    RPGs for the stupid

    Hell, yesterday at work, I sat in a little tiny building and made three BattleTech dropships... being a security guard is really relaxing.

    The recipe thread

    Excellent greasy unhealthy breakfast dish served at a motel restaurant in McAlester, OK. The Hungry Man Special: Layer the following items on a plate, in order from bottom to top: Hash browns Bottom halves of 2 biscuits 2 sausage patties 4 strips of bacon 2 scrambled eggs Top...

    Fallout D20 good to go!

    So does it use the rules from the 3.5 books or from the d20 Modern series?

    Whats on YOUR christmas list?

    1-- All the campaigns and characters I made for D&D, BattleTech, and Shadowrun that I abandoned and threw away. 2-- All the consoles, games, and accessories I've sold in garage sales or pawn shops. 3-- My first car, which I admittedly should have taken better care of. 4-- My cat, the...

    IPLY Q3 and FO MMORPG

    Up until you started talking about luck, I was reading through your post thinking "Star Wars Galaxies"... and others here could probably name other online RPGs. My question is: how would a Star Wars Galaxies clone in a post-apocalyptic setting not be as lame as an Everquest clone in a...

    MechWarrior Ultimate config... (Your oppinion, please)

    Well, if you're interested in MechWarrior, and BattleTech (the board game it's based on), I'd suggest going to the official site, http://www.classicbattletech.com. Small warning: those of us who have been playing BattleTech for 5 or more years generally dislike MechWarrior 4... and the...

    MechWarrior Ultimate config... (Your oppinion, please)

    MechWarrior 4... blech. If Microsoft had struck to the traditional design system, I would have enjoyed it. Sure it might not have been realistic in MW2 and MW3 to throw just any weapon configuration on a 'Mech, but for those of us who played the board game and read the novels, that...

    How do you like Final Fantasy VII??

    Back when FF7 first came out, I didn't play it on the basis of graphics alone... it seemed that Square was trying to mix the old graphics style (square-sprite characters) with polygons... everyone just ended up looking like Legos. These days, I'm thinking that once I can spare the money, I'll...

    Best game music!

    PC Dune 2 (Westwood's original RTS) Command and Conquer Red Alert (Hell March, of course) Descent 2 (both the midi-style and the stuff on the CD) Warcraft 2 (put it on a tape to listen to when I mowed lawns as a kid) Ultima 7-9 Anything Star Wars (even the remixed stuff in Force...

    Line of sight -- how do you prefer it?

    Anyone remember Nox? Hack-n-slash RPG by Westwood? It was a top-down engine, and anything that your character didn't see, you didn't see... hmm.... okay, basically, it was fog of war (insert self-deprecating remark)... but it was the best implementation of fog of war I've ever seen. $0.02

    Whaddya think?

    I always thought IMHO meant "I'm a ho". :mrgreen: Anyway... With the teleportation testing: perhaps when you first get to the lab (or wherever the stuff is being developed), maybe a "whoops" scene? And a possible cause for the Vault's tunnels to collapse: It was just another one of...

    Star Wars Battlefront

    Just remembered another one... And coming in at #23565374 on the list, is Masters of Teras Kasi.

    FO1: Putting armor on Ian/Tycho

    I've been reading the forums here and at Gamefaqs for a while, and today I finally decided to point something out that may or may not have been said before (yes, I did the good thing, and ran a search first, but only on this board, and couldn't find this being brought up). When it comes to...

    Star Wars Battlefront

    I picked this game up Wednesday. It'll do until either some good mods come along or I can upgrade my compy to run UT2k4. One thing I learned from it is that minimum system requirements can sometimes be slightly lower than what's printed on the box, because my processor speed is 100MHz...

    Fallout: A Post-Nuclear Movie

    And to this I reply... Wing Commander. (Yes, I did read the entire post, it's just that this was the first thing to pop into my head.)

    Roots and influences

    Syndicate, and Syndicate Plus was the expansion... Syndicate Wars was the sequel, which I wish I had bought back when I could actually find it anywhere... trouble is, I only saw it in one store (ever), and I didn't have any money at the time.

    The joke thread

    One I thought of inspired by the "Interrupting Cow" knock-knock joke... "Moo." (wait 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the attention span of your friends...) "Knock knock." "Who's there?" "Time-travelling cow."

    10 best games.

    PC Fallout 1, 2, T Daggerfall (second time I saw nudity in a game (but that's not why it's on the list :liar: )) Deus Ex (loved how you can smoke a carton's worth of cigarettes with 10 clicks of a mouse and die) System Shock 2 (still trying to get my roomies to co-op with me) Tron 2.0...

    Favorite weapon(s)

    FO1: 14mm pistol, then .223 pistol once I did the quest, then Plasma Rifle once I tagged Energy. FO2: FN p90 and... well, that's it, really. FOT: FN p90 again... and all the rocks from the civilians in Macomb.

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    Got my first taste of Fallout from the demo on a PC Gamer CD... if I remember it correctly, there was a gang war in Junktown, one gang gave you leather armor if you joined them, the other gave you metal armor. Then, I joined the dreaded Columbia House Software club, and as my first 3 items, I...
