Technically, the title is "The Power of Nightmares" ("Baby its Cold Outside" is the title of the first part). Definitely an interesting watch, considering the caliber of many of the people interviewed.

1. Worked my first real job for 4 months. Made some money and some friends there. 2. Helped out in various reno projects around the house (the garage still needs to be painted...) 3. Moved into new room, bought some furniture. IKEA: fits. 4. Failed my first driving test; passed the second...

Thanks for all the helpful advice - I'll consider it all accordingly. Gun-aficionados seem to have the most balanced, informative and respectful online discussions. Due to potential financial setbacks and a lack of free time, I'll most likely delay any purchases until after the new year (and...

Excellent preview/QA session. What got my interest was the comment on SuparMutant origins, and how the unwashed masses have yet to ascertain Beth's back-story. I suggest a thread in the Fo3 ideas board where we pour out heaps of unfounded speculation on the subject. - A.S.S.R.

Yes. Eventually, the mighty Dawkins will emerge from the chaos with an army of highly evolved, atheistic sea otters and bring a new, rational order to the world... Yeah, I know, sorry. I just really liked those two episodes...

The latest KMFDM album.

Well, it would provide an alternate explanation to the mass migration of Cali mutants. And the differing appearance of this stock, with the ogre-like example from the VATS-targeting screenshot having a small, round head, tiny eyes and a grin fit for 1940s racial stereotypes (ignoring the...

Thanks again for all the advice. Sadly, a lot of those models aren't listed in the catalogues of the few better places around here (and I've been told that importing stuff ordered online can be a big hassle). H&K, Kimber, Sigarms and Springfield Armory seem to be the best options, simply in...

I will (cash and free time permitting) be getting a basic Canadian possession license within the following year, and am looking to purchase a solid pistol thereafter (for recreational shooting/defense of home and livestock/dramatic camwhore internet self-portraits). Something in .45 ACP, most...

Following the plot itself wasn't much of an issue. I just found this plot to be somewhat disjointed, sparsely presented and occasionally disappointing (as well as an overall feeling of being lost in translation). As brilliant as the ambiance was, the storytelling itself felt a bit...flat; stuck...

Funny, isn't it? We get flack for wanting a continuation of the storyline a la VB, with the original mechanics intact. As opposed to...a rehashing of motifs and plot elements, without the stylistic intricacies or much actual roleplaying. @Sorrow: Beth's depiction of war can't have...

Reads a bit too familiar for me Right down to using the "War, war never changes" line twice and the ominous description of sheltered vault life. Between the super-mutants vs. BoS, the water motif (drinking = health and the treatment plant we saw in the concept art) and leaving the vault...

I know the feeling. Lately though, these short novelss and online versions of Lovecraft's classics that have been keeping me sane at work. I am looking to buy a print copy, but haven't felt like actually going out to look for one or pay for online shipping. - A.S.S.R.

This seems about right. The Enclave seems to be the only organization active in the Fo2 universe with the resources and manpower to pull this off, and they've probably been maintaining some of the same models for some time. Mind you, the Enclave bases were extensively planned for long-term...

Read it, loved it. Much more interesting than the plot that the STALKER game didn't really bother telling. It is available in its entirety here. - A.S.S.R.

But in Clownterstrike, I used to be able to lay out people with dinky pistols in a single shot, from half-way across the map! Sometimes while hopping around.... Are you implying that *gasp* the modern FPS may be just slightly inaccurate in its depiction of combat mechanics? :o - A.S.S.R.

Which explains why I still replay Fo1/2 in various ways every couple of years. And somehow can't stay interested in Beth's latest games for more than two hours. I just love how this part reads like any ol' FPS preview. This will be very amusing. The first three or four times, anyways...

:clap: Drinking stagnant toilet water. Brilliant. I understand the game's protagonist (Vault Dweller 2.0?) may be a little green in terms of survival skills, but perhaps a lifetime of some basic education (in a community waiting for the "all-clear" to head out and reclaim the wastes)...

Same here (in the summer of '00). Still, this just further confirms the role of big "gaming media" as the promotional vanguard of the hype machine for some of the better established studios. From the copious amounts of money being thrown around to the dubious promotion techniques...
