Duck and Cover

Well if you went by Tactics canon... Well, we also see in the intro movie to the first game that the Power Armor that the Brotherhood uses was used to some degree (and it may even have been regulation) by the US military forces during the war. It also stands to reason that there would be military s...

It it just me, or does the "highwayman" in the front of the picture have two rear axles? Yeah, it does now that you mention it. I suppose that it could have been rigged that way by the townies for some purpose, but I can't for the life of me come up with a reason that would have allowed i...

Heh, I win the pool with those bastards I call friends. Fucking WoW junkies get to eat all the crow I can dish up now. Worlds of Starcraft my ass. As for this business with there being a Starcraft II, well, I can't say as though I wasn't expecting it, I just wasn't sure I'd live to see it. Personall...

Well hey now... actually managed to remember my name and log-in after all this time. Boy and His Dog: glad you're enjoying the game, I think we all wish that we could go back and play Fallout for the first time again. I'm also diggin' your progress reports, please keep them up! As for this philowar ...

Hellblazer is usually worth a look. I find the early stuff (up until Ennis left) to be a bit more satisfying in terms of pacing and structure. They American era that Azzarello wrote are pretty good, but it often gets bogged down in the "Look how fucked up Americans are!" motif. Mike Carey...

As much as I enjoyed seeing Land of the Dead on a big screen and would love to see another Romero film up there that's true to his form, this probably is the smarter route for this one. I just hope that he shoots it on actual film and makes something good enough that the studio will ask him to consi...

Consider it joined.

That's more or less correct. Even Navarro is real, and actually, is just about as big (I'm refering to the gas station here, there's no base). Actually, if you look at it seriously with a comparative element I'm pretty sure that they drew everything and placed ruins from sattelite photos. With growi...

Follow-up, hmmm....I think the last Superman movie I saw in the theaters involved MX missles and Richard Prior??? Well the beauty of it, which I very much failed to mention, is that the film pretty much acts like Supermans Three and Four never happened, or at the very least doesn't aknowledge them ...

Yeah, I got back from it a short while ago and I have to say that I was fairly impressed. I've never really been a fan of the old Chris Reeves films (Though I can, and do, appreciate them. Well, the first two anyway.) and I've never been a fan of the way that Luthor is portrayed on film (This time t...

The Beatles fucking suck. They had their place in the time they existed but their music is horrible. Wow, I didn't think I would ever come across someone who completely hated The Beatles. I mean, most people who don't like them at least like one song, but a person who despises all elements of them?...

While it may be a bit out of the price range that you're looking for, I will heartily recommend the Dell Inspiron 9300. I'm not on it right now so I can't pull up exact specs but the thing runs F.E.A.R., Half-Life 2, and Oblivion at high resolutions with most of the settings on high. It's also built...

Now, if a photograph of the discussed art were included here, then this may have trancended its oozy, French-influenced, translation-requirin' uselesness and become something akin to real news. As it is though, no, nothing doing, it ain't gonna fly with me chief.

My recomendation is that you just slum around at EB Games and pick up a used copy for a buck fifty. They're guaranteed to work and dirt cheap, plus I usually see a copy or two whenever I go hunting for something older.

Well it's not like I read the fucking Halo books or anything. I just had an interest in the setting and already knew Abnett as being a writer with an iota of talent.

Well that was interesting I guess. The graphics are pretty I suppose but nothing to writ ehome about anymore, and parts of it looked kind... fuzzy is I guess a good word for it.

Not bad. Sounds like a decent game so far and even if it isn'tthere's some good insight there into how the industry works.

Yeah, this kind of high fantasy stuff has been done. Now WH40k, there's a fresh perspective on sci-fi (assuming you haven't been reading and playing 40k for the past twenty years, mind you). The only problem is that the Emperor would invariably turn into George W. Bush and the orks would be sitting...
