Turgidson: General Per called Strategic Review Command Headquarters shortly after he began the review round-up. I have a phone transcript of that conversation if you'd like me to to read it. Muffley: Read it! Turgidson: Ahem... The Duty Officer asked General Per to confirm the fact that he...

A lot of criticism regarding Fallout 3 involves the lack of realistic means of sustaining the people and places we see in the Capital Wasteland. Probably the most glaring example of this issue is Megaton. And so I asked myself a question: How did Megaton begin? A sustainable population of...

"hay dudes can en1 give me a plsma rifle n sum ammo????? i got sum junk a stuf 2 trade PLZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!1!!11" No matter who develops a Fallout MMORPG, it's still going to suck.

Actually, I was thinking "Is that Mass Effect?" I also noticed that the trees in Alaska look a lot like the trees in post-apocalyptic DC.

"Beep beep." This is so great; I think it cured me of several terminal illnesses.

Yeah, but Daggerfall wasn't playable until 1998 (with the 2.13 patch), so let's just split the difference and call it a day. :)

Platform Nation has really helped me to understand Fallout 3. The RPG elements are, like, hidden and shit. There's skills and perks and an inventory system, which are all hidden... somehow. Oh, and it's a really deep RPG with, uh... hidden RPG elements.

Wattz Electronics: They made so many wonderful products that can be found in Fallout 1/2, but I don't recall any Wattz products (with the possible exception of holodisks), or even a mention of the company, in Fallout 3. Poseidon Energy: Another major company absent from Fallout 3.

Some people like McDonald's hamburgers more than a thick, juicy cut of steak grilled to perfection.

We already have that absolutely awful, terrible, disgustingly horrible remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still (lots of action, too much CGI, no plot and terrible acting - it's so mainstream it hurts), so just give it a little time. But look on the bright side! Once all movies are exactly the...

So Fallout wasn't a mass-market game ten years ago. No wait, Fallout was a mass-market game ten years ago! I try to make my opinions fit reality. Some people prefer it the other way around.

Fallout 3 Balance Overhaul is, in my opinion, the best collection of Fallout 3 tweaks and changes. It's practically all you need to make Fallout 3 a much, much better game.

"We released an unfinished game and now you fellas have to put down another $30 for content that might only amount to a few nice items and a few more hours of gameplay." Crap, I hope it's not the Gauss Rifle! And hey, does anyone remember when Oblivion modders found things like horse armor...

I was only partially wrong in equating the terms "race" with "species" and you are correct; "race" is more accurately equated to "subspecies." From the glossary of Biological Anthropology (Stanford, Allen and Anton): "In biological taxonomy, same thing as subspecies; when applied to humans...

Biologically, "race" and "species" are two terms for the same thing. Since all humans are of the same species, we are all of the same "race." In other words, Nullifidian's biology lesson is about a century out of date.

Giant laser-shooting snow tank. This is what the original developers would have done if they had computers instead of stone knives and bearskins.

Something tells me that you won't be interested in my Fallout 3 review for Bestiality Enthusiast Monthly. :(

This is an excellent point that people sometimes miss now that games are often expected to be hyper-realistic and completely accurate representations of "alternate universes," so to speak. My favorite example is Tycho from Fallout. He uses the standard character-in-leather-armor sprites, but...

I applied your exact logic to parallel situations, clearly showing the absurdity of your thinking, and all you have left is a personal attack with a delightful misogynistic twist. An attack that indicates a complete ignorance about my opinion of Fallout 3, no less.

If you don't like [insert book title here], then write a better book or shut up. If you don't like [insert movie title here], then make a better movie or shut up. Here's a second tip: If you don't like No Mutants Allowed, make a better Fallout fansite or... well, you get the idea.
