    How "retro" was Fallout intended to be?

    The music bit is the most annoying for me. I really miss the great ambient tracks from Fallouts 1&2. It was alright that you could switch between radio channels, but even then the songs tend to repeat.

    Rate the DLC's

    I haven't played any DLCs on FO3 :look: now there's a reason to boot that thing up one day.

    Why Fallout 3 is not as bad as most people on this forum think

    Hoot. Lujo summed it up quite nicely. Although this topic is getting rather old. NV improved on the original FO3 on several counts. If you look up tumblr where FO3 fans post their stuff then even there's just two things people mostly comment on: dumb stuff (NPCs included) and the uberviolence...

    Perception checks @ dialogue options in old series

    Valcik actually gave two examples of how PE influences dialogue: You can comment on Mynoc's spear and you can recognize the missing boy in Modoc. The stuff in spoiler tags is from Per's guide.

    Fav weapon...why?

    My favorite get-up is Combat Leather Jacket for armor, spiked knuckles in one hand and the .223 pistol in the other :monocle:

    What Internet browser do you use?

    I temporarily switched to Safari, because I have too many tabs open in Chrome... I need 'em open, too. I should probably switch those to Safari so I can browse my usual stuff with Chrome :look:

    Russian-Ukrainian war

    That's the problem with revolutions - if you don't have a Lenin-type figure with a plan, bigger fish will come and pick up the pieces. EDIT: tha latest update on Interfax was that Ukranian military is effectively defecting to Crimea (Russian side). It looks like what I proposed earlier: the...

    Russian-Ukrainian war

    In theory, sure - but Russia knows how to handle bad press. There are also organized pro-Putin political groups. Yanukovich failed at damage control and brought out the big guns – I'm sure in Russia they'd get people to fight amongst each other before it escalates to that.

    Wasteland 2 Update #45: And. Here. We. Go!

    I'm sure with 3D the characters/critters are not tied to the grid for general movement :seriouslyno: For tactical gameplay hexes sound better.

    The books of Tolkien

    I agree fully /w UW on both counts: the preconceived notions of the reader rather than the text and the reading as a kid bit :nod:

    Russian-Ukrainian war

    A fellow student at my university, a girl from Ukraine, said that the country is basically divided between the pro-West and pro-Russia groups. If that is true then Russia might not need that much to tip the scales in their favor. Another friend has family there - Jewish relatives - and the...

    Russian-Ukrainian war

    Does it really? I understand that if a poodle like North Korea gets one and starts wagging it people get nervous, but i find it hard to believe that any of the big boys would even consider deploying nukes if you're not at their capital's doorstep.

    Rank the DLC's

    I managed to vote on the wrong one on the polls :puppy-dog: But for me there's just the one: Dead Money. While I did tire of the ghosts the characters and the writing made up for it tenfold. The fact that you can't go back was a smart move, too. Man I loved that one. OWB was too pulpy scifi...

    I happened on a review that gave me a semblance of hope of enjoying the new Thief: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/02/24/thief-review/ It admits the shit parts, but tries to highlight the goodies. I was afraid of this part, actually. That they couldn't resist attempting to imitate...
