Where are you getting rounds w/mercury in them? Are you referring to rounds w/fulminate of mercury in them which is supposed to act as an explosive? Yes, you'd be running an extreme risk using ammo like that. However, that's why it's part of the re-loading process. You also have to punch...

So you don't think there's any potential for abuse w/this system or others like it? OTB

I'm w/you on this one, JJ86. Castro isn't a gem, but he's better than Batista was, by far. Also, for all of the lampooning that Cuba's socialist medical system gets here in the states it seems to me a "no-brainer" that it's better to get 2nd rate medical care than no care at all, which was the...

Yes, I've heard of Carnivore, that friendly little program designed to get the "meat" out of emails streaming across the ether. Frankly, things like this scare the hell out of me, especially when thrown in with the morass of recently enacted legislation designed to help the so-called War on...

Reva remembers correctly. There were supposed to be mini-games for the PipBoy that you could play, and if you scored high enough your character would be given the perk. It wasn't fully implemented, so the only way to get it is by cheating. Either by editing a saved game, or using the...

I know what you mean, APTYP. I've spent enough time in RL stooped over picking up brass to not want to sit there hunting for very small icons on-screen and clicking on them. :lol: Brass has to be resized after firing. It's the second step in the reloading process and even the simplest...

Re: Oh yeah! That quote was found atGame Banshee. Damn, I only havea 633 mhz processor... :cry: OTB

I don't listen to radio anymore, and haven't for quite some time. Mainly this is due to the fact that no radio stations locally really play what I want to hear, but it's also due to the commercials and the complete idiocy of DJs (especially the "morning show" variety). I also don't like having...

Any relation to the German word Jura? OTB

DR, Machiavelli says essentially the same thing in his Art of War and that was in 1512. He insists that the oath of enlistment for an army has to be of a religious nature since if a man breaks that he fears retribution from above, while with a purely secular one he fears only his fellow man...

I wonder if he did anything w/my suggestion for idiosyncratic characters, for instance a tough-as-nails fighter who scoffs at death, but is arachnophobic. He seemed very excited about it at the time. Can't wait for this game to come out. Never thought I'd say that about another D&D...

I didn't say you said it, Kharn. I was addressing something that I've seen not just here on NMA, but also DaC and the IPLY boards. I did not wag the Finger of Scolding +3 at you, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. :) Before I get my copy of FO3 and find Das Panzerlied in the intro...

:hehe: Check out the Civil Defense emblems, just like my av over at DaC...except they inverted the triangle for some reason. Sounds like a worthwhile game. OTB

:lol: We just have to make sure that BIS uses the Inkspot's version of "We'll Meet Again". (Who says record labels haven't always been interested in milking songs for everything they're worth?) Incidentally, this brings up something that some of you are getting wrong. Namely, that FO has...

MP doesn't make sense for games that are about individual choices. If I buy a CRPG it's going to be because it offers me the opportunity to play a character, not because I want to blast people across the ether. Cooperative MP might be fun for FO3 or any other CRPG, but these games tend to...

Yes, that's what exactly I was getting at. The French had serious problems w/this concept even as late as WWI. If you've ever heard of the Chauchat light machine gun you've probably heard of what a useless piece of dung it was and how prone to jamming it was. This was due to the fact that...

The reason most Europeans couldn't cope w/American-style assembly lines has a lot to do w/the vast geographic distances in the US of A. Europeans were used to the idea of a "fitter" who would take a replacement part and a set of files and make the part fit the particular device. This worked...

Here's one for you: There's plenty of scriptural justification for Gwydion's stance. Then again, there's plenty of scriptural justification to reject it. I'll let other people puzzle over the contradictions. I'm not up for induction into any hidden Mystery. OTB

Re: About modifying Fallout Tactics Some things can be done, others can't. Dialogue Trees: There are some rather primitive work-arounds for instituting these, but they are far from what was to be had in FO/FO2. So this one's a no-go. There are some replica maps of FO/FO2 towns...

That's not a very good comparison, though, is it? You're comparing apples to oranges (no pun intended) when you're comparing conventional to unconventional warfare. Most conventional armies have a very poor record when confronted w/unconventional opponents. The US in Vietnam, the Soviet Union...
