I've practically spent the night working on my new 'building' - took a lot of faffing around and it isn't pretty (I suppose you could say it looks like a bomb's hit it! ) Couldn't build any higher unfortunately but this is how it looks at the moment. Still a lot to do and there'll be a few changes along the way... Going to have to put a wire fence on the 'balconies' - I fell off quite a few times whilst building!

I filled a random house in Sanctuary with strobe lights, mirror balls, and other things of that nature. A single house in my town, holding a rave fueled by Bing Crosby.

Here's my Lowrider video...months later...I probably won't ever bother editing it more, so here it is! /Edit: upon further reflection...I think I jumped the gun on this one, pretty sure I have a longer version with more clips in it that are edited a little tighter than the example above...oh well, one of these days I'll spend more time in the Editor.

Wish i was there. Haven't been in a good two or three weeks now I'll get some time off work soon hopefully.

those teddy bears tho!!! ... so here's my lot... i didn't snap a lot, but we had a decent turnout and it was pretty fun... the night started out slow, but eventually a lot us put down fallout for a few hours and had some fun... me and dio driving around for a fuck long time, waiting for people to join... bmx was there... posing with pablo escobar... dio's new job, w/ gtagrl... THIS IS SPARTA!!! cruising with the grl... pretending she's shooting raiders... delilah standing there with truth, weev, R2 and gtagrl... not much to look at, but i didn't really bother with saving clips tonight... perhaps there's a good tornado in my video clips from dio's sky match... i'll check those later, but now it's time to play a bit of fallout before i crash for the night ...

they listened to good music back in the future ...

Power is pretty straight-forward. 1. Build a generator 2. Build a power pylon and connect it to the generator using wire. 3. Build a power conduit on the ceiling/wall and connect it to the pylon - all nearby electrical appliances will be powered, including lights (certain items require direct connection to a power conduit, pylon, or generator) 5. Create a web of connected power conduits to supply the entire area. Note; your generator must be large enough. 6. Use switches to break circuits and block power to a conduit. 7. Be sure to switch the generator off and on if your lights/TV etc. are not working. Generator>Pylon>[switch]>Conduit>Nearby lightbulb/TV etc.

still waiting on the digital copy, but here's the actual copy... i told you this shot looked bad ass! ... i actually look like a fucking pirate, and someone told me that i look like i was ripped straight from the history books... i still can't believe how fucking awesome this turned out, i am speechless...

Well there. After having to bend the router to my will and joining an hour late, I managed to last just under four hours before caving and leaving to play Fallout 4. Mostly because the only thing anyone could talk about is Fallout 4. I didn't take a single pic or video clip from tonight...but we had a blast. Couple of great playlists, and DiO's hatchet job is so awesome it got an encore play. Also, teddy bears.

If I continue to have NAT-type mic problems tonight, I'll be telling Rogers to go fuck themselves, in high style.

Right now I'm concentrating on foraging and want to get Sanctuary to that point too, where all the houses have power and street lights are set up, vendors and supply lines established...I'd like to get them and Tenpines in decent shape before visiting Diamond City. FYI a steady supply of purified water shows up in the workshop inventory if you put a medium-sized water purifier in the river. I probably have about 30 stockpiled now, comes in handy if stimpaks run low.

My Sanctuary home has a ceiling fan and the switch works...but I put in a floor lamp in the same room with a second switch, and it doesn't work at all. It's the standing floor lamp with the curved arm, it shows 'activate lamp' when you look at it but it won't turn on; it might not need a switch but in that case I'm not sure which connector it needs to get power. I did get multiple hanging light bulbs working in the workstation house, also with switches. I've also got a couple of windmills built but can't get them connected to a generator either, it glows white when I try to connect the wire but the connection doesn't stick. Any tips are welcome. /Edit: On the subject of soundtrack, although it's nice to hear the old familiar tracks from previous games, I'm curious as to why they didn't curate a brand new playlist for this game, there certainly isn't a lack of material to choose from.

Have to admit I absolutely love the music, even though it's not the type I normally listen to in the car/on my mobile. Sets the tone perfectly. 'The Wanderer' is my personal favourite though! Onto other things, I've now built a perimeter fence all around Sanctuary - only way in or out is through a couple of gates. Also a couple of turrets for good measure but could do with a couple more. Started work on a new building which I'm building gradually as and when I get more materials - not used a pre-fab this time, building it from scratch. Going to try and build it multi-story. Found quite a few useful bits and pieces out and about including a few fusion power cores which will obviously be very handy (some were at the same location which I managed to clear of raiders).

Me too, this is a nice break from listening to GTA radio stations... After hearing track 8, "Crawl Out Through the Fallout" by Sheldon Allman, I had to look it up...it sounds like it's from the right era, but the lyrics made me wonder if was a modern song, written and recorded in ye olde style just for the game...but fun fact, it's a real song from the 1960s. Sheldon Allman (June 8, 1924 – January 22, 2002) was a Jewish American-born Canadian raised actor, singer, and songwriter. In 1960, Allman released Folk Songs for the 21st Century, an album of novelty songs all revolving around science-fiction themes. The tongue-in-cheek material, which Allman wrote and arranged himself, included titles such as "Crawl Out Through The Fallout" and "Radioactive Mama." [1] Radioactive Mama is the first song...holy tongue-in-cheek, love this shit.

thanks for the link, listening to it in the BG while working... there were some songs that repeated from both 3 and NV... but i love this kind of music, i'll just put on pandora stations with this kind of music all day... i love the 20's-40's big band/jazz music...

I'm listening to this at work today, no pesky annoying DJs, just the tunage. A few of the songs are directly from Fallout 3, I never played NV so can't say if some are recycled from that too. The classical station is good so far too, it's nice when I'm puttering around in Sanctuary, and not creeping through dark corners waiting for feral ghouls to drop out of the walls and attack. Although the red spiked bat I made is making short if gruesome work of it.

Turned on Diamond City Radio yesterday for the first time, after turning on the beacon to call more settlers to Sanctuary. I'm pretty much just going to listen to Bing Crosby for the next 6 months.

i really wanna do that MC night soon as well ...

nope. id wanna make jobs and shit for that. not making jobs cause im playing fallout. see the probelm
