Hey, I’m only 16 and I plan to finish school first. I’m jobless, and I fail at Keyboard controls, and the only Game Pad for the laptop costs around $50.

I wanted to try before I bought. If its any consolation, I have a birthday a month after Christmas, and I’ll be getting it then.

@noc
You still get divison by 0. Just use q/(r+1) instead or q/r.

Also, LaZodiac: You only RENTED Fallout 3? It’s a very long very big RPG. Did you somehow think you’d be done with it in a week? That’s like renting a frigging PC.

See, I’m playing a generally good-natured character, but I allow for lots of self-interested moral lapses when I can rationalize them. Usually this amounts to stealing ammunition from people too inept to put it to good use, demanding extra money for dangerous services, and in one case letting a firebreathing ant experiment continue because DAMN that queen looks tough.

In the case of Moriarty the 300 caps guy, this meant grinding his annoying Irish face into chili with a chainsaw.

And how the hell did an “Irishman” end up in the D.C. wasteland, anyway? Good thing I cleared up that particular plot hole. YOU’RE WELCOME, BETHESDA.

You call that being evil? Pfft, I baseball bat the guy using V.A.T.S system over a fence, nick items from his dead corpse, shoot down everyone who was hunting me down for killing a local asshole, killed some more locals, destroy the sheriff using frag mines, killed EVEN more locals, had some beer, killed more, nicked keys, stole items, did missions for moria, complete missions, shoot moria in the face, left town, KA-BOOM.

And the robot? Well, I made it shut up with a kunckle duster.

And in game.

Amazing. Just amazing. I should rent Fallout3 again and start over as a twisted evil person.

@AlexW: Nah, that system works, because a “Hey, link me plz?” post isn’t very worthy at all to begin with, so the number starts out properly low. Multiple requests only compound the problem, not create it in the first place.

But on the other hand, if an interesting and relevant comment on a subject contains a link to somewhere interesting or informative enough to be worth reading, and adds significantly enough to the discussion that it’s worth another blog post on its own . . . then there isn’t really a problem to start with. It’s just someone being helpful and informative.

My blog is here as an identifier, like a social networking site without the social network. It’s there incase it’s needed, not as a promoter; my blog isn’t set up to promote me. Back when we all used to just add to an endlessly growing html journal, it was much more fun; lots of close-knit pockets. Of course, I was 15, and 90% was just crying. We’ve knocked it down to 50% crying now.

Also, that means you’re dividing by zero.

Oh shi-

Don’t divide by. That way one request for a link has no difference. Put the worthiness in a scale from 0 to 1, then subtract the number of times they request a link.

Just so you know, the way it works here is that your probability of getting linked is given by the worthiness of what you post, divided by the number of times you’ve specifically asked for a link. At this point you’d have to pen the next Treatise of Human Nature to be in with a chance.

Hey, Pentadact, you should do a post where you look at all your commenters blogs, and give a ultra-brief mini review of 1/10.
(My god, we are so desperate for more views…)

Also in FO3, don’t people need to eat/drink? I just wish there would be a game so realistic, if lets say for example, someone was talking you to and you began walking around, and jumping on tables etc, they would turn around and say…”what the HELL are you doing?!?”

I hope you going to blow up that nuke it is very rewarding nice mushroom shaped cloud a lot of bottle caps and some other bonuses. About that bar proprietor you could have wait until he’ll go sleep and steal his password. If you blow that place to oblivion he will be dead anyway.

Its like those people that live on Mt. Vesuvius, though. Ask them what they think about the active volcano they live on, and they shrug. Stupid fucks! Shouldn’t live near a bomb then, should you?

On the other hand, the deputy is a robot.

Can you kill a city that would deputize a robot? Is your heart made of stone?

The barkeep reminded me of Al Swerengen (sp) as portrayed in Deadwood.

Friendly, but ultimately a dick.

Eh. Sounds reasonable to me. I mean, the barkeep IS a dick. He should have learned to be nicer to his customers, then he’d still be alive.

But! But! What about all of the missions and fun to be had at Megaton!? D:

You know, at least Chris had the courtesy to pretend to be reasonable. You know, for a cannibal slaver with more murders to his record than most people have jaywalking charges.
