I had similar problems when I installed GTA4 for the pc. I had to register for 3 different accounts I think. Really annoying :/

If I don't forget, like last time I'll be there!

Also: time for cat

I got 5 quake live invites to give away. PM me your email address if you want one.

The thing about the voice acting in Fallout 3 compared to that of GTA4 is that every voice actor in GTA only has one role. In fallout 3 it's one voice actor for at least 3 roles. This is is not true for (most of) the main quest characters. Which makes it all the more grating to me, since you're more on side quests than on the main quest thus hearing the same voices over and over again. This doesn't help with the suspension of disbelief. I guess they spent most of their voice acting budget on Ron Perlman, Malcolm McDowell and Liam Neeson.

I just finished it. Some random observations: I don't really like the interface. The pipboy is ok, but somehow it's not exactly user friendly. The voice acting is rather bad. 6 voice actors for all the NPC's you meet isn't something I expected from such a big budget title. I guess I'm spoiled by GTA4 in that regard. Weapons and armor degrade waaaaayu to fast :/ Why can't I repair my gun with scrap metal or other objects found in the wasteland? This goes double for the custom guns, why can't I use the parts I used to make the gun with to repair my gun with? why is everything so crammed close together? I think the only thing to scale is the mall. everything else feels so crammed together. Some random things I found rather questionable in the story: How is it that I can meet ghouls who say they are over 200 years old? Ghouls are apparently sterile. how do you get new ghouls? Super mutants are apparently sterile. how do you get new super mutants? How is it that I can open random vault doors without problem and yet find dead skeletons right in front of them from people trying to get in? I enjoyed the game, but it's got so many rough edges it makes me a bit sad. Especially regarding the timeline. So many things just don't fit.

You should totally invite them for a idle thumbs UK podcast extravaganza.

Well it's not youtube, but vimeo, does that count too? http://vimeo.com/2809991

Hey Norfolk, what's with the name change?

It was awesome as usual! I totally love the take-outs at the end of the podcast

It's still in a 'closed' beta. What's your quakelive name? I'll add you. (I'm ysbreker, obviously)

I caved in and made a twitter account. http://www.twitter.com/ysbreker

Obligatory fantastic contraption and 'Die madagascar die Pandemic 2' links.

There is one mansion level. The one where it blows up, remember?

speaking of management games last weekend I bought Rollercoaster tycoon 3 deluxe. I'm having lots of fun building cool swimming pools

when was this supposed to start?

Since my mom is having her 61st birthday I doubt that I can make it Wednesday, but who knows what will happen?

o.O
