    Australian classification verdict: It's all junk!

    Kind of funny that prohibition obviously doesn't work on drugs themselves, and now their trying it on videogames with drugs in them. Do you Aussies have black market uncensored game dealers? "psst, over here, i got the good shit, the blood isn't green and you can press the morphine button...

    Bethesda's Fan Interview #2

    No ones commented on the good news, Haircuts made it in! Too bad none of the original devs had the foresight to ship Bethesda their Pantaloons of Game Design +5 *microwaves a burrito and throws it at the ceiling fan*

    RM Milner on Fallout fans again

    That's what I was arguing. I think the fact that Pete Hines FO3 presentations to game "journalists" include a mention of the "rabid" fanbase as surely as they include demonstrations of vats would suggest the opposite. And how is what I've been describing not a boycott? From dictionary.com...

    RM Milner on Fallout fans again

    I only have a couple friends that would consider themselves hardcore gamers, and they're in the same boat as I am as far as fallout 3 goes. The people I was speaking of are 360 owning casual gamers, who would probably buy fallout 3 unless someone advises them not to. Regardless, my point was...

    RM Milner on Fallout fans again

    Explain why Bethesda would be at all concerned with fallout 3 detractors being impossible to ignore if they were not worried about bad publicity affecting their bottom line. My word of mouth alone will stop 5 units of Fallout 3 being sold among my friends and I, costing beth roughly 300 usd in...

    RM Milner on Fallout fans again

    Interesting article. I got a good chuckle over your comparison of Fantasy Football geeks to Dungeons and Dragons geeks. Some subversive D&D player should find a way to introduce D20s into fantasy football, our revenge would be complete. As far as people being defensive over that particular...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Cool stuff. While diablo was never one of my favorites, it's always been good for a few sweet demon chunking, potion guzzling play-throughs. I remember downloading the 68 megabyte diablo 1 demo on my sweet 28.8 connection back in the day.... summer vacation, staying up all night playing Pool...

    Any news on Wasteland 2?

    Just browsing through the available jobs at http://www.inxile-entertainment.com/jobs.html It looks as though they are developing something using the unreal 3 engine. They're looking for an AI programmer, preferably one with FPS and squad based combat experience. Also the last posted job...

    VtMB first playthrough version advice

    Right on, thanks for the info. While I didn't run into any bugs last night (cept for a couple CTD's while trying to feed, but as someone who has been PC gaming long enough to have a stack of bootdisks in their parents basement somewhere, that shit doesn't even phase me :) ) It does seem like...

    Yeh, confusing a trait and a perk this late in the design process.... I bet traits are gone.

    VtMB first playthrough version advice

    Hey, I just picked up bloodlines. I was couch surfing and didn't own a computer when this game came out and after playing for a couple hours I can already tell I've been missing out big time. Anyways, I'm going to start over when I get off work tonight as I accidentally left auto-level on...

    Fallout 1 Resolution Patch

    I've had that same problem playing through a few old games in XP. Whenever I bump into something like that, I try going to a menu (like the preferences menu or char screen) quick, it will usually redraw the whole screen. Hope that helps you out.

    Cali on same-sex marriage

    To thrawn: According to your posts you say you support equal rights for homosexuals, and your problem is having to "redefine" the word marriage. What possible vested interest do you have in defending the archaic definition of a word? If tomorrow someone finally invents the hoverboard...

    Valve on PC gaming

    You hear the line that rampant piracy is to blame for the decline of PC gaming, and I don't buy that at all. I think the problem lies more in the nature of the content. Ever since doom and warcraft were released, many of the games released every year for PC are stale rehashes of those...

    Favorite books / What are you reading?

    One of my favorites, read it a few times. I never have checked out the rest of the series. One of my friends who has read them all recomended that I keep it that way. Any thoughts from anyone on that? I've been meaning to check out Heart of Darkness, Apocalypse Now (which is based...

    The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

    At work with no speakers.... I did however go to a Gogol Bordello show the other night, fucking phenomonal! They're going on a world tour, I highly recommend seeing them if you get a chance. Even if you're not really into crazy gypsy punk music, these guys know how to put on a show.

    X-Com by Irrational?

    Another X-Com in the works So I recently read somewhere that Take 2 has the rights to X-com and is planning to resurrect it. The blurb I read said they're planning an actual sequel and not some Interceptor like spin-off. They could do nothing more than take the original and refurbish the...

    Replaying Old Games

    Games I always find myself going back to: Fallout 2: Played it through vanilla about 6 times, twice in a row last summer. Gonna snatch Killap's resto project and give it another go soon. I think as a game it's superior to the original Fallout, though having played through the original for...
