The best idea starting out is for you to write a short story based on the game world you're creating. Even if you're not going to let anybody read it, it's good to get your main ideas down on paper. But good luck, man. It sounds like a good idea (the setting sounds like it has similarities to...

Well, I wasn't saying the person was lying. It just seems like to me that the most likely result of a structurally weak CD being spun at high RPM would be a much cleaner break than an "explosion". That actually happened to me with my Baldur's Gate II Disc 2: I tried playing one day, heard the...

It usually happens between Klamath and the Den? Wow, you must spend a long time in Klamath (I think it's scripted to occur sometime in August of the year you start the game). I almost always encountered it travelling from the Den to Vault City.

This looks suspiciously like another PostCount++ thread. Oh well, hook me up. (Voluntary edit after noting the position of this post) 8.6; The Onion kicks ass.

A disc could "explode" theoretically if it accelerated so quickly the centrifugal force caused it to break apart. It takes quite a bit of force to break a CD (I've tried to break countless CD-Rs that I have ruined with my own incompetence), and I don't remember the formula for calculating...

I love the "international jewish-masonic conspiracy" logo at the top. Anyway, the one thing I didn't vote on was the presidency. The world's going to hell in a handbasket, and neither Bush nor Kerry would stop it if they were at the wheel. I guess the story is going to end with the US being...

A quick author search on "denille" found three posts by our strawberry shortcake, two of which are bitching about the way new posters are treated. How likely is it that this "person" has only posted three messages? (Clarification: I meant to say that this sounds suspiciously like someone...

Yeah, he mentions that there's no way he can go back on the exact same spacetime thread (or whatever the hell he calls them), which gives him a bail-out option if things don't happen on time or at all. Quite possibly the most hilarious picture on the website, though, is the one with the "bent"...

Undoubtedly. I can't wait until George Lucas decides to release the Star Wars Trilogy Super Deluxe Edition where all he refilms all scenes containing David Prowse with Hayden Christensen in his place.

Yeah, anything that comes on the budget label usually doesn't come with a manual. When I bought the FO1/FO2 jewel cases, they didn't even come with a quick start manual, and the installer didn't mention a manual anywhere. If I didn't know they had a manual on the disc, I would've never found it...

Around here the radio thing is deplorable. Clear Channel owns every single f-ing radio station, unless you're lucky enough to live close to a college. The worst thing is that they play the same hundred or so songs every day, and they're usually the most popular songs from the various artists...

That is an interesting point. Though it IS a rarity in games, there are quite a few times where you really are working for the bad guys. To add to your Fallout examples, you can stretch the fact that working for the Overseer in Fallout 1 is a bit of helping the dark (or just not so good) side. A...

It's almost 2005. I had better start saving up for that AK-47.

You know, there's a Sam Goody right near where I live that has five copies of the jewel case FO1/FO2 for $10 apiece. Well, HAD five copies.

I don't know about Marx, but Vladimir Lenin appeared in The Bad Astronomer's shower curtain. If that isn't evil, I don't know what is. And I think it's funny whenever people call other people Satanists...I mean, really, the number of people that SERIOUSLY worship the Christian Lucifer must be...

"Different" and "good" are two vastly unrelated things. Until some reviewer I trust (all of whom, I'm sad to say, post on this message board) says "Fallout 3 is the best game I've ever played!!!11one" I'm not going to be even optimistic about the game. Still, Bethesda has a reputation for...

Thanks for your help. It appears that most sites that offer downloads come with such restrictive licenses that you are barely even able to listen to the music you pay for. It's kind of discouraging for those that try and take the legal route; I'm really under the impression that whenever I pay...

Hey, thanks! How on earth did I totally skip over iTunes when I was researching? So far I like what I'm reading about it, but I'd still go with Linux-compatible if at all possible (if there were any ACC audio players for Linux, I would be sold).

Yeah, but all that does is eat away at bandwidth like you would not believe (well, all of the overhead you get from the HTML slows it down). I remember my good old days playing Rock ][: Crashed Plane; you could always tell whenever people were using the game via their browsers because...

...I mean, LEGAL music download sites. Here's the deal: Gift-giving holidays are coming up, and I have this friend that spends a lot of time listening to new music (different artists/genres/etc.) What I want to do is get my friend a no-commitment gift of 30 songs or so from one of the many...
