Also, I swear to god every time I see him he gets more swole. I wonder what his workout routine is.

Ping Duraframe and Sensuki to find out. If they don't already know.

 

[Nihiliste]

He's too busy being a bro.

It's doubtful they know his workout secrets but I'm sure they'll be able to deduce them from pictures of his bowel movements.

 

[Xor]

I'm no Obsidian stalker by any stretch but I do remember an MCA interview where he talked about his workout routine.

 

[Roguey]

When was the last time MCA posted here?

[Decado]

Maybe he would post here more often if you goddamn creepshows hadn't run him off. :kwafuckyeah:

 

[DalekFlay]

*masturbates on MCA's photo*

*looks up*

What are you talking about?

 

[Jaesun]

We are the fuel that powers MCA. He only absorbs our HATE he doesn't need to post.

Reading this thread is disturbing. And that's from someone who read some weird BSN shit...

 

[Sensuki]

I only care about Pillars of Eternity related stuff.

Duraframe, you are a creeper.

You are always there with a handy information. Incredibly efficient and a bit disturbing. You and Sensuki are leaps and bounds beyond the state of Rogueyism.

Ladies and gentleman, Fallout 3:

It's a truly special western role-playing game, one with a deep, post-apocalyptic plot, memorable characters, and an emphasis on choice. Six years later, it still hasn't been outclassed by any game of its kind.

Except for Fallout New Vegas, which sadly didn't come to us at review time with a pound of coke and 3 hookers. Yeah, it does all of this and ten times better, but you just don't upset Bethesda or they stop sending blow.

But that quote is just twisting the knife.

Sorry, IGN and all that, so who the fuck cares right? I needed to vent to the choir, as it were.

 

[2house2fly]

New Vegas is much less Post Apocalyptic in the "A Boy And His Dog" vein than Fallout 3, which seems to be a big reason why its fans prefer it- everything in Fallout 3 is dead, violent and hopeless, hence everything the player character does feels more charged with significance because, eg, this is the last Stradivarius violin in the world. New Vegas is a lot more like The Postman, where there was an apocalypse I guess but things seem to be generally OK now, and players don't get to feel as much like heroes despite New Vegas having a lot more overt heroism in it.

"Deep" though, that's a laugh

 

[Ninjerk]

How dare you compare that movie and that game. Jason Robards is crying in heaven.

 

[nikolokolus]

Fallout 3 has a "deep post apocalyptic plot" in the same way that Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride) is a historically accurate diorama depicting the life and times of Edward "Blackbeard" Teach. To any yahoo calling it "deep" I present you "Little Lamplight."

 

[Akratus]

I don't know what you mean. Little Lamplight is pretty deep underground.

This. The part about a post-apo ambiance isn't that far off the mark; in the same time, it's one of the main differences between F3 and F1, F2, and F:NV - they weren't so serious about what happened. The rest of the article quote? New Vegas did a better job in terms of memorable characters and as for the emphasis on choice... that topic's been mulled over on the Codex, countless times.

I sure hope you meant "roster"...

Getting yoked son? It's all about hitting those macro counts. We're bodybuilding.com now. The Brodex's guide from going to basement dweller to alpha yoked gym freak beast. One more rep homo, you can do it.

Also to karf, pretty much. F1, F2 and F3 had the right blend of 50s world of tomorrow with grit. Fallout 3 felt too much like the road and every other grim grey shithole post apoc story I've read since I was a kid. The apocalypse can be fun while going "pew pew pew pew pew" and rolling int/charisma checks.
