    I had to post this! - youtube thread

    Why do people keep saying "nucular" in stead of "nuclear". Bit of ruins it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-4WbjV1Jmo English lesson for Japanese speakers # 5

    What's your MBTI?

    Can we blow some life in this? I got a good laugh going through it again, and find myself wondering if NMA still attracts INTP/INTJ mostly. With the odd journalist. Starseeker: I agree upon the incorrectness of this test when the questions aren't answered "truthfully", or more correct, the...

    New TBS game: Team Assault

    Seems to be released today, as lead designer Laxen posts in the official forum. http://slitherine.com/games/TA_BoF - I don't see much going on yet, curious to see what happens later today. Not much fuss going on about it too, strange... Very strange. Looks promising from the vid though...

    10 best games.

    Pokemon... Times they are a changin' I remember buying a 3dfx, and later a second, to be able to play FF VII. Now it's near impossible to get it working on a graphics card that's ludicrously more powerful.

    All your History: Interplay

    Sad to see the masses getting bored by sequel after sequel now, when they wouldn't buy Interplay's original games when it mattered. Like lemmings down a cliff.

    Brian Fargo on "social" features

    Let's say, 3 engine coders, 2 graphics, 1 pathfinding/AI coder+ 2 QA testers work on it for a total of 8 weeks. Let's pay them gross 3500$ / month. That's 56K. A 30K isometric engine with 2 guys working on it 2 full months is 44K. Not that I know how much an engine costs, just doing some...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Almost finished Jagged Alliance - Back in Action. Then I got bored with it. Lacked the depth and tactical options turn based offered, but not extremely bad overall. Finished Mass Effect. I don't get all the fuss over it's ending, it offered 3 choices that were in line with the story. Some...

    Fallout 1 mod Fallout Fixt - next release will be some time in Jan 2020

    It's not the image that is missing, that's displayed just fine. Only the text labels besides the red buttons on the splash screen are gone. Mouse-over does not work. Anyway, got to the Hub now, so playing is OK. After all those FO2 replays, I didn't realize it's been since the 90s I've...

    Fallout 1 mod Fallout Fixt - next release will be some time in Jan 2020

    Thank you for all your effort in this mod Sduibek! I'm trying to run it on W7 x64. First off, after installing it (to a separate folder) and running the 64-bit OS bat, I couldn't launch the game (with your desktop-created \FIXT\falloutw.exe shorctut). An error popped up, telling me the .DAT...

    Planning to get a new laptop, need advice.

    1. What's the fastest speed available right now for Dual Core processesors? Don't go Dual Core, go Quad. Windows 7 manages the cores quite well, and more and more applications (especially games and video rendering) benefit from them. It's becoming hard to find dual cores anyway. 2...

    Planning to get a new laptop, need advice.

    Although the OP's question has been answered, for the sake of argument: I've been quite impressed with HP in the business segment, and using a home use model for about 3 years now. Quite good in build quality, and satisfied with the support level. The dv7-6130sb has an i5 Sandy Bridge, 6GB...

    New TBS game: Team Assault

    Just stumbled upon this game, seems to be close to public beta stage. Development is chatty in forum. Team Assault You can still sign up for beta testing here. Jagged Alliance 2 has been namedropped, although this game seems a bit faster paced, and set in a WW2 setting. However it goes...

    Just Wondering.... (Relates to Jagged Alliance 2)

    After straying quite a bit here, back ontopic. Was googling 'fall - last days of gaia' (now why didn't I ever try it), and found some of the old Fallout crew worked on it. Clicking on the 'official site' link on wiki led me to a "The Games Company... declared insolvable by German court ...

    Just Wondering.... (Relates to Jagged Alliance 2)

    I believe it all started with Marketing. Or, in the greater picture, money / capitalism. Ok, this will need some explaining - please bear with me a minute. Until about the 70's, people believed that quality and originality sells. Tools made up to that era still survive today. Quite literally...

    Just Wondering.... (Relates to Jagged Alliance 2)

    True Crni Vuk, they seem to be caught in an infinite loop. Even adding piracy as an excuse, where they claim to have to release to consoles as well to even reach break-even. All adding to development and QA cost, so they have to reach the largest possible target audience - the mainstream...

    4/10 - because Chuck wouldn't need power armor, bullets crumble upon contact and lasers reflect off his skin. Yay, 200th post, complete nonsense as intended.

    FO2 TC: Fallout of Nevada

    One of my close friends speaks and reads Russian. While I won't be able to motivate him to do the entire translation, I'd be glad to chunk him a part for a tryout, if interested.

    Just Wondering.... (Relates to Jagged Alliance 2)

    One of my random Google queries for new good games contains "fallout jagged". I guess that games that reference these 2 classic masterpieces could prove to be something good. NMA brought me the sad news of F3, now I read this sad news once more. If I ever win the lottery, I'm creating an...
