In FO2 they say Deathclaws come from iguanas. The doctor in Vault 13, Joseph, says: Which is misleading, really. IRL there is no "Jackson's Iguana". There is a Jackson's Chameleon, though. Apparently the "iguana" bit is used as an alternate name in the game- or, equally likely (given the...

To answer this, I have to paraphrase someone. Someone doing an impression. An impression of Christopher Walken. :P "Centaurs never scared me. ... Deathclaws scare me. ... Because they're fast." Here is the original audio, for those who are interested. ;) Okay, maybe I didn't have to...

I got the FO/FO2 bundle from my little brother as a present back in 2005, I think it was. I was instantly hooked- I must've devoted a good 200 hours to playing them in the first month, lol. That dropped off a bit with time, but I still played a bit every day for a long time. Then my PC crashed...

LOL, that's not even the worst I've ever done to myself. If I'd had a digital camera about fifteen years ago you could have been looking at the burn I got the day I was casting a guard for a sword and the mold cracked. Liquid bronze right down the front of my leg, left some nice burns. I had to...

Alright. I'll dig around today and see what I can find. I know I backed up most of it on Cd, it's just finding the right CD. I've moved three or four times since then, god only knows where it could be. (And then there's the fact I fail epic-style at remembering to label my back-up discs...

Hmm... I've not played Wild Talents. A few years ago, just before/when/after Gluttoncreeper released their Fallout-based PnP, some people around here were working on something in d20 system that wasn't too bad. It pretty much fell by the wayside when Rosh took a walk from NMA, though. I...

You got the idea, almost. Try switching it backwards- not ones taken from you, ones you've taken. Not something I'm proud of, but I don't hide from my past, either. Survival often isn't pretty. If I could leave, I would. I was gone for a few years, but I've got some serious family business...

I was having a bad day, one of those days where it's just one thing gone wrong after another. I got pissed while arguing on the phone with my ex about getting my son for the weekend (or not getting him, since she got her way yet again- the dirty twat :evil: ) and I slammed a ceramic coffee mug...

Heh... I think that even if they DID want to make all nicey-nice with Vault City (for whatever reason and for however long) five minutes with that bitch Lynette would have them busting out a nuke to shove someplace close to the stick up that woman's ass. (I always make a point of locking her...

I'm going with Electromagentic Cartridge or Electromagentic Coil. Gauss is a unit of measure for electromagnetic energy, and has been since before the Fallout timeline was supposed to have split from reality ("sometime after World War II" was I think how it was put by the developers). Anyone...

Amen to that, mate. No matter who you are, how skilled you are at talking your way out of things, there are some times where it's just unavoidable. I mean, where I live is a pretty damn peaceful place, all told, but I've managed to get pretty messed up several times in the last couple years...

I would have to agree with the people who have commented in favor of Krav Maga. It's a down-and-dirty, no-nonsense form that doesn't give a damn about looking pretty. It strips away a lot of what I dislike about the older, more common forms, mainly the attitude that x attack has to be met with y...

Figured I might as well throw a 'hello' in here, considering I've been gone for... What? Nearly two years? I was fairly active when I was here before, but a few little things came up that kind of stopped that. A few little things like a marriage, having a kid, getting divorced, changing jobs...

My dumb ass in front of the camera for once... And some recent proof of my dumbassness... (sharp stuff + finger = ouch!)

What's odd is that I've NEVER seen that before. Not on a government document like that. (It was from the state census bereau.) It's just kind of shocking that people are getting so P-C these days. Man, if the people who write those things are so afraid to offend people, they shouldn't get...
