Isn't choice and consequence the whole point to playing a game? I know Rosh was using CRPGs as a reference point, but the truth is choice and consequence is what separates playing a video game from watching TV, or reading a book (except for a choose your own adventure book). Even if you used a...

Eh, I'm not going to be an ass. For the nifty avatar 1. Find a suitable picture (that is suitably small) 2. Log in. 3. Click "Profile" (on the top). 4. Enter the location for the picture in one of the boxes at the bottom, depending if you have your image hosted on your server or you want...

Never thought I'd see someone on the NMA forums obsessed over graphics. The graphics ARE improved over Halo 1, but it's kind of a double-edged sword, because the way they deal with this on the Xbox's limited power is by adding an invisible fog of war that causes anything that is not part of the...

Hmm. I GIS'ed "Potassium Iodide" and came up with this as the best picture I could find. Evidently they resemble asprin tablets more than Rad-X. Though, I suppose, if enough people asked for it, they COULD distribute them in red and yellow caplets.

Is that why all of my favorite Fallout songs are in Fallout 2 (and not Fallout 1)? There's Modoc's theme, the World Map (both with car and without the car), and Redding's theme.

Damn, it's times like these I wish I didn't live in Texas. Mad props to Welsh for posting, though.

Doesn't it take like 500 rems of exposure to pretty much do irreversible lethal damage? Either way, I can't see much of a use for one outside of a novelty, seeing as I have a radon detector). Look at this. Now Rad-X...that's something worth thumbing your joystick over.

Windows Media Player 10 is a good media player...if you want a media player that hogs system resources, doesn't let you set thread priority, doesn't support plugins, auto-updates, constantly tries to access the internet, loads slowly, loads unreliably, accesses CD-ROM (or equivalent) drives on...

So the Incredibles is halfway decent? I've been sort of leery of any comic-book movies ever since Hulk, but I'll give this one a go. Besides, the worst thing that could happen is that I'd be out $16 (American). But episode III? Naaaah...if you want your sci-fi fix for summer 2005, watch Serenity.

Before, the sight of a red Elite was enough to strike fear into my heart, but even they fall before the might of dual-wielded plasma rifles. The MC gets a serious power boost in this game: even without dual wielding, you're more of a super soldier and less of a gold Elite plaything this time...

Replace "of" with "if". Better? Maybe he said that because the South is mostly Republican. That's right, gorram Texas...if you don't vote Republican then your vote doesn't count.

Fuck. Now it looks like I double posted. This post merged with the previous one. Nothing to see here, move along.

So, anyone trying out any weird-ass tactics? It seems like everyone migrates toward two areas: the sniper, or the tank. I'm the only one in my Halo group that hops into the ghost and distracts half of the other team while the others sneak inside to capture the flag. The banshee seems like a good...

I don't know: I didn't particularly care much for the music in either Fallout. The intro music fit well with the games, but the rest of the music fell into the background and was nonremarkable in any way. It would be nice if there were more high-energy pieces instead of all of the quiet, howling...

I have never felt the need to quote an entire post before this point, but let me ask...do you fucking think when you talk? I mean, you support hatred of the Democrats, yet at the same time talk as though you want all the hatred to stop. I don't know how making a general ad hominem attack on...

Horse not dead: continue flogging. There's a wide gap between what is right and what is popular. Politicians are far too concerned with keeping their jobs than doing what's good for the country, and I hate to say it, but most of my fellow countrymen are idiots. They're far too shortsighted...

Well, we don't know which ending for Fallout 2 is canon, but assuming that they do the same thing as Fallout 1 (the best ending for every place), it's easy to see that there could be a sort of localized world war. I mean, I could understand that there would be a lot of tensions inside of NCR/VC...

It depends on your age. Usually, the older you are, the less accurate the results are. Also, unless you fall between a range of about 90-140, it's going to get more and more inaccurate as you leave that area. Mine was 186 when I was "officially" tested at the age of nine, but it probably would...

This is the first I've heard of Tough Crowd's demise. I liked it, but it's true, most of the episodes were love 'em-or-hate 'em. While I'm not quite as sad to see it gone as other shows, it was nice to have a couple of contrasting viewpoints (The Daily Show being a bit more liberal and Tough...

Try searching for "fallout pen and paper". Or something along those lines. You'll get the rules to Fallout's SPECIAL system. Just wanted to offer up a helpful comment before this gets shit-canned.
