    Today, 13-06-2008, is Friday the 13th. Any thoughts on this?

    Pfft. Think Friday 13th is bad? Wait for May 23rd.

    End of the (cyber) world in 2012?

    The effects of second-hand smoking are vastly exaggerated. I'm much more prone to catch lung cancer from living in a city full of cars with industrial areas nearby than from having grown up in a smoker household. The conspiracy theory about water fluoridation isn't about the health benefits...

    Fun Character Concepts

    You could simply drop the accents altogether, y'know? That would be the anglicised spelling.

    Fallout censorship by Beth: no childkilling, no groinshots..

    It could be called self-censorship (like the German version of RtCW not containing any swastikas to dodge legal constraints), but that's not what it is. They're already digressing too far from the original concept as that leaving out certain "uncomfortable" features could be considered...

    Alternate ways to get jumpsuit

    I think he's trying to make it so you have to find an item and use it to get the vaultsuit, but when he removes the item from the inventory, the model is reset. What about adding an object (that can't be picked up) and making it single-use? e.g. when you use it again, it switches to a...

    "Forgotten" PC games

    Oh, I never finished BG and BG2 either. The tripe was just too unbearable after I had gotten through only half of it. And Fallout 2 -- the Enclave was usually where I got bored. Especially that ridiculous maze.

    A bit of propaganda

    Anybody else notice the PA guy's hands are drawn pretty awkwardly? The whole thing looks more like an unfinished scribble than proper game art. Look at Uncle Sam's pose. Would you hold your head like that when you're being helped up? And is he actually lying on the ground or something? It...

    Fun Character Concepts

    I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be spelled. "mêlée" is more like it.

    Military Service-

    The fun part is when the alternative is facing the wall and getting shot. Sure, it would have been more moral to die rather than participate in the evil deeds expected of you, but when the alternative is dying, all morals end up being tossed out the window anyway. Also, people do a lot of...

    8/10 Obscure enough, but it doesn't look like much at that angle.

    End of the (cyber) world in 2012?

    Did anybody else notice the same group is busy posting about other conspiracy theories like the effects of flouridised water? They're spreading conspiracy theories with a melodramatic backdrop (mostly the music in their videos -- makes it feel important, doesn't it?), that's all. Also...

    Megamod 2.3 technical issues and suggestions

    I definitely agree with the idea of penalising the character for leaving the slavers. The charisma penalty makes sense, even more so the more crudely the tattoo is removed (even the most expensive and difficult option should have a -1 CH penalty, though, IMO). The whole post-factum karmic...

    Loremaster of Age of Decadence

    Egads. Please work on the contrast and the fonts. Hint: boldface is a cheap fix if your font is unreadable because of low contrast. Thin fonts are bad. Also: if you can't stand seeing how sausages are made, you don't deserve to eat them. YUM!

    End of the (cyber) world in 2012?

    Global access control by a handful of US companies? Yeah, right. That's not how the internet works. EDIT: After listening to the whole thing: I can't see a serious call for action putting so much emphasis on the lack of porn without the internet.

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 1.1 (Unofficial FO2 Expansion)

    Actually, yes, DO take it personally. Those word filters are in place because lazy AOLese is disrespectful to the reader. Being lazy about articulating yourself implies that you don't value your readership much.

    Megamod 2.3 technical issues and suggestions

    I can't quite agree. While leaving the slavers isn't necessarily a benevolent act per se, it isn't a heinous act either. If being a slaver is so evil, becoming one should be penalised. Look at it from an inside perspective: a year ago, you joined the Slavers Guild; you went with it for...
