Holy Cow, you only have


How the heck do you survive with only 10 Bobby Pins?


And ... have to agree with SubRosa on this one, sure wish I had that in real life,

@mALX´s joke -

@mALX´s question about bobby pins - Nowadays I rarely have to pick a lock; all that can be picked has been picked and thus I have sold off a huge amount of pins for The Greater Good™

NEVAH!!!! I usually end the game with 600,000 Bobby Pins, lol.

How in heck?

Cho Zenwahn can't even afford to buy a house yet!

Buy a house? I don't think there is one to buy,

Maybe Renee meant the room in the Rivet City?

It's the only buyable living space in FO3 IIRC.

I thought we could buy a house in Megaton? Maybe we have to do some quest for this house though eh? It's been awhile.

Cho is in Rivet City right now, looking for Doctor Li. Actually he just found her.

You have to disarm in the nuke in Megaton to get the house there. Or blow it up to get the suite in Tenepenny Tower. Those are the only ways to get a house in FO3. You can also rent rooms for the night at Moriarity's and Rivet City.

Those rooms in Moriarty's are frickin' expensive though! I guess since they're supposed to come with their own form of ... uh ... "entertainment".

Then again, "expensive" is a relative term for some of us. Just look at Mirocu, with his 400,000 caps, for instance. With that sort of money, he could buy Moriarty's, he could buy Megaton itself. He might even be able to buy Rivet City. Imagine the thought.

You caused me to spray diet caffiene free coke everywhere!!!!

Bugger. Renee just revealed my secret plans

There we go. Donald Trump aint got nothing on the Crowboy. With his 400,000 caperoos. Sheesh, last I saw, Cho Zenwahn was lucky to find a free bedroll without a rotting corpse lying next to it.

Mirocu's going to build a wall to keep those wastelanders out!

We are just lucky it will be 10 years before he starts FO4. Just think what trouble he could get up to there. What with the settlement building and controlling of traders. Not Donald Trump, more like the Lord Humungus!

I am back onto Skyrim at the moment while I wait for the big gorilla to arrive. I have 3 weeks off work in November just to make it even more special. I have noticed that the other guys at work take time off that coincides with their children's school holidays, me I just coincide with my Bethesda baby. Lol.

Anybody else got time off? Or kicking back while retired?

I tossed up the idea of Fallout 3 again but I know that bloody game too well. So I booted up Skyrim and just starting playing it. I am actually enjoying it. Strange.

Faendal is dual wielding the 2 staves that I gave him. He is scaring the Oblivion out of me by shooting flame spells and then resurrecting the dead enemies.

BOLD: =


I know what you mean about knowing a game too well; and suddenly playing it loses the ability to mesmerize and immerse - I have been feeling that way with Oblivion this year. I've done every quest and cleared every dungeon so many times that it becomes mechanical because I know where every enemy is; every line of dialogue.

Sometimes you just feel like the ease of familiarity; but most of the time the excitement of the unknown is what draws you into a game so deeply and makes it so fun.

I'll never forget my first time playing every game, when you have no idea what is going to happen next. That is always the one that feels the most exciting, even if it isn't your best playthrough.

So true mALX!

It is going to be so weird to play a new Fallout without actually knowing anything about it. This will be the first time I have done this in any game in the last 15 years. I am really looking forward to it. Perhaps this is a new direction in Todd Howard games and the industry. Remember the days when we would buy a game on how good the box art was?

Avoiding the internet during the first few weeks will be the hard part.

I am hoping for some more Liberty Prime moments ie(screaming at your family to come into the room while that controller goes crazy!)

And as for the other games I am lucky that I spend most of my Bethesda gaming just retrying new builds and end up running over the same old ground in the game. I have yet to have a high level character in any game except for FO3. Lol. So I don't have the problem of knowing the entire game that way!

Oh, that was THE moment that topped any other in any game I've ever played before or since! It just isn't the same on the PC; not as epic as the console controller jumping out of your hand made it. I really miss my 360!

(but will never give up PC gaming because of the ability to mod them, lol).

Today was a robot day in the Capitol Wasteland; everywhere I ran I met either a Mr Gutsy, Robobrain or those tripods

Tripods? You mean like the Enclave ones that glow blue?
