Yes there is. It's the same reason people eat salisbury steak. It supposedly satisfies without being worthy of remembrance. Unlike Chinese food and Fallout. You always feel like there should be more.

Meh. SP's played it, I think. He just won't admit that it sucks because then everyone who says console games suck will use that game to justify all of their ideas.

Socrates said, "all that I know is that I know nothing." Arguably the fundamental first step in attaining wisdom. And making people question themselves gives me a raging hard-on, which is why I pose counterpoints to "accepted" truths, when "accepted" truth is dogmatic. On Big_T_UK's note...

Only a slight misunderstanding on your part. NCR, or the New Californian Republic, was formed from the gunrunners and the many Southern Californian communities with help and protection from the Brotherhood of Steel. Shady Sands became the city on the map that is labeled NCR, one is a part of...

That doesn't explain why there's a cash register in the guard's station where no one actually buys anything. Look, I'm going to be frank with you, and this isn't an attack or even directed at you. I know you have your own independent opinions, since you put forth the "if it doesn't...

Strange cash register with a mousepad and keyboard. There's a hand icon that, in the Fallout 1 demo, allowed you to download information off of it but that in the final two games doesn't do anything. A lot like the big computers in the Vaults, in fact. Completely separate note: Holy...

SONUVABITCH! Everytime I write a post, I get kicked out (copies and pastes this time). Fuck. Dark Corp APTYP There's your answer, Dark. Encounters are designed to kill you, they are a gameplay element, not a story element. Vault 15=no gatling/energy. Raider camp=no...

Not spaceships, then, space shuttles. Special Cases for Canon: Ah, Zax was in Fallout 1. I wasn't sure which game it appeared in. Was he the one that played chess and you needed an insane intelligence to beat him? I wasn't sure about that one. But that still leaves the bionic implant...

I had a pretty long post that got swallowed. Crap. I'll have to figure out how to shorten it, so bear with me. I'll even mark places where I think I might be wrong to show it won't degrade into a fight. Of course, you'll have to say more than, "Fuck yourself, you fucking fuck, and fucking...

Okay, I've played that game four or five times and I just looked through the Fallout Bible, so I'm pretty thoroughly convinced you just made all that up off the top of your head. That said, the Fusion race began in the mid 21st century in response to tapped oil supplies, not the space race...

You have to see the episode. I won't even mention it. And Troika making Fallout 3? NOOOO! They haven't hit the bullseye on a game yet.

IPLY's suing for the rights to Baldur's Gate III.

Point of contention. Or your character could have one gun with poor damage and hefty amounts of ammo and another gun with heavy damage and small amounts of ammo.

Family Guy was ridiculously offensive at some points, and I realized watching reruns of Family Guy that they cut all of those parts for the Cartoon Network run. Probably the whole episodes, too, since I have yet to see Kool-Aid man jump through the wall and scream, "Oh, yeah!" Coincidence...

Nice Av, Stampede, I'm at the end about now. But OPM is Sony's official bitch magazine and they gave a 2.5/5 (5/10) to FO:BOS. And Champions of Norrath used a redone engine different from BG:DA2. That's what the Benjamins'll getcha.
