I just got done beating Moethership Zeta or whatever its called for Fallout 3. I am trying to squeeze every last second of enjoyment out of that game. I am also still playing Just Cause 2 which is pretty sweet.

[daruckis]

nice, dude. i was the same way with fallout. i left nary a stone unturned.

It's my second play through and I already beat all the quests, and I did all the DLC except the Anchorage Alaska one which I am currently working on. I wish they would release more DLC, I would buy every single one. Fallout and Oblivion gave me more play time than all my other games combined.

Any good xbox games coming out in the near future?
I havn't seen anything good for a while
I bought Dragons Age:Origins but only played it for like 30 minutes. Not really that into it, i'm not sure why everyone loves it so much. Maybe I just havn't played it enough.

Red Dead Redemption looks pretty awesome. Considering picking it up next week. Also, the new UFC is going to kick serious ass.

[sgreger1]

I got the UFC demo and I found it to be a terrible game. then again that's not really my kinda game. I havn't checked out red dead redemption yet, it's definitely getting a lot of hype though.

[daruckis]

red dead is rumored to have the largest world in a rockstar game to date.

dude i played the last ufc game and i hated it. it sucked so much. i rented it for 5 days, played it for about 2 hours and took it back.

alan wake is going to pretty sweet too. its set up like a suspenseful tv show, a la lost or the x files. its about a writer taking a vacation in this place where at night the townsfolk turn into like resident evil 4 and 5 type creatures. and you have to use light on them or something. i dunno theres some promotional videos i havent watched yet but my bud at work said theyre sweet. www.brightfalls.com is the site with the videos.

So playing fallout 3 has finaly paid off for me! Through extensive (excessive would be a better word) playing of fallout 3 I have finaly come up with an analogy that can embodie the entire theory of quantum mechanics. True story bro. Check this out:

It is hard for one to wrap their minds around the fact that in the quantum world, everything exists only as potential. For example an electron may spin left or right, but untill we observe it, it is technically spinning in both directions at once. Yet once observed, it will always spin in the same way as when we initially observed it (so if we observed it spinning right, it will continue spinning to the right forever now).

This is a hard concept to wrap your brain around, unless you are an RPG fan that is. See, quantum mechanics works the same way as the loot system in any rpg, follow my logic here.

If I go to a crate or a fallen opponent, I have the ability to loot whatever items are in the container/body. The game is programmed in a way that each container in the game will randomly generate it's contents based on a pretedermined set of items. If I open a container I might get wonder glue, a pistol, or perhaps a nuke cola, it could potentially be any of the items involved in the game. This is all done randomly so that human programmers don't need to manually fill each of the thousands of containers in the massive game. So when i open a container, it could potentially be any item, but it is not untill I open the container that the game decides what is in it. I open it, and observe there is .556 ammo and a stimpack. Now that I have opened it/observed it, that container will always contain these items no matter how many times I open it to look inside.

And that my friends, is how I solved quantum mechanics with fallout 3. I told my mother for years that videogames would be of some benefit, and now I can prove it

But what if you open a container and find Schrödinger's cat? Will it be alive or dead? LOL

You fool! Everyone knows schrodingers cat doesn't come in Fallout 3. You have to pay them 800 microsoft points for that DLC, and if you prefer, for 1,000 points you can get the dead and live version of the cat bundled together.

Well, I was never a huge gamer - always loved Starcrft, mind. Being a long time mac user (like 25 years long time) I never really got into many games simply because they weren't available. I just recenly finalized my divorce with Apple, though, and bought my first Windows PC ever. Actually, I bought a crapton of parts and built one. Just the same, with a snazzy new Radeon 5770 and Core i5 this thing kills at gaming, and for a third the price I'd have paid Apple for a steaming pile of deprecated crap.

My lover's quarrel with Apple notwithstanding, I've been stocking up on tons of games I've been missing out on over the years, and with my new 9-5 job, finally (after a bloody decade almost) having left academic research and the neverending workload that goes with it, I actually have some free time to play. My game at the moment is Mass Effect, which kicks ass in so many great and amazing ways it's unbelievable. I'm totally looking forward to picking up Mass Effect 2 now - it's such an engaging and eminently playable game. I've also taken a liking to Bioshock, which is also very, very cool. Gonna have to nab the sequel of that one as well.

Of course, I've already got my mitts on the Starcraft 2 Beta - that's going to be the game of the next decade, I reckon. Blizzard can keep their high-fantasy rubbish - who cares about romping around Azeroth on a translucent Celestial Steed when there's massive RTS landwar to be had!

i have been glued to my tube playing battlefield bad company 2 . Such an awesome game. I love blowing the shit out of stuff and screaming "AMERICAN F&CK YEAH, GONNA SAVE THE MOTHER F&CKING DAY!"

Zero's back? Zero and Chad in the same week. Wow, now if X would come back and stay, this forum will be whole again! Never got to tell you Zero, but you're handbaking video saved me with los.

Back on topic, playing God Of War 3, freaking EPIC!

Yah i'm no into MMORPGS either, I love RTS's of every variety. Starcraft was like the Counterstrike of RTS's, and the new one is sure to be epic. I abandoned PC gaming years ago though as it's too expensive to constantly upgrade my computer to handle the cool new games, plus I have a laptop.

Mass Effect 1 was epic, mass effect two is exactly the same but better in some way, it's just that it was so short. I mena the first one was HUGE, but the seocnd one only took me a day or two to beat, and that included all of the side missions. Not impressed.

Bioshock 2 is eaxclty like bioshock 1, just you play as a big daddy, i bought it and still only played the first few levels.

Has anyone played Dragons Age origins? It is hailed as this epic RPG but the graphics suck, it's 3rd person, and it's so glitchy I thought my game of the year edition was really the beta version. Other than that it's slowly growing on me. After just getting done beating oblivion and fallout 3 again, I don't see how anything could ever compare.
