ARGO, I am not talking about whether an average joe can use it or not, only about whether it CAN be used. BTW, the weight issue was precisely why M-16 was picked over M-14 (ease of handling by an average GI) and why Navy SEALS still use an M-14, which they call "Battle Rifle" - supremacy of the...

Welsh, I stand corrected. The numbers refer to "nuclear weapons" and not ICBM's specifically. Here are the official numbers from 2003: US had 10,455 Warheads in its stockpile with 7000 being the "approximate number of operational strategic US nuclear weapons". At that time Russia had 8,400...

During the Cold War US supposedly had ten thousand nuclear missiles with two thousand on standby ready to launch. USSR had two thousand nuclear missiles with 400 on standby ready to launch. At the time China supposedly had 400 uclear missiles with 20 on standby ready to launch. China was the...

Looks like this Hines fellow is doing to the public what Henry Ford once did, when asked about consumer choice - You can have any color Model-T Ford you want as long as it's basic black...

ARGO: Much as I am concerned about your ***fealings***, is the FN FLA C7 .556 or .762 Cal? one and the same? Or did the C7 go to the .556 NATO round? I wasn't talking about grunts versus SEALS, only about the kind of weight that can be handled on the run, GIVEN the apporopriate levels of fitness...

Og course I talked to the Master - he told me about Unity and his plans to meld human, mutant and cyber into one. Then I started shooting it out with him and won. I did not realize at the time that you can role play the entire encounter without gunplay. Also, I got to the Master after completing...

I just seen "28 Days Later" Excellent film, esp gioven the low budget it was made on. Acting is commendable. Keep an eye out for the sequel - 28 Weeks later.

Mikey, I didnt talk to Master, I killed him, so I didn't get a chance to find out what his plans were. Zaron, Modernist art is idealistic - think Grecian sculpture. Nazi art and Soviet agitprop are examples of modernism in art. Modernist art is actually very concrete and actually has nothing...

Sander, with FEV sterility is an unintentional byproduct, any kind of institutionalisation will prevent family life from happening if it's extreme enough, also as an unintentional byproduct. The comparison is more valid than you think, especially if you consider the Supermutants as a military...

Zaron, I doubt that the designers of Fallout knew of Transhumanism, it's a far too rescent philosophy. You can read unintentional symbolism into any good game, because the designers would endow their game or a story or any work of art with what they consider to be important in their mental and...

Dude, it's not much heavier than an M-14 or a .50 Caliber sniper rifle. US Navy SEALS are trained to carry and fire belt fed M-60 MG's on the run as their squad automatic weapons. It's a question of training and fitness. As to finickiness, know what happens to am M-16 after you drop it in the...

Blade Runner

This island had coal mining on it and was apparently used as a coast guard base by the Japanese. It looks like it was abandoned before a huricane and never resettled.

Wamingo is right. It looks like artwork for a first person perspective game. This oesn't look good for fans of traditional Fallout.

OK, scratch... scratch... Make it 3... happy? But then you gonna have to boost up some other attribute and THAT would unrealistic it's probably too high as it is...

I don't know. To me it doesn't have the grim and grittiness of the post apocalyptic world setting of the actual original PNP game Aftermath! or the original Twilight2000, or even of the First Edition Gamma World! Fallout the First one for that matter or the Wasteland! I am not surprised at...

In the real world FN FAL was superior to the AK's, M-14's and AR-15/M-16's when it first came out. It was DESIGNED after AK 47 and was specifically designed for the rifle cartridge blah blah blah. Because of its cost, FN FAL was used by the palace guard elite forces in various little juntas...

Strength - 4 - Fat and large framed. Used to exercise. Perception - 9 - World class shot. Trophies to prove. Always spot small change on the sidewalk. Endurance - 6 - Lifetime of backpacking. Charisma - 4 - Social skills of a zombie. Remedial customer service training to compensate...

OK, if everyone seems to believe that Bethesda will not do a good Fallout 3 and ruin the series (as was done with Fallout Tactics?) why not try to organise the fan base and develop a non-commercial indie Fallout game that the fans will enjoy. I reealise that it may be almost impossible to pull...

Morbus, their DUTY is to maximize the shareholders profits by way of market economics of doing whatever will sell the most copies at the moment. Now, if the Fallout fans were shareholders... Wooz, have you got any better ideas... go right ahead. How far along in the development is the game...
