Wish me luck, guys. Doctors appointment concerning my kidney stones....



Ouch....

Good luck!

eesh... not too big they have to cut you open, I hope... though the alternative method of removal I wouldn't much prefer... good luck! ^^

and I reckon go to fallout 3 or new vegas- vegas is more recent (ergo- slightly better graphics), set mostly in the desert around the vegas strip, while fallout 3 is mostly urban ruins. Personally, I find the new vegas storyline better.

Really ouch... Well, good luck!

As for the FO3 storyline... The original ending was incredibly lame! But I heard they fixed it.
Obsidian is well known for their pretty awesome writers. So it was with KOtOR I and II - the second part had batter story and dialogues. Funny thing, Obsidian always doing the sequels for good games...

I disagree, NV was not as exciting to me as FO:3's story line, seemed more linear to me, despite given several alliance choices.

Well, suum cuique.

I agree with the above, wholeheartedly. I didn't feel like I had the same amount of options in NV as in FO3.





Oh, and no cutting, I will be fine..... THank you, all...

Yeah, get those taken care of dood, before you learn what PAIN is all about.

Um, Yeah... So I am told. Luckily it isn't either a stone or a kidney infection and will clear up with a few pills.




No it's not THAT, either......



Stress in my job is a muther........

Same here, the cacophony of idiocy surrounding me has made my Blood Pressure unstable, awesome at 34 years old!

I just saw this and i thought Vik must see this


here you can buy the t-shirt

Is it just me or does sheer ignorance run rampant amongst us, Dave?

Nice find, Fatty....

Aside with an obsession for little plastic rivets, i'm PERFECTLY sane! it's everyone else around me that is nuts!

at dave...even tho i already have a sigworthy quote of yours...

that must be remembered on a more brighter side^^

at max... i think if all can be mended by pills...then let it be pills...otherwise i´ve heard that stones can be destroyed by sonics... thats million times better than getting a cam inside your peepee and later on leting someone use a knife on you...i cross my fingers till they are white for you!!!

as for the recent discussion: JAKE! be aware that all your recent grafic standards will have to be lowered to a below smartphone standard if you want to play FO 1&2... because these are all just totally low graphic games... BUT the storyline and gameplay is quite brilliant and it was one of the first RPG ´s set in a postapocalyptic world...oposed to the fantastic worlds created back then en masse...

as for MMORPG´s (well rpg for a lack of a better word..no wait...scam is far more fitting...) they are atm dead for me, because they now resemble more of a work day...with idiots to booth...and it got even worse since they introduced by your gear instead of fight for your gear... now the dumb jockeys have all the luck in the world, because they pay for it to hit noobz... no skill winners...the worst part i can imagine...

FO1&2 can be purchased now with a built in down clocker for your computer.


If your aystem won't run those version, you coukd always run it in dosbox.....

Dosbox is handy for a wide variety of reasons

And yes tge stones are destroyed by the sonics but you still have to pass the debris.....

Meh, The Steam package makes it run just fine for me, the downclocking must be set up already.
HAHA Thanks Vik!

Just finished the fallout 3 main questline... about 7 hours and it's done? Way too short for my liking... new vegas took at least a dozen, most probably more.

well...the idea behind this game is that you let yourself get sidetracked as much as possible... to get the most of the game... i think you could do this with every major game out there.... do a net-run through...but where is the point in that...

at max...yep...the releasing of said debris...ouch again... hope i will never be with you on this one tho...

and dave...you´re welcome^^

Aye, but sadly my last save before the end of the mission (aside from being trapped) is missing about 3 hours of gameplay
really need to learn to save the game more as opposed to quick saving...

edit- turns out I managed to run back out of the room before I was spoken to, but now I have a follower who won't go away :(

FO3 main quest only in 2 hours and FONV in 1.5......

But then again I speed play most games on lowest difficulty so I can enjoy the story.....

It is the side stories and quests thatmake those gwmes interesting....

Case in point: Oblivion......

for now i haven´t even used the quicksave option... so...^^

max...that is damn quick... you have the book walkthrough on your knees or what?^^

quicksave is f5, and doesn't appear on other consoles ^^

yup i knows that by now^^ but my pc gets a frozen screen at totally random moments... so i try to save often ...and save for good i do... by the way... the game also saves auto saves on its own acord... whenever you get into a new zone... no ther savegame available? hmmm...

No I didn't have the book when I first got the games.....


I try to beat a game without a book at least once before I get a book and go for a completionist completion of the game.....


I just found both the main quests of those two games to be simple and easy....

well...was only teasing^^ ... i seldom cheat in a game from the start too... if...then there is something strongly fishy about said game...

damn its good to be back, dumb internet got shut off.. but dont fret my fellow patrons.. it will take more than this to keep me away!

Glad to hear it RW....

Hey, I found that FO-3 was not JUST Urban ruins, there were out door scenes there to wander about in, and it is set in the alternate Washington D.C. area. Once you add the DLC's it get's even more interesting. With helping the Outcasts you get that Alaska sim, so wintery scenes, with the Pitt, super urban
Industrial in fact! Point look out is so swamp land and bayou like with so little in the way of "civilization" in it, and Mother ship Zeta is all on board that alien starship, whose main engineering seems like a massive homage to Star Trek BTW.
Broken Steel helps with a better end to the fight as you help mop up the Enclave, and stop their mad plans and then you are like in Oblivion, free to wander about and do things with the character (especially if you have yet to finish collecting weapons and items or investigate all of the locations or finish the many side quests available.

With FO-NV they have done the same. Dead Money you get stuck in a Casino and small village outside it.
I have not done all of the DLC's I bought for FO:NV yet, but the Kind Hearts has me wandering about in the painted valley of Utah Beautiful new scenery. There is also another one that has a different setting, and the sci-fi weridness one to go through. also open now with all the DLC's as I think one allows the game to go past the final battle of the main quest line?

i think that when watching my freind play the Pitt a while back, it made me laugh.. seeing as i am from Pennsylvania, the way it looks in the dlc just makes me think of normal pittsberg and not post apoc one

welcome back to the fold RW... i was rather thinking you got totally sucked up in work...good to see you back again!

shaso... yep... i am most eager to see more outdoor fun... somehow that is much more interesting to me than all these close quarter fights were a burst is all you need... i am more a fine placed shot kinda guy anyway^^ so long ranged fights suits me more^^

the pitt i am currently most looking forward to...will the game lead me to these locations or how do i acces them?


i currently purged the chineese stray soldiers in that food factory... after that i finally got me the dogmeat dog... but i got to say... it is way creepier now the game as i have him barking and huffing around all the time... on numerous occasions one bark had nearly shoot him... i must contain myself...^^
