Has anyone ever tried playing as the Ash character from Army of Darkness? I have, and found it to be a serious Role-Playing experience. Take one-hander as a trait (because he uses the sawed-off shotgun and the chainsaw, as well as the power fist) Tag melee weapons (given his skill with...

"It's quite possible that there wasn't 5,56 NATO (or NATO while we are speaking about it). 5mm ammo could be a result of a research program similar to RL SPIW." The problem is that in-game there is .223, which is the same as 5.56 NATO, just a civilian derivative. So it appears that the .223...

If you have a small UMPC like a 10" MSI Wind or especially an EEEPC 1000, that is one way to get it looking good in its native resolution on an LCD screen.

Fallout timeline divergence and effect on technology and military history I have tried to piece some things together as how our idea of the Fallout P.O.D. around the transistor in the late 1940s might have worked out in terms of weapons development and such. If no transistor (we assume it...
