    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Because mankind meets the Predators in 20th century. They've landed on Earth. And the Aliens are from 23rd century or something like that. They've been found on a remote planet by some Terran spaceship. Until then, humanity has never heard about them. They are from different universes...

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Dear sir, Could you please kindly explain me how the aliens and predators "fit together", for heavens sake? Should someone make a movie about Enterprise fighting off TIE fighters as well? Captain Picard fighting Darth Vader?

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    So another movie-based video game sucks ass? What a surprise! It never happened in the past! It's almost like... I don't know... a game-based movie being a piece of crap! Milking a franchise over and over again can't produce a pile of shit, you know. Like never ever. Speaking...

    Meteor strike in Russia

    Dude, you can get there by car - so by local standards it's not that remote :) The whole Ural area is the biggest metallurgical and industrial center in Russia since Peter the Great, no wonder there are big cities there. Sorry, couldn't resist playing a bit of Education Man

    Meteor strike in Russia

    Well, this one exploded right above a densely populated city, 27 kilometers (16 miles) above the ground. People there are just extremely lucky that it didn't hit the ground or exploded about couple of miles from the surface. There would be a small Tunguska incident right in the center of the...

    Meteor strike in Russia

    A big meteorite, tens of tons, exploded near Chelyabinsk, a city near Ural mountains, causing a shockwave which smashed a lot of windows and left 250 people injured. News in English here, they have a video as well (though they've replaced the audio track, since the original one contained what...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    Something is clearly wrong with the HR patch then, since I remember playing Civilization 5 on Linux/Wine, full resolution (2560x1440) and it was almost as smooth as on Windows. Usually games on Wine run just a couple of percent slower compared to Windows. I bet on some GPU memory/RAM transfers...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    Doesn't Mac OSX have Wine? Anyway you can just install VirtualBox+Windows XP and play FO there. Even with the emulation layer the power of today's machines is by an order of magnitudes more than what FO1-2 need. Check this thread, it contains some pointers.

    Fallout 1 mod Fallout Fixt - next release will be some time in Jan 2020

    Hi there, Running 5.3 here. I'm not sure if this a bug or I've just messed the game somehow - that woman, Blades leader in Boneyard, has misteriously disappeared from the building. She was in the room and next time I arrive there - she simply isn't here. Next, somehow Smitty doesn't offer...

    Duke Nukem: Lost in New Vegas (Updated June 12th)

    I think the idea is that some weapons, existing in our world, could exist in Fallout universe too, it's perfectly ok. I don't buy the 1950s restriction (it's not like plasma rifles existed in 1950). But if you give every weapon a name from our universe, then it becomes too much. It's not like a...

    Duke Nukem: Lost in New Vegas (Updated June 12th)

    What's up with FN FAL, P90, Magnum .44 and Desert Eagle in FO2 then? If FO2 is not "lore friendly" enough - Desert Eagle and 9mm Mauser are in FO1. Surely they know their stuff better than Black Isle devs. It were fellow lore junkies who created Fallout Universe, after all </irony> My...

    Obsidian v Bethesda. Bugs!

    Regardless of product quality, taking on someone's market requires at least 3x resources as the defending side has. It's pure marketing. Indy developers just haven't grew to this size yet, and no big publisher will risk doing something original.

    Onholyservicebound, I've been asked for explanation of my impression - I've given it to you. If you don't like it - piss off. If your point is to prove that I lack "VG version of empathy" (where VG stands for Virtual Girlfriend, I suppose?) - ok. Have it your way. As to humor - look how...

    Faction joined in NV?

    Sorry, but how's that supposed to work? Followers are ok folks, but they just don't have something that takes to rule Vegas. I mean... balls. King is right when he says "Just don't ask Julie what to do, she will probably tell you to hug someone, or something like that". This is not how it works...

    Is Wasteland 2 Going to Req an Internet Connection?

    Steam works just fine in offline mode (it's in the menu), so you don't have to have a connection constantly. Steam isn't like Ubisoft DRM, where if the connection breaks - the game stops. Nothing like that. Initial connection requirement and some DRM is a side effect of a digital...

    Mmm... Yes. Exactly. Cass has gone through much, lost just everything. She has no home, no family, and now she has lost her business and her name. She isn't bitter, she is pissed off. And this is gone after your complete her quest. She never complains that you make her carry too much, she is...

    Cass definitely has the most interesting personality. Just my kind of girl :) I find Veronica to be too bitter and annoying (sig). Boone is a fine dude. Silent and dedicated - a good brother in arms. Still - Cass is much more fun to have around. ED-e is a must have. I like that he...

    Duke Nukem: Lost in New Vegas (Updated June 12th)

    I guess he's supposed to beat the shit out of the "Kings" on Freeside, since there can be only one King :wink: Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum!
