    Comics and graphic novels

    I would read my father's comics when I was a kid, so I got to read quite a bit of old silver age stuff, and even some WW2 era stuff of my grandfathers. Some of the titles that have stuck with me over the years are the original Gold Key 'Magnus, Robot Fighter,' The Invincible Iron Man, Jonah Hex...

    Using dogs as chick magnets banned in Saudi Arabia

    One of the members of the Spacing Guild, unless I'm mistaken. It's been awhile. I wonder if they have such animals as seeing-eye dogs for the blind in Saudi, and if those would be confiscated as well by the 'Virtue' Police (I love that, lol).

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Just finished going through F1 as a melee character and then installed Homeworld again to bask in it's story, er...glory. Currently installed are DoW: Dark Crusade, F1/F2, Homeworld, WoW (been cancelled for months–friends had talked me into activating again), and lastly Mechwarrior 3 and it's...

    Why is no one talking about the Watchmen trailer?

    Cautiously optimistic, but not holding my breath–that's for sure. I'm of a mind that it is impossible for anyone to make a faithful movie reproduction of anything Alan Moore has done. Not saying that they can't be decent movies, but that they will seriously stray from the source material...

    Fallout 3 Hands-Ons #10

    I think I prefer this to the 'Gain Agility, Luck, etc' and wotnot from F2. Especially if it only has one rank. Be kinda ridiculous if it had more than one rank. Still curious if surgical improvements are included.

    The Dark Knight

    Alright, good to know, everything I'd read, from magazine articles to forum crap, hinted at it. Since I hadn't read anything that definitively stated otherwise, I wasn't sure. I'll add your argument to the weight on the other side of the coin.

    The Dark Knight

    Two things. Well, and only one is negative. #1. Christian Bale's voice at times. I can understand the reason for the rasp, but there were one or two times that it was laid on way too thick. Works great in most scenes, such as when he "interrogates" the Joker, but near the end talking to...

    Fallout 3 DLC Exclusivity speculation

    Here's hoping that the option [modding tools] is available with F3. If the mod kit is seen as direct competition for DLC you can bet which one would be chosen.

    PC Gamer US Lays Hands on Fallout 3, and Shacknews too

    Well, we actually do, unless BS contradicts themselves. It's possible. I would have vastly preferred that they just tone down the level of chunksplosion to absolutely zero when killing children, since the main argument seems to be that you cannot represent killing children in that level of...

    PC Gamer US Lays Hands on Fallout 3, and Shacknews too

    Really doesn't change the fact that how they are handling it is a pretty poor design decision.

    PC Gamer US Lays Hands on Fallout 3, and Shacknews too

    I'm actually curious if you'll even be able to return to Megaton's location if you choose to set them up the bomb. I'd hate it to have some artificial barrier. If you couldn't go there because of the rads, fine, but at least let me walk around the town and admire the devastation before I croak.

    E3 interview with Todd Howard on Gametrailers

    Fallout 1 had the surgeries, Fallout 2 had both surgeries and perks for stat increase, and both of those systems are much more versimilitudinous (sic) (thanks BN!), obviously, than bobbleheads. It's a design decision that I just can't fathom. It just makes jacknosense. You could (barely)...

    Fallout 3 Good Life Trailer HD and Stills

    It's the Enclave. Confirmed to be in, and most likely, imo, the main antagonist group. Well, could be super mutants (unlikely, being as they've so far only been portrayed just as walking chunksplosions waiting to happen), or the BOS splinter group (allied with Enclave?). Anyhow, it's just...
