Not a rhetorical question, agreed that there are surely a million good reasons to leave interplay. I would assume though that he would prefer working on a fallout mmorpg over a wasteland spinoff action game. And given this quote: I don't think I'm being unreasonably optimistic in thinking...

When inXile purchased the rights Fargo apparently posted on the yahoo wasteland group "snake squeezins" that he intended to make an "old-school rpg" and was getting suggestions and thoughts on wasteland. Now to go to a tiny community and say something like that and not follow through would...

I haven't read anywhere that Beth would be able to take anything Interplay has made so far. All in all it might be better for the game and Interplay if it isn't Fallout. Interplay gains all creative control, and doesn't have to share in profits. Regardless, with some creative accounting...

If you like dungeon crawlers but don't want to go way back to bard's tale / dragon wars/ early M&M, Wizardry 8 has aged pretty well. I found a copy not to long ago and enjoyed it quite a bit, kind of the swan song of the crawler genre. It's been over a decade since I've played it but I...

I'm optimistic about Alpha Protocol. I'm thinking Obsidian will do much better with an original IP than they did with their other titles (which I liked as well). Even if the shooter / rpg hybrid isn't your thing, the characters and story may make it worth it. That and Age of Decadence are...

I've never played through a game where at least one country didn't defect to the aliens, so it's not a huge deal. You can prevent this though by sending out interceptors to patrol areas of high activity that are outside of your radar range. Every alien ship is actually on a specific mission...

Turn based molotov cocktail spam mi amigo!

Cyberdiscs are a real pain when all you've got are the starting weapons. I like going straight for laser rifles right away, some suggest plasma, either way works, but lasers are faster to research. If you load every time a single guy dies you will be playing this game for a very, very long...

Wow, where'd the screenshot of Duke Nukem Forever come from? I always assumed that DNF was more of a "concept game" that was played by the people who occasionaly think and talk about it, thus without ever actually being released in a tangible form it would be played "Forever".

@SimpleMinded Yeh, the Diablo 3 community manager guy Bashiok shopped that up in a reply to something on the D3 forums, along with a boss in a Stay Puft marshmallow man outfit. http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16935 And in case anyone missed it, some of the devs were...

Like in Fallout 1 and 2, only controlled by players? Don't see the problem here. Go back with a group or don't go back. Or go back for revenge and get it. Like in fallout 1 and 2, only controlled by players? Someone gets annoying: /mute Hopefully not, Fallout's gear system doesn't...

I've been asking myself the same thing since I reached the age of reason, only I ask it about Christians. But then I remember the answer: Because people should be free to believe whatever kind of crazy shit they want. Where do you get pepperspray that only works on Muslims? But seriously...

If this is a grey-area topic, vats away. Though I can't see how, if I taught my toaster to play mp3s it wouldn't be a problem right? Just wondering if anyone out there has tried the Twilight Princess hack and installed the homebrew channel on their wii? I'm going to give this a shot when...

The new resident evil games are a far cry from RE2. RE4 and 5 are much more akin to a regular third person shooter. The horror themes are still there, but the scary moments are more like, "holy shit zombies are coming in through the windows and the toilets and I'm running low on ammo and when...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptic_ulcer I knew a kid who used to always vomit blood in the morning after a night of heavy drinking, which for him was most every night. Went to a doctor after about a year of that and was told it could prove fatal eventually if he kept drinking constantly...

sweet sweet schadenfreude. The ones where they're on the verge of tears are the most delicious of them all.

Just finished an X-Com run through on Genius, I shoulda picked Superhuman because it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be and now I have to go back to it again some day. (oh noes! ;) ) I guess the demo for Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is out, gonna go take that for a spin Just...

What were those fools thinking??!! They should have laced their media with trojans and drm schemes! Great news for the Python chaps. Anyone seen any data on what kind of money Radiohead's free album made? It would be interesting to compare to their previous standard releases. It's...

I got stuck there my first time through as well. There's that pit that you can use a rope to get across but if you try jumping in, you have to split up your party and climb out one at a time. That was before I ever figured out that you could split up your party so I thought I was fucked and...

Agreed. Love his flicks, including this one. I had the chance to see Brazil at a midnight indie theater showing last year, love that one too. Things do get a bit tricky and paradoxical whenever you toss time travel into the mix. Hell, arguing over time travel paradoxes with sci-fi nerds...
