I happened to like Fallout 3. It could be that I had just left Ft. Meade when it came out, so seeing how much detail they put into the city layout was a kick. Not to mention that there were a few more brilliant things about it: 1)The enclave, though based off the Oil Rig, was known to have...

Get Old World Blues. Kill the 10 cazadors there for a 15% damage boost Get the implant for another 10% cazador damage. Now, either use Anti-Mat rifle Explosive Rounds at distance Or Hunting/Riot Shotgun Or Light Machine Gun. Or Grenade Rifle. Also, after you get Veronica and her...

-A dragon somewhere around the Eldergleam Sanctuary takes a bite out of me right as I bring my shield up. Insta-death and rocket. I think my game re-loaded somewhere in Low Tamriel Orbit. -Early on, when heading up to High Hrothgar, I spy an Elk at the end of the path. I crouch, take aim, and...

Also, you can marry dude lizards, if that's your thing. Might want to be safe and leave that part out of it. To be honest, for an 'M' rated titled, it's about as violent as some 'T' rated titles out there, and the kill level doesn't hold a candle to games like Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare...

It wouldn't surprise me, given the references to 'The Divide' or 'That other courier' or 'New Canaan' or 'The Burned Man' in the original game. Then again, I sort of like that experience, as compared to DLC like the mission packs for Saints Row 2 or the Map Packs for games like CoD or Halo. It's...

Ok, and people have hated on those series. People have hated on Madden for years before MW came around, and GTA 4 was seen as a disappointment to a lot of people compared to earlier titles like San Andreas. We get it. So we shouldn't complain about obvious flaws sold as 'selling points', when...

I've had enough of this. Fagotto, your points: Most or all don't need education: You need at least a GED and over 60% on a general aptitude test to be considered for the Infantry. Other MOS categories, including admin, engineers, public/civil affairs and intelligence, require that you score at...

Aw, come on. I knew some fine Blackhawk and Apache pilots during my last deployment. Flight crew, though...

That's Basic Training. Which, as I'll point out, is incredibly different than the regular Army once you get out of AIT. Basic is meant as a build/condition phase, turning a raw recruit into a Soldier over a period of months. Yes, to many that training may seem harsh, and there are quite a few...

"It's aware..."

The problem with the 40K backstory is that we tend to shift our view to the Space Marines instead of the Imperium as a whole. It would be a lot more engaging if our characters had a bit more at stake, and had a proper range of emotional conflict and interesting interaction to make them...

I think you missed the gist of my rant: I AM going to do my job. And I'll do it well. I came here because I thought (correctly) that some Escapists had ran into similar questions in their time and could help bear the venting. It beats venting to a blank wall, and I don't want to burden the...

Maybe I should have phrased that a bit differently. A 'good' quote for me is the one that doesn't have too many stutters, is coherent and fits the messages that our unit wishes to put out there. I've used quotes with negative connotations before, yet they were still 'good' quotes because they...

I am facing a bit of a conundrum. Within the next week, Donald Rumsfeld will be doing a book signing on the post that I am assigned to for his new memoir. Being as our other writers are also covering stories, and the fact that I'm the senior writer in my shop, I've been tasked to get the...

You know, i'm genuinely surprised that the Freespace series hasn't had a mention yet. Especially Freespace 2 and some of the mod content that's out there for it. Seriously, they're on GOG for six bucks, and you can get Wing Commander and Babylon 5 packs for free, if you wish to get your nerd on.
