it's now up on the playstation store... i'll be trying to get my brain back as soon as i get home...

hopefully i see some good news from the playstation blog here in the next couple of hours... i usually have to wait until around 6PM for the playstation store to update... i noticed xbox does much earlier store updates, but playstation does get game updates much sooner... not sure what i was getting at with that ... massacre hasn't posted since late last night, he got his from steam... i guess he must be enjoying it...

it's just a bunch of nerdy speculation... tomorrow we'll know all the facts about the research facility and the reason why you're there... i think my money is on the facility being carved out of an old pre-war nuclear test site... i like the idea of a facility inside the meteor crater in arizona, but i think with it being a national roadside attraction it wouldn't be ideal for putting in a super secret R&D laboratory... i think it's inside a nuclear test area... perhaps even just a few miles south of this location; http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_nuclear_test_site it is after all, just a few clicks SW of the mojave drive-in ... i just found a location NW of las vegas called the nevada test site, where they tested nuclear weapons from the 50's and beyond... this could be the location and ties in the car wreckage as well... perhaps this sinkhole is a bit deep... but then again, fallout takes a creative license from pre-existing landscapes... new vegas isn't exactly like las vegas geographically either...

well, montana hosts the most popular big mountain... crater lake in oregon could be a choice as well since it's also actually a mountain... the giant crater from AZ isn't a mountain at all... just a giant indent in the middle of a desert... it fits the name of "the sink", but i still can't figure out why the facility is called big mountain... it's just a giant dome... and i haven't seen a desert-like environment with the big empty yet... i've seen fake grass and vegetation, but no desert or forest... it's all inside i giant crater formed somehow...

hey, i just traveled to the canyon wreckage, and it looked different to me... or, maybe i forgot what the wreckage looked like before, but it looks different for some reason... i thought it used to be a pile of wreckage, now it kinda looks like a passageway... i don't know anymore... mojave outpost looks the same... field's shack highway looks the same... so, after exploring the car wreckage and the mojave drive-in, it's come to my attention that both locations bare the "goshua graham lives" and "the burned man walks" graffiti... lonesome road is lonesome road, but i recall seeing the same graffiti on the abandoned bunker... but it just doesn't add up, big MT is in montana, and that's a long ways away from the mojave, and the wrong direction from from the car wreckage... unless, big MT refers to this one; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Mazama which is located in oregon, which would be the right direction from the car wreckage, and has the same kind of layout, except this one is filled in with water, crater lake to be exact... but, it's very possible that it was drained to create a super RD lab... because creating the big empty inside an active volcano is just donwright idiotic, and that's also what big MT is, mt. st. helens in montana... using a prehistoric-made crater from a collapsed volcano for the lab makes more sense to me... here's the crater without water; here's the crater in old world blues or maybe it's located somewhere south, which would totally confuse me... but, where else are you going to find a location near vegas like that?? -------------------- what sec, i found one located in arizona... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Crater perhaps?? this one might make the most sense since it's out in the middle of nowhere, and can be seen from space... the big empty surrounded by big empty desert... --------- or maybe it was a man-made bomb-testing site converted into a research and development center... maybe i should shut up and wait for the damn thing to come out on tuesday and find out then...

there's graffiti everywhere in the mojave... there's even DLC graffiti sprinkled around the car wreckage... and i thought i recall hearing that the caravans were stuck at the outpost due to the dangers in the mojave, AND the dangers heading back down the road to LA, which is why that path was closed off with a gate... it would make more sense to clear the canyone wreckage, but i thought you guys were convinced that it was going to be the cresent canyon... isn't that what QD predicted, or did he actually predict the mojave drive-in as an entry point?! you know what, i bet the drive-in is just the starting point for that DLC... the car wreckage could still be the entry point to montana... or maybe that road that goes past the nellis air force base as well... has anyone scouted possible DLC entry points to determine if something has changed?? i might do that here soon after i take a shit and a shower and finish dicking around on the internet...

i say the entrance to lonesome road is the mojave outpost... i recall hearing blurbs about dangerous stuff that way, plus it's a road... although, the canyon is fairly close so perhaps that is an alternate path for those not friends of the NCR ... what about the canyon wreckage though?? i say it's a dead end, just like the car wreckage in the north/east corner of the map... i thought that was going to be the entrance to dead money or possibly zion once i found out it was in utah...

that my friend looks like lonesome road to me...

ditto stoic... i love it now ...

i was gonna post something about this a few days ago but forgot about it... i watched a 20 minute demo showing off the world, mainly las venturas... i have a feeling that it's only going to be a free-roaming multiplayer map as i see no possible way of implementing the single player experience into the world itself... it's an ambitious map though, no doubt about that... it just seems like it's going to be an empty map... @vicey - it's the SA map recreated with the RAGE engine, so all the of the physics feel like GTAIV...

