The game begins with your birth, where you choose your sex and name, then customize your characters look, with the game informing your new parents that "this is what your child will look like in their twenties". It's a neat little touch, keeping everything nice and immersive - I mean, if you've gone this far to ensure the "Fallout atmosphere" is retained, there's no point breaking it with rubbish menu prompts every couple of seconds.

gstaff commented on Fallout 3 Has Over 200 Endings

@FLYBOY611:

If you listen to his answer on it (starting about 38 min into the podcast), I think it'll make a little more sense. It's not that each of these endings would be completely different, but rather things you do during the game can tweak different endings.

I wonder if they're getting hammered, I cant get my order to go through

My friend Luke used to write for you guys, that's how I found out.

All you really need is Commando. I guess Ken didn't get the memo.

Other than hand cramps caused by the headphone jack being too close to the analog nub, i'm loving the game.

I think there's some validity to some of his points here, but despite taking a page from Indiana Jones, it's still a very enjoyabe game to play.

gstaff commented on Rock Band Gets Oasis, Officially

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:52:24 MST

@Jypsy:

I'm an Oasis fan, but I don't try to think they're the next Beatles...just a band that has some good anthems and songs to sing in a bar, or now, on Rock Band.

gstaff commented on How to Get 800 Free MSoft Points

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 11:47:41 MST

Somewhat related, whatever happened with the email folks were supposed to get about 500 free points if they were a Live member since 2002 (that's me!). Once when I was on the phone with Microsoft, I mentioned it and they had no idea what I was talking about.

Did anyone ever get this?

Happy to see you guys are liking the diary. We've definitely received a lot of questions re: how the BoS would come to DC, so I was glad Emil was able to right something up about it.

Whoa, I've got 9 of 10 (no Ace Combat). Pretty obvious picks though.

@SigmaHyperion:

You're right, it didn't get mentioned, though I do know that folks have been playing it (I noticed Pete playing a bit earlier this week.

I did notice that Emil commented that he was playing it in our weekly "What we're playing" the week before.

I see this ad everyday on my metro ride to work. I suppose fellow riders would think I'm a demon if they learned I work for a company that lets little Bill get fat and lazy like that.

@Morberis:

As noted, we received tons of submissions...the response to the contest was great as were many of the suggestions. It definitely wasn't easy just picking one perk to be the grand prize winner.

@thegetupkid:

Yeah, I had a similar feeling. Though I was pretty wide eyed and smiling when I first played the Bioshock demo too...but for different reasons.

gstaff commented on Buy Bioshock, Get The Darkness Free

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:54:15 MST

Pretty awesome deal. The Darkness is worth playing...especially for free.

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:07:33 MST

So I've had the same account since 11/02, but whenever I enter a one month subscription card to my membership (each time I've had a new 360 sent to me), the account membership says it's only been active since the month I registered the card...I wonder if that will matter.
