You know, sleeping fixes the problem for free instead of wasting stims for crippling injuries.
Hell, loading screens have excellent tips for first-timers.
Yeah, I know. That's if I can find a free bed, though.
Vaults always have quarters for the residents, and most camps (hostile or otherwise) usually have a dirty mattress or just a sheet of cardboard to sleep on.

Took a break.
Fucking dogs crippled my left arm en route. Gonna have to backtrack and find a stimpak, or something.
Vault 106 seemed like a good place to stop at.

I can't wait until Verb first encounters our reptilian friends that roam the wasteland
I can't wait until he encounters anything in general.
Personally, I want to see his reaction when he's exploring a dark metro tunnel and he encounters our feral "friends."
I can't wait for him to go to
That's piss easy though. Unless you mean the experiments.
I want to see 112, to be honest. I wonder hoe he'll do that one.
Whoa whoa, hold up now. Gary.

^ that
besides, 1 fps is basically a picture that occasionally moves
Ever play Tetris?
Tetris ain't 1fps, otherwise the speed-up mechanics wouldn't work in the later stages of the game. Even the classic Space Invaders doesn't run at 1. OT, 30 fps is fine, though if there's an option for 60fps with no problems I'd gladly have that over 30.

Didn't really think about jobs. Thought being a farmer wouldn't be too bad, and space was always interesting to me.
Now I'm in a Geology degree, and analysing sedimentary features of Mars or rocks from elsewhere is a perfectly viable choice for me (Not that I've put too much thought into it, tbf).

Lets discuss the most annoying song on the fucking GNR.
I actually like that song. Aa for Fallout 4, if it's in the trailer, it's in the game. Soooo...

"Into each life, some tears must fall
But someday the sun will shine..."The music in Fallout 3 was outstanding. Certainly beats most of the country-western shit on FNV. Spoiler InB4 Johnny Guitar

Just don't listen to the radio too long.
The loops get old after a while. Also! Just a neat tip for you Verb. If you're sneaking with your radio active, you're less effective at sneaking, obviously, because it's a radio. Wait... I know it sounds like common sense for the real world, but having the radio on lowered sneaking? I thought that only applied to the light because the loading screens mention it so often. Shit. I've been playing that game for a long ass time and never noticed that.

Seems they've released an edition between standard and pip boy. Probably going to trade my preorder for the standard edition for this
http://www.gamestop.com/product/strategy-guides/fallout-4-ultimate-vault-dwellers-guide-bundle/126341
I always thought it was odd that they have a basic standard edition and then only a very limited amount of POSSIBLY THE BEST EDITION KNOWN TO MAN. At least now people (including me maybe if this came to the UK) can get the other cool stuff the special edition offers, without the cost and some of the specials.

Metro does a good job. Makes it bleak and has an alternative view on an apocalypse rather than an American Fallout or MadMax-type deserts. In the books it adds a lot more background into it. Rumours fly around of how other underground railway networks survived, how the pre-apocalyptic leaders survived in the tunnels of "Metro 2" below them (some say the tunnels are even next to the normal ones), the near-mythical bunker of D6 and what's inside, how a tank crew survived in their tank in the less irradiated rural areas for a few years, etc, etc. This all adds to the atmosphere that these people desperately hope such small and insignificant things in their new world where barely anyone is expected to live past 40-50, need geiger counters to safely eat any fish, and death is the currency. But there's also the entertainment, albeit mostly just prostitution, there's also "The Bolshoi", from a famous theatre above ground, to an artistic (or money grabbing, depending how you see it) show held at the station there. EDIT: Also has it's touch of odd, like most Apocalyptic setting seem to have. Anyone who scavenges outside doesn't look at the stars upon the Kremlin, as it "captures" them and they end up walking into it and never returning. The bio-weapons used in that area rendered it undamaged in the blast, but no-one can venture there and there's a boiling mass of...goo... in the Metro tunnels below it. Don't get me started on "Homo Novus" and the fucking Librarians...

I hardly see a point for them, currently. It's a struggle to drive them outside of the main cities in the UK as the charging points are few and far between. E.g. To get from London to Glasgow requires careful planning, including trips into cities along the way to get more power. Doing so takes longer, and makes travel time more dependent on the congestion at the time. While they don't produce any fumes themselves, the source of their power still comes from a majority of fossil fuels, it's just another step up (which actually, involves more waste as much of our generated electricity is lost during transmission which essentially nullifies its "environmental" feature). I guess having a vehicle that is virtually run on 20% renewable energy is better than one with none, but you can't exactly claim they're great for the environment juuuuust yet. Great for the environmental city-slicker, but not much else. At least, until we switch to renewable energy sources in general which I don't foresee within this century (though Nuclear power should be on the uptake and more power points available making them less of a transportation niche).

