    Russian-Ukrainian war

    The situation is dangerous. When the Crimea occupation operations began in March Russia conducted military exercises from its naval base in Kaliningrad in the Baltic sea. It primarily consisted of anti-submarine and anti-air exercises. At the same time naval exercises were conducted in the...

    Chris Avellone's Fallout 4 Wishlist

    I actually liked the core concept of the Legion. While their methods are draconian to say the least they are still crude but effective. Using heavy military discipline with the total war and scorched earth concept- I could see that forging together a wide spectrum of different tribes, severing...

    Cut Content: Haha. Well that is one romance subplot that I actually would have wanted to see unfold. :lol:

    Kotaku Ranks The Fallouts

    The comments section makes me wonder how come the "amusement park" styled games that Beth pulls off resonate so well with so many people? I mean are they not bothered from the lack of coherent and logical setting (+godawful writing) or do a large portion just write it off "it is a game: its not...

    Metro: Last Light released today

    So this is what it is all about eh? :lol: No dont get me wrong, I love the sense of dread and adrenaline that starts flowing when I am immersed and facing unknown hostiles in a horror setting. I just am wondering about the actual reasons why I feel threatened in the first place and how they...

    Metro: Last Light released today

    True but if I remember correctly you could kill the patients with flashes in the Cradle. Other weapons disabled them temporarily (as long as you didn't get too close to the "corpses"). Another example would be the Silent hill series where you are also carrying a arsenal around, although you are...

    Metro: Last Light released today

    Hmm dont remember the enemies being too bullet spongy. Although I do remember a annoying bug that reset all my filters at the start of a new level. Never got past the library level on ranger difficulty because I suffocated before I got a new filter. But yet again that atmosphere. Especially...

    Metro: Last Light released today

    Well I see Ukraine still lives up to its names direct translation "borderland". Seriously though I am really looking forward to the new Metro title. 2033 IMO is a good example of a railshooter done right. Oh and that atmosphere... there is something in the post-soviet setting that really...

    Metacritic Matters: How Review Scores Hurt Video Games

    TB has been raging about Metacritic as well for as long as I can remember. But Metacritic isn't going anywhere anytime soon so I would like to ask, how to at least control the damage? For one I wonder if imposing and enforcing a unified "rating" system would help (yes, yes: I know that...

    Obsidian CEO Talks Working on Fallout Again

    Its a question of personal taste. For me the west coast is getting a tad too civilized and I would like to see a more Fallout 1 like world where you have a large wasteland with small pockets of survivors who really have only limited contacts with each other. Not large governing bodies stretching...

    Obsidian CEO Talks Working on Fallout Again

    A fallout setting based entirely on LA? Could be interesting. Probably something similar to Bloodlines in terms of hub areas and side-quests. The only real downside IMHO is that Beth does not allow to move back in the timeline. Pretty dumb because now what I have gathered from the fallout lore...

    Wasteland 2 tidbits; conference, panel, docs, map

    Tango Hotel India Sierra. :lol: I might just add that in a world where MILSURP can leak easily there will be times where someone with CE skills can become pretty well demanded. Never known when you need footthieves for ambushes or on the other side, BARMA ops. Although I have service and...

    'My Little Fallout'

    Here is something that gives it a nice round-up :D. Personally, I prefer Doland over ponies :P. Especially after those derphoofs slaughtered me in Diablo 3-s inferno ponyland :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olLDrvc1qt4&feature=g-user-u

    Tidbits on Unity Engine and Wasteland 2

    Interesting if Fargos response is not partially because of the major drama going on in the Codex topic? :lol:
