TC you must have some (Female dog)in connections. Like how the heck did you pull off being able to play the game for 5 hours? and where cause i would rub my knees raw for a chance to play that game for even an hour.

Well can't seem to find the actual interview but here is atleast one link that shows that I'm not totally insane :laugh4:Quote:

Similarly, the extent of mod support has yet to be determined. The company would like to ship a construction kit with the game, but specific plans have not been made.
My wife and I are friends with 4 Bethsoft employees, so we were invited to do a 'Focus Test' of an early beta at the Bethsoft offices (in Bethesda, Maryland, outside DC). Essentially they just watch you play the game, take notes on what you do, and ask questions about what you liked, what you didn't like, etc. I think there were about 80 people who took part over 4 days, though there were only about 15 on the day we went. Hopefully we'll get invited back for a second round, if they have one, because it was a fun afternoon.Quote:

:balloon2:
I'm wary of spilling information I shouldn't, have they announced which platforms its going to be on yet?
[edit] NM, found myself that they had already announced it for PC, Xbox, and PS. All three platforms were being tested when I was there (I think), but there was only one PC setup available when my wife and I got there. Since I have to live with her, I let her have the PC and I ended up on an Xbox.
If you guys have pre ordered you get a nice music cd and poster. I kinda like the first three songs but the last two kill the whole groove
Love it or hate it Fallout 3 is coming... and here are the new videos you've been waiting for... :2thumbsup:

I'm not loving it nor hating it. But wow, that gameplay looked awkward, not fun and incredibly unimpressive. You should be able to use that mini nuke to nuke the gameplay of Fallout 3.Quote:

Dunno about the mini nuke, but that video is an accurate (if very fast) representation of how VATS works.Quote:

Never understood the hype of Fallout 3 since I never played the first 2, but today I read I think the latest issue of PC Gamer which had a feature article on it. I must say, from what I have read so far, it is like S.T.A.L.K.E.R(which I've loved playing), but with alot more RPG style(which I like). I just hope I get a new comp by the time it is released since I'm almost 100% sure that my current comp can't even start it
I highly recommend Fallout 2.
Didn't like the time limit in the first game but that is gone in FO2.
Fallout 2 is like a game unleashed, no rules no nothing.
You can whore yourself, blow children into tiny little bit, do drugs etc.
It has quite alot of bugs and I suggest that you save often since it has a habit of crashing but it's so good.
Playing Fallout 2 this weekend again...
Fallout 2 + Fallout 2 Restoration Project + Timeslip Engine Tweaks + Resolution Patch
Playing it on my Vista machine at 1680x1050...
It does crash out occasionally but then it takes about 10 seconds to start up and load a game and you have to save a lot in Fallout anyway, it is pretty deadly for a CRPG...

This link for the Fallout 2 Restoration thingy appears to be broken. Try this one instead.Quote:

Hyperion’s “cartridge” reactor or “nuclear battery” is small, portable and self-contained, which could make it a good fit for remote, rural locations that are disconnected from the power grid. The company says the device can be delivered where it is needed and then sent back to the factory for refueling every five years.
Awesome, with these things being hauled around the countryside every five years we'll be living in the wastes before you can say "Would you like a gimp mask with that motorbike sir?".
Man sure hope I get dipped, I'd love to be a super mutant.
Some new gameplay footage. The indoor stuff seems very Stalker-esque to me ... not that that's a bad thing, mind ...
A new movie, moderately amusing.
Things like this give me real hope:
There're some freaky random things that happen to keep you on your toes - I had a woman run up to me in the middle of nowhere begging for help because she was strapped with explosives. She ran off, not really giving me any opportunity to help her (bug?) and then exploded. Weird.
5 new videos at gametrailers.

Apparently, we can regenrate limbs now.

It'll be fun to read, from time to time, how one made progress in the game.
The city on the other side turned out to be the ruins of Bethesda, Maryland. :laugh4:Quote:

Anyone been to the DC metro lately? They've bought more advertising space than Toughbook! My God, it felt like I was in the vault!! ~:eek:
I've heard its all over Metro Center (as usual, the epicenter of WMATA advertising) but there's nothing on my normal route (Vienna -> McPherson). Are they the 'flip-book' style ads in the tunnels like they've been doing on the red line, or just posters in the stations?Quote:
