RISUS. It's free, it's funny, it doesn't stifle player creativity with ridiculous numbers of rules. In fact, look here http://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/freerpgs/fulllist.html . Should be something there that catches your fancy. Reagrdless, just because some games have half a million books...

If you're a fan of Fallout and Fallout 2, then yes, whenever you see something that would have been much, much better with a Tim Cain or a Christopher Taylor involved, or a location which would have been much better with a Matt morgan soundtrack or even a place whihc would look much better with...

Do you believe that being involved in torture (as in, actually torturing people) proves them not to be heroes? Or that knowing about it and letting it happen proves them not to be heroes- after all "evil can only succeed when good people do nothing." If so, I completly agree with the idea...

That is not true at all.

1: But not the largest army- which is what matters. Also- remember the US also has the highest obesity rate, etc- sure 300 million, how many are useful in an invasion situation? Not many. Remember Chine has one billion people- or about three times the US population. In terms of "invasion...

Even the ones who torture people at places like Abu Ghraib?

Scotland has no fees. Our tradition is that education is a right, not a privelege. However, due to the financial situation there is talk of introducing fees for non-Scottish UK students (which will likely be much lower than the fees being paid by non-Scottish UK students in the rest of the UK)

I'd say look out one story from each Doctor. Mainly because David Tennant is a crap starting place (he's very undoctorish compared to the others), and Patrick Troughton is awesome. Wathcing these in order of Doctor is what I'd recoment as a good "whirlwind tour" of the past 48 years. In the...

Worse. The idea of (say) a mainstream RPG having a tactical combat system, or quests with multiple paths is now very slim indeed (Take Fallout and Fallout 2 compared to Fallout 3 and New Vegas- stylisticly, the first two require the player to actually think about the best way to overcome...

It's an issue of imprisonment. Lister has always had an anti authority streak and thus co-uld not consent to be imprisoned with pretty strict rules (like the 'curfew', due to Legion needing every one to be in their cells when one of them sleeps). Plus, just because they haven't mentioned it for...

RPGs of the western variety (games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, the first two Fallouts, The Witcher) are very different. RPGs aren't about stat crunching, it's about playing a role. These games let you play your character how you want to (within certain bounds). This is because they trace the...

Thats how it's said over here- today is "the second of January two thousand and eleven." I'm in Scotland. It's part of the UK. The UK is the nation that some ignorant people call "England". Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are in fact culturally diverse places, and quite often...

Have you tried looking here: http://www.tesnexus.com/ You'll need to join the site (which is free) to download anything over 2MB (which for Oblivion is most things- it's a rule of the site that hasn't been updated since it was a Morrowind mod site), but I don't think there is a better...

I have to say, those people who are claming that Fallout and Fallout 2 were to buggy don't seem to have played Fallout 3... I have completed them both- they are the gold standard of western RPGs. They are well written, they have balanced well thought out mechanics (as opposed to mass hand...

Every 1.5 years? William Hartnell seasons 1- episode 8 of season 4 Patrick Troughton episode 9 of season 4 to end of season 6 Jon Pertwee seasons 7 to 11 Tom Baker seasons 12 to 18 Peter Davison season 19 to 21 Colin Baker season 22 and 23 (then sacked) Sylvestor McCoy season 24 to 26...
