Carry on.
I would like to point out that stories about things people love are usually long, and seeing as though that's the entire point to this thread that your complaints are invalid.

You are forgiven, however if you do it again the mole people will rend your flesh from your bones, cackling all the while.

You have been warned. :drunk:

My first Fallout memory was when my big brother showed me the demo and helped me steal a minigun from some thugs, :clap:

Fallout memories.

Hoo-boy.

It all started during the final years of the cold war, it was a dark and
stormy night... ahem

OK, so I had a Commodore 64. Played Wasteland and other stuff.
Did some PnP, incl. Gamma World and just a little bit of Twilight 2000.
On the old Colecovision I played the War Games cartidge- I loved
the after action report about WW3 results.
I had some books on nuclear weapons effects/etc. and I actually
laughed when my mom said I couldn't watch The Day After because
it would "disturb me". Hah. She relented 1/3 way through and I
actually got bored of how lame it was.
OK, now skip ahead...
In the 90's I played very few computer games. I had a shoebox
full of C64 games I fiddled with occaisionally until the comp. died.
Then I had a marginally functional PC that could run word
proc. stuff & simple games I mostly ignored. Then a few years later
I played Doom- just the demo. I was dissapointed. I got a rebuilt Aptiva in 95/96 along with my own personal Internet access.
This is where it got good. For the computer I literally had only what
came with it or was free. MW2, my doom demo, an illegal copy of Doom2, and some emulator
games to relive the old days. I was surfing around looking for PA type
stuff and stumbled on Fallout.
Light From Heaven! I was in familiar territory and instantly got my
groove on. I did the idiot/sniper thing followed by other character concepts. Oh yessssssss. Many lost days. Many.
I hung out as primarily a lurker on the FO/FO2 boards, waiting for
the next one. Time passed... Tactics came and went- a slight
dissapointment, but hey, that' what there was. So now here I am... I was aware of NMA. DAC, etc. over the years
but only checked in occaisionally. Finally out of boredom and lack
of anything to actually play (aside from slowly edging my GTA:VC
stats beyond 200,000 killed- I'll quit permanently when I hit a million)
I decided to start dropping in on DAC.
Well, this post sort of sucked, didn't it? I didn't get around to actually
recounting my First Fallout Memories. So I'll just have to post again...maybe...maybe...maybe

I'd say being called "dirty den" only makes it more likely he wants to pound ass.

I first played Fallout and Fallout 2 soon after FO2 came out.
I was looking around on download.com and they had a feature about the top 10 most likely disasters to happen for Y2K. They gave nuclear war 2:1 odds and recommended playing Fallout to prepare. I downloaded the Fallout demo and was blown away; it was unlike any other game I ever played. I played the demo dozens of times and kept getting surprised by the different courses of action. About a week later a friend of mine and I went and got FO and FO2. We spent the whole summer playing them and calling each other constantly with "How do you make the guy do this?" and "Did this happen to you?" It was great.

I played fallout about 2.8 times. Than i heard that fallout II was being made. So i played fallout again like 2.8 times to get in the mood for fallout II. Than when it came out i bought it and than i played fallout 2 about 2.8-15 times. Kinda last the count now. And now i am replaying fallout again cause i forgot most of things in it. It has been like 5 years since i played first fallout last time. And its fun again. MAMMA 4 LIFE

First thing I remember is my ass being raped by Ka'An the rat or whatzhisname while desperately trying to fight back with a Pipe Rifle.

I don't remember how I came up with playing FO1, I do remember though, that I came to this forum via some link and got instantly hooked on "The Wasteland", Pyro, Lasse and the others were my heroes, or something.

Thus I was unhappy when all of a sudden the forums went down, but cheerful when I finally found this new server, hooray, cheers for beers, I guess. And Fallout 1 is bestest. Umm yeah.
