    Tactical squad-based games

    I liked the first and the third, but I thought "Terror From the Deep" was derivative and not well thought-through. I mean, come on, throwing grenades underwater?

    Fallout Tactics: Movies

    The book and the movie are nothing alike. The book is much better if you like power armor and a thought-provoking read. The movie has nothing to do with the book, aside from the names of three characters. The only person who created the movie that read the book was the guy who did the...

    Tactical squad-based games

    If you feel like going to the trouble of getting X-COM Apocalypse to work under Windows XP, its a terrific game.

    Fallout Tactics: Movies

    I tried my best. You tend to lose your perspective after watching it twenty times to get the script. ;) I wasn't sure whether is was supposed to be "Rycheck" or "Razcak", as the dude seemed to be a mixture of four characters from both the Starship Troopers movie and the book.

    Here's what he says: "Ten-hut! All right you mutated, redneck, green-skinned sacks of irradiated flesh, listen up! My name is Paladin Raczak [pronounced "Rat check"]. I'm responsible for training you backwood maggots in the art of war and survival. In my time in the Brotherhood, I...

    Doom 3 Goes Gold (Warning - Spoilers Within)

    I was saying that the minimum requirements seem a little a low, if you didn't gather that from the fact I said "Don't most people have the last two things on that list already?"

    American Canadian Culture Clash

    Guy sounds like a deserter to me. For the kind of military profile he has, it sounds like he might have more than one enlistment before wanting to be an objector. If you keep re-enlisting in the military, it says to the Army that you want want involved. Also, the military is all...

    American Canadian Culture Clash

    What was the story behind the American refugee? Did they flee Detroit or something?

    American Canadian Culture Clash

    Well, Sovz, unless refugee college if free, I still gotta pay. Anybody want to hear my Quebec story? Well, here it is, even if you don't: Sometime in the early 80s my father had to go on a business trip to Quebec. All the Quebecians were giving him no regard because he didn't speak...

    American Canadian Culture Clash

    I guess I would recieve no monetary benefit from infiltrating across the border, getting fake papers, living amonst your kind undetected and attending a Canadian university, then. That's a shame, because as you can see I already had everything planned out.

    Doom 3 Goes Gold (Warning - Spoilers Within)

    According to Slashdot, this thing requires 384 mb of RAM, a 1.5Ghz processor and no less than a GeForce 3. Don't most people have the last two things on that list already?

    American Canadian Culture Clash

    That reminds me of the show "The Kids in the Hall". They would constantly say, "To Canada! The best healthcare system in the world!" I heard you guys get free college education if you want it. Is that true?

    I was kidding around because I thought you were kidding around. I didn't mean anything by it.

    Where'd you find that? My FO1 and 2 discs are lost to the sands of time, and I need replacements.

    Is it worth pushing skill levels above 100%?

    Percentages aren't meaningless. But the "%" symbol after a skill is - its just decoration on the interface. All the skills have a minimum of 0 and a max of 200 or 300 points, depending on which Fallout you're playing, and without modifiers like perks, traits and armor. These skill points are...

    I usually do this stuff and two in the morning while searching multiple threads. I get confused sometimes. Shortly after I picked up Max I pumped him full of psychos and afterburner, and then I decided to feed him some Mentats so he'd get skill points if he leveled up. That overdosed him...

    Is it worth pushing skill levels above 100%?

    I don't think that the comment was made to me for any good reason, so I responded in kind. The only thing I can see that I did wrong was I forgot to put the word "read" after "I've" in my post. I don't proofread so well at 2 in the morning.

    Huh. I never got that dialogue option when I was good. Maybe you have a trait or perk I never picked for a good character? There's so many options in Fallout that its almost impossible to tell. I didn't realize you were talking about Tactics. There isn't any jet, and afterburn addiction...
