    mittens bath water sulfur spring blanket comforter (variant of quilt / blanket) wool sunbeam Not sure any of that's in line with your product concept, but they all sound warm to me. ;) -Wraith

    Fallout's 10th anniversary: Vault 13 Timeline

    Yes, there are. Many of them are very ambiguous however, and there are several factors to consider. Foremost among them, the simple fact that like many of the "nitty-gritty details", it's a good bet that most (if not all) of the dev team really didn't know or care *how* the world got...

    Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

    If you want a bandaid to put on it in the meantime, Kyuu, editing the settings for encounter frequency is exceedingly easy. We can't possibly expect killap to custom make a mod for everyone, since every system will run things a little differently, and everyone's idea of "the right number of...

    Why isnt fallout sold in shops any more?

    I always did like that Garriott fellow. :) As for my take on the whole killing children thing... well, really it just comes down to feel real and immersive or not. If you want to portray a realistic setting, there's probably going to be some kids here and there. If you're not willing to...

    Fallout's 10th anniversary: Vault 13 Timeline

    Yes, yes he did. Interestingly enough however, in the same video (opening video for FO1), no missile of any kind is ever shown anywhere, but there are many bombers pictured. While I can't lock down a suitable image at the moment, it very much reminded me of the vast squadrons of seemingly...

    Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

    Heh, guilty as charged. :oops: I'm just glad you do appreciate it though, and apparently take it in the spirit it's intended. Every time I've looked back over your already massive list of fixes and corrections, I'm positively overwhelmed at the time and effort you've put forth trying to...

    Rebus

    In that case... [Sting] Ray + Dio. Radio. :) And yeah, I'll decline to post one this time. Don't have anything handy and would require some digging, but I couldn't resist wanting to reply with Dio in the equation. ;) -Wraith

    Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

    Some of those "Merchant party" encounters can be *very* picky about weapons. If you have any out, they'll attack if you come too close or whatnot. Also, if you save and load during an encounter with two "teams" that don't include you and your NPC friends, things can sometimes get a bit...

    Rebus

    If I know the answer, do I have to have one to post in return? -Wraith

    ITT EA makes a good move for the gaming industry

    No, it wouldn't. Cheaper to develop, yes, but if you seriously think EA would pass that savings on to you, you haven't been paying much attention to their business model for the last decade or so. Um, what? Seriously, especially that last line there. What the hell are you talking about...

    [Movie] Ghosts of Mars

    And here too, we agree. I mean, yeah, I watched it, and it did have a *few* enjoyable moments, though in the end I think I'd rate it just a bit shy of utterly craptastic (somewhere around a dismal 1/5). Even before it came to cable TV, I knew it was going to be tripe from everything I'd...

    Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

    While I can confirm this behavior, personally I saw this as intended by design rather than a bug. Basically Jo decides you aren't the kind of person he wants to place his trust in and ask for favors. It's certainly open to other interpretation though. -Wraith

    The Music doesn't work

    Erm, a little more info? Like, one assumes you mean FO2, but assumptions are generally bad, so being specific helps. What version / patches / mods have you got in there? Off the top, without any more to go on, the only things I could suggest would be to check the music slider in the...

    Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

    Yep, you're right. I reversed those. Must just be my brain kicking in the override that 1 = on, 0 = off from having worked with tons of boolean values over the years. Anwyays... sucks it didn't help. :( Now for killap: I was originally planning to do another multiple area post, but...

    Wtf? My uncle has gone crazy

    Heh. My opinion is that anyone who gladly hands their cat over to a barely-clad man with bloody hands who's clearly not making a whole lot of rational sense, and then seriously seeks advice on a forum dedicated to a video game set in a dark, gritty, violent alter-future probably *needs* a...

    What the heck are "Floaters!?"

    Actually, having recently re-read the FOB and other sources, I'd say it's a good 50/50 guess either way here. The following is what relevant bits I could find, direct from the FOB: 2075 March 21 PVP experiments continue at West Tek with batch 10-011, in the wake of successful tests...

    [Movie] Ghosts of Mars

    While I'd agree that The Thing was definitely one of his best, and arguably it's way up the list if we were to vote for his "Most recent, best work", I'd have still considered it a travesty had he "stopped there". If he had, we'd have missed out on Big Trouble in Little China, which is a...

    [Movie] Ghosts of Mars

    Yeah, fair enough, and I wasn't actually trying to imply you had bad math skills or anything. ;) All I really meant was my system is a bit different from yours, and in my eyes, a 3 is "so-so", neither really to the good nor the bad side. That would be (for me) what 2.5 or 3.5 would be for...

    A Tale of Two Cities

    First, just for point of reference, it's "choir", not "quire" ;) Now... I can't speak for everyone, so I won't even try. Personally though, I don't give a damn about the "typical game player" -no offense. The reason I say this is that there's already a plethora of games out there aimed...
