    History of NMA

    Wow, why did I fail to notice this topic before? It's gold! The memories... Around '98 - I was 15 then - my mom & stepdad moved to some middle-of-nowhere place, where I had my own studio on their grounds, and pretty much nothing else. Cutting us a driveway with a chainsaw got me going for a...

    Vote for your top 5 changes from fallout 3 to new vegas

    I REMEMBER every settlement from the original FO's. They all had a certain feel, an atmosphere. I want it back. BoS can remain, being closer to their original base of operation. Losing the Mutants (ogres?) as opponents wouldn't bother me at all. Balance: Why implement RPG skills when they...

    FO: A new hope

    Howdy all, it's been a while. Please allow me to elaborate a bit on my absence: NMA has been one of the very few communities I've been active in. Mainly because most residents share some of my opinions on gaming. The way the gaming industry is moving, away from half forgotten pearls as FO...

    High Fidelity anyone?

    Heaphone lover here too, got me a Beyerdynamic DT770. Attached to Maya EX7 USB soundcard (7 mono channels over RCA). It's a good setup for the laptop too, to take it along for parties etc. Combined with my collection of 15000+ of digitized songs, there is no other way. I'm connecting a new...

    10 best games.

    Number 1: Fallout 1 & 2. Tried it, was too hard. Some months later, tried again. Some year later, well what do we know, I understand English. And good humour. Thanks BIS :) No order, just good gaming: C&C, Red Alert, Warcraft & Starcraft Jagged Alliance 2 MechWarrior series HL, HL2 &...

    The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

    To follow up on Horse's gravedigging in awful (visual) horrors from the past: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGzGfym-7Y Thought it couldn't get more hilarious? Think again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv5OwTiBEiQ

    The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

    :clap: In that time, people everywhere looked weird. But true, the Germans always had some more liking to those trashy and dark looks. Even now, youth still colours the hair in trashy pink, purple or blue. And not the cool Manga style, no, just one stroke of colour - or more rainbow style...

    What's your MBTI?

    Although in general you are correct - knowing what area to damage to instantly kill - punching someone is not how I envision this trade. Rather using a blade, poision or gun. And by gun I mean carefully planned marksman shot, no drive-by uzi spraying. Finesse is necessary if this is to be a...

    How to prepare fugu for dummies!

    Ah well, too many Belgians on TV going abroad (Beijing express, some survivalist shows, ...) to get a sponsor. also, remember Belgium is small and divided into 2 language parts (like your home country :) ) - we've got like about 8 tv channels! But hey, I work at the radio, maybe there's...

    What's your MBTI?

    And was it accurate? I seem to hover between INTP and ENTP. Got traits of both. Am considering a career as assasin, tips on how to get started are welcome.

    Pirates!

    Like there are pilots for ships (people who guide it through shallow/narrow/harbour waters), one could introduce "gun pilots". Take aboard some of those guys when the dangerous area is ahead, blam blam, drop 'em off when the area is cleared. Perhaps even a good career choice for pirates who...

    Dutch coffeeshops: a thing of the past? Dystopia!!!!!

    True, even kids drank that kind of beer. It was very low on alcohol %, had a lot of grain and (slow) sugar in it, so it was quite healthy - next best thing to bread. About smokers costing the system more: Not every smoker gets cancer. Why do smokers cost more to society then? Garbage disposal...

    How to prepare fugu for dummies!

    Oh, didn't notice who started this post! Starseeker, how are you man? And your girl friend? Did Beijing change a lot after the olympics? I dropped my cell phone in water and lost all numbers, yours included :s I'm thinking of Japan next year, maybe I'll drop by for a visit on the way back...

    See now why I mocked the Snoop remark? ^_^ Sorry for gravedigging.

    Specs for new weapons

    Nailing enemies didn't work for me. Once killed some granny in Megaton with a cooking pot though, it was stuck on her skull afterwards. Didn't try Teddy Bears yet, would make a good laugh killing muties with it.

    National Guard Training Wing

    There are 2 entries/exits: One with a staircase or so (possibly from another area). The cracked ceiling is only an exit. If Fallout is your life, then I feel sorry for you.

    Dutch coffeeshops: a thing of the past? Dystopia!!!!!

    Where do you guys think the high price of tobacco comes from? That's right kids, that's all taxes. So I think smokers contribute to the health support quite enough. I do agree that some public places should be left smoke-free, people still have to be able to choose to inhale smoke or not...

    How to prepare fugu for dummies!

    Same. Why, are we going to die, knowing we've chatted a bit on the webby, played some games, had some girls and got old? Come on, you've got to try some stuff you can amaze your grandchildren with. Even if it's grandma ending the story with "and that's the last I saw of pops".

    The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

    Of course I was only somewhat provoking this kind of response... Wanted to see if you still had some flame in you ^_^ Or maybe my long leave of absence has reset me to familiarity status of 10/100? Anyway: RATM - People of the Sun (they were sweet in Paris, Franch are crazy on this kind of...
