Well, 'must have' varies from person to person. I would recommend Dread Dogmeat, Mart's Mutant Mod and ACE Cripple Effects no matter what. F3C has some very good bits (the xp system, ap use in real time, etc) but also some bad bits (like having food heal way too much, etc). I would recommend...

Loving this mod... Making AGI affect AP regen is great. The more you tie gameplay to the stats and skills, the better it will be for it. But please keep AP use in realtime play! It really is a very well designed system and you shouldnt scrap it. In fact, I tend to use my own compilation...

Cow brains (in a burrito)

Actually, McCain was highly critical of Bush tax cuts (saying the same things Dems do - that they benefit only a small percent of the population in any meaningful way and also that they are fiscally irresponsible) during their primary fights for the nomination and since. I figure he would...

Lots of people can be 'blamed' for WW2. Yes, the Treaty of Versailles was the "politics of hatred." Then again, if congress would have listened to Wilson, the US would have gotten into the League of Nations and overturned alot of the treaty's overly punitive aspects. Similarly, if Russia wouldnt...

Its pretty hard to blow the Holocaust out of proportion. Whole aspects of Nazi policy at home and abroad were dedicated at slaughtering Jews (look at some of the causes of their defeat in Russia - many attribute some of it to focusing on funneling Jews to Aushwitz rather than strengthening troop...

I actually perfer the mobile science lab. Being able to carry all other vehicles and infinite stuff seems kinda cheezy. The player should have a finite amount of stuff he can carry in the wasteland. Also, the mobile science lab thing just has more personality and helps make Macgyver characters...

Wow, I really like how you guys approached vehicles there. Each one seems to reflect how a particular player might approach the game - the loner, the wandering scientist, the traveller, etc. That is another great way to have the player define the character.

Actually, Kerry was very much in favor of action against Saddam well before 2001 and since. He repeatedly called for increased attempts to fund insurgencies against Saddam and increased international pressures with regards to inspections. Im not sure why Kerry voted against action in the first...

Actually, the US has always been slow to enter military conflicts. The most unpopular wars have always been those that have been looked upon as unnecessary. If Germany would not have asked Mexico to invade, Wilson would not have put us on a war footing in WW1. Even in WW2 AFTER Pearl Harbor...

Theres reviews of them here: http://www.badmovies.org/movies/

Stupid little twists are great. I have been a fan of them ever since watching old Twilight Zone reruns as a kid. Still, the reception to this movie has been pretty lukewarm (1 star from Ebert!). I am thinking rental.

Im not going to get into this with you.

I wouldnt go that far. Social stigmas are part of the issue but not all of it. Shapton certainly presents another perspective. I dont hate Sharpton for his blame the man perspective. Its valid. I dislike Sharpton for his actions. He has incited bloody antisemtic riots and falsely accused people...

I voted for Excalibur but, in truth, Monty Python did it best.
