Duck and Cover

I am indeed looking into bringing back the game that spawned the Fallout series. Stay tuned.... I assume this means that he's trying to get someone to finance the game while still retaining crucial oldschool qualities, and that it's not been happening since he got hold of the license back in 2003. ...

"Winner of the era" isn't the same as "winner of the war" though, not even if "beneficiary of the war" led to being the "winner of the era".

I'm reminded of the Hive in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri:

Recycling Tanks

It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks and
become one with all the people.

I started up the Fallout 2 Mapper to see if it would be too difficult for me to use, and I suppose that it is. But I could be mistaken. Is there an easier way to find tiles than to click 200+ times on the double arrow buttons? I read something about setting bookmarks, which I suppose would be helpfu...

First, let me tell you that I am in no way a conservative by the US definition of the word. I am not of the same political affiliations as George Bush. If I can be classified as anything, it's probably a Neocon. Now, don't get all upity that you heard "con" and thought conservative. Becau...

Say it's china, they have crappy versions of old russian tanks that would be easy to hang on to.(they're full of handholds for carrying infantry) Uh, so the tactic would be to hang on to the tank and shoot anyone trying to get out? Wouldn't that be rather easily countered by the crew driving the ta...

This is seriously cool from a FO prespective, it shows that in a post nuculear devastated area (or a fucked up place like Afrika) that common items can suddenly become valuble. Well, at least if the value of that common item is supported by a company. Unless a currency has a lot of intrinsic value,...

Apparently they're being used as currency, so I figured that I'd mention it.

I'd like to say something on this joyous occasion, but I don't speak Russian.

I guess I know of her work then, but I never knew of her (or I forgot). Snake Plissken is hard to forget though.

The actual quote was something like "I don't know if we'd suddenly do isometric, because that's not what we're good at". I guess it's 50/50 whether they'll stick to the Fallout viewpoint or to the Elder Scrolls viewpoint. I wonder if it'd work well if they used the Syndicate Wars viewpoint...

It's the aliens. To them our mundane words look exotic, so they put up the signs to make the place look 'earthly'. Kind of the way some artists like to put up chinese gibberish on signs to make their mean streets look like Hong Kong or that Bladerunner city. :D What you say? "It's humans studyi...

Yeah, I don't know about this. While I didn't exactly play as a person when I played Star Flight 1 & 2, I'm not quite sure a truck is cool enough to keep my interest, even if I am rolling around looking for ruins of lost civilizations. It's probably going to be mission based too, I suppose?

I didn't feel very lonely in Fallout, and I could see how an MMORPG in that world might seem attractive. But since every little settlement is going to have a bunch of guys running around in power armours while lugging heavy energy weapons, any kind of Fallout atmosphere is going to be turned into a ...

I suppose that for most males roleplaying is some kind of dirty, dirty secret that must be contained to a computer or to books which can be hidden from view whenever a 'normal' person comes by. Because it is definitely 'gay' to let people catch you while you are dressed up and trying to be serious. ...

Well, it sure looks like they went out of their way to make that middle platform in the tower in the last screenshot look derelict to the X-TREME. Because after the fall people will forget how to build towers in a sensible way.

Except for the growing shadows and the post-apocalyptic theme it looked like NWN to me, especially when the view switched to first person (what with the visible 'outside of area' void). The jerky motions when the camera was turning didn't impress me at all, and I would've expected smoother camera mo...

Lately I've spent more time imagining myself playing great games than I have spent time playing whats actually there to play, so I would like to thank the Secret Source for feeding my imagination.

I still have fond memories of tanks and legions mixing it up in the first Civilization, when technology could vary wildly between different civilizations. I also really enjoyed the early game in Civilization II, but I could never teach the AI to cut down jungle in order to increase the arable land a...

I think it might be interesting to have a mod like this as a base for storybased quests where you may have to wander the wastes with a purpose rather than just to look for things to kill. I also think that unless someone finishes a storybased Fallout mod, the existence of this mod indicates that a M...