Courtesy of Booger. It also has a mobile-friendly site! Good news, everyone! Plug.DJ has returned, complete with your old accounts, playlists and music! Even the old room ran by TBlocks is still here.* * It can be run on mobile by requesting the desktop site, and some patience with the UI incompatiblities... at least on Android. Apparently it works on Iphones too, but cannot confirm. Go google it.
I'm also compiling user's rooms, both in hopes of saving thread spam (Desty...) and showing what rooms are populated apart from the "Official" ones. You are at the whim of the room's Admins who may or may not want you there for whatever reason and will likely be populated with people outside Sep7, if you're a tad xenophobic about that sorta thing. Extra roomsDesty's room - https://plug.dj/aoki
And finally on a related note, this should still work for plug.DJ to migrate playlists to Dubtrack; "I lost my playlists and all my music on PlugDJ! I can't be arsed to find them all again and put them on Dubtrack! ;_;". Well, someone was nice enough to make a step-by-step guide to do all that whilst saving you time! Follow the instructions here, and away you go! Should take 5-10 minutes.Thread Disclaimer This thread will occasionally bumped to i) Garner some of you lot into a music room and ii) Avert the 6-month autolock.
I'd prefer this not to be pinned as it can return to the frontpage whenever someome bumps it for activity.

Any of the TU forge maps on the Living Dead playlist.
Most blocked off the regular camping spots so the gameplay sucked, or to quote Arby "Look like they were alligned with somebody's ass", and coupling it with the shitty filters that Zombie ghosts put on made the playlist unplayable.
Why 343 added that gamemode and then fucked over the maps is anybody's guess.

My main concern is the censorship ma-bobby.
In your example it's perfectly reasonable to not be a cunt because someone's this or that, whether or not you have the freedom of speech to say it.
The problem lies when people try to give valid criticism, and when they can't (or simply won't) answer to it, they can claim it's insensitive or offensive and block off reasonable discourse about the topic simply because it entails some controversial topic.
E.g. I used to know nothing regarding trans people, how or why they felt that way, methods of going about changing, etc, etc until around last year (mostly because of this place). But I can't just ask a question about in case I offend someone because it might have something behind it that may offend someone.
I'd like to understand at the cost of a few slip-ups and offending some people so I can get a good view on the topic and discuss it like most want to and maybe even accept it, rather than remaining in the dark, not discussing it and blindly accepting by faith just to keep people happy. If someone wants honest discussion, you don't go into it with no facts whatsoever and blurt out whatever some biased party (on either side) has said.
Well, I kinda tried to cover that in the main post, but I guess I didn't do a good job at addressing that - only talking about the inverse.
Yeah, I believe it's pretty stupid to shut down any discourse about a person just because it may or may not be offensive to them. The type of people who scream "educate yourself" and then offer no solution piss me off as much as the ignorant type who refuse to learn anything new on the subject.
But the thing is - it has to be a relevant question. If you're legitimately asking questions or trying to clear up things about a trans person, then that's fine, but if you're getting upset at people for shutting you down when you ask why it's not okay for you to call a trans person slurs and purposefully misgender them - and refuse to listen to the reasons why - then that's very different.
Oh that's perfectly fair enough. Thanks for clarity on this, for a bit there I was reading it as "unless you're X, you can't discuss it or ask questions", and that I refuse to abide by.

Fallout 3.
Couldn't hack the whole RPG elements until I gave it a break and tried again later.
Now it's my favourite series.

Usually I get to a point where I've typed up my response and then thought "no, this is shit" so I don't bother posting it.
On the bright side it's good to see that you can deconstruct your own point of view and argue against it, but it doesn't make it any less disheartening.

If you only do the main questline and all the main DLC questlines, it won't take very long, maybe on par with HL2 if a little longer. On the other hand, doing all the side quests takes an awful long time, and most aren't even discoverable unless you go out of your way to find them. The main sidequests are found along the main questline if you talk to the right people or happen across a settlement on the way to a quest marker, so I'd recommend doing 8-9 out of the first ones you come across. One warning, beware of wandering around too early and avoiding the main quests the first time, like I did. Ended up skipping 2 main quests by accident, and that will majorly shorten your overall game time. I'll spoiler any specific advice so you can choose to read at will. GNR quest related advice - If you find some numbers on any of the museum exhibit terminals, DON'T RANDOMLY PRESS THEM OR IT LOCKS YOU OUT OF A SIDEQUEST THAT REWARDS (arguably) THE BEST GUN IN THE GAME. It does require you to either be good at maths and spot patterns, or do it the lazy way and Fallout.Wiki it.
