The Gaming Thread

I had created a finely ( precariously ) balanced mixture of 3 gig or so worth of mods when I played Fallout 3 the second time through. Practically replaced every art and sound resource and had the game overhauled from the ground up ( FWE <3 ). Then I started making my own companion mods. ><

FWE, MMM, WMK and EVE are all musts though just for game mechanics. Even if it is a science onto itself making them all work together properly.

I'd recommend Fallout3nexus.com for picking up mods though.

Currently playing through Oblivion after subjecting it to the same massive mod overhaul treatment. Only play Borderlands when friends are about to play with. Its too much fun co-op.

I've visited that site before, believe its where I found the Fellout mod for lighting & the Enhanced weather mod

I love the co-op games. Get together with friends now & then to have some wicked games of L4D & L4D2 using skype to yell at each other
Wasn't very struck with killing fields though, only played that a few times before it lost its appeal.

F3Nexus is pretty much THE place to go for any mod needs.

Pity I can never find a player home i actually like though, I've found some close but not quite what I'm after, I'm picky like that.

IF you use FWE, don't even think about visiting Old Olney anytime soon, it's a deathtrap.

FWE makes it more of a survival game, which really is how it should be all things considered.

Killing time till Dragon Age: Awakening. -.-

Anyone here play Fiesta?

LOL I remember the first time I visited Old Olney... closely followed by the 2nd time

[RayvenQ]

I encountered 3 Deathclaw matriarchs in Old Olney and let me tell you, matriarchs are bigger, badder and hella meaner than regular ones, Put it this way, GNR behemoth is easier to take down in vanilla FO3 than a Matriarch is in FWE.

But damn I can't help myself going D'aww when I see little geckos and wasteland scorpions mooching around the place.

One thing i miss in FO3 from the old games is the ability to target the eyes and groin, just so satisfying.

I can see me not getting much work done in the not so distant future if I start installing those mods

/tries not to look at all the sticky notes stuck around the PC

[RayvenQ]

Do it, just look at all those awesome features FWE lists, don't you just want to be part of that?

Really adds a ton of stuff, words just aren't enough.

I wish they'd put Ron Perlman as the voice for Three Dog, would have been an awesome cameo.

Fight it out! Leave lots of time for reaction shots, and try to stay out of direct line of sight when you end turn. Move all your guys a couple of spaces after an alien has seen them, as they target the spot you were in when they saw you last if they can't see you directly. Usually, you won't lose too many if you move quickly.

These are Ethereals, the ones that use mind control at every opportunity, usual battle tactics won't be as effective when my squaddies and sergeants shoot each other (and probably my commander)

Spartans may be cool and all, but they ain't no Space Marines

True. Spartans don't die a painful, screaming death after taking only 2 or 3 hits from one of their own plasma guns!

The Space Wolf here would like to voice this come back.


BLUEBERRY SCUM!!!!!

I'm not impressed, considering Fire Warrior was the crappest 40K game ever.

Let's see you blue bastards willingly board a genestealer infested Space hulk and see how tough you are.

Another Space Wolf here, hardest bastards around, since what we drink to get drunk, will pretty much kill any other living thing.
