After following a few threads like these, I often wonder how many of the posters are for real. In case you don't know what I mean, I've read articles about large companies hiring people to visit forums all over the net, for the sole purpose of talking up their products in discussions.

If he did die this way it would be the best way for him to go for the west, because the fanatics wouldn't be able to blame us for it.

On the 7.00PM ABC News in Australia, they said a secret document was leaked from the French Govt that says Bin Laden is dead. Could this be true? :shock:

I just saw the first episode. It was a little slow for me. Hopefully it will pick up. What I didn't understand is why the cars and power were still working after the initial blasts. I thought EMP bursts fry unshielded electronics. Perhaps distance is a factor?

It would be very easy to make a text based config file that different versions of your games could read from and save to. As well as multipath and consequences I suggest you consider including emotional feedback in your game. Fallout achieved it with the talking heads in the dialogue...

Roshambo: I've been thinking you should be working on an RPG, because you understand what makes Fallout, Fallout. Unless its all hush, hush I'd be interested in seeing an outline of your game. Is it going to be fantasy, post apoc or something else? Also what rule system are you going to...

I love it because it gives us Indies a chance to make the types of games the big boys can't. :) The real Satan in computer gaming is not the companies, its people's addiction to flashy graphics. If graphics weren't an issue, games would be cheap to make and you could have real diversity like...

I don't fear death. I fear the pain that is involved in the dying but not the being dead part. To me it is like sleeping. When you're doing it you don't care, because you don't know you're doing it. The idea of eternal life really scares me though. I think it would be fun for a while, but...

IMO the western allies are going to win every battle, but always lose these wars until they figure out how to fight them effectively. The way we are fighting now is similar to how we fought at the beginning of WW1. We were using outdated techniques (ordering large numbers of soldiers to...

I think the Island they are living in is some kind of a pocket universe created to conduct experiments in. When you stop pressing that button it sucks planes from our universe into it. Remember the dude who left in his yacht, sailed in a straight line and arrived back at the Island? Yeah...

Hey if you guys know of any struggling artists that want exposure for their music let me know. I would love to put some atmospheric music in OS.

I didn't like Lost season 1. There was too much talking and no action. But season 2 got me hooked. As for Galactica, I hate it but I still watch it. I'll watch anything that is Fantasy or Sci-Fi, no matter how bad. :) BTW In the last couple of weeks in Galactica they had Humvees and US...

Serifan: You'll get your money's worth because it has really good graphics. :lol:

You guys just killed one of my favourite conspiracy theories. Before I was sure it was a secret government operation, but the idiot savant theory really got me thinking. Oh well... :(

I was going to edit my post but you beat me to it. :) Anyway here's my addition: So instead of renaming the type of game, would it be better to create a strict definition of a quaility CRPG? The definition could be put a prominent place as a challenge and any games that met the criteria...

Destroy All Humans: That looks like a great game and I love the 1950s art. :)

I think you've just hit on what could be done to change things for the better. The type of game we like needs its own name and definition, so it doesn't have to compete with the shovelware. Think of simulations. People are willing to pay much higher prices for them even though they use the same...

You can do this if you're doing an easy degree, but if you're doing a hard degree (science, law, medicine, engineering), you won't get past 2nd year. I can't remember what the drop out rate was when I was at uni but it was high.

I think this is pretty close to an accurate description. However I'd replace Village Idiot with Simple. The weird thing is he's always been more famous overseas than in Australia, however when he died there was a huge reaction here. It could be that he represents Australian culture as it used...

Yes that would be better. I don't think there would be enough people in Fallout to eat. :) On the other hand Fallout 2 had a lot more people in the random encounters but they were armed to the teeth. Sorry about that. I guess we agree then. Cannibals that eat people to steal their "magic"...
