watched the preview on QORE a few days ago... meh, seems like a new approach to the genre, but it's just more zombies, and i've had my fair share of zombie games lately... i don't really wanna play another...

wow, morality choices as well... welcome to the mainstream saints row... me thinks this will actually score in the high 80's-low 90's, which would be a great achievement... like i said a long time ago, if they can borrow a few million GTA fans, they are set...

doesn't matter, i know it's early mission mayhem ... i mean come on, in the first mission you're breaking out of a maximum security prison in the second game... then 5 hours later throwing groupie fans of off a 20 story pavilion, spraying shit on the streets of stillwater, and playing COPS with chainsaws... EDIT: me no have a spikeTV... TV is not worth my time anymore... internet and netflix give me all the shit i need...

i have two remotes... one with dual shock 3(more roughed up, i blame GTAIV) and an original launch controller without the rumble... the latter is the best remote, and when one of them is inactive, it's charging... when one runs out, i make a switch... the only cord you need is a USB-A to B... i like the PS3's universal qualities, like upgrading the hard drive yourself, without voiding the warranty... or using any bluetooth hardware like headsets, keyboards and mice-s(es)... friends of mine have TB drives full of music and movies on theirs... i've been getting more excited about SRIII from that video you posted, knowing full well that it's an early mission... this game is really going to just say "fuck it", and give you obnoxious scenarios right off the bat...

wow, are you kidding me?? that was awesome, even if it was the opening sequence, or one of the first few missions... i saw a ton of improvements in the combat, especially the melee stuff, which looks like picking a style will actually mean something... still no up close driving mechanics, but for only really using the plain pistol, the shooting seemed a little better... but there will always be dumb AI in video games, where the enemy decides to take cover right in front of you... i hope AI never surpasses that or we will have our own "i, robot" on our hands... this is looking better with every new bit of info or gameplay i see... seriously massacre, you HAVE to get this for the PS3... we're gonna play this online... and if it can take 3 players, you can always count on the dup... he's looking forward to this, and he definitely gets down on some online shit...

i have... i am ALWAYS high when i play fallout... even if i have to smoke resin, i am getting high...

ditto... so i'll be high, heading to high road, to take the high road...

- LONESOME ROAD DELAYED - gee, really?? i could of guessed that... but there were some interested things that came from the announcement... fallout new vegas-related items?? more DLC? GOTY? item packs?? also, the first official screen is out ...

personality tapes in OWB?? that i still don't understand, fill me in, i am sure it's something obvious... and yes, now i remember the perk you unlock after dead money... perhaps ED-E's unlocks the same way, or perhaps they are holotapes that automatically update ED-E when you talk to him, similar to what happened to the friends in the sink... EDIT: ohh wait, you're talking about the sink personality holotapes ... now i feel dumb...

dead money upgrades and personality tapes from OWB?? i am not following...

really?? how is that going to work?? what if he isn't around anymore?? i tell you what though, it makes me think that...

...for no one ever enters the ivault, and no one ever leaves... nice security though... fuck yea, we should ask psy to give us a ifallout site or something... even if it's just us three, and the occasional lone wanderer... ha, i was asking for that months ago, lol ...@synch... i've heard of a trick that has worked before... lure the vipers towards the legion/NCR skirmish and kill them down there...... enemies usually respawn where they die... give that a shot... i've tried that trick with the bark scorpions in nipton, they no longer spawn where they can spot me, they're doing their own thing now in the back of the trailer area... and i suggest doing the legion route... however, if you want to mix it up, do what i am thinking about doing next... playing the game normal, yet add to your survival skills instead of medicine for healing... basically in hardcore mode, you have to eat sleep and drink when the meters get low... in normal i do believe you can still use desert salads in the same way as you can in hardcore, only you don't satisfy the non-existent hunger meter... but if you're going for the hardcore trophy, then you have to at least do it once... i had fun playing as a cannibal ... food is not that much of an issue, nor is sleep... it's water that can be the issue... gotta stay stocked, take the "rat pack" perk... it was meant for hardcore mode... but you still need to take the legion route, no matter how you want to do it... i did it as a female, but i would suggest doing it as a male... i wasn't allowed in the arena because i was a baby machine ... but none of those men ever tried to call me that... i am as legendary as the burned man... ---------- got some more photos too... i actually fired up my fallout 3 game because i wanted to see some good 'ol memories... here's my evil black brotha named lucifer and his slave bitch... this is not a picture of omega, but i have snapped a few of his... i just liked how i "positioned" cherry on the bed... if anyone ever recalls, i took a pic of her in another similar photo on the ground (click here)... she lies dead in omega's residence, the tepid sewers, forever looking like his junkie hooker friend... i need to find a way to do that in new vegas, but there aren't any temporary followers... someone tell me i am wrong ?? i can't believe i haven't ever snapped a photo of my good natured savior of the DC wasteland, valentine... well, there she is ...

