    Why does the Pipboy look so beaten down?

    IIRC that button was supposed to be labeled "Clues", but the function was problematic, ergo the designers went w/the knocked-off button look. Sorry, can't remember where I "heard" that. Edit: Ausir is quoted in the Fallout Bible 9 as saying that it was the "Clues" button in the FO...

    Pedro Almodóvar

    Ambitious one, aren't you? :lol: CC, I grew up in Europe, which means -- as others have pointed out -- that from an US point of view I grew up steeped in "foreign film". Ali: Fear Eats the Soul? Saw it on TV when I was 12. (Fassbinder died in '82 and they ran pretty much everything he...

    best music

    I would like to point out that an understanding of musical theory is not necessary for playing technically complex music. Lots of people do very complex things yet could not tell you the slightest things about the concepts underlying what they're doing. That being said, technically complex...

    Worst Place on Earth

    I was hinting when I brought up the UA's astronomy dept. in the "Mars or Bust" thread. :lol: (I admit that it was a pretty subtle hint, though. It could have been a case of someone like Prez sitting at NAU and having a laugh at a rival school's expense or even completely unrelated.). I used...

    Women have no souls....

    I did. That only made it worse. :lol: OTB

    Worst Place on Earth

    Any place you'r stuck in and can't leave. For me, right now, that's Tucson, AZ. :cry: OTB

    Women have no souls....

    Thanks for that, DJS. I've seen links to this place at Project Mindworks, for example, and it seems that quite a few people are convinced that it's serious. Personally, I wasn't sure, simply because I've learned over the years that the ludicrous factor isn't a good gauge for whether or not...

    Women have no souls....

    Um...would someone please clue me in here? It really seems that this Landover Baptist site is so over-the-top that it's a parody, not an actual organization. Any confirmation/denial on that to be had? OTB

    Mars or Bust

    And miss the chance to see the UA's astronomy department w/a crate of eggs on its face?! Not on your life!!! :lol: OTB

    Sports car of choice

    Sorry, its just that collectors get my goat. People seem to forget to live life and instead settle for vast amounts of brick-a-brack. Yes, but what other reason is there to own any of these cars? Unless you live in Montana or certain jurisdictions in Europe there really is no indulging in...

    film noir?

    I have that on DVD, but haven't watched it yet. I've actually had it for about six months. I couldn't get into it, but since I've been watching silent films lately I think I'll finally be able to give it a go. BTW, do you remember a while ago when you asked me about my film history...

    Worth Playing gets it a bit more

    You're quite right, Prov, but I think Wooz may be referring to the horribly aligned tiles in the core campaign that led to such niceties as sections of floor that could be shot through (e.g. Coldwater). Sometimes the engine also "hiccups" and you'll have people shooting through walls w/no gaps...

    Sports car of choice

    Why does everything have to be a financial investment? If I had been a car buyer in '64 I damned sure wouldn't have bought a Pontiac GTO w/389 tri-power just to use it as a 3,000+ pound paperweight. I'd have bought it to drive it, just like most people did, which is why so few of them...

    When is your Birthday?

    12/15/70 (Now I know why Req had the gall to call me "youngster". :lol: ) OTB

    First Game you remeber playing

    Asteriods, in an arcade, because it was the fucking Stone Age and we didn't have no fancy home computers then. :D OTB

    americanized crime?

    I find this bit quite amusing. There may be no honor among thieves, but professional pride is not monopolized by the law-abiding. However, the article itself does bring up something interesting. Namely, increasing tech levels making it far more lucrative to be a 133+ h4X0r than an...

    Fallout - Black Isle mod updated

    :cry: Uh...hopefully not carnally...or even semi-carnally, for that matter. (Cyrill Conelly?!) :lol: OTB politely ignores Kharns butchered German grammar. That's pretty impressive, actually. (No sarcasm there. At all.) For me it's only English, German (the latter is getting more...

    who would you rather- beyonce v. halle

    If I had to choose one it'd be Halle. Hands down. Sorry, but Beyonce looks like some angry baker clocked her upside the head with a rolling pin. Look at how much further back her forehead is set compared to her jaw. There's just no other way to explain it... Of course, if we factor in...

    Happy Birthday

    Yes, a happy birthday to Zoe/Leela! Edit: She also prefers to play female paladins/do-gooders for FO characters, if memory serves correctly. OTB

    FBI Warns of Almanac-Terrorist link

    Okay, bit of bad memory on my part it seems. A friend of mine was on sabatical and studying at UC Berkley a while back and I was sure she used the term "gray list", but it seems it's just a "hit list". I remember speaking to her about it very early in '02, but the actual incident took place in...
