Does plasma weaponry require nuclear fusion? Isn’t it just a matter of heating gas until it changes its state of matter to plasma?

I would think that, rather than Richardson being dishonest, he was simply telling history from the Enclave point of view. If America started the war there would be little reason to record that fact. Better to teach the children that it was the evil reds that did it. And yeah, I know that Tim...

Hey @Gizmojunk, is this gif from something or did you make this? I always thought this idea for turn-based vehicle combat was genius.

Maybe I just don’t understand enough about viruses, but I mean that the FEV, once it infects a cell, ceases to exist as FEV, just as the cell’s original DNA ceases to exist because it’s been modified so heavily by the FEV. Does that make sense? I don’t know.

I’m not sure if it works quite like this. The FEV isn’t just an ordinary virus, it has kind of a symbiotic relationship with the cells it infects. The DNA of the cells affect how the FEV mutates them, and when the cells reproduce, the result would be a mash up of FEV and DNA. I don’t think you...

I don’t understand a word of this

Well all the praetorians around him heard him tell me his backstory so I guess they could tell Lanius.

I think Caesar tells you if you ask about the history of the legion

As much as I’ve always loved Black Sabbath’s cover, I’m starting to think the original was just as good

I never really took a close look at that library card, but is the implication really that they’ve been using the same piece of paper to keep track of checked out books for almost a century? And apparently there’s never been more than two books checked out from the library every year? For fuck’s...

Midichlorians are a hat on a hat at best.

Mussolini isn’t a particularly obscure figure

Bethesda’s decision to focus on FPS gameplay and dumb down the RPG elements is what “saved” the franchise. I don’t think putting more emphasis on 1950s elements (to the point of parody, in my opinion) had anything to do with the franchise’s financial success under their stewardship.

That poster does look cool though On a related note, I’m interested in seeing how the Deathclaw ends up being. The glimpse of it we see in the trailer looks like it has the head of a bull, which is kind of an interesting take. Not lore accurate, but better than the weird skeletal faces from the...

Pretty good except for that bit about miscegenation and that rant at the end about our “subhuman overlords” (I wonder who he could mean by that?)
