We still don't know what's in those christmas gifts, one could be a fallout 4 teaser or something. :v:

Regarding the whole fire question, here are some quotes from Fallout:
[QUOTE]In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to [B]cinders[/B]. And from the [B]ashes[/B] of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. - FO1 intro
Continents were swallowed in [B]flames[/B] and fell beneath the boiling oceans. - FO2 intro
The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear [B]fire[/B] and radiation. - FO3 intro
When atomic [B]fire[/B] consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. - FONV intro[/QUOTE]

And I thought that Land Down Under by Men at Work was sung by a Jamaican. The vocalist was actually a Scottish-born Australian.

The more you know...

Get FIXIT for Fallout 1, I forgot about 2, and I don't think Tactics really needs any mods.

It's actually called FIXT, in reference to when people used to say "fixt" when correcting someone.

Those were the days.

Not really.

But yeah get FIXT.

Use this for Fallout 2:

i had to kill him since he became hostile as soon as he noticed me. oddly, i actually felt bad for killing him :c

The circle from ES:Online, the dog from the new Wolfestein and hopefully the safe means Fallout 4.
Edit: guys we can go home, after a quick search on google I found where the safe is related to.
It is from Bethesdas new game called The Evil Within :l

[t]http://images.sgcafe.net/2013/04/image_300405_thumb_wide620.jpg[/t][/QUOTE]

if you look closely, there's a "present" right next to the safe with a green screen on it

[BananaFoam]

[QUOTE=Compent;43170160]Man Fallout 1 is fun as hell so far, Only issue so far is that the controls can be kinda awkward at the start; Right clicking is what action you want your character to do, From looking, shooting and looting.

Also the Visuals are [B]extremely[/B] murky and it can be hard to see stuff sometimes, and yes I know the game came out in 1997[/QUOTE]

I started a new save on my laptop so I can play at school. I walked South of Shady Sands and ran into the used car salesman, killed him, broke into the hut, and found two BB Guns.

I thought they would be useless so I moved on into Vault 15. Missed more shots, got pissed. My friend suggested I try the BB gun.

Fucking obliterated everything in that Vault in seconds.

Also, I am also playing Tactics and I have found it is surprisingly fun. Very underrated just because it threw out some of the RPG elements.

That's by car. Hoofing it would make it 3 days and 9 hours (81 hours) according to that.

Oh god, I had no idea the map in FONV was that accurate. Just by looking at that satellite image I can make out places where I was in FONV almost exactly as I remember ingame.

Step it up Bethesda.

Looking at that map I noticed 2 things. The first is that its crazy how close Obsidian got the New Vegas map to the real thing. The second is that I always thought it was weird how people would say New Vegas took place in California but I never realised how little of the map is in California.

I like how in New Vegas "Jean" is just a crappy hut, but in real-life it's a hotel-casino, and an airport. :v:

The scale is also hilarious, Goodsprings to Jean is 8.8 miles, you cover that distance in a minute on foot in game.

I remember the first time playing NV and I found a place called Jean Sky Diving. I looked around for an airstrip or a plane, but there was only the single shanty house with no one else around.

I ended up being pretty disappointed because there was no skydiving to be found in in the game

There is a plane and a tiny landing strip behind the shack.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;43167344]so i've installed fixt 6.1 as well as the 6.4 zip to fallout 1 but this keeps happening in windowed mode no matter what changes i make to the settings. this also happens to fo2 with the restoration project mod installed in windows mode.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/MDcYUU3.png[/img][/QUOTE]

regarding this problem, i fixed it by fully uninstalling fo1 and the fixt patch, restarting my computer, installing everything again, and then changing the graphics mode from direct draw 7 to directx 9 (which didn't work before i uninstalled and restarted for whatever reason).

time to reinstall fo2 and restoration project.
