What exactly do you mean by "nuclear powered everything"? You wouldn't stuff a nuclear reactor into, say, a car. That's just crazy, impossible. You would just produce electricity in your nuclear plants, which is then used to power everything else.

How likely is it to become our main power source by 2050? Rather unlikely, as unfortunately there's still a lot of money going into less efficient kinds of energy. How beneficial would it be? Absolutely ideal! Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest large-scale energy source out there. People...

The physical damage of the bombs would be fairly minor compared to the consequences of political-economical collapse. Even if you launched every nuclear weapon, you couldn't destroy most of the planet, but destroying all the major cities of the world's most prominent countries would be...

Hell man, I gave Skyrim's storytelling a lot of shit at release, but even that is golden compared to Fallout 4 in terms of choice, character agency, plots, etc. How does the design philosophy of the creative department get so much worse if not through a deliberate choice to make everything less...

Power armor is everywhere in Fallout 4. For every type of power armor in the game, there are dozens of places you can acquire full or partial sets, including supposedly "rarer" armors like the X-01/APA. Plus random spawns. Compare that to Fallout 1, where you can only get it with the Brotherhood...

I think some of you are forgetting that Ulysses is, well, batshit insane due to extremely traumatic experiences. His plan is actually pretty solid, but trying to debate the details of his goals is moot. Of course it doesn't make 100% sense, in fact pointing out the problems in his actions and...

Aaaaaaaaaahh, this is the thread I've been waiting for. I love pro wrestling. I think it's one of the most enjoyable forms of entertainment out there. It combines incredible feats of athleticism, awesome storytelling and tension, and great action full of technical complexities. Wrestling allows...

If you are playing on a PC, this mod adds a suite to Gomorrah as a reward for hitting the High Roller price: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43311/?

When I was a kid I found it hard to be social, but facing reality and developing maturity quickly made me into a very social person - my career depends on it, and nowadays it's just a basic necessity for me to be interacting with people as much as possible. Eventually you'll realize 99% of the...

Yes, we will see societal collapse in the future, but the theories of it being a global scale catastrophe are overly fatalistic and also unrealistic. Societies have collapsed, on large proportions, dozens of times in history - the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian Genocide, the Soviet Union, the...

They used space suits because they assumed they'd need them wherever they were going or just because they were there, but it's likely those rockets weren't equipped to go to space even if they wanted to. Maybe before the war they could have been capable of some amount of space travel with the...

The loose description of what makes an RPG is actually fairly interesting to think about. At its most basic, by definition, it's "a game about roleplaying", which would mean in most cases it's something determined by how the developers want it to be perceived and not necessarily what it really...

The Swiss-Tech Utili-Key is one of the coolest little things I've bought on Ebay. It's the size of a house key, it's light, it's easy to use, and it has six nifty tools you'll soon find yourself using often. I never knew how many situations were made easier by having a knife or screwdriver at...

Arkham City and Portal 2 also received massive amounts of praise and that didn't stop Skyrim from winning the Game Of The Year award on Spike. The reality is that a lot of gaming awards (and movie awards, music awards, etc) are heavily based in marketability and not just raw quality. A game...

7.5/10 - you can't go wrong with an eyepatch. Much like capes, they are the one thing modern fashion is missing.

Sure. In late 2013 to early 2014, Google started adding a lot of updates to Chrome containing several dubious design choices or superfluous features, which didn't change much in average day-to-day use, but slowly made the browser more bloated. Around the middle of that year, updates started...

I've been using Edge since it came out and it's incredible. A year ago, I'd defend Chrome as the #1 best browser available, now after using Edge it's borderline unusable to me (especially with updates progressively making it slower and more bloated). Edge is not really feature-rich, but it's...

I'll repeat what I said on the "Will a new game set in West Coast/Mojave ever be made?" thread as I feel it's relevant: I don't really see Obsidian working on Fallout again but not because of bad blood with Bethesda-Zenimax (I don't believe there is any), or because the designers don't want to...

Children in New Vegas were implemented in an absolutely fine way. You'll only ever interact with children during the Boomers quests, potentially Veronica's quest, and as meaningless NPCs such as the Legion kids. There's a huge difference between a few short encounters with children with little...

Just gotta say I'm going through an awesome period in my life right now. A month ago I was pretty badly depressed and nothing was working out, but right now, I couldn't be happier and everything I'm doing goes well. I actually believe the latter situation is a direct result of the former - I was...
