Then I'll find a way to bite her before she bites me.

Good luck, she's behind seven proxies!

Wait that doesn't apply maybe caffeine isn't the same thing as sleep my goodness.

Blackjack could kill you with a stare.

Besides, if we're going to throw summoner powers into this, I summon Sergei!

YOU FUCKING HERETIC

[Kippershy]

Heretic? How so?

edit: Oh, I suppose Sergei looks like an inquisitor or something?

I suppose it's already been done but I'm bored so fuck it.

People, what's your typical play-style in the Fallout games ?


Myself, it depend on the particular Fallout game.


Fallout 1 & 2 : Hot Blooded + Gifted + Action Boy (x2) + that perks that reduce the AP cost of ranged attack by one point ; with "Small Arms", "Science" and "Speech" as tagged skills ; and with 10 in agility, 8 in intelligence, and the rest going toward perception and strength.

Lots of action points, High Damage Per Turn and Damage Threshold, and a focus on being able to not have to use that if there's an alternate way (diplomacy, lockpick, repair, etc...).

Good karma playthrough. Never was able to play like an asshole.


Fallout Tactics : Hot Blooded + Gifted + Action Boy (x2) + that perks that reduce the AP cost of ranged attack by one point ; with "Small Arms", "Heavy Weapon" and "Energy Weapon" as tagged skills ; and with 10 in agility, 6 or 7 in perception, and the rest going toward strength.

Focused on being a walking tank. I let the rest of my team take of other occupations (only humans, as they are the only one able to wear power armor) :

- Farsight : Lockpick / Sniping / Stealth
- Stitch : Medic / Barter
- Jo : Repair / Pack mule
- Brian : Traps / Stealth
- Trevor : Throwing / Heavy Weapons ('cause he's strong enough to use a .50 cal) / Pack mule

At the end of the game, everyone in my team has a power armor, at least 130% in energy weapons (150% for me) and we all use laser rifle : less powerful than plasma rifle shot-for-shot, but far better range, precision and DPS.

Nothing stand in our ways. Especially during the last mission were half of my team is equipped with pulse rifles.


Fallout 3 & NV : Still a focus on inflicting the most damage possible, while having a high damage resistance (heavy armors) and having the capability to turn everyone to my side through speech checks.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Yeah, I think my playstyle can be summarized as "Try to convince others not to shoot you, but if you can't, summon Hell on them".

[Harmony Ltd.]

It works now.

Also, today on The Music Show :


Today, something special to celebrate the fact I fucking love MSI and just pre-ordered their next album...

You know the deal by now, so here's the song :

So, how I see it :

Spoiler:

[Frost]

Don't play dumb with me, Kipper. Your little bear friend is a dead man.


@Fallout:

I typically play stealthy, and make heavy use of high-end light/medium armor and shotguns/assault rifles, in addition to custom-crafted and unique weapons.

Case in point, my current Fo3 go-to's are the Shishkebab, Terrible Shotgun, "Utra" 10mm SMG, and A3-21's Plasma Rifle

Side-note: Dart Gun + Terrible Shotgun + high Small Guns & Sneak= Deathclaw packs and Super Mutant Behemoths are laughably easy foes.

[Ironmonger]

I play as a heavy infantry class that alternates between shotguns and rifles. Basically I shoot anyone who looks at me funny.

Well, my paper is handed in. Professor is going to either love it or hate it, I think - this is what happens when you don't provide a topic, professors! Students write at length about Transmetropolitan because it's been occupying their mind like a recent college graduate on Wall Steet. Managed to cut down quotes until there was only one instance of the word "fuck" at least. And it's relevant to the class, damn it; surveillance in fiction was something we dealt with, and we even discussed modern and sci-fi fictional interpretations of espionage fiction. I actually considered writing up a short story for it instead, too, but decided I'm not hack-savvy enough (and could not become so in time) to make it work. Oh well. Last time I did something like this I got an A, so... fingers crossed!

Now, all that's left is checking up on how my graphic novel is coming along (I wrote it; a classmate is doing the art, bless her), perform postprocessing on it to make background colors, and then finals season will be over! I'm gonna be able to construct a fort out of my boxes of Pepsi Max by the end of next semester at this rate.

