Hello, I'm Brian,
a young man from the Netherlands.
Fallout 2 happens to be my favorite RPG. (I'm probably not the only one around here)
When I was younger, I heard about some game called Fallout a classmate of mine was talking about. He liked it a lot, but I never bothered to actually try the game myself, because I thought he had bad taste. Later when I read a very positive Fallout 2 review in a PC mag I used to buy monthly, I really wanted to try it. So I got the retail release of FO2 several days later. The game blew me away. Everything from the post-nuclear setting, the dialogues, characters, mini-quests, overall atmosphere, the combat and all it's goryness etc. made me fall in love with this game.
I felt foolish to not have tried the first game this old friend had recommended me. Untill this very day I still haven't played the original Fallout, but I'll probably buy the Fallout Ultimate Collection one of these days (although I already own FO2 en FOT), since I just need to know by my own experience what the original is like. (however I'm not sure if my system will be able to run it, I've had problems with other old PC games)
I got the idea of playing Fallout 2 once again upon waking up some days ago. When I thought about it, I realised it had already been quite some years since I had last played my favorite RPG. I started doing some searches on Google for any Fallout 'news', this is how I stumbled upon this forum.
Some info on me,
21, Rotterdam, NL
I have a great interest in foreign cultures, especially the food part, I love to cook and eat authentic foreign dishes
-martial arts, I practice iaido, jodo & xia quan (hop gar) kung fu
-spirituality, I practice falun dafa (has it's roots in Buddhism)
-games, there are many games I like, but I have a preference towards games that have an original, creative and dark setting and games with hardcore gameplay (mostly arcade games)
-music, I like many kinds of music, although I have a preference towards (old) soul, funk, ska, reggae, jazz & Jimi Hendrix. When it comes to modern styles I listen to (underground) hip-hop a lot and experimental and electronic stuff. As a hobby I like to create something that sounds a bit like music on my PC, but I mostly end up experimenting with effects and synthesizers.
I like to think about life and the world often, these thoughts can go very deep, I consider myself a philosopher at times. I'm not that much of a party animal, I prefere to smoke a joint and chill out with friends, I do like to visit live performances and music festivals.
Well that's me in a nutshell.
