There's an intriguing new quote to dig into quite often, you don't think Todd Howard is going to go media blackout on us?

Someone mentioned that they would like to see an allusion to the Great War occurring right before Halloween. Does the orange thing at 2:46 look like a paper pumpkin to anyone else?

DXHR's hacking minigame wasn't bad but a lot of it was superflous. There was basically never any reason to use the commands other than Capture, god forbid upgrading them.

Even with Cream's incite, always be prepared for a dry spell. November 10th is still a long ways away.

They should steal Deus Ex: HR's hacking mini game imo.

It was neat because the game was still going while you were taking a shot at the hacking.

So how is Fallout 4: Good Edition coming along? I want to know what happened to Vault City.

Is this a thing? Can we call refer to ropekid as Todd Howard: Good Edition from now on?

JOHN FALLOUT: [seeing the same model of a terminal for the 4,000th time] Hmm... Never seen one of these before. Guess I'm gonna have to take a gamble on it. Even though gambling sucks. Imagine gambling all the time, like in a big preserved pre-War city or something, factions, interesting people to meet. That would be so stupid and suck. Things are way better out here, with the town full of children, epic baseball memes, personality-free character models you can gently caress, and so on.

I sent out an explorer and when she returned under the Stimpack/radaway icons it showed two pistols and a radiation suit. I assumed this was loot she was bringing back, so I clicked 'collect' and she ran inside. However when I check my storage there is no rad suit and no pistols. Was I wrong? Did I screw up somehow?

A resident I sent to explore should be returning soon with also 2 weapons and 2 outfits, will report back if any bug happens

I'm also having a bug where I click the missions icon to see what I need to do to get more rewards and the game crashes. SO MUCH FUN.

Fallout 4 hasn't even been released yet and they already hosed up porting their stupidly popular version of it to the Android.

They added animations for using stimpacks on yourself. If they add an animation for drinking and/or using morphine, I can strip naked and play these games the realistic way they deserve: As a crazy person wildly self-medicated who runs screaming from one psychotic break induced mishap to another.

I don't think the game is fun at all, but I respect that they figured out the dopamine reward cycle pretty well.

pop fly to McGillicutty: Feb 2, 2004; A peckish little mouse!

Cream-of-Plenty posted:

"This doesn't just have a chip, it's got a PCI bus..." John Fallout remarks as he unwinds a spool of wire from his PipBoy and plugs it into the terminal. A "dial-up" tone immediately plays, followed by Fallout announcing that he's "hacking the mainframe!"

A pseudo-Tetris game appears, except the blocks are replaced by shaped code. Every time a line is eliminated, Fallout says something like, "Took out the firewall!" or "Rerouting!" The worse s/he is at hacking, the faster the pieces fall.

If the player is accompanied by a party member, they'll both huddle around the terminal and hammer on the keyboard like apes while saying stuff like "I've never seen a refresh rate like this!" and "Hang on, let me get a higher resolution..."

ENHANCE BY 100%!

I've never seen that happen on iPad. Did the explorer equip the rad suit? I've had them find better gear and equip it. Also if the "collect" button is red I think it means you dont have enough storage and it might trash the items if you can't store any more.

I think I figured it out. If you tap an item before you hit collect, it marks that item to be sold for caps instead of being added to your storage. I think I may have mistakenly done that!

I went into the new exhibition in the Dublin Science Gallery today. It is called SECRET and is about encryption etc.
They have a lock picking exhibit where they give you a lockpick and let you try your luck at 1,2,3,4 and 5 pin locks that look exactly like fallout locks. I failed at the 4 pin one.

Go see it if you are in Dublin line, it is really good and free.

I'll check it out.

Mr Handy exploration quotes are amusing to me. I can hear the british accept from FO3/FO4 in my mind when I read these and it's great.

"Hello! Yes you, sir! I was wondering if... Oh. You're a corpse. Well then. Carry on."

"A domestic robot dedicated to cleaning. Wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape. My OCD is going HAYWIRE."

"I think I'm getting... custodial withdrawal. i may have to enter one of these old homes and sweep up for a bit."

That's a lovely opinion you should cram back up your rear end. OWB is the best DLC of 3/NV, by a long shot. I'll fight you, or get my dad to fight your dad, or something.
