    Anarchy, philosophy, whatnot

    Edge: Nice to have extremists from both sides. It makes for a sick sense of balance. Welcome. Per: I have the entire Notebooks of Lazarus Long as a textfile on my main PC (I'm on a notebook now) and I can email it to you. It's only a few KB if you're still stuck in 56K hell. But I know...

    8/10 Loony Tunes and the Apocalypse just don't go together that well. I doubt they could mesh any better than that, though. Didn't you used to be somebody else?

    Fast travel via.... vertibirds?

    Zactly. You Hardly ever ate food or drank, yet you lived just fine. Some things are assumed to go on behind the scenes. As immersive as I want FO3 to be, I never ever want to have to take my person to the lavatory, nor do I want to have to change the oil in my car. Breakdowns could be a...

    Driving?

    I didn't find it a setting breaker. Not like New Reno or SFO were. I think at least part of the setting breaking of the car was how it seemed a little tacked on. If it had been better "immersed" I don't think it would have seemed that way to you at all.

    Fast travel via.... vertibirds?

    The vault Dweller's car never suffered from maintenance ills for the same reason he never got infections from all his gunshot wounds, etc. Having to do maintenance on your car like that isn't neccesarily fun.

    Driving?

    I don't think it should be too much more complex than in FO2. The car was handy but not a game-breaker. It would be cool to see the car drive around; i.e. when you click to leave town, your party gets in it, the lead player starts it and drives it out of town. There might even be an option to...

    Fast travel via.... vertibirds?

    I submit that there might be some caravans that use vehicles. Imagine the kind of profits one could turn with an old military multi-fuel "Deuce-and-a-half*" truck. Runs on anything that burns (Kerosene, Diesel oil, gasoline, aircraft or naval fuels, alcohol, etc, etc, etc) and can carry 5,000...

    Fast travel via.... vertibirds?

    Hmm. Caravans didn't use cars maybe because they couldn't afford enough cars to make it work, or there just weren't enough cars. Let's assume that the Fusion-cell powered cars of the Fallout universe are similar to our cars in that they are most efficient with their fuel when traveling about...

    NW European Heatwave '06

    Maybe having a building Air Conditioner is silly in Europe, but why not spend what I'd assume is about 100 Euros or less (an average price over here) for a small window air conditioner so you can at least sleep in comfort?

    Israel decides to go to Lebanon.

    I shall ignore Sunny Jim. Aegis, you can't say that I don't know what it's like. My country has been ravaged by terrorism as well; we cannot forget the thousands who perished in New York for no reason, those in the Pentagon, the soldiers on the USS Cole, the people in the first World Trade...

    Israel decides to go to Lebanon.

    Isn't it just? Israel has as much right to exist and conduct itself as it pleases as its neighbor states do. Many of them were created for bullshit reasons as well; this isn't unique to Israel although its enemies would have you think it is. In my eyes it has proven itself no worse than any...

    Fast travel via.... vertibirds?

    It is my personal interperitation that "mass production" means that there will be more than a flying prototype. San Fran might be able to whip up a couple of "line produciton" vertibirds like the Enclave did, but the Enclave had them and you didn't see too awful many of 'em even in Fallout 2...

    NW European Heatwave '06

    Don't you people have air conditioners in Europe? I set the mechanism for 64 degree Fahrenheit (17.77...degrees Centigrade) and I be downright cold even though it's over 100 outside.

    File type detection?

    If you're saying you're getting the WRONG file type you need to get something called "TweakUI" for your operating system (they differ) and use the repair fucntion to repair file types. TweakUI is a Microsoft extension that just enables hidden interfaces to control certain stuff. It's really a...

    Israel decides to go to Lebanon.

    Unfortunately we're not going to send in an Army to do an Army's job. Americans are at risk from Israel's rash actions now, they are being evacuated. Both sides need to back down. I'd have no problem if we or anyone else wanted to send soldiers to put a boot in the face of both sides and say...

    Israel decides to go to Lebanon.

    The entire concept of deploying an army to keep peace is bullshit. The millitary doesn't keep peace, they make it; by killing peopel and breaking shit. That is their job. If it doesn't fall under those two categories, you don't want to send your soldiers to another guy's country unless he is...

    Israel decides to go to Lebanon.

    I've never shared the view that Israel is anything more than another pissant, volatile middle-east nation waiting for a reason to hit someone with its hammer. They are no better, or worse, than any of their neighbors. But why attack Lebanon? Lebanon really seems to take a back burner in most...

    Rocky Balboa

    I fucking hate Rocky. Which is exceptionally odd as I love boxing (to watch, not to do; I could never box as several years of Kung-Fu have trained me to kick reflexively since it was always my stronger attack and I was never so good at it that, in sparring, I could afford to do anything BUT use...

    Customizable Character

    Exactly. Of course this is the sort of thing he'd do if he was weilding a weapon. Someone with little skill with it might fumble it. So if you had 20% small guns you'd twirl your pistol and it would go flying and the guy would run and pick it up, then look around like "I meant to do that"; or...
