You can purchase .223 pistols from Kel-Tec right now! My hand hurts just thinking about shooting that thing. Not to mention I don't think it would fit in my pocket very well :twisted:

Yes, I read the full thread and thats why I said I vote not like I'm some kind of ultimate authority on the subject. Whatever, he's an evil little bastard for sure regardless.

I like FOT myself. I find it to be a pretty fun and nifty game overall, but it definately breaks the tradition from Fallout 1 and 2. I like all three of them, and I rotate through them all periodically.

Umm, in Fallout Tactics, you can recruit Pip Boy into your squad as one of the special encounters, so I would have to cast my vote as to saying that he's called Pip Boy. Now then, how about screening up some t-shirts? Give ya $15 for one and all you have to do is put a gold stripe down the...

So another RPG developer bites the dust. Remind me if I ever manage to get an independent company going to stick to the shareware / indie business model. It seems like almost every time a game developer signs a deal with a distributor, the distributor ends up killing them off. It must be...

Fallout Type weapons I agree on that. Even things like the HK G11E seemed to be pushing it I thought. The hunting rifle is right on the mark. If Fallout wasn't set in the US, you would expect AK-47's to be pretty common I think. I love JA2, and when an English version of this comes out I'm...

Guiler's FAQ lists some of the squares where you can get special encounters. http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/fallout_tactics.txt For example The encounters are seemingly random, but they can only happen in certain squares. Be carefull doing this because if you get every...

I never kill them, but it takes some serious screwing around to accomplish this. First, just avoid the Austin Powers guy entirely. Then, the guy on the street, after he runs out of darts he will chase you. Lead him back to the little booth with the gate switch, let him follow you in, punch him...

There should be a lot of explosives and timers around. The easiest way is to plant the plastic explosives and use radio detonators all set to the same frequency. When you have them all rigged up just get back and push the button. You can throw extra mines and such next to the plastic explosive...

Answers to your Linux questions Hey, just checking in. I see I have a couple questions to answer. DarkLegacy writes: Sure. Here's my list. 1. Gentoo - The Best, but also the hardest to install and learn. Awesome performance and fantastic compiler system. Made for Linux experts by Linux...

I managed to get Fallout: Tactics working in Linux with great performance! Here's my install notes. - Machine: I'm using an Athlon-XP 2400+ with 1G of RAM. - Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 built with ALSA sound - OS: Gentoo Linux compiled with the following settings: CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp...

Well, at least they are patching the game, and in a somewhat timely fashion. That bodes well. A lot of these new "bigshot" game companies seem like they fire the programming staff about a month before the game is finished and then stick up some cheezey support FAQ with crap like "make sure you...

You know, after I made that post it did occur to me that I would probably get BBQ'd :-) I do kind of like FoT though, and I like how combat is more than standing toe-to-toe with a bunch of enemies and shooting each other in the eyes. But combat is typically pretty important for RPG's, thats...

I think I'm going to have to get this one. I've scrutinized the webpage and this looks pretty amazing. It looks to me more like a Jagged Alliance 2 type game running in a Neverwinter Nights type engine. Since I really like both of those games, this definately seems like something for me. Have...

I noticed that also. I tried a lot of things and then just gave up and started shooting. No idea. I toyed with this also but couldn't figure it out myself. I think you go to the site marked on your map, a bit South of Rampart, and look around, there is a notebook on the ground and...