@Fallouting
My most recent play was a no guns, only explosives and melee weapons runthrough of Fallout 3, with lockpicking and science tagged and leveling sneak. That's right, a P-21 run. And yes, that means I was on Med-X as constantly as possible. Using a modified version of Wanderers mod, with vastly increased damage but reduced accuracy on crappy guns/low skill; also made the NPCs use bullets for their guns (more proof of concept than anything, think I talked about this earlier) but gave them reasonable stores of ammo to compensate (must remember to give BoS even more... balancing this would be much easier in NV, could probably just make an NPC-only ammo type to give them plenty of without rewarding the player with two hundred rounds of 5mm for headshotting a minigunner early on in a fight). It was going well, but then the game got glitchy and started crashing every time I used a door. Might work now, since I restarted the computer; might need to look more in-depth. Anyway, yeah, that's my most recent style. 'Tis flippin' hard, even with a huge buggeroff sword I took off a Pit Dog at level one. Bringing swords to gunfights is a poor plan, and grenades are expensive and rare. Mines are where it's at, though. Dead useful, mines.

@Harmony
Yeah, that could work. Maybe alternatively that scene in Flank with the fight on the dance floor, with the DJ ponies pumping it up? (I don't think I'm imagining that)

[Harmony Ltd.]

Well, I dunno why ( ) but I think the combat on the Dance Floor would be more appropriately set up to something like this :

[Harmony Ltd.]

Or at least it MUST be something Daft Punk.

[Guest]

@Harmony
I never saw Tron Legacy :( but Daft Punk reminded me that I like electronic music and that reminded me of Ulver, so I listened to "Shadows of the Sun" and it was beautiful. And... I really need to sleep now. But yes, Daft Punk or perhaps The Prodigy would be entirely appropriate for that scene; I leave it up to those with knowledge of the dance music scene to choose, since I am not at all familiar with it though I must admit that I can enjoy it. Very energetic.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Well, I was suggesting Daft Punk because the description BlackJack make of the mixer is totally a ponified form of them.


If you want a Prodigy song, there's always the obvious one :

A picture of my folder isn't posting R34 properly. I don't see the issue.
But if you're sure, then I won't argue. I just don't see the issue.

I think it's 'cos the images themselves were visible in preview form; it's not so much R34 as just explicit imagery, if that makes sense (for instance, I could see Dash happily getting it on with some tentacles). Setting the view mode to "details" would alleviate the issue, if cause for comparing the sizes of porncaches comes up again.

Yep. This is exactly what I was going to say. Thank you, OAC.

You guys seem to use the ellipsis a lot.

This is exactly what I was listening to during this part. It's all there for it, too. The club scene, the DJs (mixers), the total beatdown...song's perfect for it.

Strangely, I have that exact same picture saved on my HDD, but to insult people on /g/. ha.

Spoony is reviewing FFXIII.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Is that going to be another instance of shooting a man when he's down, or is there going to be a real added value to that review ?

[Harmony Ltd.]

In tonight's edition of The Music Game :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Il58Ln4cI

The rules are the same as always : Find a scene or a theme in FoE, PH, or any FoE side-story of your choice this music could fit as an image of, a theme for or a soundtrack to.

So, without further ado, time to use your... Imagination !

It has been a while since I read Pink Eyes, so this could be totally off.

Nah, it was far too "epilogue-y" to be a eulogy.

Dang...I'm racking my brain on this one...

[Harmony Ltd.]

It's been a long time since I read Puppy Smiles, too...

I can't say.

Any other ideas, people ?

IIRC, the epilogue of PE was an eulogy of sorts.

I've got troubled thoughts and the self esteem to match... what a catch... what a catch.

Well, it's not "kicking someone while he's down" if the thing that's bashed is obviously not a good thing, but somehow loved by hordes of fans.

For example, I probably don't need to tell you about how Chatoyance exhibits many symptoms of psychopathy but is loved by far too many people who buy into his/her bullshit.

Same thing here.
