I had an itch to play Fallout 2 again, and realized GOG/Steam no longer have a Mac-version, because of Bethesda publishing decisions. So I tried to run it in Wine, which works out of the gate, but unplayably slow. I have never used Wine before, so a few hairpulling hours later, the following...

I hope that there is no power armor in new vegas. The power armor makes everything too easy and ruins the strength stat. It's true for fallout 1,2, and 3.

Yes it does hold up. We treat alcohol in a non-retarded way and should do the same with pot. Just see how much less crime there is related to alcohol in comparison to the popular illegal drugs. THIS should be the argument, but because of the debate climate people usually end up being apologetic...

Same here. Bought it when it was brand new from a store. There was a whole shelf with the big red boxes that the game came in. When I got home the game wouldn't install because I got a bad disc or something, so I had to replace it :(. I was only 11 at the time. I remember my dad going on the...

Involvement in/use of drugs and gambling should be a serious crime like in many parts of the world. I like it.

I just got Mass Effect. Maybe I'll like it.

You guys can tell a lot from one movie. I never liked Metroid Prime very much :?. It just felt tedious for some reason.

A lot of printed news are simply relayed from news agencies anyway. News agencies also seem to be treated as being infallible, but it's not hard to find examples where they are misusing/misinterpreting statistics. @Per: Ooh, I was wondering why every newspaper was suddenly concerned with how...

That you can't hit something in the head 32 times in FO1/FO2 is not true. I just played through FO1 as a HtH-character and end-game I was constantly criticaling heavily armored critters in the eyes with spiked knuckles for zero damage, or maybe 1-2 damage tops. Getting messages stating that I...

Have a few interesting locations with memorable characters instead of 100 pointless locations with barely any content. And less fucking hostile critters. It's as if you would have 50 random encounters every time you travelled between cities in FO1/FO2. High INT characters should have...

What is it that was badly done regarding the turbo plasma rifle?

Why aren't power armors attacked more often for how much they mess up the SPECIAL-system? I can understand +1, but +4 Strength is really ridiculous (and whatever you could get in FO3). The armors really make it easy to create a character that is good at just about everything. If you play a weak...

Right, the state does such a great job at telling us what is dangerous. Pot is bad, alcohol is great. Smoking is good, oh wait smoking is no longer popular, let's get moral and put 200 % lifestyle taxes on smokers. We have a huge information network, so why the hell do we need an incredibly...

The problem is the collectivistic kind of thinking that feminists apply. Feminism is a derivative of marxism and does not respect individuality. Even if it goes against the feminists' agenda, it should certainly be legal to use sexist marketing, for employers to employ whoever they want (and pay...

French lobby groups are trying their best to include this terrible law in the EU. They've tried to get it in like 3 times through the so called Medina report, and also in the telecom package. Since the EU is the opposite of transparency few know that this is happening. Laws that will change the...
