Mike Judge didn't take Idiocracy seriously either, but that hasn't stopped it from being worryingly prophetic.

20? I remember seeing about half a dozen of these stupid fucking things getting shot down every time I walked from Sanctuary to the Castle. It's difficult to give much of a shit about game logic that the creators evidently put little to no thought into themselves.

Ahahahahaha.

I'm a modder. I hated this system back when it was introduced and hate it now. Main reason was and is the fact that this has nothing to do with Bethesda trying to give modders a way to earn money, as Hines' PR scumbag bullshit may suggest; it's about Bethesda cashing in on the work of others...

I sure don't do any such thing, and I'm yet to be smacked down.

This is really a gross oversimplification - the Fallout games have always been careful not to lay blame for the Great War on any one party. China was as complicit in it as the U.S. were.

Also, I didn't see this bit earlier, but: Yes, it really is staggeringly dumb. You wouldn't even need to filter the water in the Potomac for radioactive particles, it would have all settled to the bottom of the river or been washed out into the Chesapeake long before Fallout 3.

That's true. They could be experiencing water shortages. They don't mention any such thing though, so we can only guess. What we can surmise in any case is that the NCR are suffering water and food shortages because of internal problems. They could likely solve these problems if they had better...

Well, the Legion certainly don't seem to be having the same water shortage issues as the NCR. The problem with the NCR is one of overextension and greed. As a matter of fact you can use water filtration to solve both problems. Radioactive water is not radioactive because the hydrogen and oxygen...

A lot of what I'm about to say is stuff I assume to be basic knowledge, so excuse me if I come off as patronising: we don't have virtually unlimited drinking water, we have virtually unlimited water. Any water can be processed and made usable. The water on Mars would likely not be any more...

Yeah, but nothing in any of these articles about the world having run out of gold or silver. But... we have virtually unlimited... why would we...

I don't know what your source is on the precious metals - but food and water shortages are infrastructure problems, not natural resource shortages. Earth will never run out of water, and as long as it still has water and the ability to support agriculture, people will always be able to produce...

Hey, who am I to judge if people want to see naked Fallout characters in all their awkwardly animated glory. I'm definitely going to judge the people who put horse vulva in their game though, that shit is just weird.

It hasn't run out of resources, it's run out of oil - and I'm still not entirely clear on why we actually need more oil if we can generate enough energy via other means to put fucking rockets into space. The whole space colonisation quote from House bothers me more the more I read it. Search...

Direct quote: "Give me 20 years, and I'll reignite the high technology development sectors. 50 years, and I'll have people in orbit. 100 years, and my colony ships will be heading for the stars, to search for planets unpolluted by the wrath and folly of a bygone generation." He tells you exactly...

They're magical supertechnology, they couldn't actually work at all. But it's possible to reuse depleted cells yourself in New Vegas, so I guess yes. For sure it would be useful to mine resources in space, if it were feasible to do so without expending more resources to actually get into space...

He can totally die through natural causes. He can't actually live unless he's kept alive by advanced robotics inside a giant iron lung for the rest of eternity. His biggest accomplishment is somehow not going insane. Though I suppose whether or not he's entirely sane is also debatable.

It's run out of fossil fuels. At the same time humanity has developed fantasy fission technology light years ahead of anything we in the real world can realistically expect to have, and there isn't actually any real reason for why people should have to depend on fossil fuels anymore.

Deliverance jokes too, I'll bet.

Doesn't really matter how much expertise he has; it would be a ridiculous expenditure of very limited resources to attempt a space program in post-war Fallout. It could never pay off anywhere near as much for humanity as investing the same resources and effort into rebuilding on Earth. Unless...
