    Mad Max 4: Fury Road

    As I recall, Miller only directed the action sequences in Thunderdome because he lost interest in the movie after Byron Kennedy died. That other dude directed the rest of movie, which kind of explains a lot. I wouldn't hold Thunderdome against Miller.

    Weapon Recommendations Thread: Firearms

    The rail spike gun worked very well for me; I've landed more critical hits with it than any other weapon I've used. You can finish the game with a chinese assault rifle, though - you will never need energy weapons or big guns. I haven't tried the Rock-It launcher yet, but it sounds like fun.

    Impressions thread for positive impressions

    That's one of the things that I do like about FO3 - that there are things happening without your direct involvement. I liked that I figured out where the strange meat that the hunters sell you comes from, or when I saw an Outcast patrol get jumped by a yao guai. However, that only happens with...

    Uncle Leo

    I randomly came across him somewhere out in the middle of nowhere (as I was chasing down Paladin Hoss who had stolen a Fat Man from my Megaton home and was nuking every random critter in the wastes, but that's another story). As far as I know, nothing further comes out of the encounter...

    Raven Rock

    Exactly. Hell, I would have just been happy if the entire conversation was longer and a lot more complicated - just anything more believable than you basically saying, "Your logic = epic fail LOL" and Eden going, "Oh shit I got owned, get out while you can!"

    Recomended Mods for Fallout 3

    I'm mostly using some texture changes/NPC makeovers and a couple of new player houses. Aside from that, I'm currently using the "slower degradation" mod, which helps a lot. I like the idea of equipment degradation, but in vanilla FO3 it's ridiculously fast. It seems pretty ridiculous to me to...

    So, uh, did anyone like it?

    Re: Best game ever. This is just trolling. "If you don't like it, don't play it and don't complain." When the same argument gets used on you - if you don't like reading complaints, then don't read them and don't complain, and no amount of complaining on your part is going to change...

    Anime

    Fist of the North Star is the only one I've really liked, so far.

    Which hybrid game would you love to play?

    I think a combination of the Sims, an RPG, and a vehicle sim in an open-ended environment would be interesting. And throw in some porn just for the hell of it. I think Sims mixed with Fallout would be really interesting, since food would actually be a factor. Add a full RPG to that and...

    So, uh, did anyone like it?

    Re: Best game ever. It's hard to take praise for the game seriously when comments like that are added. I haven't even been on these forums that long, and even I've noticed a pattern with more than a few new members where the first post is a glowing review of Fallout 3 that praises...

    2d gameplay with 3d graphic game makes me wonder...

    I've never been a big fan of 2D side scrollers, but damn that looks fun.

    Sexist or not? The Naughty Witcher

    Getting paid less for the same job means less money for the same work. Working less means less money for less work, which no one is arguing against. Also, are you saying that anyone in this world is completely fine with being paid less money than another person who is doing the same job with...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm currently playing Ikariam (browser game) and Jagged Alliance 2; Wildfire. I have very fond memories of Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire, but it's been over a decade since I've played it so it might just be due to nostalgia. You've probably already played Wasteland and Fountain of...

    Fallout 3 makes list of most offensive video games

    I don't know, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Plenty of kids everywhere are exposed to of sex, violence and vulgarity in popular entertainment at an early age without any obvious negative effects. And I'm pretty sure that no one here is going to argue that violent games make kids flip out...

    Fallout 2 & 3 side by side comparison

    My point still stands - I'd still take FO3 character creation over the temple of trials. And I still think the FO3 character creation process is an improvement over both FO1 & 2. That doesn't mean that FO1 must have had a temple of trials in order for me to feel that way. Character...

    Sexist or not? The Naughty Witcher

    If you look at the post, you will see that it was a direct response to the claim that feminists don't have a case. The point is that sexism does exist, has been proven to exist, and therefore feminists most certainly do have a case. That particular point has as much to do with video games as...

    The Future

    As much as I love the Mad Max films, I don't think that being Mad Max would be a lot of fun.

    Fallout 2 & 3 side by side comparison

    I'd say that this is the only real improvement over the previous games. Not only the character creation process, but the degree of customization that is possible. Yeah, it gets old when you create a new character, but I would still take that over the temple of trials. This is somewhat...
