I'll keep the total costs under my hat, but reveal that we have roughly 120-150 EUR to go to cover the costs for both me and SuA.

And now there's about 30 left. That was fast ;)

Yes I can. All we failed to do was mention we were reporting for NMA. Our press credentials were legit, our appointments were legit, made under our real names and for/by legitimate gaming sites. There is nothing in this whole thing that happened that was illegitimate or against the rules of GC or Bethesda. Hence "by the book."

Right, but look BN, let's stop dancing around the core issue. I know its 2007 and go postmodernism and everyone's decided they get to apply their own personal interpretation of what "is" is, but in reality, by your own admission, you purposefully excluded your NMA creds because you knew you wouldn't get in. I don't care, I'm not passing judgment, I'm just observing a behavior that, in aggregate, makes my job that much harder. Boohoo, I know, but true any way you shake it.

If Bethesda chooses to react heavily and childishly to this preview, which was not gained by illicit means and kind of forced by their own behaviour, why should NMA get the blame? Why, exactly, is Bethesda being allowed to shove around the media like that?

Forced by their own behavior? What, because Bethesda was up front about wanting to have a press only demo sans fansites, NMA's supposed to come off as heroic for sneaking in?

All the reviews(from mainstream bullshit review sites), all said the same fucking thing. How is NMA evil for trying to deliver what most fallout fans really want? I was tired of reading reviews that highlight features of the old and LIGHTLY going over what Bethesda changed. NMA was dead, and hit hard in a very good way. They have more of a right in there then most of those other press people. You are aware that NMA admins have had personal contact with original fallout developers? The original developers were very respectful of NMA and other fallout fan sites. If Bethesda was trying to make fallout 3, shouldn't they give NMA the same treatment. Different developers, SAME fan site. The fact they dont want to talk to NMA just proves they dont give a shit about making a "real" fallout 3. They just want a quick buck. What is wrong with NMA's preview. It explained the actual game play to me unlike those stupid review sites with cum guzzling out of their mouth from the deep throat they received from Bethesda. Excuse my boarder-line flame. I didn't even need to use spell check. Maybe my sentence composition sucks but I dunno.
 
I just found about the preview yesterday ( this saddens me to read info on Fallout 3 on NMA, so I try to limit my visits to avoid the rush for self mutilation :/ ), but nice job really.

It's very pleasant to actually read something that long with so much details from someone who actually knows about Fallout and not pretending like 90% of the posers who just relay info from Beth PR department.

But damn ! Even if there's still a long road before the game ships, it seems really already settled.
I won't go into details cause I'd like not to grow an ulcer.


Worst case scenario, we might have to wait, what 5, maybe 10 more years before a true sequel to FO1 and FO2 ... ( yeah, yeah, the REAL worst case scenario is that we won't get any, but let's keep the gems glittering )
So, does anybody here know an Elite fan ? (*)
Still having hopes for a good sequel of the game ? With still a good amount of mental sanity and personal hygiene ?

(*) as in "Elite, the computer video game"
