    Fallout 3 is the second-greatest PC game of all time

    The media is not your friend. They are certainly not free, nor impartial. It's a good lesson to learn. It is true, however, that the zombies do eat this stuff up. Maybe it's the hypnosis or maybe it triggers some primal human/brain chemistry thing for them. The one thing it definitely doesn't...

    AN takes down Vault Archives, might be back later

    Well, BN edited his post, so I had to edit mine to remove his statement. I have nothing to say other than - Way to go reptiles!

    Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition announced

    Add Warren Spector to that list. Unfortunately most of the really talented people are either licking someone else's boots or have been drummed out entirely. The people at Beth aren't talented at all. They use a 3rd party engine (gamebryo), the worlds are copy-and-paste and the models are...

    Game Informer Fallout: New Vegas preview scans

    Equating time passed with societal change as an absolute concept is fallacy. Today's world, the last 200 years, the world you've lived in your entire life, has seen a lot of change. And not for the reason most people imagine. This period of time is rather unique from a Universal standpoint...

    Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition announced

    I'm sure their logo will be somewhere, probably on the lower left corner of the back of the box in fine print. I don't understand the fuss about collector's editions. I'm trying to get rid of the extraneous junk in my life, but to each his own.

    Singular New Vegas screenshot

    Let's refresh our memories (the one on the left is vanilla): At least the New Vegas (Obsidian) super mutant doesn't look like he just took a shower in baby shit.

    MTV Multiplayer on the Vegas of New Vegas

    It's a close call. SF was indeed an awful mishmash of disparate pop culture. At least New Reno was fairly consistent in its theme. Yeah, on second thought SF may be worse.

    MTV Multiplayer on the Vegas of New Vegas

    Too bad for me that New Reno was my least favorite part of FO2, with SF a close second. I wouldn't call FO2 "gritty" at all. Confused would be a better word. FO1 was much "grittier" in my view, as it was a more believable world.

    Fallout: New Vegas interviews

    Someone should do reverse speech analysis on him. "Eat baby flesh I like. Hail Lucifer!"

    Fallout: New Vegas preview

    I have no doubt that Obsidian will add some much needed improvements in gameplay and notably superior story/character development than Beth. But if you look at it honestly, they're really in the unenviable position of being asked (and paid) to polish a turd.

    Fallout: New Vegas gun mod renders

    It's too bad that the nice gun models will be in the hands of shitty character models.

    J.E. Sawyer discusses Damage Treshhold

    I agree. That's why DR and DT are not entirely adequate. There should be a penetration or soft/hard value involved. 00 Buck and HP rounds should have very high damage values against soft targets, but low penetration, making them ineffective against hard targets. 00 Buck at close range into an...

    J.E. Sawyer discusses Damage Treshhold

    So? His point was that he still took significant damage from weak rounds and melee when in power armor. I was easily able to kill Enclave members with BRASS KNUCKLES. They designed it so that anyone can kill anything with any weapon, even bare hands. It's a joke. DR/DT is a great idea, but...

    Draconian would be a more accurate description.

    Fallout: New Vegas screenshots

    When you put out fucking screenshots like these, I assume you'd want to give the best representation of the quality of the *graphics* which will actually be present in the game. The overall presentation here, including the models and textures, is amateurish. If the engine is capable of...

    Fallout: New Vegas screenshots

    No shadows whatsoever? Not even a little static lighting or shadow circles under the characters? What year is this? Good use of dynamic lighting and shadows can turn an otherwise mediocre-looking game (models/artwork) into something fairly impressive. Take S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for example...

    Resurrection: Fallout 3 op-ed article

    25 hours after installing FO3, it was already uninstalled from my computer after having blown through it in 13 hours on hard. This idiot should stick to Peggle.

    Fallout: New Vegas magazine tread-mill continues

    You could destroy all the other Zeta motherships hovering around Earth. Or better yet destroy the moon, which is infested with Orion Dracos and greys.

    Developers' Choice RPG of the Decade

    The "can't loot" DX9.0c bug was apparently fixed by the 3rd official patch, and also fixed by the modpack. I was actually able to complete the game after initial release, unpatched. It seemed like I ended up missing a large portion of the game due to bugs, skipping to the end battle before it...

    Go bug J.E. Sawyer

    Of course, the truth is that all of this bottom-scraping media (TV, movies, games) is also contributing to the "stupification" of the audience. Throw in fluoride, MSG/aspartame/excitotoxins, and microwaves (cell phones) and you've got a recipe for a zombie horde.