i only stated that i didn't bother collecting anymore because everything i collect, i have a billion of anyways... my two characters aren't crafters because they didn't invest in survival so there isn't a huge interest in collecting plants... i do grab pinyon nuts when i see them though, they are the rarest... but i have plenty of plants in case i do decide to craft... it's just that i don't see a point in collecting armors and another damn 10mm pistol when i have 50 of them in my locker... i still collect medium armors, cigarettes, some junk and rarer weapons, but i don't grab everything anymore... i have a thousand pre-war hats and shirts to keep my armors forever maintained... i learned how to craft and survive though because of my mexican file, i played that one on hardcore... i'm playing my next game on hardcore, or just invest in survival and live off of plants anyways instead of stimpacks... there's no viper's spawning near harper's shack for me... when i travel there, there are no enemies near me, allowing for fast-travel to and fro... i like how it is tucked away from field of vision... it's only noticeable from a ways away if you're looking for it... i'll sprinkle mines around the area for extra protection if i need to... i fell in love with the interior layout of the place... i find myself always decorating the interiors of my houses... novac hotel is cluttered full of stuff on my bones file, and that nipton house is loaded on delilah's as well... i can foresee harper's shack being cluttered as well ... i have explored with delilah since finishing old world blues, but i don't think i've traveled to any of the usual raiding party spawn spots... i ran through a couple of vaults that i hadn't finished up on her file... if i got time tonight, i will try out those spawn spots and see if NCR hit squads are tougher than legion ones... my guess is no ... even though delilah is enemies with the NCR, she hasn't exactly gone to villages and murdered them all... she's taken out patrols and some of the radio camps, but hasn't wiped out camp golf or anything like that... i have contemplated saving that insane action for this boogeyman-style character i have thought about creating, perhaps after my next file... he's not in the business of doing business, he/she'll be in the killing humanity business ... my mexican knows about the wild wasteland, but i never took that trait with my other characters... my next one will have it though ...

i was running into legion raids on the left side of the map, the nipton rest stop comes to mind... the worst encounter for me was in front of charlie's outpost as i was coming down from harper's shack... TWO legion parties spawned... usually the NCR and legion fight it out at this location for me but this time it was just two legion parties... but i don't understand why they are EVERYWHERE now... you might enjoy it synch, but i don't need anymore junk to collect... i am overstocked with supplies for both characters... i am at the point where i only collect a few things nowadays, and i would rather not have to kill a bunch of legion guys everywhere i go... harper's shack seems like a nice place to call home... and it's near novac, where i can get a full rest in case i need it because i do believe i am going to play my next file on hardcore... but the shack's got all the amenities a survivalist would need, except a water source... if you're looking for another place to call home, check out the houses in nipton... some of them have what you need, some have traps, and one of them has the workbench and reloading bench... and there's a campfire by the trailers... delilah lives in the one closest to the mojave drive-in... lol, the entrance to old world blues is literally 300 yards from her house ...

