    Vault boy's thumbs up. What's your take?

    I always took the closed eye as a simple wink, hence the other one being open so wide. I mean, what's Vault Boy's actual in-universe purpose for existence, if not to advertise for Vault-Tec? "Don't worry about that silly ol' bomb," he winks knowingly at you, "Vault-Tec's got you covered." It is...

    Decent Recording Software

    Do you know if it'll record the in-game cinematics, too? I remember that being one of the problems with a lot of the other programs.

    Decent Recording Software

    Wish I could help you out. Rest assured, you're not being ignored, it's just that it's a question that very few people seem to know a good answer to. The original Fallouts can be infuriatingly touchy as regards display/video issues.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Oh, yeah, no, the logic of the time machine's operational parameters itself is pretty faulty. Either that, or Skynet is a few logic cores short of a full processor matrix. I was speaking strictly in terms of temporal shenanigans. There's always a way to justify time paradoxes. At the very...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Those were my own thoughts, and thanks. I just put them in spoilertags on the off chance that there was a single person left on the internet who hadn't seen T3 yet and would actually care about having the ending blown. I try not to nitpick time-travel logic too much in fiction, as any...

    Brotherhood's response to the Super Mutant threat

    Truth, sir. If the Brotherhood was really that interested in doing what was best for all concerned, the only two logical courses of action would have been to finish their scavenger hunt and escort all willing participants westward to more habitable ground, or to head to Vault 87 (everyone in the...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Welp, looks like we've got some plot details. ABANDON SHIP (I'm actually still holding out hope. Then again, I'm still trying not to be too cynical about Fallout 4, too, so I won't blame you if you choose to react differently.)

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Don't worry, I'm sure they'll move on to 90s movies soon enough.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Quick, imagine the perfect cast for a new Terminator movie! Did you immediately think of Dany Targaryen, Matt "Fish Fingers & Custard" Smith, and that Australian guy from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes whose head looks kind of like a wedge of metamorphic rock? If so, you might be one of the...

    Fallout2 Perks - Week by week additions

    Opinions are always welcome here. I've always thought the Night Vision perk was a little undervalued, myself, though its usefulness is sharply mitigated by the fact that you usually have final say in when the fights take place thanks to the alarm clock on your Pipboy. Awareness probably...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    All the best parts of Terminator 3 came at the end. My God, that ending. If they'd been able to slap together a better hundred or so minutes to tack that onto, the movie could have been amazing.

    Kotaku ranks the Fallout games

    F2 was her introduction to the series, actually (and from the sound of her earlier article, possibly one of the first non-educational games she ever played). It was a huge formative experience for her, and you can see how the place it holds in her heart colors her opinion of the other games...

    Comic books

    Yeah, I've noticed you're pretty vocal about your lack of love for most of the newer Batman crop. What seems to be the problem(s) with them?

    An apocalyptic anniversary

    I don't recall, but if it was in the FO Bible, MCA's actually gone on record as saying that he didn't think the bible should be a determinant of canon. I think the guys at Microforte themselves admitted that it was completely out of step with the franchise, and Bethsoft said that it was only...

    Fallout 2 aimed shot bonus to crit chance

    A fine effort. I tip my hat to you. That said, I don't have any experience digging around in the game files, but it's possible one of our modders here might be able to save you a bit of research.

    Comic books

    I'll second most of what PlanHex has to say, though I've only read selectively from the list. Particular +1s go to Y: The Last Man, Sin City, Sandman, and Jhonen Vasquez's stuff, though none are without their faults. (Vasquez is the mind behind the Invader Zim cartoons, if you're familiar with...

    Kotaku ranks the Fallout games

    She grew up in a conservative religious South-American family, big on old-school latin-American gender roles and trying their best to get into lockstep with the "American Dream." Needless to say, this was probably pretty confusing considering she was one of those "something's been off ever since...

    Generic Birthday thread (they ALL go in here)

    Happy Birthday, TDG! I wanted to get you a Replicant, but trust me, we're gonna wanna wait until about 2020 when they're out of beta. As far as your game design aspirations, I firmly believe a mastery of a build kit is all that's standing between you and world domination.

    Rate the avatar above yours.

    6/10. Not bad, but like you said, perhaps not the pick of the litter. Striking and well-framed, though. Fun fact: Until you pointed it out just now, I never even noticed your av was animated. Ah feel smert.

    Arabic peoples and communities in the Fallout universe?

    As an addendum to my last post, I know it focuses mostly on Islam when the OP was focused mostly on Arabic communities in general, but there's a reason for that: namely, apart from religious or demireligious ones, there don't seem to be many (really, any) pre-war ideological or cultural...
