Turns out, the trade window bug was simply my low reputation!  However, Mick & Ralph would not shun me or make any indication I was not allowed to do business until I improved relations; the "see goods" option was met with "take a look at what I got!" , and nothing would happen.

There's also a nasty bug with Mick's gunshop in Freeside. I'm not able to get the trade window to pull up on either merchant. Tried re-booting saves and game, but haven't tried clearing 360 cache.

I've got the box which is near perfect, and the manual and contents in mint condition. And I even have the original strategy guide for Fallout that is a bit worn. These things I just could not give up, not for less than $200 maybe. Even then, I doubt I could part with it! The game box along...

Simply to satiate my own curiosity, but how much would one be willing to pay for a near mint copy of Fallout PC US/Big box?

Habanera is great too! The Muppets are great, Beaker, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear... Ahh, television when tv was good tv!

It's hard to get excited about a technology that is little more than a turn table record player in principal. When they come out with solid state crystal storage media, then I'll be excited. I have a Blu-ray player that also plays DVDs, and an LCD HDtv that displays only 720p in its native...

It is a bit unusual to see The Rock and Armageddon as a Criterion collection. I was under the impression that any Criterion film went through a vetting process to select a film that had cinematic significance to the art.

I haven't seen many of the Criterion versions of the films I like. The only one I have is RoboCop. Judging the quality of that, I'd love to get more. There's a small problem though, the Criterion version of RoboCop advertises commentary by Paul M. Sammon, the film buff historian, and his...

Better writing? Is that too much to ask for, expect?

The score for Icewind Dale is my favorite of the scores from RPGs of yesteryear. Jeremey Soule's work has always been good, but I think his best was for Icewind Dale. Most recently I thought the soundtrack for Dead Space was excellent! The music and the game are really a single experience...

I can safely say I've seen every ending in Silent Hill and this is the best. Not because it makes the most sense, because it just fits for such a moody game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufuWi0EhhyM This is technically the bad, very bad ending of the first Silent Hill. Still my...

I have a friend who has purposefully avoided playing the other Fallout games so as not to be disappointed with the 3rd. Still haven't made up my mind if that was a smart move or just a really depressing commentary on the standard of current games.

Just an addition to this discussion, there was a random encounter within F1 where your character hits a bit of wasteland that is irradiated. It seems like this random encounter had a higher chance of happening on the part of the map nearest The Glow. The radiation in Fallout 1&2 is more...

No, this one. Great synopsis of the book can be found here: http://www.comicbookbin.com/hardboiledcomic1993.html...

The trucks and vehicles in Hard Boiled all have the same bulky tech, with vintage styling that Fallout has. A very great look and design choice. Makes me wish Geoff would do a comic version of the story of Fallout. (Just Fallout as envisioned by the original team.) Maybe we should pool our money...
