    Video Game Media previews Fallout 3

    And Fable's beginning? A first in games! Hahaha. That's rich. Sure, it's the best-looking dressed-up tutorial in gaming--but I don't think it's a first. Props to Nexus6 for thinking up Sims before I could. No one plays the tutorial twice.

    Play.tm interviews Pete Hines

    Say what you will about the phrasing--the question is out there, a fastball over the plate. And Hines dodges it! That's the issue I take with this interview. It's your typical argument from authority (a popular GW Bush defense): refuse to answer the question because the answer is irrelevant to...

    Eurogamer previews Fallout 3

    With all of this coverage of the first 30 minutes of the game and all of the embedded character options having been explained, is anyone feeling like it's not going to be very much fun to play through? I know Morrowind and Oblivion's introductions were only good once--then I made a save at the...

    Fallout 3 will not have a demo

    Translated: "And it doesn't really capture the profits of a game like an Elder Scrolls or a Fallout, where we can do whatever we want and charge whatever we want. So go buy it, assholes."

    Dialogue & Intelligence

    Hey, those screenshots we distributed to pump you up about our game--those aren't really examples of our best work. It's better than that. Promzies, k?!

    360 Magazine article contents

    The irony Per alluded to is so rich that I'm surprised it's not the focus of the topic. Dr. Strangelove is such an absurd positivist that he can see a bright side in the total obliteration of humanity. Are the writers suggesting Bethsoft's free-fire assassination of our favorite apocalyptic...

    Bethesda and PnP mechanics

    Total Immersion IS: Jumping everywhere I go Facing a wall and putting a rock on the forward arrow key Stuttering as I gawk at treez and rox Picking every flower Killing every creature Psychic guards IRQL errors and BSODs

    Bethesda and PnP mechanics

    I'd just like to add that what the article, and Hines, describe do not sound like fun. In my mind, an RPG (PnP or otherwise) is usually a strategy game where one logically completes quests in order to logically unlock important skills and continue advancing a narrative. An action game...

    Fallout on windows mobile installation instructions?

    Because it allows anyone to do so, but no one has yet.

    And Then School Became Fun Again

    I will definitely spend some time this Christmas break reviewing these movies for the class, and if people would like I will keep this thread up-to-date. You've all been a great help, by pointing to new media or by offering suggestions and critiques. Including Fallout in the course will be...

    And Then School Became Fun Again

    Things I've Added The Road is a great book. I've put it on my list to reread because I don't remember his style much--and if a high school senior would just chuck it at the sight of its length (or that it's an Oprah book!). I'd forgotten about Dr. Strangelove as I was recalling my list of...

    And Then School Became Fun Again

    I hoped this would be an attraction. I really need to replay FO to have a better idea of how it would work, but in my imagination it'd be a small group project, or a two week computer lab extravaganza. My study guide might look like: 1. Describe the competing forces in Junktown. 2. What are...

    And Then School Became Fun Again

    Hey, first post and just wanted to say this forum is a great resource for all things Fallout and post-apocalyptic. I haven't had to make a thread to ask any questions because a simple search has yielded numerous answers. I'm a high school teacher of English. Fallout, which I played numerous...
