    New Fallout 3 Teaser Trailer

    - No shadows - Too cluttered - Too fast-paced - Too unimaginative - Too badly drawn - Too half-assed The skeleton looks scorched, but sits on a brand new couch. The cards look dull and boring compared to other '50s art (e.g. in Fallout). It's okay for a fan project, but it's too damn...

    Online distributor GOG announced

    Source? Because that would make me rage-kill them in an instant.

    Australian classification verdict: It's all junk!

    Not exactly permanent. They have mid-term ill effects which fade out in the long term. Addiction only makes you stuck in the mid-term down until the addiction is cured, IIRC.

    Another "Fair and Balanced" video

    He's charismatic. That's pretty unique for an American president these days.

    Thievery Enhancements

    Take a look at the Vault article on "Steal". Size is a major factor, but can be eliminated with the Pickpocket perk.

    Fallout censorship by Beth: no childkilling, no groinshots..

    If you don't have anything to add, don't, please. And no needless name-calling.

    Cali on same-sex marriage

    The entire concept of a hate crime is pretty American anyway. A hate crime is a normal crime, except the MOTIVE is different. So, yes, a black person can commit a racially motivated crime against his own race. Just as a homosexual can hate homosexuals (several Christian conservatives came out...

    Anti-Americanism- at all time high!

    Erm. The problem for Germany was that they DID push on like a steamroller thereby thinning out their supply line for the Ruskies to capture. Really now, I think if there was ONE major combatant who can be blamed for the German defeat it's Germany. America did Japan, but Germany did itself in...

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    Yes, FPS damage can be random. BUT it's random for different reasons. It does NOT make sense to miss at point-blank in an FPS (provided you aim at all). It CAN make sense in an RPG.

    Anti-Americanism- at all time high!

    Actually it doesn't matter what Ally put what equipment where. Germany killed itself with bad strategies throughout the entire Russian campaign. The victory was decided more by letting the enemies run dry than actually opposing them -- which is a much superior victory anyway.

    A Fallout 2 Saved Game File That Eludes Me

    I think he meant a modified save game that has the graves filled with more/different/better items. Like the savegames that litter items all over Arroyo for your looting pleasure.

    Thievery Enhancements

    I think the "size" modifier is based on the item's weight. Unless there's a secret stat on items that I don't know of.

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    Nononono... The randomisation in first person is added to represent the accuracy of the weapon and the opponent's dodging. Ever played Counter-Strike? A point-blank headshot is a point-blank headshot. Unless you're in the Matrix fighting Neo or your gun has been run over by a steamroller...

    Fallout 3: Prima Official Game Guide

    You honestly don't know why they still release those Prima game guides? It's rather simple: Game guides are there so grandmas have something they can buy their grandchildren that looks like a book but still concerns something they know the kid likes. If the kid likes painting, they can buy...

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    But without the random chance of missing your enemies at point blank range it wouldn't be an RPG, would it? Because everybody knows RPGs are about having stats you can use to make your character suck less.

    Fallout censorship by Beth: no childkilling, no groinshots..

    Learn the definition of self-censorship, please. The reason it's not censorship in this case isn't that it's not an external censor (self-censorship is internal) or that it's not censorship of something that already exists uncensored (Fallout 1+2 would be the uncensored version), it's that...

    Fallout censorship by Beth: no childkilling, no groinshots..

    Why the website talks about Fallout 3 so much? Because it's "Fallout 3" and they have the license to prove it. Doesn't matter how little it has to do with the actual Fallout games, they're re-inventing the series (in a bad way) and their game will determine the future course of the series...

    Military Service-

    Explains the Iraq War's initial happenings far better than the American "the Iraqis love us and want our chewing gum" theory.

    More China Spying

    So the Chinese are spying on the US? What's the news, exactly? That they're hackers? Go figure. Leave it to the US to develop desktop operating systems with gaping security holes (some, arguably, even created at government demand -- FBI backdoors, I'm looking at you here), tune it a bit so it...

    Anti-Americanism- at all time high!

    America HAS been loved by many nations for quite a while. Apart from that it HAS been admired for quite a while. But that was mostly after the War for American Independence (idealism) and during the Cold War (they protect us from those evil Soviets) / after WW2 (because the yankees played...
