Since a couple of months, Ghent has a "Shop for Geek" store. I went there recently to check it out and I was truly amazed by the amount of Fallout related items they sold. I know this is probably perfectly normal for young people today, but back in 1997/1998 the only Fallout related stuff you...

Nothing is more dreadful in life than the profound thought that death may only greet you with eternal nothingness. Kim Elizabeth

There seem to be a ton of (psychological, stylistic, literary) reasons why some people root for the bad guy rather than the hero of the story, and I'm sure they're all equally interesting, but that is not the point of this thread. No, in this thread I would like to know which bad guys/antiheroes...

I noticed that Funko has been making a lot of Fallout related toys lately: there are Fallout Funko Pops, Fallout Mystery Minis and Fallout Dorbz, all of them cute as fuck. And then there's a company called Threezero that will be selling these soon: If they had made stuff like that in the...

Discuss. :roll:

Simple question: I am looking for the name of a certain syndrome, a counterproductive one. It basically boils down to this: 'I know I can do that, so I don't do it.' I know there's a name for this thing, but it has slipped my mind and I can't find it via Google. Anyone else who knows...

So my laptop had this funny thing happening to it whenever I played an old game (e.g. Diablo, StarCraft, ...): it didn't run the game fullscreen. Instead, there was a small gamescreen surrounded by black borders. Which pissed me off, but Google didn't really come up with a useful solution to the...

Here goes: Is it right to assume that in a game like Fallout, there is a program controlling the world (the environment) and a different one controlling the character(s), each with their own logic, parameters, code, ...? If so, is this the case for all games (3D as well)? Do small...

You know how games usually let you evolve from rags to riches? Like you start out with nothing but a crowbar, but by the end of the game you have a whole arsenal of weaponry at your disposal? Including a portable nuke launcher? Or how you upgrade your shack to a luxury villa in The Sims? And so...

So one of my friends bought herself a Sony Vaio and then took wireless internet to go with it, but she is having problems with her DNS settings. In this screenshot you can see how it is set to "automatic", but that changes automatically into a row of numbers without her doing anyhting special...

I was at MediaMarkt today, which is like a big friggin' shop full of electronics and electrics, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon a collection of the first three Fallout games. Which I immediately bought because it was only €5. This isn't the first collection of the old games that I...

In good old NMA tradition, here's a bit of likely source material spotted out of the trailer. The cowboy appearing on the robot is Vegas Vic. <center></center> These are old ads. Courtesy Old & New Las Vegas.

A couple of days ago I discovered what undoubtedly is the best new site on the internet this year, namely this one. On this site you can find the best information about Choose Your Own Adventure books I've seen so far. A CYOA book is a book that lets the reader make decisions and lets him...

Okay, so this goes like this: for some extra studies that I am doing, I need to work with this program called OTIS - The Virtual Patient. The professor gave me a link as well: www.innoforce.com But for some stupid reason my pc doesn't want to open that page. I told some of the other...

I sometimes see some guys posting 3D work in here, so I reckon I'd just ask: for this little project of mine, I need to get my hands on a 3D grid of a torus (or is it toroid?). Anyway, something like this: but BIGGER and preferably with a bigger grid size, more like this: The...

Wu Yulu, a Chinese farmer with no real education, is obsessed with making robots. Walking robots in particular. Most of his ideas seem somewhat amateurish, but the electromagnetic robot you see at 0:40 is pretty fucking impressive to say the least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49MoNLYFk_k...

Don't know. Might be interesting to someone with an iPhone, I guess. Stumbled upon it whilst browsing. Here.

I was googling some stuff and found this rather interesting site dealing with isometric games. It also has a page covering Fallout, on which this little tidbit caught my attention: The page is located here. I didn't even know there was a Mac version. Any chance someone could find those...
