I'm positive he didn't die as I was in Rivet City when he went missing. Not sure why it bothers me, as his favourite game to play was "charge the minigun", so I'd have to reload to keep this jerk of a dog alive. I'm hoping you were stoned, Jizzy, otherwise I'll find Dogmeat's corpse leaning on a rock surrounded by dead rope toys or something,

^FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU! Dogmeat wandered off and I haven't seen him since. I haven't gotten a message saying he's dead...he's just gone. Might have to try using the console to get him back. Can't remember what I was up to last time I played, and I am enjoying it, but this games setting makes no sense in the wider Fallout world. I mean, the BoS are all happy and welcoming, when they're meant to be techno-hoarding jerks. The Enclave is mysteriously back again. Despite the NCR spreading through the Wasteland and rediscovering technology, cities in DC are protected from Raiders by bits of metal. Where Super Mutants have a complex history and they've developed beyond being mindless savages without The Master to guide them, we are back to "huuuuuuuurrrrrrr mutants". It feels like an adventure game with a Fallout skin. Despite the hate NV got, I feel it captured the Fallout "feel" much better. Also, it's been 200 years since the bombs fell...why is there still tonnes of loot in every building? Wouldn't they have been stripped bare like in NV? I can't find the article unfortunately, but I'm led to believe Fallout 3 was initially meant to occur much closer to Fallout, which would make a lot more sense.

Yeah it's fucking gross... but my tolerance for transgender freakery is pretty low... For relevance, I've arrived at the Mojave Outpost and about to go see what's happening in Nipton... the factions thing is going to do my head in... It's not too bad. Aside from a couple where you pick one or the other the majority of factions are independent of one another. I made it to Rivet City. Everyone here is a jerk. I'd shoot them all, but I'm sure most will be essential characters. Anyway, to continue with the survival guide I need to go into the other bit of the ship which has Mirelurks in it, so I may hold off for the minute. I'm thinking I'll either go to GNR, or possibly do Operation: Anchorage to get it out of the way. Also I seem to recall if grants you Power Armour training.

Finally onto volume 2!

I was outrunning them as my SPECIAL is pretty great, but I was still using stimpacks like a fiend, and I can't afford to buy more. Honestly, my face during the whole incident was similar to the pregnant dwellers running from mole rats in Fallout Shelter...except I cried more. I'm thinking of giving you guys a photo journal of my experiences, as it's been pretty funny so far. I spend most of my time running away or hiding...who doesn't wanna see that? I'll complete this thought when I'm somewhat sober, but I haven't played Fallout 3 since it was released. I remember I had a brilliant time. I ignored New Vegas until a month or so ago. No idea why. Since then I've been playing Fallout almost exclusively (the odd game of cricket interrupts me) and I have to say...Fallout 3 makes absolutely no sense in the Fallout world. NV fucking kills it (although I'm biased toward Obsidian. Fuck I love their games) but it also has little to do with Fallout 1 and 2. It just...doesn't fit. Anyway, when I sober up I'll give you guys a proper explanation of why NV kills 3. I'm not schizophrenic.

Hooray! It's started crashing lots. Between dodging super mutants, crashing, and having to reload because I keep forgetting to leave Dogmeat in Megaton as the fucker goes out of his way to get killed, I'm never going to reach Rivet City. Dunno why I was heading there, either. Still haven't been to GNR. Thinking about it I may have forgotten to install the 4gb patch...hopefully that's it. Bones: The Mirelurk part of the survival guide went really well for me. Ran out of stealth boys, then couldn't find the exit and was chased around by 5 Mirelurks for a while until I finally got out. Only to be attacked by one outside the door. I survived...just. It was hilarious when I told Moira that the Mirelurks were "none the wiser". They were pretty angry at me. Edit: Ok just loaded my save. Thought I was cowering outside a mutant camp. I load and there's a bunch of dead mutants and I have a minigun. I need to stop drinking, I have no idea how this happened.

Took me about 120 hours when I last played through. I did basically every quest too. I'm hoping Primm Slim is the new sheriff... I'd forgotten how much harder 3 starts than NV. I got jumped by Super Mutants as I tried to get to the metro tunnel to get to GNR, and had to run away. Currently hiding in Megaton.

You should definitely punch Caesar in the face when you meet him. He won't mind, trust me.

Yeah, rolled 1. Much rather have the extra luck and intelligence.

I had some Play credits left over for some reason so I bought a Mr. Handy. Pretty useless to be honest. I have to keep sending him to the Wasteland so he doesn't die in a mole rat attack. And yeah the game isn't very deep, but I don't spend much time on it each day so I'm not over it...yet. Anyway, I'm about to start Fallout 3. In NV my Courier had Charisma set at 1 as it seemed useless, any reason not to do this in 3?

Anyone been attacked by Deathclaws? I think I'm fucked when they finally do. Why are they listening to the radio, anyway?

Well, I feel unintelligent now. I am currently splitting time between Star Wars X-Wing: The Bacta War (Michael A. Stackpole) and The Applied Handbook of Dog Behaviour and Training Volume 1: Adaptation and Learning (Steven R. Lindsay). I'm so cool.

So I decided to give this a go now that it's on Android. It's surprisingly fun. I have 32 dwellers currently, and all my resources are full, so I think it's time for another great breeding initiative. I like this, as it's eugenics I can practice without the cops getting involved. Also, for some reason all the early lunchboxes kept giving me dwellers wearing luchador outfits, so now any wastelander who meets a member of Vault 666 must think we're a cult of Mexican wrestling fans.

Yeah I investigated it a little more. Sounds like a fuck around given 3 works fine for me. Also it combines the Lone Wanderer and The Courier into one character.

Has anyone tried the Tale of Two Wastelands mod?

Think I'll stay on 7 for now. Anyone know if 10 has issues with older games like 8 often did?

I have a habit of drinking myself to death every time I'm in my house. It's just like real life!

I am almost certain that Johnny Guitar is played more than any other song.

Yeah I love both. Getting ready to play through 3 again. The only issue with NV I have is after 100 hours the songs, which I like, started driving me insane. I promised myself not to ever get excited about a new game again, but I'm getting pretty excited about 4. Hopefully it won't end in tears.

If I didn't already own them all on Steam...Still tempted. Anyway, just finished playing New Vegas. I know a lot of Fallout fans hate that game but it's actually my favourite. Love the Western theme. While I'm looking forward to 4 I'm unlikely to buy on day one. Bethesda does have a habit of poor PC releases.The only concern I have for 4 is from the footage I've seen it doesn't seem to have skills...I'm assuming I'm wrong as you can't have a Fallout game without skills.

Haven't bothered reading the topic. Dropped out of Uni as I hated it and doing an Arts degree in Australia is a great way to be unemployed. I train dogs now. Best decision I've ever made.

Shadow of Mordor as it's the only game on the list I've played and liked. Lack of GTA V story updates as I'm not bothering with MP until it's on PC. And Battlefront, for obvious reasons.

I do like how iOS allows me to set location data for individual apps, rather than all in or all out like Android seems to be.

Thank you. And hello, Handsome!

I'm tempted to buy it just for the videos. I must admit, I can't believe you guys are still arguing about phones. They're all basically the same, and do the same things, it all comes down to personal choice.
