    Ow. Sands of Time is...

    Film adaptation of the novel. Pasolini did a few of those in the 70s. I still think it's a poor example of the current trend in Hollywood to make movies out of games, comics, etc. because: A. it's not current, and B. it's not Hollywood. As for how to do a movie with that in mind, well, the...

    Clearly you have a responsibility,

    Fallout: New Vegas interviews

    I think the original faction had such a brilliant concept it could inspire material for non protagonistic appearances in many games. The slippery slope started with Tactics where they were reduced to generic sci fi hi tec marines. And now we have this Fallout 3 BoS who is a pretty cool guy coz...

    Fallout: New Vegas previews

    In other news: Dynamite in stick form and single/double barreled shotguns are a great addition. It doesn't make much sense to be able to find higher tech weapons like plasma grenades, military rifles and lazers in a supposedly war-scarred wasteland, while at the same time more common weapons...

    Question to all vegetarians/vegans out there...

    That's a very restricted type of ecologic awareness. Animals suffer as well from destroying their natural habitats with soy farms and soy factories. Any kind of mindless industrialization that doesn't take long term consequences into account causes suffering and destruction. It's just that if...

    So, soy products are less industrialized? Or is soy industry less harmful to the environment?

    I don't know about spambots, (i would guess they are not really AI), but the chatbots i linked to use a system that works sort of like this: The bot has a set of prewritten responses and it uses its AI to guess which response or combination of responses and dialogue variables suits best the...
