I have a small reserve backlog of games I like to call "everything released after 2003".

Indeed we played some Mutant (and much more DoD). Apparently the first edition was largely a mashup of Basic Role-playing and Gamma World with local flavour. (I find the whole line of evolution from Gamma World over Mutant and Kult to 40K-ripoffs Mutant Chronicles and Doomtrooper to be pretty...

OK, how about something like this. You know another setting that makes no sense at all is the one in The Lord of the Rings, because of everyone's obsession with sports. Seriously, what is up with that. They're getting invaded by some evil overlord but all they can do is talk about sports...

Has the Planescape setting given you the impression that there's nothing to do in Sigil? Stuff that gets constantly traded through portals to all across the planes? Maybe you should just do some research.

Oh great, I followed a link from there to a "10 best RPGs ever" list: 10. Persona 4 9. Kingdom Hearts 8. Deus Ex: Human Revolution 7. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 6. Pokemon Red and Blue 5. Chrono Trigger 4. Final Fantasy VII 3. Super Mario RPG 2. The Legend of Zelda - A...

Wasteland had an atomic cult living in a power plant and turning into "radangels".

So there were a bunch of us watching stuff, and we decided to watch "Blink", and everyone liked it, and then we consulted some random "best Dr Who eps" list on the internet to decide what to watch next, and it was "Gridlock" by RTD, and it sucked deep ass, so our plan quickly became "watch all...

Take the forum index and subtract "Fallout 3 Discussion", "Fallout: New Vegas Discussion", "Fallout 3 Gameplay & Tech", "Fallout: New Vegas Gameplay & Tech", and "Fallout 3 and New Vegas Modding".

I think Cloud Atlas works as a movie, but the message breaks down in the end: "We should be nice to one another... because we'll be reincarnated and reap what we sow." OK, I don't believe in reincarnation so I guess I should go ahead and rape and pillage. Also, stupid moon goof in the...

Now someone searching the News forum for "shamus" and looking at the threads that pop up won't get the impression his final verdict of the game was "good but flawed".

I "download" your brain specs into this hypothetical perfect robo-brain. I then pull out a huge gun and say I'm going to shoot either you or your robo-replica. Will you shrug and laugh or will you each be pointing at the other guy? I haven't seen the series, but the movie was fairly sketchy...

You are not a human in this forum, Jebus. You are not a human in any forum. If the robot brain has a consciousness, it's not your consciousness, though. At best, it's a thing that thinks it's you. Why should we be giving rights to Jebus-things? It doesn't make sense.

There's a single nuke grenade in Wasteland, thrown by a tech in the Temple of the Mushroom Cloud. Judging by the in-game effects it just disperses radioactive material, it's not a nuclear explosion or anything.

It has a small effect on the reaction system which has a small effect on the behaviour of a small part of the characters in the game. In any given game it's likely to do absolutely nothing.

I wondered why I hadn't put anything in my guide about this, and checked the script. It's apparently a bug, although the intended functionality is not entirely clear. If you access a container, it sends you to the skill use procedure. But it then asks if you were using the Steal skill, and since...

The ones where they either give you just a float or some short dialogue, checking character level. Edit: I took a closer look at the script, and it seems the actual bug is that node references 01 and 10 have been switched around in talk_p_proc (so the actual level checks are fine). The...

The stat penalties go away after a week; your accumulated radiation doesn't but is harmless unless you get radiated again. So in theory a mutated fruit could mess you up if you've been radiated a lot and didn't take RadAway, but it's very unlikely you'd get to that point. NPCs don't get...

The primary reason for keywords in Wasteland was they didn't have global variables as such. They had a number of workarounds to carry information from one map to another and keywords was one.

Never mind that all that happened is consistent with a run-of-the-mill meteor doing its stuff. :roll: :roll: No, clearly some pixels on blown-up YouTube footage indicate a rocket hitting a spaceship at an altitude of 20 km and then sauntering off because it's late to volleyball...
