Ah, sadly the bugcheck error can mean a lot of things. If your lucky the event viewer often points to the exact driver that borked. From a quick look at the codes, it most likely was a memory access violation, that could mean a lot of things too. Chances are it could just have been a one...

Really hope your dad pulls through, been there myself.. it's a nightmare. Can't really offer any advice on how to deal with it, for me it felt like the whole first week was on rails, and I was along for the ride - whether I liked it or not. One thing to bear in mind, though it's clearly early...

Couldn't agree more, there's quite a few nice little gem's being mentioned, but they are all shrouded by a plethora of stupid stuff. I quite like the idea of schematics, sounds arcanumish - but it's not enough to make me warm to the idea of Fatman, VATS etc. Speaking of Fatman, since when...

Hmm the subway thing sounds weird, I get the feeling the engine can't probably handle rendering complex city ruins on the scale of an Oblivion world space.. so instead they are making smaller separate world spaces linked by the subways, with nothing in-between. In Oblivion they did similar by...

I can see all the fan boys now arguing the game has Iso :/ You could zoom out like that in Oblivion, but it was useless - the fact Todd didn't want to show it off indoors pretty much rules it out as a play mode. I've got to laugh at the journalist being 'blown away' by Todd demonstrating the...

I guess he must know, he seems to be suffering from all three. And some of the shittiest spin-off's imaginable, funny how he forgot to mention that titbit. In all the FO forums I frequent, I haven't seen one person say Ron Perlman shouldn't be doing it, ever. I have seen people moan about the...

May also want to look at the event viewer. Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer Then look at System and Application Events, and look for ones that occurred when the system crashed. If necessary cause a crash and see what gets listed topmost. 9/10 the problems get...

Problem with most survivalists is they expect to be in their bunker when the bombs drop. With current ICBM's it is probable there will be little or no warning for most people. ICBM's have a flight time of ~25 min's, less for submarines parked off your coast. I'm regularly more than 30 min's from...

Thanks for that Requiem, certainly sounds like they have improved the magazine somewhat. Giving Halo2 60% no doubt caused someone, somewhere to throw a chair... gutsy call, didn't the envelope contain enough green ? :) I will wait for the inevitable scan's, but will probably buy that...

My problem was more that the run up spoilt them somewhat (the last quarter of the game was horribly rushed). It also didn't help that the animation and scripting were so very buggy, when I did it the voices were out of synch and Le Croix appeared to be crawling through the air a foot off the...

Aliens is probably my favourite of the films, closely followed by Alien. I'm just a sucker for futuristic military hardware, and Cameron was bob on there. Alien is a work of art though, the attention to detail is superb. Alien3 wasn't a bad film per-se, the problem was that it effectively...

Quite a good selection. I hoped Bloodmoney was there, and was not disappointed. FO1's ending is definitely a classic, not many games have the guts to leave you on a low deliberately. My only wish in FO was that you could plant some C4 and cause a cave in, if they want to be isolationist - why...

Games: Giants Citizen Kabuto: Hard to place this in a genre, I would label it an action comedy, great humour, original gameplay. Another Interplay casualty ;/ Independence War 2 (IWAR2): Space sim, similar to the X series but not as complex. Best space flight model (in terms of realism and...

Ah cool, going to have to whinge at my local shoppe's lousy selection now, every colour but blue in the cabinets - guess I need to pay more attention to the adverts on TV!

It's hardly important, but I would have been vaguely impressed if they had blue liquid in the bottle. Suspect it was because they wanted it to be drinkable they didn't, are there any blue soft drinks? Only blue drinks I know are of the alcho-pop variety. The bottle you see in the bus in the...

Good idea, unlikely to happen though. I'd rather they just read (re-read?) the material and comprehended the original vision.. :)

Not to mention the fact neither the BOS or Enclave had such devices, you'd think the remains of the government/military would have the best weapons, period. I get the impression even Ricardo thinks it's stupid from his comments... surely if he thought it was good he would defend it, not...

A lot of dodgy ones, but have to agree with Dawn of War, Starcraft and Fallout. Would liked to have seen Giants Citizen Kabuto, and Z's cutscenes get a mention, both were fantastic. Quake2's intro is a classic too imo. Anyway here's some of my other favourites from youtube... I-WAR2 For...

Regarding Radiant AI: The reason it was never fixed is simple, it never existed (as advertised). Having played with the editor and setup some AI routines, it is blatantly obvious that there is no bottled up, or crippled 'killer AI' capable of decision making there. Sure as far as games go it is...

Personally, I felt F1 had the better story, more consistent theme, and superior talking heads. Also got to love the fact F1 didn't force a stereotypical boss fight on you at the end. F2 had a better refined UI and improved level layout. In F1 there seemed to be too many places with needless...
