I think these things are mutually exclusive. Trying to find the right person by only their username can be quite difficult if there are multiple users with the same username, so it might be a good idea to plan to meet in a game lobby and add each other from there or to give more specific...

This is partly where I got fucked up. http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/na/est.html "Important Only some locations are currently on EST, because most places there are currently on Daylight Saving Time. Locations that are on EST part of the year are currently on EDT...

I've made and hosted websites before, but so far I've only got about 6 people who said they'd be willing to try a multiplayer game together. The Steam group I made has a board you can post discussions, much like a forum thread. It also has a group chat feature that supports voice chat and...

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the balancing. I asked some Orderites in IRC if they'd be into this, and Farmerk has tossed his hat in. I also got one guy off my Steam friends list who seemed pretty excited (his exact words were: "I FUCKIN LOVE FALLOUT | sorry | had to get it out"). Kilus...

JPZ1987, I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I'd be more than happy to help you organize it. Being able to talk to each other through some kind of instant messaging service would be pretty handy with setup and such. I'm pretty well always on Steam, so if you guys have that, it'd be the...

I don't have any advice on how to find more people, but you can count me in. FT is one of my faves, though I've never played multiplayer.

Wow dude, no need to be a total d-bag about it. I read what Oppen wrote, and I disagree with the both of you on this matter. I realize the '50s aesthetic that the games have. Regardless of the external appearance of their technology, they still have some pretty amazing stuff. A large part of the...

I find it interesting you mention Warhammer, as the Fallout power armour is chiefly inspired by the 40k power armour. As far as jetpacks go, I think it's totally feasible. They exist today -- ones that use air turbines, while others still use water. Less common are ones that are much more...

I never said that it wasn't possible to create simpler firearms with improvised tooling, only that I believe accuracy would be an issue -- something the Sten isn't exactly renowned for. I still imagine having a modern military rifle would be a rather huge influencing factor in a firefight in the...

I agree with some of the posts in here, but man, some of you guys really love turning a discussion into a hostile religious/political/personal argument. We can still be civil and disagree; the two aren't mutually exclusive. Where is the love!?

My personal favourite is 'DRUNK CONVERSATION 1': Slot machine: "Ah'm still here, sugah." (The slot machine lowers its voice.) "You're one fine hunka man, you know that? Come on now, you wanna stick some chips in lil' old me?" Player: "I think I better leave before I stick something in you...

The compatibility issues we're talking about are with the screen-recording software. It's supposed to be accessible to those who haven't played the Fallout games. I started making this LP long before I started posting on NMA, back when there were actually no other Fallout 1 LPs on YouTube...

As a bit of an aside, would anyone care to collaborate with Fallout Let's Plays to make a sort of mash-up?

I think it's still worthwhile having some discussion if it actually could have been a working design. As we seem to all agree, though, it doesn't look like it'd actually work realistically, and the devs seem to have clearly chosen it based on aesthetics. I side with their choice on the matter --...

I'm glad you guys are able to come up with some good discussion and reasoning to fill some of the holes the writers overlooked. Who knows; maybe these ideas will find their way to the next generation of Fallout writers and we'll have helped make more believable canon. I think one thing that...

Hey, I'm bitwise. edit: I'm here because I love the series and want to participate in some forum tomfoolery. I started up a Fallout 1 Let's Play on YouTube that I'm trying to find more of an audience for; I figured, why not try NMA? If you'd like to help me out with suggestions, check out...

I had the exact same problem. The first couple videos I made were years ago and for some reason the setup I had at the time worked fine; now that I have a newer computer, it stopped. After a lot of trying out every darn patch and every darn workaround I could find online, I finally found that...

I've watched many good LPs on YouTube, and disagree that it's a 'last resort'. I also believe that you can make a good LP of a game with screenshots and writing or with video; much of it comes down to personal preference and the LPer's abilities. As I said, I'm actually asking for input on my...

The storyline in Tactics sure leaves a lot to be desired, but man, I really wish they re-made Fallout 1 and 2 to adopt some of the combat system. I don't mean the real-time stuff; I'm talking about the ability to have a somewhat customizable party, a system where you get better party...
