Another game for children.
I love this graphic style more than photreal. And what's the deal with "game for children"?

In any case, the point is that original Fallout devs are in Interplay working on the MMO and they sold the IP when their finances went south, as we see commonly in the game development industry.
But, near as …
I have no idea what game you played, but it wasn't the Fallout 3 I played, that's for sure.
Incidentally, Interplay did not create Fallout, they merely published it. The creators were Black Isle, where most of the members went on to form Obsidian …
See, what I most love about the Fallout games is that while the world may be a depressing and dangerous place after the bombs fell, the player's actions have meaning, and if you play a good guy and even sometimes when not) the world is a better pla…
Ah, Dark Sun halflings. Primitiva cannibals, yes. But primitive cannibals riding dinosaurs.
As for elves, I always was fond of the elves of the homegrown world of a friend of mine. A demon needed a warrior race as his servants, and brought them i…
Stereotypes don't come out of nowhere. I can already hear some of you sputter, but bear with me. Studies of very small children (i.e. without significant cultural imprinting) have borne out that boys tend toward toys with moving parts, wheel, and t…

I played the crap out of Fallout and Fallout 2. Gods, but did I ever. Found the crashed UFO (velvet Elvis picture and all), got the car. They were excellent games, and Black Isle was an excellent studio. Interplay was not an excellent publisher, bu…
To the reasonable observer it must. But that seems like standard procedure these days. Europe is only just now getting the Playstation 3's movie service, for example. Games are commonly released between a few months and a year later here - if at al…
Sending packages back and forth between the US and Europe is, these days, trivially easy. I can't vouch for Asia, Africa or South America, but Europe, at least, is easy, and not hugely expensive - at least it hasn't been the innumerable times I've s…

300 people (12% of a <2000 person pool)
Um. 12% of 2000 is 240 people. But you do put a finger on the pulse here - the sample size seems curiously low for the kind of extrapolation going on, here.
To some people, everything should be free, I guess. Never mind that that $15/mo pays for regular, pretty cool upgrades of the game, which introduce new, long-sought-after features. And mind you, you don't pay a penny for those updates themselves, li…

Also, most games, cater to the young male audience (young being anywhere from 15-35) and that audience likes, fictional, violence so a non-violent MMO would not cater to the majority of the audience. Possibly would it …
Being fat is not funny.
Being fat and dressing up as a Spartan from 300 is funny!
There's lots of costumes an overweight man with a little self-awareness could pull off. A Spartan is not one of them, and just like a (hairy, skeevy-looking) man d…

Glad you said that, and not me, buddy. ;-D
But you have a point. It goes both ways. Some people, offered anonymity, become, as Gabe of Penny Arcade puts it, 'utter f***wads…
