    Why bugthesda can't design a proper gun?

    You beat me to it. The big Boogeyman weapons for the Democrats and news media is the AR-15, which typically is chambered for a .223/5.56mm round. That caliber is only slightly larger than a .22LR that people shoot small game with. The difference in "grain" of the .223 and the .22LR is typically...

    Fallout Fallout 4 Thread

    It's not the settlement attacks that bothered me. It's the fact you could build an uber-defended settlement with turrets everywhere, walls, and arm the settlers to the gills and you still have to go there when there's a raid on that settlement. You go to the settlement and just stand there, and...

    Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    I mentioned it somewhere on here, forget where, but I have a hard time imagining a sci-fi writer in the 1950s jumping to writing in incest happening in the vaults. Lucy and Desi slept in separate beds. And they were married. The problem is that it's not "it's own thing". The Halo TV show is...

    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    Is anything in Fallout 3 foreshadowed, though? I'll admit that it's been over twenty years since I played it, but I don't remember anything foreshadowing Supermutants until you get close to the radio and there's that gigantic one in the way. That's also how you're introduced to the Brotherhood...

    What game did you spend the most time on?

    I love this game. It's basically Dwarf Fortress for people who only have 20 minutes every now and then. Shame it never sold well. It was fantastically done.

    Anime Atari brings back Infogrames from the dead

    Yeah, you want to read a story about how to run things very poorly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_SA Acquire, trash, sell at a loss. They were Embracer Group before Embracer Group was Embracer Group. But then again, Embracer Group used to be THQ. I'm not shocked that they're looking to...

    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered from Aspyr - for real this time

    Not always. One of the co-founders of Crystal Dynamics is David Morse, who was also a co-founder of the Amiga Corporation back in the early 1980s before Commodore scooped them up. They started off fine, but like anything in California, turned to shit.

    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    I have a feeling that they planned to have all this stuff in there, or at least most of it, from the very beginning because they can't help themselves but to include all the stuff they just recently acquired, like a little kid on Christmas morning. I would have to think they wanted to set it in...

    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    The Lamplighters, the vampire cult, and so on were all incredibly ass in Fallout 3. In addition to the vampire cult, the settlement where the quests start didn't make much sense to me. You look around the Bethesda games with the big raised bridges, very few of them are standing. You'd think the...

    Fallout Playing Fallout 1 for the first time

    But it was a feature everyone loved in Doom! I think the problem with it is that if you're in the middle of a gun fight, particularly with a lot of people, no one is going to legitimately know who shot who under most circumstances. The Fallout 1 NPCs turning hostile over getting a bullet that...

    Fallout Playing Fallout 1 for the first time

    Being able to tell a companion to move was nice, since they could block doorways and small paths.

    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    Right, but if you were going to build upon that, is that the route you would have gone? That Harold would now be a large tree in the middle of a grove, worshipped as a tree god? With the option to murder him?

    Fallout Playing Fallout 1 for the first time

    The Deathclaws were stupid. I have a feeling they did that just so you could have a Deathclaw as a companion. A dog is one thing, but you kind of have to make a Deathclaw smart enough to disguise itself to walk through most towns. Though, I will admit, the smart Spore Plant that plays chess was...

    Fallout Fallout 3 isn’t as bad as you think...

    It's not so much the fact the quests are goofy, it's how much they shit on everything that came before it. Since I skimmed through the pictures posted by Don Peste, Fallout 3 took a huge shit on Harold. What's he doing in Washington D.C.? Why did he mutate in to a full tree? Why did he become a...

    RPGs allowing you to invest skill points freely

    That's one of the big problems with the Elder Scrolls system. You know who does this system much better? Maxis with The Sims. One simple and should be obvious reason, too. The Sims only uses this system on skills that the Sim actually actively does and it's typically for things that are done for...
