    Fun with Rogueness

    Just thought I'd share a great old moment.. In the beginning it always happened to me, when the Leader went Down, that Rose went Rogue and I was like "shit-shit-shit.." just counting seconds before I would bleed out and it would be Game Over, but it was actually quite inspiring and convenient...

    A BioWare made Fallout

    Well... 0. If Troika had still been around and had been more successful with Vampire: Bloodlines they would have owned Fallout.. Lots of 'IF's and purely hypothetical, but I am not really sure that Fallout would have gone 3D the way Bethesda did it - it would probably have happened eventually...

    Fallout 4 is really disappointing.

    I hope it's just a showcase of the latest Fallout engine, with a crude and shallow story slabbed on for the sake of presentation, hence the lack of a Title - just like last time. Hopefully they'll be able to get someone who knows how to turn it into a really nice experience, assigned to it, soon...

    An enemy you hated most in whole fallout series

    There is a saying: keep your friend close, but your enemies closer and that explains in a way what I was doing, because my companions were the biggest threat at all times, especially in Fallout 2. I always had to make sure they wouldn't mess up and kill each other by pushing them around and heal...

    The Origins of Fallout, by Lead Designer R. Scott Campbell

    Nice read, but unfortunately I didn't get very far before I was distracted by missing words, errors and typos. Proofreading doesn't do it unless you fix it too.. :wink: I would like to submit my suggestions for corrections, but I am afraid I am too tired at the moment. What format/document...

    Nuka Break Episode 1 released on Youtube

    Hmmm.. To me, it feels like the show has been losing direction steadily. The tag line being "One man looking for a perfect nuka break" has gradually lost point as the story revolves more and more around Scarlet and her stalkers. The last episode feels like a very thin and vague script, more like...

    Fallout Archaeology: Foreigners about Fallout

    Interesting. It feels like a world apart. Now that I look at them closer I think those reviews do a pretty poor job of showing the fun of the game by just looking at the pictures.. I have a tendency to favor pictures. The last book I read had text in bubbles.. Showing a glimpse of some of the...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Not really cancelled

    Taken from their gsc-game.com website: "Currently GSC Game World works on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - the official sequel of the best-selling game series. The studio also plans to create a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-based movie and TV-series to be launched simultaneously with the new game." Sounds like a lot of...

    Ravaged — a post apocalyptic online multiplayer FPS

    Hm.. "first person shooter online multiplayer" I guess it might be for those that think Fallen Earth isn't quite shooter enough and too much anything else. I just note that the driver ram into a concrete pibe at high speed and just bounce back.. Would have been cool with some explosion and...

    Feargus Urquhart on how Obsidian and Bethesda view Fallout

    PR or not, I guess it's only common sense that Feargus Urquhart would be cautious about his statements for the sake of retaining a professional and productive relationship with the customer (Bethesda).. But I am still a bit surprised that it boils down to just being about Pip and Vault.. Unless...

    Old World Blues wins 'Best DLC' award at IGA 2011

    There were some moments of stellar voice performance, dialogue and oneliners and the area had a really nice layout.. Like the wasteland compressed to cut down distance between areas.. But the good things were pretty far apart. Very poorly balanced and the oneliners.. There are just too few of...

    GSC Gameworld is shutting down; no S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

    It's an even greater loss than when Bethesda took over Fallout and made FO3.. Before FO:NV it was the only source of post-apocalyptic 3D gaming and it still is a much better shooter in every way.. A little odd that they never really bothered with RPG elements.. Would have been awesomeness...

    7/10: The review problem

    I think you forget that a review is not an examination, but a highly subjective piece of work. The understanding of such a review is derived from the understanding of the reviewer. Knowing what the reviewer stand for makes it easier to decide if his opinions are representative of your own. I...

    Fallout: New Vegas is gaming's Lawrence of Arabia

    I smell a deluded fanboi. I haven't noticed much in the way of moral qualms about anything in this game apart from the hindsight notices of failed quests that gives me more in the way of a feeling of remorse and regret than anything else leading up to the kill. Killing is too easy, because...

    Nuka Break Episode 1 released on Youtube

    Funny. Maybe it's just a matter of time, but it seems like the interest is actually fading.. :wink: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5E9CAB444A9CECB8

    Rude awakening: Why Fallout: New Vegas felt incomplete

    Well.. The pc actually wear a suit from vault 21 at the beginning, but maybe (s)he just happened to pick it up or (s)he is a vault suit 21 fetishist or (s)he is actually from that vault.. I think it's the rather thin premise of carrying out your contract as a courier combined with a rather...

    Lonesome Road Holotape #3

    I forgot that I had switched on repeat in WinAmp.. I was really beginning to hope for a "Blah-blah-blah, stfu and die!" option. :lol: I think the challenge of this DLC will be to endure that sleep-inducing monotonous soulless ranting. I got absent minded after three seconds. I have no idea...

    Unmasking the Gamers: Chris Avellone, part three

    Nice read all around. "When things get tactical and I need to know where everyone is on the screen at one time, iso’s the way to go." Personally I feel there is much more to it than that. The real-time 3rd person world perspective generates too much boring and forgettable combat, while the...

    Rude awakening: Why Fallout: New Vegas felt incomplete

    Interesting title, but what's the conclusion? "You don’t spend the game evolving the player character, you spend the game recovering them." This?

    Chris Avellone interview

    Noone gives a shit about DLCs?! :o I miss the hard copies, especially the ones with extra 'physical' content. I got a poster with my copy of Planescape:Torment and probably a manual.. I got maps and flags with the Might & Magic games and so on. :wink: I get nothing, but bad health...
