Yes, the community is indeed built on more than the game it is founded upon. No argument there, whatsoever. However, what I'm saying is that it will mutate, and in so doing it will not be the same any longer. I'd say probably within the next two years it will be practically unrecognizable...

Viktor -- who was apparently an emperor of Rome in a past life -- seems to be presently suffering from an infatuation w/Latin. :lol: (This is not a bad thing, of course.) I have it on the authority of the psychologists' cabal that this is considered something of a vice in the current way...

No, things weren't quite that bad. There had been one new topic started in GD within the last week. I don't exactly agree w/Killzig's methods, but I am forced to admit that it has breathed a bit of life into the place again. However, I'm not sure how long that spark will last. It took...

I should qualify that. I have that bit about the buttonhole on hear-say. Yes, obvious reasons. Like Wilde's trial. :lol: If I have a favorite line it's probably Algernon sayin, "...it's as true as any remark in civilized life should be." Civility being the death of honesty and...

I wonder if there's some double-entendre w/"bread and butter". I know that the play is a basically one huge in-joke about being gay at the time. For instance, the reference to a "button-hole" Algernon makes refers to a recognition sign used by homosexuals. Of course, the great thing about...

Er...just ask Viktor about the "L" in British weapons nomenclature. :lol: Yes, that's the very part! (Plus it comes up again later when Gwendolyn is at Jack/Earnest's house and she wants bread and butter rather than cake.) Just plain old bread and butter, eh? Er...yum. I guess...

You could get stat enhancements in either game, but not any sort of implants. I thought about the BoS after I posted and they might be the best bet for something like this. They have the tech and the need for it, also they live sequestered in bunkers and outposts, away from the prying eyes...

Thanks Odin, now I can replay w/o fear of further derailing the pic thread. :) Viktor: I should have been more specific. The link you provided is about a very recent thing. I heard about this recently when I was watching the '52 version of The Importance of Being Earnest. Since that play...

That, good sir, is one long litany... OTB

That's probably why you couldn't get them made in Vault City proper. They had the knowledge of how to do it in their database -- which probably is both a combination of pre-war data and their own findings -- but the doctor was unwilling to perform the operation. The big issue w/things like...

Yes, those. I'll wait for Odin's call then. I don't want to seem like I'm begging for an email addy, because I'm not. It's just that it's the addy I used for registering for this forum and lots of other stuff. Cheers, OTB

What Requiem posted is basically what Larkie told me over ICQ. I wasn't online when it happened, so I felt it would be better for someone w/first-hand knowledge to report it. My first experience was when I logged on this morning to return a PM and I was greeted with a message board that...

Well, I'm sipping on some Earl Grey right now. Don't have any biscuits, though. Care for some buttered toast? BTW, what is this "bread and butter" alternative to cake at tea time I heard about? OTB

You two be careful where you drive those things. I seem to have misplaced my...dentures... :oops: OTB

Long story, from what I gather. Someone else will have more details than I. Looks like we're refugees now, Silver. So load all of your belongings up in a cart and bring them over here. (DaC posters coming over, please be on your best behavior.) Cheers, OTB

Kharn! I've got three words for you: Oil-of-fucking-Olay! :lol: OTB

Cheers! Very gracious of you, good sir! (I'm standing at attention as I write this. Right in front of a sign that states "Peace is our Profession". :lol: ) Edit: Ack! I forgot to mention earlier that it is indeed shameful that Bowling for Columbine was marketed as a "documentary". To...

And by the time the Great War broke out horses weren't even used for transportation any more except on a very small basis; other than that they were really more of an expensive pet. Lots more cows than horses around = cows more like to survive. OTB

But what about films like The Mouse that Roared? That certainly had an agenda, just like Dr. Strangelove did. More to either one than simple entertainment and creativity and I'd say that most films that have lasting appeal are ones that go beyond it, although it's not necessarily a requisite...

Are patches necessary? In a word, yes. However, you probably won't need all of the patches. If you're playing a non-English version of FoT all you'll need to patch it w/v1.25. If you're playing an English version, go w/v1.27. The humongous patch if only necessary if your game is...
