Someone mentioned about a thief... A good thief would probably have a way of standing just so... looking innocent yet all the time ready to put the snap on something bright and shiny... or introduce something bright and shiny to the space between the ribs of someone else. A capable fighter...

Very interesting topic indeed. Arms treaties are useless. There will always be someone willing to break them for his own benefit. Any responsible nation should have nukes if they can support them (The previous poster had good definitions of this, actually). They are a great equalizer...

I gotta agree with Per. BG and BG II are good games. Not as good as Fallout/FO2, but you can't put a Cadillac next to an Aston Martin and say the Cadillac's a BAD car just because the Aston Martin is so much better. Neverwinter Nights wasn't even a Cadillac among games, but it was at least a...

This was quite some time ago:

Damn! Now I'm wondering about the practicallity of powering a car with a Radioisotopic Generator... They would have to be the Pu-238 powered ones, not the crappy ones the Soviets made powered by Strontium-90 because of their low output-mass ratio.

Call me old fashioned but I still see the clips from the end of "Dr. Strangelove, or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". Usually set to "Maybe" from Fallout 1, because I can't remember the song used in the film.

Ah. Very handy for when the other guy seems to be using a 2400 Baud acoustic coupler to do the dirty work with... I've had 600+MB files crap out a 500 or so MB... after 3 hours of Downloading. Can make someone want to scream.

Heh... wonder if I can use my Panasonic CD-ROM/CD Player to load Fallout onto my IBM 730TE tablet PC... 640x480, 256 shades of gray! Don't think it has the HDD space though... in fact I'm sure it doesn't, it has something like 260 MB HDD space, and plenty of that is WIN95 with Pen Services...

Why the bloody hell does everyone love Sulik? I find him a nuisance since with two exceptions he can only use SMGs and tends to prefer a pointy stick to a high-velocity caseless round... And he charges at people which tends to make him go "splat". My choices: 1: Cassidy: This man is pure...

Mrs. Bishop is great... I mean we're going off of in-game descriptions here, but yeah, I've got to agree with el_Prez.

Has anyone notice that the Rollermines in Half-Life 2 looks just like Katamari... I laughed my ass off the first time I saw a Katamari... Anyway I only have one "Modern" console and it's a PS2 with the lid melted away (some goon left a candle on it) so I have to fiddle with it to get it to...

I've never really known what a download accellorator is for... are they used on modem connections? I've always had a 1/2 T1 equivilent cable connection...

I like the basic idea. I once deliberately picked "Bruiser" just so I could play as the big casino-bouncer guy... turns out I couldn't. Damn. I'd like also to see some options to wear certain items of clothes that give you a charisma boost when dealing with ceratin groups; or a penalty with...

It doesn't work. Nyah.

I will occasionally indulge in the current issue of "X-men".. provided I can figure out which one carries on the story line. I'll buy it for a couple months, try to figure out if one can subscribe, and then forget about it. But my true love is The Dirty Pair, by Adam Warren (& formerly Toren...

If it weren't for the fact that you often end up with 37 of a given weapon after a large battle, it would be cool to have the ability to track what you have killed with your particular weapon. That said there SHOULD be some more kill-stat recording in the Characther sheet, but kept seperate...

The funny thing is that in most of the games that are like this there ARE a great number of instakill critters/traps/situations and other such dead ends. You're not supposed to be able to save your game in Ancient Domains Of Mystery (ADOM) but I do it anyway... I'd imagine most people do. I...

Anyone seen the original? It's even better.

Ah what a list that calls up. I'd call Carter the bigger failure than Bush, but Bush is more recent so I guess he garners first :) For some more fun at the expense of the deserving, submit "waffles" as a query.
