Right, but they became generic white knights who do no harm. That's not really fantastic writing. "Steel be with you." That still makes me cringe, and Lyons' BoS was the first BoS I knew. Did you miss where the BoS went to war with the NCR because they didn't want to share technology? Or how the BoS slapped a freakin' exploding slave collar on you at first. The Outcasts only told you to "go away and leave us alone." There's even logs in the game of the BoS slaughtering random people for their gear. The BoS has always been Technology > Humanity. You want a LESS serious game? This is what I'm saying - Fallout 3 was a detriment in that sense. Why not play Borderlands? It's 100% what you're looking for. Fallout should be different, and it shouldn't change to fit your personal tastes. New Vegas was far more Fallout than Fallout 3 will ever be. Which makes sense since a lot of guys who worked on old Fallout worked on New Vegas. "Rule of cool." Oh, let's give the good guys a giant robot that spits funny lines and have them march through the enemy. That'd be fuckin' awesome. ...not saying it wasn't but it was hands down one of the goofiest things in the game. Which has me worried. If they stick to the semi-serious tone of Fallout 3 I can deal with it. If they go beyond that... I never got a chance to say this: I started with Fallout 3. It was my favorite game for a fair while. During that while I went back and read up on the lore and history, and played the originals. It was damn well obvious how different Fallout 3 was from the others. I'm not saying Fallout 3 is bad. I'm not saying Fallout has to be super serious depression and brooding. I'm just saying I don't trust a TV series to do well for the universe. If you played Fallout 2 you'd see that the main team was even heading in a more goofy direction but they still kept it fairly serious and kept the series focused on morals.

Oh, I'd be fine if we had proof that they were going a good direction but I don't have that much trust in the guys behind a T.V series. We'll see what happens. If Zenimax is planning on a series my little hissy fit isn't going to affect them at all.

The Super Mutants and their goals from Fallout 3 was a direct rip of the Master in Fallout 1, except all of the SMs were stupid instead of actual "super" mutants like they were under the Master. There's no reason the FEV should've even been on the East Coast. It was being specifically developed in Mariposa - back on the West Coast. The BoS and the Enclave struggle was ripped right out of Fallout 2 except the BoS is suddenly white knights, and the Enclave is all the evil that has ever existed in the world. Granted, Autumn was a pretty good representation of the Enclave. He objected to the computer's genocidal plan but was still willing to do anything to achieve his goals as long as it didn't go absolutely batshit insane. He wanted a pure, rebuilt America and he saw the mutants as below him, but he wasn't Hitler. And the Outcasts were a pretty decent BoS - light. Those assholes you meet in New Vegas are remnants of the real BoS. I'm not saying "STICK TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL OR DIE!" I'm saying "by all that is holy please don't add more stupid shit. Let Fallout remain semi serious and less 2cool4school." TV series/movies DO NOT have a good history of being valuable, logical extensions of detailed game universes.

Again, my main issue is "lulz let's throw this in because of the rule of cool." I don't want Fallout becoming Borderlands. I like Borderlands, but eh.

I don't always agree with TheAmazingAtheist, but when I do I fucking laud him.

Eh, it's unique card is the retro-futurism. It's just I would expect an action series that's nothing but "lul gunz and explosions." Fallout (with the exception of Fallout 3) has pretty much always focused on morals and ethics. Action Explosion Apocalyptic Adventure: The Movie wouldn't really fit. And as I said, it's more adding things that are completely and utterly ridiculous. Like Mothership Zeta. And the rest of the world is a nuclear hellhole too, by the way, but you probably guessed that. I DO however love the idea of a post apocalyptic series. It'd just be best if it wasn't Fallout.

With a pretty extensive backstory that would be ripped to shreds in a TV series unless they go somewhere completely new. And even then I don't trust TV execs to have the best interest in heart for one of my favorite game series. I guess they could do it well, but come on. It'd be show/movie based on a video game. I guess it's less of a matter of them ripping apart what's already there, and more of them adding things that have no place in the universe what so ever and completely ruining the main theme and feel. Yes, I'm one of those fans. They might as well just make a post apocalyptic T.V series and stick with it. That'd be fine. If they wanted the show to stick to what Fallout is supposed to be then it'd be: Which would sort of give us something like Breaking Bad. But with a lot of the crowd that Fallout 3 dragged in we'd likely get something more like Book of Eli. Which was a good action movie, but it was an action movie. I'm having the same reservations about TES: O, but they seem to be doing alright so far. Except for outright refusing the involvement of the man who pretty much fathered TES lore as we know it, and that whole "transcription error" business. Feh. /rant

Nononononononono. Bethesda need not ruin Fallout anymore. I say this believing that Fallout 3 is a pretty good game, but a T.V series is just no. NO. NO.

I'm pretty sure Up is like -6 strikes, guys.

<off topic> Is Brave any good? I've wanted to see it. </off topic>

What's even worse is that article's comments are full of truthers claiming the article is just to make them look bad and hide the truth. It's all a conspiracy. Alex Jones deserves a good shwop in the mouth. He may not be behind this particular scenario, but he's propagated people like this for years. I mean uhm errr IT'S ALL A PLOT BY DA GOVMENT TO TAKE MAH GUNZ. I ON TO YOU OBUMMER.

I've found that most "video games cause violence in our youth" arguments can be shot down by simply mentioning the ESRB and what they do. That is, if the person in question even listens to you. Nobody ever wants to accept that it might be their fault their child is accessing adult material.

It's their only trade and they hid their name. Probably a troll.

RYNJIN used HAR- no, that's way too obvious. I'll just be going now.

Good, gooooood. Soon we shall conquer the galaxy.

Aren't they developing them for battleships right now, though? I don't expect small vehicles/hand helds for a while yet.

This. But I do know the Navy has been developing a Gauss cannon for ages now, so all is well.

How many rounds are there? I expect this thing to last for a month at least.

In other words: Just install NoScript.

But that would solve the population problem by removing roughly 60% of the world's citizens! ....GENIUS!

At least it'll be highly trained, intelligent individuals instead of... Snooki. Oh god, Snooki in Space. I'm sorry.

According to Buddha we managed to sign up and our team name is Dioses del Pan. That's Buddha's word, though.

Simple, Ted, just don't forget to remember to not forget :D

I second "Gods of Bread" as our team name. Think of the glorious puns! "Looks like you're about to be... toasted." "Rye some more." "Leaven so soon?" "Prepare to get rolled."

I'll sign up for whatever class is available.
