Or perhaps the artifice of some shadowy nether-mechanic that most be confronted in some arid clash of wills...?

But seeing as how few times one would see formalized (and easily recognizable) rhetorical phrases like "I concede that point, however" or "my rebuttal is" in either NMA or DAC, it is hard to distill the core of what fans are debating for someone who maybe is not 'plugged-in' to the community...

Would you go for an automatic unjam or a skill roll? I would say that for most small arms, unjamming should either be automatic or the chance of failure so miniscule as to be ignored. This could be a chance to balance the higher-damage weapons like plasma rifles, miniguns, etc. would have to...

The thing about most critters is, they aren't difficult for those who are most suited to fight them, Combat Boys. They are more a minor investment of time rather than effort or strategy or in-game wealth. In short, they are a small waste of time. They're good early on, but later in the game, it...

I think that what a lot of the developers are suggesting is not an abolishment of firearms, but eliminating the grotesque material surplus that saturates the personal economy 1/4 of the way through both games. You shouldn't be able to just ditch guns and ammo. You should be able to find and...

How many a folk you can kill doesn't make you a good player. It's not Quake, or Half-Life. And those statisitcs aren't that impressive. If you are using a Charisma-boy or especially if you are using a pacifist character (the most fun,) you need party members to kill and carry stuff and so on...

Kid Story had awesome animation, and Detective Story was pretty cool, but the others were somewhat weak. Reloaded's only cool part was when Morpheus hit yon car wid won katana, and den shot it.

Basically, Tone, he said that something that Jesus said on the crucifix occurred later on in history. Anyway, I had been running on caffeine for like 48 hours so I don't really remember much of it. My point wasn't whether or not the Bible was a good way to live, but that there was this claim...

Nyarlathotep...the crawling chaos...I am the last...I will tell the audient void. Remember how the Vault Dweller writes memoirs or somesuch. Well, you could have a narrative looking back at how he saved and was cast out of his vault. Also, the movie would have to lean really heavily on...

You guys are being overly melodramatic. If FO3 blows, it won't make it any less satisfying to play FO or FO2 for a true fan. The ability to not let the mistakes of the greedy publisher is really important when you are dealing with a special game like Fallout. And also, keep your hopes up...

I was watching some televangelist at like 6 AM on public access and that guy seemed really convinced that the bible proved itself somehow. Tone, perhaps you could elaborate, because he was really vague in his explanation. Also, go Green.

The only thing that I really saw that was very different between the novel Fight Club and the film was the ending, and opinions vary pretty wildly on that. For example, Chuck Palahniuk, the author, felt that the ending was changed for the better, but I like the book ending better. Also...

Weird Atoga I was in the exact same place, feeling fairly alienated. Meh, we've killed triple that number in retaliation, if that makes anybody feel better, and we provoked it with a war killing 30 times as many. As the great Kurt Vonnegut would say, "So it goes."

Almost all of Western theology is rooted in rationalism, which is basically the use of words/symbols/numbers to express reality. Since reality is more complex, overwhelming, horrific, beautiful, etc. than could possibly be explained through the use of symbols, any attempts to summarize it thusly...

Kharn I thought Darko was pretty well-directed, given that half of the really important stuff was hacked out before theatrical release. If you haven't already, I suggest you check out the website. The Day After Reservoir Dogs Pulp Fiction Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead (DVD a must...