finished reefer madness earlier today... it was another typical mission, but i found the reefer stuff to be at a minimal... your chasing clues to break the enormous distribution ring, but very little time is spent with reefer itself... there were some nice buds to look at though, i would of thought the stuff from back in the day would be some dirt weed, but it looked like dank ganja ...

lol, WTF??

pause the video and the power fist says "saturn" on it with a logo that looks like the planet... lol, and the space pirate looks sweet ... the K9000 looks like a "gun" weapon, but i could of swore i saw a screen that showed it shooting energy beams, which leads me to believe what i was thinking all along... that it's a fully customizable machine gun-style weapon... morbius(sp?) must be the thinking head that went haywire and booby-trapped the place... i liked his quote, "and my uhh, bigger, more atomic versions of these things!!" all while looking at a GIGANTIC radscorpion!! and so let me get this straight, they not only take your brain, but they also take your skin?? how the fuck are you going to be put back together?! i wonder if there's gonna be physical differences in your character upon completion of this add-on... scar across the forehead, mutilated skin?? remember christine from dead money, remember those scars? me thinks they took her brain at some point as well... "SAVE US ALL!!! in the name of science!!... ...please??" ...

YES!!! this looks awesome!!

thumbs up good sir, i haven't seen scruffy's mug in ages ... these do look pretty amazing dup... i can't believe this is the GTA i've been playing for 3 years now... it's amazing how much of a difference the lighting can make... and the color seems to have more contrast in it, compared the grayish tone of the original game... more color brings out these rich textures, similar to the way it brought out 1947 LA in noire...

i downloaded it last week and have yet to play it at all... meh, maybe if i get bored tonight i might check it out...

yup, i'll get it when i get home in a few minutes... not gonna play, but at least the download will be complete... plus i can also look at the trophies that come with old world blues ...

sure it might be a better game, but is it as marketable as LA noire?? noire had been talked about for many many years, max payne hasn't been talked about since that awful movie, and before that, it had been years since anyone had heard the name max payne... i just don't think it's as marketable as LA noire, so i think the sales will struggle a bit...

i've never been in the north vegas sewer system... and there's a handful of mojave locations i haven't been to as well...

i can already return to zion... maybe they are just mentioning that if you have a game save right before the end, you can now back out of the final mission and return to the mojave to play the DLC's if that's where your last saved game is... and man o man was westside a buggy mess for me... i was lucky if i could make it to the pawn store before it froze up... north new vegas wasn't any better... the thorn wasn't too bad but it did lag a bit... i noticed there was a lot of optimizations and fixes for the gommorah too... which is good, i hope they fixed the fire loading issues because there are a lot of times where i go in there and watch the frame-rate drop to 1 frame a second due to the struggle of loading the flames... hopefully that's been addressed, but it seems like most of the gommorah fixes revolve around cachino...

i'm glad they are patching the god-awful performance of north vegas, the thorn and westside... those places would always start to lag and eventually lock up on me... glad to see that they are optimizing those places and cleaning up the bugs there... can anyone explain this one to me?? are we allowed to replay the DLC's again??

i don't think they would mind overlapping titles... maybe not simultaneously, but i can see them spacing a couple of them out 6 months apart... i could see max payne being the spring/summer release and GTAV being the fall/holiday release because if R* knows whats best for them, releasing GTAV during the holiday season could be the smartest move ever... they could sell 8 million copies in that window alone... and spend the next two years supporting it with episodes and extra content... if it's to be though, they are going to have to start teasing it a little with concept art and maybe a screen or two here and there... LA noire is pushing past memory as we speak, and there's nothing on the immediate horizon for R*... making a GTA announcement right now would be a good way to keep their name relevant and in the minds of gamers... with RDR, the great success carried them into the holiday season, but i don't see the same success with LA noire, they're going to need to wet the appetites of gamers soon with something other than max payne... because, i don't really care for max payne anymore, especially a 3rd entry... the first was fun and revolutionary, but now every shooter game follows that template, and the story of payne isn't enough to keep me interested... i am holding out for GTA or agent... R* will be lucky if they even come close to the success of LA noire with max payne... it just isn't much of a household name anymore, he kinda died when mark wahlberg killed him...

imagine that sucker coming at you at the speed of a regular cazador, only to be swatted at and stung at the same time... one swipe to take most of your health, and a poisonous sting to finish you off... yeash...

*stops playing new vegas*

i am interested in learning more about the K-9000... i get this feeling that it's a fully customizable weapon, catered to your own play style... perhaps even interchangeable mods?? dunno, but we'll be finding out in a couple of weeks ... also, here's a list of the bugs that will be addressed in the upcoming patch due out in a couple of days... http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ausir/New_Fallout:_New_Vegas_patch_coming_this_week this is what i was talking about earlier, it scares the shit out of me due to it's total randomness... thank god it's been addressed... also, while browsing the vault, i saw this image in the recent uploads... dear god, i would stop playing new vegas if this ever happened;
