@csanders984: They don't seem to ban you for harassment and racial slurs. At least not in my experience. It's kinda fun. Read more

@meowmix: It's not as hard as some people say. Still; great choice. That's probably on my top 3 favourite games of this year so far. Read more

@theotherwhitegirl: Triforce. Read more

I really don't think that Apple article was written by a gamer. Hell, it sounds like it was written by an Apple employee using Steam as a scapegoat to sell more products. Read more

@Haydorian: Canada did actually have vaults. They were occupied early though, before the Great War; used as refuge by resistance groups. There are probably settlements out that way and there have been Canadian characters in Fallout, so it could be a possibility. Again, I think the only problem would be the lack of… Read more

@-Jack McCauley- There's no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end: Not sure exactly what your limit is but people have been experimenting with 32x32 texture packs that improve graphics quite a bit. Some screenshots are here; Read more

@Haydorian: "Our Dedicated Boys Keep the Peace in Newly Annexed Canada!"

@anaki: I think the sort of retro-futuristic themes Fallout presents kind of go hand in hand with American Cold War era society. It'd probably feel very different set anywhere else. I guess maybe you could send some Super Mutants across the pond or something, but much of Fallouts imagery is just nuked variations on… Read more

@Icarus.: Are you on Hardcore mode? You ever see 'Old Yeller'? Read more

@MrMrScott: I heard the song Kate Moss for the first time the other day. The song was all about cocaine, but rather than say it overtly they referred to it as 'Katie Moss'. Read more

@CubemonkeyNYC: Started good with diplomatic skills and abilities. Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought so I switched to evil with thief skills and absurdly high luck last night. I basically got just past Primm with each of them; so the only major decision I've made so far with either was between the Goodsprings… Read more

@zero298: Do you have it somewhere? Waybackmachine and Google cache turn up nothing. Read more

Notch never made any promises about updates. Frankly I think the work he's been doing putting a team together is far more exciting than the constant updates we used to get. It means new minds are going to bring some serious diversity to the game and really be able to clean up in places where it's lacking. Read more

@Private_Bundy: Been playing on Hardcore mode and it's not that hardcore. Every 3 in game days or so you gotta sleep, then down a bottle of water and eat some food when you wake up, and you're good for another 3 or so days. Bonus is that if you have the Classic Pack downloaded; the Vault 13 canister actually gives you… Read more

@BleedingThumbsMurphy: They went back to the original story structure of Fallout 1 and 2 and I think it works out better for the series. Sure; coming out of the vault in Fallout 3 was cool, but everything after that just kind of falls apart in a mess of subpar writing and forced quests that don't necessarily coincide… Read more

@Arnheim: Heh; this post reminded me of what Tycho said on Penny-Arcade the other day; and I'll probably quote this again in the future... Read more

@stopbanningme: WET. I'm a huge fan of old exploitation films and I find the current trend across many forms of media to try and capture the essence of them while still maintaining some kind of stylistic merit has been largely unsuccessful in most cases; with WET being a major exception. Read more

@Eternal: Bethfans? Psh. Fallout belongs to Chris Avellone. :P Read more

@AgentSmithAndWesson: I think mech in TvT is a much better option; just because of how deadly Siege Tanks can be to Terran infantry. Actually they're pretty effective against Zerg too; but if a zerg doesn't steal your gas you might as well exploit early banshee cloaking. It's works way too well sometimes. Read more
