Another one grabbed from render.ru. Hope its not a repost. Those Russians and eastern Europeans have a real knack for this stuff.

Not exactly clever, but well-targeted humor. Maybe it hits too close to home for some. :wink: (More than a few "Stanlettes" around here I'd guess.)

Gold has been attractive since it's discovery for ornamentation value, but needs a wealthy upper class to appreciate it. When you are scrounging to fill your belly, it's pretty useless. So to summarize: If you are developing some kind of Fallout game, and you decide to have "money" of some...

Oversupply shouldn't be too much of an issue, as it would just lead to price inflation. (Caps wouldn't really be in short supply either). I was thinking that survivors might just keep using them since there would be a demand for some exchange medium, and they would be used to using them. (I...

I was reading about some old Roman coins that had been found and began wondering why coins wouldn't be used in the Wasteland. I mean the devs just likely decided to use bottlecaps for PA "flavor", but how would you support that practically? Paper money wouldn't last long, but coins do and should...

The first ep wasn't bad IMHO. But yeah, they messed up on EMP. How did that kid's mom call from Atlanta? The EMP would've killed that city's local phone (switching) system before the physical shock wave hit her I think.

Most here should know about the Greenbrier [edit] "vault". It was closed for awhile, but has just reopened for tours. Cough up $30 bucks to get your cold war experience. The article has a few new pics. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/07/13/greenbrier.bunker.ap/index.html...

I think Montez has it exactly right. Business people think in terms of "brands", and a game franchise is just that to them. Treating games like other consumer products, they believe that gamers are loyal to brands and thus they can stick the label on anything and sell it.

It sounds like both Feargie AND Fargo were keen on the concept, if not the timing.

http://www6.falloutboyrock.com/falloutboy/bio.php OK, who did it? Anybody know if these guys are any good? (I guess it's too late to tell them it should be 2 words not 3.)

I agree with MCA's assessment there of New Reno. Glad he can see it that way and not get *too* defensive :) . It did have some fun moments, but didn't really fit.

Yeah, good use of fallout soundtracks in there. I keep thinking that place would be killer for paintball. Where does one get a toy(?) P90???