you ain't kiddin' about the legion hit squads, synch... i was fast traveling all over the map, looking for suitable housing for my next character... found it in harper's shack... great central location, hidden in the mountains, workbench, reloading bench, campfire, plenty of storage, and protected by deathclaws from dead wind cavern to the south, which should keep the wanderers and hit squads away... hopefully they don't start wandering closer to the shack... but man, everywhere i went with bones, i was ambushed by legion hit squads... and correct me if i am wrong, but it seems like some locations have reset... i was able to re-collect star bottle caps from locations i know i've went thru... strange...

bones has over 50K, and delilah has nearly the same... however, i've exhausted all the trading places for caps with fully repaired weapons thanks to the free weapon repair kits from dead money... no one's inventory is changing anymore though... hopefully the caps reset but the items for sale never do anymore... i get lucky if one of them re-adds the ammo i always buy for each character... that vendor in old world blues has yet to add more caps for trade... i've spent a major chunk of my caps on implants... i would probably have over 100K with both characters if i didn't buy a bunch of those... i am really liking the crouch speed implant from OWB... i run around crouched a hell of a lot in new vegas, it's nice to finally do it a little faster... now it doesn't take nearly as long to get around enemy territory like it used to... nice pic massacre, now was that so hard?? ...

fuck that, i want area 51 DLC for new vegas...

i am going into honest hearts with my caravan pack from the pre-order ... this character is going to have a love for caravan work, which won't become apparent until he receives his care package from the doc that had his old gear, telling him he was not only a courier, but a hired caravan hand as well... those fools at the prison don't know what's coming their way once he finds out they attack caravans heading north... him and cass are going to be best friends... happy trails and crimson caravans are going to love having him work for them... he's going to relish in the idea of being a runner for everyone since he loves walking the mojave... i think passing by during the daytime would be the only way to miss out on old world blues early... perhaps lonesome road can stash a key to the entrance somewhere else in the mojave to prevent you from entering early on... put the key at that ranch of his... so when i pass by and get it, i could make a mental note of it and decide to head back to the canyon wreckage another time, when i have time...

my next character is going to be independent... bones is pro-NCR, delilah is a devoted legionnaire, and sanchez pledged his allegiance to the man with all the cards and caps, mr. house... not sure how i feel about wearing the outfit as a regular though... plus, something tells me lonesome road is going to be the hardest DLC in the game, which would put off finishing it until much later in my journey... i kind of wonder how i am going to get swept away to big MT though, i know i'll be passing by at some point, and if it's in the evening, there's a chance i could end up in the crater a lot sooner than i anticipate... because come on, how i am i not going to tinker with that satellite?! honest hearts will be approached as a job for extra caps early on... and dead money, i think my character will be leery of venturing there because of the eerie feeling of a trap, and from the stuff he's heard about from the big empty... he'll be able to save that one for later... old world blues, it's kind of hard to picture how i get there next time... and lonesome road, hearing about this other courier and getting the broadcast early on would make going to the divide very alluring, especially early in the game... unfortunately, there's going to have to be something to keep me away from it... not sure what that could be, perhaps they should replace the coyotes with deathclaws ... that'll keep me away for awhile ... ...or perhaps they allow you to come and go as you please, just like point lookout... which would make me go there early on, only to turn back once giant legendary cazaclaws came after me ... hell, on my evil dead "ash" file from fallout 3 (where i took the book of the dead and journeyed across the DC wasteland to destroy it), he was stomping around point lookout at level 8... if i have the option of coming and going, i could find myself in a similar situation...

if this picture is anything to go by, he'll have his own hair that might perhaps get added to the list of hairs available at your barber... or it'll just be his and his alone... the one thing i like about the outfit is the possibility of an interchangeable cape... something i could use to look like a part of one of the major factions, and hopefully at only the cost of maybe 8 lbs... the stupid NCR costumes weight nearly 30 lbs. and the legion ones aren't all that light either... i stopped carrying the NCR one for delilah because i would rather have that 30 lbs. of inventory space for scavenging...

