Hi-Fucking-Larious. Only when it's HIS Ox getting gored does he give a shit. I firmly believe that you've gotta be able to laugh at yourself before you can laugh at anyone else. Fuck the scientologists.

It doesn't make terrible sense (in the "wild-west context) but it was a popular image in the cowboys-and-indians films that were popular in the 50s and the 50s influence heavily (but not totally) on the fallout universe. It was not until the past 6 or 7 years that akimbo gunfighting became...

In other words they espoused the virture of information-hoarding/sharing displayed by Farnham in "Farnham's Freehold". Yes you couldn't read the book, but it answered the Lazarus Plus' initial question. So Nyah. :P

Hierarchy records indicate that they were post-apoc librarians.

no more so than sniper. I would expect other game balancing prerequisites but since the ultimate game mechanics are undecided, well... Yes. Nothign wrong with it if treated appropriately. You fire a gun in each hand if the situation demands quantity of lead over accuaracy of shots. Real...

9.5/10 Near perfection. It fits perfectly in the boards without being ripped from the game, it suits you, and it's been with you so long it's classic.

I tend to agree with Rosh that having the use of a weapon build its utility breaks the paradigm for RPGs where you "Learn by not doing"; such as in D&D where if you want to learn to use a weapon better you select the feat that lets you use it; and in Fallout where you put skill points into its...

I loved it, but I'd imagine every other videophile who loves it has it on Ac3 Laserdisc like I do, and probably DVD (like I don't), and even maybe (S)VHS and doesn't want a 3rd/4th copy. I've never found LD quality lacking, though.

I like the idea but I have to say anyone who's ever played Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, etc, can be just a little wary of books. I liked the Books initially but by and large all they did was copy, in some cases word-for-word, from the Forgotten Realms Sourcebooks. And I've read most...

Jebus: Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jews was part of his ultimate goal of creating a master race. It certainly doesn't make it right or justifiable, but it makes it his goal. Innocents died. It's either war or a crime, but as far as I'm concerned it can't be both. Hitler was the only...

I don't know what's gotten in to him lately but I'm not happy with it. I have to say he's done some good but now I'll be happy to see him gone. He's gotten some really, really shitty ideas of late and I think they're ill-advised at best. I'm growing weary of his shit of late...

I suppose the Holocaust is an act of war if you consider the concept of total war. But nobody wants to consider that because total war is UGLY. Burn buildings, rape the women, kill the men and children, sow the land with salt, that sort of thing. It breaks the will of the enemy and...

Ah, this is just like how an abusive father raises an abusive kid. "Poisonous Pedagogy" is the 64-US$ word. I laugh. No crime to think or express your thoughts unless in doing so you somehow create the potential for immediate, serious harm (Yelling "Fire" in a crowded theatre, etc), which...

Don't Compare Betamax and Divx. Betamax could actually circumvent the primitive copyguards on the tapes of its era becaue of the way its automatic gain control worked. Superior engineering instead of crap like VHS. Nobody wanted Macrovision on their tapes and now you hardly ever see it on...

Seems the British Military forces still run on Rum, Sodomy, and the lash. (Just Kidding, no offense to any sane british soldiers) There is a video of Americans getting rocks thrown at them and they just curse a lot and ask for permission to engage, which they don't get.

Dude. Common wisdom here: Don't use other people's connections for your own nefarious purposes. Use your own. Simple as that.

Basically capitalism over a cerain point comes to a halt. The rich will leave or find a way around it, but all it means is that the government gets no money above the highest reasonable tax bracket. Better to have reasonable taxes across the board so that very rich people want to be in the...

Yeah I'm watching. Flying tomato is one ugly motherfucker. Shame about Michelle Kwan. Now she's cute. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. And she seems so nice, too.

Except maximum income doesn't work. When tax time comes around, everyone has donated it to charity or done something with it. The state doesn't see it. In the UK there is (was?) a 99% tax bracket, where everything above a certain level was taxed at 99%. The Rolling stones were going to do a...
