I find it strange that the Lend-Lease act is presented as some kind of charity, while the USSR was in fact paying for it the whole time. Not to mention the fact that American tanks were almost entirely useless on the eastern front because they couldn't measure up to the panzers at all. The...

I'm really surprised that Obsidian made it so that killing a feral ghoul, Fiend or Powder Ganger gives you good karma. Weren't there stories that they intended to ditch the karma system altogether, but Bethesda made them use it anyway? Come to think of it, I don't remember ever having bad karma...

Realism is sadly not a part of many RPG games. I don't understand this connection between RPG and fantasy. Even if 90 % of the fantasy genre wasn't just Tolkien rip-offs, a realistic environment always requires less suspension of disbelief and would have far less nonsense a la "a great evil has...

Of course, we could be optimistic and presume that continuing the game after the main quest ends would allow us to experience the consequences of our actions, with the world being radically different dependent on the choices we made throughout the main quest. Yeah, I don't believe it either...

Even long swords were not carried that way. They were carried like spears, unless I'm mistaken. Drawing it from the back would actually be impossible unless you have really, really long hands.

Maybe Mormonism was chosen because it doesn't matter so much to people who don't have contact with the Mormons themselves. If you had a tribe of Jews or Muslims in a Fallout game, you'd have politically correct pussies bitching about the game spreading islamophobia or antisemitism at the...

Things I'd like to see would be localized damage, more robust politics, more diverse terrain types, looting which involves killing peasants even if you have a lot of troops, looting cities, cities that change appearance dependent on their prosperity, settlements growing and falling, more diverse...

I wouldn't know much about what the average Mormon is like, seeing as I never met one, but here they're generally viewed as being far more pious (and more wacky) than the average Christian. Why would the existence of a vault in Utah be favoritism? And who's to say that there weren't such things...

There's also the Hubologists. Although I sometimes wonder whether or not the San Francisco part of Fallout 2 should be considered canon. I don't think that Mormon presence is favoritism, it's just that they were more likely to have survived due to greater social cohesion. From what I know...

If Uwe was an advanced troll, what would that make Tommy?

I can't help but have a soft spot for the guy. Telling everyone to go fuck themselves because he has enough money to play golf until he's dead is the very definition of class. Exactly what I would do in that situation. Maybe I should move to Germany.

The only thing I ever saw of Uwe's opus is a small portion of the Postal movie, and that was bad. But I think Uwe makes bad movies on purpose, it's how he makes a name for himself. That's presuming that everyone thinks Shawshank Redemption to be a good movie. I love it, but not everyone does...

There is no way of objectively determining what's a "good" movie, so there's no way of objectively determining what's a "good so bad it's good movie". Movies are entertainment. We could call it art, but art is nothing but glorified entertainment. Credit is due to any movie which entertains...

I didn't even know that he died. RIP

Yes, I saw the interview. The guy has a pretty interesting background. I don't think it's mentioned in the Red Letter Media interview, but he actually spent time in prison during the '90s for robbing a guy he used to work for as a security guard. The story about how Samurai Cop was made is...

God bless Amir Shervan. The fact that he didn't live long enough to see Samurai Cop become a cult classic is nothing short of a tragedy. The only person in recent history like him is Tommy Wiseau. And he's not really half as good, the tedious sex scenes were there in Samurai Cop, but in The...

The most depressing thing of all is when you go read the comments section of any youtube video about 3 vs. NV. The number of people who actually think that 3 had a better story is equal or greater than those who think NV was superior in that regard.

I hope the sequel turns out all right. But what I expect so far is some Kung Fury-esque homage rather than a true successor (and homages, sadly, almost universally suck). I think the best way to go about making it would have been to limit themselves to late 80s/early 90s technology, with a...
