New Vegas expansions have been on sale for $5 on a few occasions and once $3 (I think during the summer sale). That's 50% and 70% off. On your second comment, whilst the costume DLCs are hilarious wastes of money, calling the Mass Effect 2 gun DLC "reskinned weapons" is BS. Incidentally...

As much as has been maligned about the poor state of video game journalism ad nauseam, these sorts of articles act as a constant reminder of how the complaints are absolutely valid. And CVG isn't some dinky little private blog. This is middle school (if that) level writing. The topic is...

Is that a bug or possibly intentional, since it was a hotel?

Well he said "their" angle, as in that of GayGamer, not that of gays in general.

That's great, though we can only wonder as to the extent of the actual modifications. Do we know of a canonical reason why the nightkin are black? (Are the transparent sprites from the original considered black?)

Wait, do we know this? The models in the trailer were re-textured, and for all I know they could have been "slightly remodeled" (like the mouth straps in some of the screenshots).

Nah, I think cronicler's right. It could've been people, but robotic maintenance would be possible under a wider range of circumstances. The debate as to whether the dam or even area was actually bombed (and according to you, OzzymO, the article says it wasn't) raises another interesting...

I wonder if it'd be in working condition after 200 years of no maintenance, even if it survived the bombing. Pointless, if fun, speculation either way.

Marcus' backstory took place around/after Fallout 1, but his only appearance was in Fallout 2.

Well, looking at those screens, I'd say things haven't progressed all that much. I never read American/British magazines. Lived most of my youth in a country whose language I could never quite get myself to properly learn.

I don't want to be overly defensive of Obsidian, but seeing as its just an expansion to FO3 (in the works for, what, 1 year?), and developed under the eye of Bethesda, isn't it basically supposed to be an expanded mod? Plus, its a bit hard and unfair - but that's up to you - to judge the new...

Exactly. It'll all depend on how Obsidian set it up. Out of context it looks simply ridiculous. It'll probably remain silly in-game, but perhaps not mind-numbingly retarded. HAROLD's plant "companion" was pretty out there too. I myself am just happy that we're actually getting an Obsidian...

I felt the same way, especially in their concepts. That said though, I myself in particular appreciate clean and simple design, the almost "logotypical" sort (that should be a word, right?), which he employs to great effect. Polish posters on the other hand often tend to be a bit scruffy and...

A few weeks back I fell in love with designer Olly Moss's re-imagining of posters for classic movies. Last week I find this guy's giving the same treatment to a select few video games, as well. Albeit styled in the classic Penguin book cover format. Today I find a link on Offworld to a...

Not really my sort of music (chiptune and electronic), but I find it uncontrollably mesmerizing. Omodaka (Far East Recording) yosawya san http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSSUuZoGeH0&eurl=http://www.fareastrecording.com/mt/ & kokiriko bushi

Re: Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way Rather irrelevant question follows. Did you only coincidentally link to two books recently featured on the Book Covers (reviews) website? I won't delve any deeper into possible overly obscure (nonexistent) allusions, though I have.

If I remember correctly, in one of the Fallout Bibles Chris Avellone wrote that the story about sentient AI provoking (initiating?) the war was not canonical (along with such advanced AI in general). It didn't fit, as I'd agree, the setting, and wasn't necessary to explain the outbreak of...

Which leads me to a question: How prevalant is Jet in Fallout 3? Is it little more than an optional "buff"? And is its miraculous continued survival explained? EDIT: Have you got any solid figures? I seem to remember hearing it was around a million copies, the two, over their entire...

My head keeps poking itself with the thought of what could have been had Troika not been dragged about and punched in the gut by its publishers as much. How would have Arcanum fared had there not been the infamous early review-copy leak (and subsequent actual delay of the game). If these guys...

I guess its relevant simply because more or less anyone can relate to it. We all gots some Mario love. Though I'd find a series like System Shock a bit more fitting. But then who's ever played System Shock?
