    ZeniMax forms Online division

    Huh... an MMO division, that's about as high a risk venture as I can think of right now, if it's not the cool new kid on the block when it hits... ouch.... And then the problem of what brand will they develop, I'd guess TES, but I just don't see how they could get the player base away from...

    Timeslip Fallout 1 and 2 engine tweaks

    Super cool to see TimeSlip hacking away at this, his work is top-notch. Let's hope he brings a few more into the Fallout fold as his tweaks make the game playable for some of the fence-sitters that dread trying to play a game from 10 years ago. A resounding hazzah for TimeSlip and Killap :-)

    Gamespot user soapbox

    I smell the Beth marketing machine and sold-out gaming media trying to spin those with objections to Fallout 3 into a myopic straw man -- as Pete Hines likes to put it , "If you are of the opinion that any Fallout RPG has to be exactly like the games that came out in 1997 and 1998 down to every...

    Pete Hines interview on SPOnG

    First, forgive me if this is covered ground; however, I noticed that Todd and Pete continue to say the exact same thing with regards to Fallout Fans and the game Beth is making... In this particular interview it's in the form of: I believe this is the "biased sample" fallacy. (although...

    Fallout PnP canceled, new license announced

    Correct, sorry for the confusion, I was miffled by the news.

    Fallout PnP canceled, new license announced

    Beth are pricks for stonewalling these people. These people are bigger pricks for stonewalling a not-for-profit effort. But, two wrongs don't make a right. Amazing the power of greed. :( Edit: fixed typo

    As a furry fan I'll give it 9/10 paws. (I just can't go 10/10 with that hair, it looks too much like a Shatner toupee :crazy: )

    GFW on Fallout fans

    Agreed Fixed and agreed AS I can only speak for myself let me explain as best I can the view of this Fallout fan. When they went FPP/RTwP they didn't lose me totally, but a little bit. When they added the Rachet and Clank style weapons and shat all over the concept of nukes in...

    GFW on Fallout fans

    Wow, I think you missed your calling, I'll bet this would sell like hot-cakes. On the flip side, don't give them any ideas, please :roll: And on-topic, I love the irony... Too little info to be critical, but plenty to declare this the greatest game ever created, because, well...

    Fallout 3 at E3 - GWN

    The fact that violence in the original Fallout could be totally disabled is lost on Beth. Quote the Todd “There’s one of his eyes. There are pieces of brain. More brain. And there’s the other eye.”

    Fallout 3 at E3 - TwitchGuru

    True they are not the leads; however, I believe they take their cues from the leads or at the least these content monkeys often state what they believe to be what the leads (Todd and Pete and Emil in particular) want to hear. I seem to recall Emil (I could be mistaken) singing sycophantic...

    From the Meet the Devs 19 thread I just ran into a couple of interesting posts in the Meet the Devs thred First from fizzbang: This was KamikazeKangaroo's reply: And from socrates200X My two cents... fizzbang cites a focus on "Narrative" while the monster artist notes that...

    Fallout 3 at E3 - TwitchGuru

    Well.. black humor according to beth seems to always invlove nukes, death and profanity. There is the Mr. handy that insults you in the vault (silly) We have the ticket-bot that kills people without tickets (stupid) and of course, the Nuke-A-Pult (Moronic) Another carbon-copy "next-gen"...

    Fallout 3 at E3 - RPGamer Q&A

    Wow, these comments simply show an astonishing lack of creativity and depth in the Beth design process. Simply put, if you can't figure out a way to advance the story because an NPC dies then perhaps a job in the fast food or house-keeping industry is better suited to your skills...

    Fallout 3 press release

    Wired blurb on Fallout 3 Another blurb, this one was in the Wired Blog E3 post: I don't agree with this as most of what I loved about fallout is already stripped and most of what I wasn't found of in Oblivion (minigames) is already in, but that's just me I s'pose. ref...

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    Hello I'm Ivpiter... I'm in most respects a stereotypical geek and when it comes to RPG's I'm a total nerd. I've played Shadowrun, G.U.R.P.S., D&D, Call of cthulhu , and even a home-brewed RPG system based on GURPS. On computers from Ultima to Might and Magic to SSI Gold-Box to Oblivion I...

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    Simple enough, heading back to College one year I stopped by a computer store and ran into Fallout for $30 - snapped up the last copy they had (it was a return). Frist quality RPG I'd played since wizardy 7. (Hazzah for multiple endings). Also the only game I've ever played that I found so...

    Fallout 3 on Play Feed Just saw a new impression up and this caught my eye: Seems they are REALLY pushing the explitives for flavor/humor .. I can see Todd playing now going... F--, we need more F----'ing F---'s in this F---ing game, where's my God Damn F---'ing Nuke-a-pult motherf----er...
