My first computer games were on a Macintosh: Mac Bugs (top-down shooter), Sargon 3 (chess) and Reversi. My first PC was a 486 33MHz with 4Mb of RAM and a 120Mb harddisk; I should have started with Pirates, but it didn't work so I took it back to the shop and got Prince of 'Frustration' Persia...

I agree that the first time I played through the game I occasionally felt frustrated at being channelled through the story, but if you accept that constraint there are many decision points throughout the game that give a sense of freedom. I found the voices in Hong Kong more amusing than...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! May 2004 be full of happiness and photos of hot ladies / men / transexuals / else !

- ''I got fired from my job as a bank guard.'' - ''That's awful. What happened?'' - ''Well a thief came in to rob a bank. I drew my gun. I told him that if he took one more step, I'd let him have it.'' - ''What did the thief do then?'' - ''He took one more step so I let him have it. I...

Neither, or Halle Berry if I really had to choose. For looks alone, I'd much prefer Aria Giovanni. :wink:

The story itself is linear, but you can approach the many levels in various fashions depending on your playing style. However, there are quite a few moments throughout the game where you have to take decisions that feel important (morally speaking) - one of the game's strong points -. I...

Sorry, el_Prez, my poor joke was based on an erroneous definition of Blitzkrieg which Sander corrected. I still think the cavalry charge is more of a flanking attack though - beautifully filmed though it may be -.

We'll miss you, Briosa, but we'll have time to reload! Good luck.

I saw it on Sunday, it was absolutely fabulous! I'm speechless (and crook, but that's another matter). The battle scenes were as impressive, if not more, than the ones in the previous movies; what's more, some of them took place in daylight - wow! 8) -. The music was nice, with the main...

I've listened to very little industrial, and I haven't got the foggiest idea what glam is, so I'd love to hear your music, Dove!

Moving to Australia, hopefully.

I always imagined the 'car' as a kind of WW2 military truck: sturdy, reliable and able to carry all of us across the rough wasteland. The Stryfe and Talon conversations are a nice read, but I don't feel like breaking the flow of them with Aaron's background; there's more to come about the...

What I liked about Fallout Tactics: - The new Deathclaws (though I don't them speaking), they remind me of the excellent Warhammer Skaven Rat-Ogres. - The graphics, including the impressive scenery (plane wrecks, towering factory chimneys, etc.). - The fact that they tried to do something...

Don't deny it, Dove: you look really sexy on that pic! :wink: Please tell me you don't have the Marylin Manson teeth though... I was raised to be very conservative too, but it seems a shame to miss out on such pleasurable moments as could be spent with a person of the opposite sex (or a...

After the news about Fallout 3, I felt the need to shoot something up, so I'm back in Vice City. I've also discovered Matrix Games' Steel Panthers: World at War. If you're a fan of turn-based strategy games, or if you've ever enjoyed one of the Steel Panthers games, check out their site: it's a...

Now that you've added some details about the surroundings and characters in your latest posts, I like the Gunrunners detour very much. It gives Aaron a day to heal, too. I understand, Welsh. I'm more used to GM-led roleplays, so I hope I'm not making too many mistakes here. I haven't posted a...

Aaron was a careful man, it went with the job, be it guarding or assassination, and currently he felt uneasy: information on Kilrick's outfit had leaked - not unexpected, but whatever was worth 50K to the Greens might be worth even more to someone else -. The last Gunrunners he'd seen were dead...

I think there is only one vehicle, though it must be pretty big to transport our ever-growing party. Rama Stryfe did the driving to the Gunrunners. On the other hand, the NPCs we are escorting to NY haven't had a single mention since the first posts. I thought you'd be playing them, Welsh...

Nice to meet you, Dude! I've often felt that I was not doing what I was supposed to, though I didn't know what the latter was; it might just be a part of growing up? (correct me if I'm wrong, oldies!) The French Foreign Legion is very tough. Each to his own, I guess. :roll:

Aaron awoke to the sound of voices outside the stopped vehicle. It took him a minute to fight the drowsiness and become fully alert of the surroundings: undoubtedly an after-effect of the stimpack's strong chemicals, but not good for an assassin. Kilrick & Stryfe were locked in heated...
