WTF is with Gaelic? Isn't this like almost dead language? I saw short movie about it on Discovery. "Gaelic" isn't a language, it's a family of languages. There's Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx Gaelic, which are respectively spoken in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. They'r...

Was it right to bomb two cities filled with civilians? I don't think so--however, would anything else have given the Japanese an incentive to stop the war? One had already been bombed when they refused to capitulate, so the second was. If US troops had to invade Japan, and fight a 4 million strong J...

It's Irish Gaelic, not Welsh. "Cogadh. Ní athraíonn cogadh am ar bith--War. War does not change at all". You're close though. I'm thinking of translating just the opening sequence, maybe... and use Windows Movie Maker to make a nice presentation. I tried F12 and you were righ...

If I'm not mistaken, this was a reversed photograph of a nuclear reactor console and its operators. Unfortunately I can't remember how it was called, or where I saw it originally. This? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/DayOfTheMalkalope/fallout2-1-75percentasgaeilge.jpg @ Franz Schubert-my ke...

Wait, no, it seems I'm in error. In the movie making department... The main problem with FRAPS is that in order to begin recording you must press a key; this will, of course, terminate the cutscene. In Fallout 1, the cutscene that begins with "Brian Fargo Presents" apparently shares traits...

Hrm. Well it got me one of hte desktop images I'd wanted--thanks :D But I was really looking to make a .gif out of the Fallout 1 opening "Our Boys Keep the Peace in newly-annexed Canada", and it doesn't seem to work for that. Also, the video recording only goes up to 10 seconds, not the pr...

-I wouldn't buy Halo 2 Why not? As for myself... -I wouldn't have lent my Grim Fandango and Curse of Monkey Island CDs to my brother -I wouldn' have lent Settlers 2 to my brother's friend -I would've gotten into adventure games sooner -I would've finished Secret of Mana -I wouldn't have bought Red ...

Heya I'm trying to get a screenshot of the opening image of the Fallout 2 monologue; the three people seated around an ancient-style computer console. Yet whenever I try to PrtScn it, I get this ugly awful mess of an image. I'd like to use it as a desktop background, see. Does anyone know where one ...

I'm afraid I don't know the problem, but I find it rather unlikely you'll get the same message with the real game. I've often found demo versions buggier and more unstable than the final versions. True, very true. Anyway, I suggest you first patch up both Fallouts if they already aren't patched. Ag...

Site overloaded. Hello, too-many-people from Metafilter, and anywhere else that's linked to Urban Dead as a result, and sorry, existing players.

Check back a bit later, and the load might have lightened.

Same thing happened to me. Pity, it didn't look half bad.

Okay, I recently ordered Fallout 1 & 2 Jewel Case and to while the hours away I downloaded the demo from FilePlanet and I've encountered something of a bug. When I launch the game it goes through the standard Interplay blah blah would you like to register and I say no. Then it loads as a black s...

Haven't quite sifted through this entire thread ...

Alas, Babylon, anyone?
Or A Canticle For Leibowitz?

Something more along those lines again is The Sheep Look Up To The Sky.

The only bad thing is that after you read those you get into a bit of a downer funk.
