New Fallout game announced

"when you push my buttons"

Irony is not dead.

Your insulting people and bullying of any person, opinion or company you dislike is creepy. Stop it.

This is the problem. You call it bullying, but it's not. I'm leaving you well enough alone (notice how I'm not posting in your thread about xcom, etc).

You come into threads I'm talking, and then you ONLY REPLY TO MY POSTS and in those replies you do nothing but attempt to annoy me or poke holes in what I'm saying even when you don't know the context, know the background, or have a clue what's going on in the slightest.

You're basically poking the big guy on the playground then crying about being bullied when he hits you for it.

[Asher]

Irony is not dead.

You used this attempt at humour just days ago. Variety is the spice of life.

[Lemmy]

Oh FFS would both of you just quit it unless you have something relevant to say about the new game.

Also read somewhere (forgot where :/) that Obsidian came up with the main idea for this game, which Bethesda apparently liked enough to let them develop a game based on it.

Found a source: http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=1113

Shack: What has Bethesda's attitude been in terms of allowing Obsidian freedom to create their own Fallout game?

Pete Hines: I think we tried very hard not to put much in the way of parameters on them. To let them kind of come up with the idea. So we didn't go to them and say, we want a game that is set here, and--we didn't do that. We said, "What would you do with it? If we were going to do this, what would you guys like to do?"

Shack: So you asked them for a pitch, as opposed to pitching them a project.

Pete Hines: Correct, correct. And honestly, generally speaking, that's how it works best, which is: you've gotta have people who are really vested in the idea that it's their creation. "This is what makes us excited. If we could do this, this is what we would want to do." ...

Asher, if you dont like LotM posts, please put him on ignore and be done with it. Since you seem to be of the opinion, that his posts dont contribute anything at all anyways, you should be able to cope with the loss and have no reason to fear that your points be debunked. If you wrote him a liitle, civil note via PM telling him so and why you did it, that would be polite.

Being just a regular user, i´d like to ask you again, to refrain from personal insults. I read testimony from others (in public threads here on Poly), that on other occasions you dont (mis-)behave like that either. What makes you think you can throw out common courtesy here, out of all places? You feeling being stalked by LotM shows (or at least indicates to me) that you are actually quite sensible yourself (and from recent happenings i can partly understand why - yet this cannot be an excuse) - so you should be able to understand, what effects your words occasionally have on others. Again: I fully acknowledge your knowledge on some of the topics discussed here, but unfortunately you are constantly diminishing the respect you´d get for that by this sort of attack. Attack the point (and call IT names, if you have to), but not the poster, please.

I will now, just for the sake of demonstration, re-write this in a form that would resemble your style if you have a bad day:

´You hetero-phobic bastard are so moronic, that you cannot even get your point across, because you are too busy to defend your pathetic little ego against obvious facts - like the fact you dont have balls. Your point-making universally degrades to the futile attempt to push others beneath your mental level - which resembles trying to bury something under the earth´s very core.´
(i threw in ´hetero-phobic´, because to me your suggestion that LotM stalks you indicates, that you think he does that on you - and noone else - because you are a gay person who is not afraid to speak up (which i think is good))

If you have that tone as a running gag among friends it may be funny - it is not though, when talking to strangers on the net. I think i am asking you for common courtesy for a last time with this - next time i´ll put you on ignore - which would be a pity, since i usually do appreciate the points you are making - if you are making one. There is just so much to be tolerated, you know?

If people don't want posts like I had there, they know exactly what to do not to get them.

I'm getting very fed up with LOTM's antics, if only because he posts like that there and then spends a lot of time lobbying to the admin and other posters about how I'm bullying him or stalking him or being antisemetic or other bull****. It's the endless whining combined with perhaps being the most humourless of all posters on this site and the complete lack of effort to educate himself on any topic he discusses that annoys me to no end.

I thought it was a nice thread til LOTM decided to meddle and not contribute.

Asher, it may well be that the quad core processor is the cause of your crashes. I've had a few, but probably only 5-10 all told. I've got a dual-core processor (E8400 Wolfdale core) and have been running at 1680x1050 resolution with the detail settings pretty well maxxed out.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's quad-core related. Just a shame, as this new game is on the same engine.

If it comes out on 360, you'll be in luck then right?

I still think you're a damn fool for rushing out and buying in for the PC. Serves you right.

[Asher]

I wanted a game I could play while the SO plays his JRPGs on the 360.

[DrSpike]

It's clear who wears the pants in the relationship.

[Asher]

It's clear who's never been in one...

Buy two 360s. Help the economy!
