It's the age-old "Which is Ulysses' ship" question, yeah. It's easier for guns (always the receiver) but I wonder if my cherry 1979 Ford station wagon will still be "Gertrude" in 20 years when I've dropped in a 5.0, painted it camo, and covered it with Thundersticks. I guess you'd get that a...

I dunno, being female maybe. Most of my girl friends name everything. I am also probably more emotionally invested in the mechanical things I own than is healthy. Cars, guitars, guns, appliances--they're friends and I project personalities onto them. I have acquired firearms at Bass Pro...

Whoa, I didn't know I was having an encounter with greatness! I followed the link in your sig--how cool that you know how to do that! I don't know how to make a GIF, let alone a mod. (In fact, I don't even know how to install one, hubby takes care of that for me.). The FO2 Advanced Power...

Haha! Nope, but every large piece of ordnance I see, I try to sit on and get a picture. Haha, yeah, who doesn't love show and tell? Thanks, I try to be a good curator of the things I own. The top two photos are actually probably 6 years old; I still have the guns but got rid of the hair and...

This comment is pure weapons-grade fissionable awesomeness. Makes me proud to be an American. Sure thing! The finely netted texture of the smaller tubes is reminiscent of dishwasher feed line tubing, only black instead of clear. Thought I'd experiment with that. The large corrugated lower...

So glad you asked! I love to show off my "kids," but I'll stick to a few favorites. "Ivan," M1895 Nagant revolver (seven shots!) "Tweedledum" and "Tweedledee," Pietta reproduction 1851 Colt Navy revolvers An action shot of "Dimitri," M44 Mosin Nagant carbine "Atomic Annie," M65 280mm...

Every year that goes by I am more disappointed in myself for not telling my parents to go to hell and joining the military. (Sergeant Bowman, I am so sorry.). Now I'm old and broke down and tied down to a family. Met some Civil Air Patrol people at the town fair this summer--the last vestige...

Ahh, yes, I omitted crucial context! ZS has chapters worldwide and is headquartered in St. Louis, MO. I imagine the chapter structure may be derivative.

You're welcome! It was just a string of random occupations composed at 2:30 A.M. Zombie Squad. We work to educate the public on disaster preparedness using the Zombie Apocalypse as a context, which hopefully makes the subject a bit less boring. We also discuss NBC...

IMO, Low tech skills are where it's at. Learn to build a simple snare, set a trap and catch small game. Then how to tell if it's diseased or not (safe to eat) and how to dress and butcher the carcass. How to tan the skin without store-bought chemicals. How to weave and braid. What plants...

Guns are expensive. Ammo is expensive. Unless you live so far out in the country that you can build your own shooting range, range time is expensive. So owning guns and ammo and having the means to practice marksmanship is a luxury. That's gun control. I own several guns and a bit of ammo...

Ahh crap, you're right. It was a solid back piece in FO2, wasn't it? Not a very practical place to put a hole in your armor, is it? Well, there goes my plan for having an actual battery-operated fan built into my cosplay armor so I don't fog up the helmet. Or do you suppose perhaps the fan...

Holy pack Brahmin! Expired Stimpacks? Now that's realistic. Must try this mod if it's compatible with the mod I'm already running. Do you guys get full limb healing out of a Doctor's Bag? When I use one, it only restores just enough of the limb to make it technically not crippled, but far...

Classic Fallout 2 Advanced Power Armor 4ever! IMHO, the coolest looking armor in any of the games. I'm actually working on a cosplay of this armor because I, too, want to look like a giant scary mechanical insect. According to the Wiki, the FO2 Advanced Power Armor and Advanced Power Armor...

Interesting. I had thought it was canon that Eden and Autumn were at odds. That's what I get for not boning up on the subject--though y'all found out there's nothing to find out. Pity. At any rate, I believe the Enclave could have made a much better job of it than any of the other...

I saw this and it is hilarious. Now I notice myself blindly following a compass arrow when I play the later games.

LOL, epic!

No worries, Operation Wingnut.

So...you're saying that between the point of divergence of the Fallout universe and ours (1950s) to 2077 there were no silly fads? I just picked out a few examples, they don't have to be the same ones we had here. Giddyup Buttercup, perhaps? I'd hardly consider platform shoes to be a great...

Sorry, I never took debate and I apologize if I'm doing it wrong. The point I've been thinking of but not voicing for some reason is this: human beings are warlike. We also have a tendency to form groups, and these groups war upon each other. Fallout's post-apocalyptic America is in a...
