    Call of Duty II

    I just read the exclusive preview of Call of Duty II from PC Gamer and I'm pretty stoked about it. Both the original Call of Duty and its expansion United Offensive were definitely worth their money's worth; I'd have to say that they are my favorite games of both action and WW2 genre. But...

    The Afterglow: Chapter Three

    *This thing will never get done at my rate. Chapter Three "'Mornin' Sun'" Swish. Rattle. Swish. Rattle. Swish. Walter Zhentarsky woke up to that stirring tune. His crusted eyes cracked open from an uneasy slumber to the pleasantries of the real world. Light streamed past his...

    IC - Desert Conflict

    Esteban Santiago lay flat on his stomach in the hard pan of a sand dune. He was wrapped in a guillie suit made up of sticks and loose brush so as to break up the form of his profile amidst the horizon. Below him, lay the nearly endless expanse of Gaza. Back in the mid twentieth century until...

    Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

    On an impractical whim, I rented this game for my XBOX. Funnily enough, I have never, ever played any of the LOTR spin-off games (the Tolkien-fan in me just dying every time I see a pixelated Viggo Mortensen having at it with a pixelated orc) and I rarely play any console games outside of Halo...

    The Afterglow: Chapter Two

    It only took a year or so, but here it is. Shorter chapter because its about the dark man. Next chapter will be about Walt and his plight. Chapter Two “Destrado” The dark man fled into the welcome darkness. Adam Shapiro, that senile interloping prick, was dead and the young blood was...

    The Undertones

    I've never been a fan of the punk rock scene. I mean, come on, in essence punk rock is just a few chords played real fast with maybe a good drum beat and (seemingly) always with the rest of the band screaming backup for the lead singer. But I've been searching for some great rock and roll...

    Let It Be...Naked

    As some of you Beatlemaniacs know, the last Beatle album to be released in America, Let It Be (which strangely followed after Abbey Road, the real final Beatle album), will be rereleased minus the orchestrations of Phil Spector's wall of sound. Thus, it is aptly named "Let It Be Naked." I've...

    The reason why books shouldn't be based on games

    Case in point: Baldur's Gate by Philip Athans. Now, you've got to keep in mind that I write this with tongue in check. I'm personally a fan of Baldur's Gate, it's add-on Tales of the Sword Coast, it's sequel Shadows of Amn, and even the Icewind Dale series. All those games based on the...

    Your favorite ToEE NPC

    I've got two so far and they're all from Hommlet (mind you, I haven't gotten that far yet): Elmo: Despite being a drunk, I've generally had good experiences with this lovable lout. If you're low on muscle early on, recruit this fellow for the paltry sum of 200 gold coins. It says he takes...

    My first day with The Temple of Elemental Evil

    The phone rings. It's Friday one o'clock AM and I've got to get up tommorrow at eight for a behind-the-wheel lesson. I groggily tumble out of bed to pick the phone on my bedside. "Whosdis?" I mutter. "Steve, this is Tom," answers my cousin. Yawn. "Why you calling me at-" I check the red...

    Steamed about STEAM!

    My heart's a'breaking, folks. In theory, I should be ecstatic, exultant even! Version 1.6 of Counter-Strike has been released after many false announcements. That's right, my terrible secret: I play one of the most popular online shooters (so get the lynch strung up, hardcore RPG genre...

    Blade Runner fans! Deckard's blaster!

    For you diehard fans of Blade Runner (fans of Fallout will recall the ".223 pistol"): http://www.hartford.co.jp/2019/index.htm That's right, for the meager amount of 59,800 Yen, you can obtain an airsoft version of this badass looking gun. My mouth is a'dribble with drool. The detail is...

    My new passion: Airsofting

    About a week ago, I recently purchased an Auto Electric Gun made from a Japanese company called “Tokyo Mauri”. Before you start thinking I’m a gun nut (I’m really not) I should clarify that the A.E.G. shoots “relatively” harmless 6mm plastic BB’s. My A.E.G. is up to scale and almost faultlessly...

    Congrats NMA! You're famous!

    Just thought all the kind folks on the board should know that No Mutants Allowed is mentioned (once) in the July issue of "Computer Games" magazine. Lo and Behold, an article on page 98 makes some mention of the Fallout 2 editor, speculation of Fallout 3, Chris Avellone, yada yada yada...

    IC- Chapter Three: Lone Wanderers

    OOC- Sorry if this post is too soon for some of you but I've had a lot of time on my hands and I've made good use of it. IC- It’s funny how a natural disaster has the unlikely ability to unite people together. There once were these folks called the Amish and if someone in the community had...

    The Afterglow: Chapter One

    This story was started a summer ago, when I had just finished eighth grade. You can still tell its crudely written, even after I went over it with a fine toothed comb. The city of Glow, where this story takes place, is not the same Glow in Fallout. Enjoy. Chapter One “The Duel” When the...

    The Burning Man

    I recently submitted this poem to two magazine publications, one in Long Beach and the other in my school. My school, after much consideration, has decided to publish it but I have yet to hear from Long Beach. Anyway, I was inspired to write this poem by several sources: the story "Fahrenheit...

    Quick Tip

    I've been playing Fallout 1 again (my eleventh time, I think) and I've stubbled across a simple but useful tip early on. I have yet seen it in most of the guides so I'll post it here for anyone to update. In Vault 15, on the second level, there's a hunting rifle in the closest room to the...