... i had assumed they were well into the development since old world blues was delayed for a while, i just didn't realize they were ready to roll it out... i hope they are working on a stability patch for the PS3 though, old world blues pretty much comes to a crashing frame rate freeze when scaving outdoors about once an hour... this is awesome news!! looks like i will be starting my 4th and final character next month then perhaps...

mmmhhhmmm, i'd like to know more about this "slight" mishap... just started my second playthrough by the way ... it's time for delilah to tear shit up in the crater... yea, i mentioned that ... in my second playthrough, i picked up on a few pieces of the story... but it still left open more questions... what was this experiment?? did they mean to remove the mountain top?? what was the goal of the experiment?? was this pre-war?? i wonder if hopeville has the answers... something tells me it's tied into the planetary experiments like controlling the weather... and since hopeville is one of those disaster towns nearby, perhaps they know more about it... or perhaps that "other" courier knows something about it...

yup, i speeched him the first time i beat the game... we solved things diplomatically, just like bones solves most of the issues in the mojave and beyond... seems like i speeched my way through the madre as well..

sorry, my TV is only 720 ... hence the jagged edges in all pics... i don't really know what my camera settings are, but i do know i set it up to take the absolute biggest photo i could, including the DPI... i will check out the jail cells, i figured i was missing something in there... the zap glove and proton axe worked the best against the roboscrotums for me... i found the K9000 to be ineffective compared to other heavy guns, except when spraying a bunch of nightstalkers with bullets... the scope is a nice touch though... my next character is going to be a chem junkie... i am popping all sorts of chems next time, i want to play the game all buzzed up... he's going to be a black neutral character so, i think having a drug problem will fit perfectly ... and delilah is totally a whore... she has both the perks that flirt with both sexes, and she's slept with pretty much everyone there is to sleep with, including benny before she killed him ... in OWB alone, she flirted with dr. dala, the two light switches, and even her own brain!!

yea, FIDO isn't really worth it, considering how rare .44 ammo is compared to .357... sure i have a FIDO, but i don't use it... i don't even really use the K9000 anyways... for bones, he only needs christine's sniper rifle (yea, i found all of her stuff in the big empty) and the riot shotgun... throw in the silenced .45 and probably the chainsaw and that's all he needs... he doesn't even really use the all-american anymore either... with delilah, all i ever need is the ballistic fist and her trusty, always dependable, modded holorifle... nothing else matters, except for hording purposes of course ... don't you have to go into the basement of X-13 to create battle brew?? i'll be heading down there sometime in the near future... like i said, i ALWAYS leave something behind to finish up for when i return... i want to have a reason to return, besides all of the stuff i can do in the sink ... i can already remember where i missed a few blue force fields... one was in the facility that cut up christine when she was here... i think there was jail cells back there, but i didn't have the modification at the time... thanks for reminding me about that, i will hit it up on way back to the sink ... yea, i would imagine you could conjure up some epic screens massacre, sounds like you have a ton of mods installed too... and yes, i do use a digital camera to take a screenshot of my HDTV... the HDTV is the key to having good pictures... i usually take about a half-dozen shots to make sure i have enough in case some of them don't turn out... and i take the picture from the left side of the TV, angled toward what i want to take a picture of, and i turned the HUD opacity to 0% to allow for more of the photo to emerge... if you notice in the two i just posted, there's a slight glare on the left side of the image barely popping in... that's where the giant glare is... but since i am taking the photo from the left, i can keep the flash away from the action... that damn legenday bloatfly spotted me almost immediately... thankfully, he never left the big opening so i was able to pop in and out from behind some rocks... i am a good sneaker, but for some reason in big MT, and to an extent zion, enemies spot me more often than they used to... if their back is turned i always sneak up on them, but it seems like their field of vision is much deeper than it used to be... don't get me wrong, i am great a sneak criticals, but the last two add-ons have cut into that percentage a bit...
