Helmet needs a bit more metallic hue, uniform needs to be a bit more Soviet-like brownish military green. or even And the Soviet flag, while a solid choice, pun intended, is not easy on the eyes... Put him against a decidedly Russian background: or a bit more themed...

Seconded :) This could have been milked, like, I dunno... uh... a dairy cow? @Tagaziel - Obviously, German gas companies are EVIL (quite unlike the gallant and handsome British gas companies ;)) But their "obligation" notwithstanding, in any civilised country you need to have an actual...

Russia has oil, gas, iron and great spaces which could easily have been developed as well as U.S. with its interior, with the right management. Afghanistan can at best be the #1 supplier of rocks. I agree, BUT... why not import enterpreneurship from abroad, just like the USA did, and...

OK, so take away the autocratic rule, and leave the gas and oil exports. The riches are still there, waiting to be exploited and sold to the entire world without the obstacle of being viewed as a backwards, totalitarian dictatorship. I don't think that there are many instances of "everybody...

So the recent literary thread and watching documentaries on altenative history got me to recall a story, "Buran Blows From the Far Side" by Jarek Grzędowicz. The premise: A middle-class city Russian goes on a vacation in a friend's forest cabin, and as a harsh Siberian storm is about to cut him...

Hey Tagaziel, if you sold the apartment and bought into the 10K tier, you will get to pet a Corgi! :P As it promises to combine my three of four most favourite things in the world, namely steampunk, postapocalypse and elaborate choice-to-consequence endings, they will get my money.

Kaleb, żyjesz? :o I don't know about Jargo, but I'm still alive and kicking, and I still have some of the files for the mod. :)

I guess it depends on how far back are you willing to trace back this ancestry. A Gurkha soldier might have well been a liason of the British armed forces in the US during WWII, and might have settled there afterwards, so it is perfectly possible. But by 2077, I would imagine the US would have...

Since this involves a project in the works, I'm moving this to Fallout Tactics Modding

I'd give my right kidney for someone to make a Fallout-like RPG out of Marek Baraniecki's "Cassandra's Head" "I.P.". Synopsis: After a nuclear exchange Theo Hornic, a "head-hunter" roams the country seeking out missile bases, from which, years after the war, errant control computers that he...

I disagree with you there, alec. While the end boss is a disappointment as a challenge, the ending - and the endgame choice that you are faced with - is one that I remember most fondly of any RPG I played, I think, quite a bit more than Fallout's. It is one that made me think, a lot, and the...

So you're saying that you're going to search youtube for "bums kicked in the nuts" on Christmas Eve? Also, the Queen has excellent health and great physicians, I would worry more about the Saudi King, the Pope, or that prick Mugabe ;)

The thing is, the judges aren't frickin' paid to not listen to a testimony, regardless of how boring it may be. They are paid to listen to ALL the testimonies and evidence presented, and then dispense a verdict. Besides, it sets a bad example - this time the defendant is a murderous loon...

True that, alas, with his passing none of the Great ABC is no more.

This is enraging indeed, but it is the box of tissues that disturbs me the most.

Venus took his spirit into space! Hah, BN, he beat you to it! Pixote, I mean, not Bradbury. Tag: I think he's referring to Fahrenheit.

I'm not too certain if it's the best possible foundation, as I think a "Latexwandenfarbe", while great for covering troublesome surfaces, can be notoriously hard to paint over it if it's too "gummy" - so ask the friendly Boche at the local IG Farben outlet if it takes to such treatment. I...

Wait... did you dream sleeping in a pulled over car, dream of sleeping in a pulled over car, or dream of sleeping in a pulled over car in a pulled over car? Stalker Baba Yaga! :D The scariest one? The one where I'm tied to a hospital bed and about to be put it a cylinder that looks like...

My thoughts exactly :) Also, I agree with Warren there, don't take out more money than you can pay back at the end of the month, set up a reasonable monthly limit and bar internet/telephone/mail based transactions (a good bank should allow this level of control over your card). Set up an...

If a lawyer could lay coatings, how many layers could a lawyer lay? Congratulations Tag! Nothing like homeownership to make you realize the dire straits of the everyday upward struggle called life :P As I understand your floors are in a good condition, but what about ceilings? They...
