Fallout 3, exploderating people with teddy bears

wtf that's crazy

I haven't even looked in this thread in months, but that statement right there made it totally worth it today. :lol:

1Up - E3 Live Demo of Fallout 3
http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/20175

they explain that the junk you load into the gun causes damage based on weight, so the teddy bear could have only done like 1hp dmg or something but the character that Todd is playing with has Bloody Mess, so the 1hp death results in a critical death animation. :)

The bits where they ask Todd about whether you can become a mutant like how in TES you can become a vampire, and he says that they considered it but decided it made it too much like TES with the "magical" or "superpowery" feel-- BUT that they are thinking of doing it for future games. (The thought of a Fallout 4 makes my knees shake)

Just as long as they get the next Elder Scrolls out the door first. I've done just about everything there is to do in Oblivion, and I'm gettin fidgety

Oblivion oschmidion.

Is anyone still playing TF2?
http://steamcommunity.com/id/hermittower

Does anyone play Civilization 4 with the Beyond the Sword Expansion? Its been my gaming obsession lately.

Really looking forward to DOW2, D3, Demigod, Darkfall...and a few others.

TF2 is one of my favorite games. However, I do not have it for PC.

I have it on my 360. It certainly looks neat.

^Do you play your orange box at all?

Yeah sometimes. I've finished EP 1 and am on the very last part of EP 2 but I keep dying. I'm playing through HL2 as well. I've already played through it but not on the 360. Finished Portal as well. TF2 is ok but I can't play it for very long. Too fast paced for me and I can't stand those fucking turrets.

Once you play Fallout 3 I'm guessing you will forget all about Oblivion. ;)

I won't be that interested to play another Elder Scrolls again if it is in Cyrodiil again (boooring). I would prefer that the next Elder Scrolls game picks another part of Tamriel to visit, or several spots (or revisit Morrowind).

Turrets - go spy and disrupt them. :)

Just an FYI. At walmart there is a little clearance looking rack by electronics and they are selling a 12 month xbox live gold pack with headset and camera + 200ms points for $40. It's a pretty good deal so I picked one up.

How much does that usually run?

$79. A 12 month card alone is $50 at gamestop.

Dang that is a good deal. It's $50 for just a year membership.

Most of the seccs gamers do it on consoles then?

I think its a mix. I'm PC, PS3 and Wii based.

Still can't play FPSs on consoles.

I can't stand playing fps's on the consoles.

I've got PC, Wii, PS3, 360 available...I use my pc the most and the wii second most.

I cry when I play FPS's on PC's cuz it's sooooooo much easier. But I do fine on consoles.

Todd Howard said that they plan on visiting a new location with each installment. They've done the Iliac Bay (Hammerfell and High Rock coastlines), Summerset, and Morrowind, so I'm hoping for Skyrim or a Valenwood/Elsweyr combo next time.

I would like Elsweyr, but the others don't really interest me much. The Black Marsh would be pretty cool too.

I have a PC, Wii, and PS2, and use them in that order.

I use my Wii, 360, PC, PS2, and N64 pretty much the same amount... not very often. :(

I'm thinking about replaying Baldur's Gate 2. That game was super fun. Also, if I get into the beta for Good Old Games I may try out Jagged Alliance 2.

Fun flash game:

There are few flash games I like. That is freaking addicting. currently on level "Around the Bend"

Yeah, I've played through all the levels like 5 times on my breaks this past week. I'm going through them now trying to do it with as few parts as possible.

Level 1, 0 parts
Level 2, 2 parts
Level 3, 2 parts
Level 4, 5 parts
Level 5, 6 parts
Level 6, 5 parts
Level 7, 4 parts
Level 8, 3 parts

I am having to work at level 15: "Down Under"... The earlier similar level :around teh bend wasn't bad, I am going to need a different approach for this one. "Four balls" was fun. I tried a couple approaches until I hit upon the simple solution.

May have to go back and try Scott's minimalist approach.

Here's how I did it the 1st time around... but I'm having a bitch of a time "minimalizing" it.

Here's the NASIOC thread on the game... lots of elegant and crazy contraptions:

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1573279

I got that one down to 2 parts. Yours had me cracking up though.
Level 6, 2 parts

That is pimp!

Here is level 2 with only one part sort of... I swear it goes in the goal, but doesn't register. :(

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=383146

Thanks Scott, but I am not looking at other's solutions until I am successful at all levels.

That way works... if you zoom way in and nudge the block and stick out a little more:

Level 9, 1 part

woohoo

I did it in zero. :P

Four Ball is fun. I just did this at the same time as my friend and we came up with completely different results.
Mine. http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=384691
His. http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=384140

I did it his way the 1st time, then tried a bunch of time to do it your way and never got the timing right.

Here's my minimal version, 11 parts:

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=382236

Level 17 "handling" 5 Pieces. I could do it in 4 by dumping the front wheel, but it will take forever to find the perfect length for the front "fork" in drag mode.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=385480

I got it in 4.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=384938

I think I must have played with Legos more that you Dean... or at least I ran out of pieces more often than you did. :P

WTF. :lol: That was so an accident.

How did everyone beat "BIG BALL"?
Here is how I finally had to do it.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=385400

FINALLY! Tube
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=386127

Okay, here's my full Minimal parts list:

Level 1, 0 Parts
Level 2, 1 Part (Dean's idea)
Level 3, 2 Parts
Level 4, 5 Parts
Level 5, 6 Parts
Level 6, 1 Part
Level 7, 3 Parts
Level 8, 2 Parts (Speedinticket's idea)
Level 9, 0 Parts (Not very clever)
Level 10, 3 Parts (Speedinticket's idea)
Level 11, 4 Parts
Level 12, 6 Parts
Level 13, 4 Parts
Level 14, 11 Parts
Level 15, 6 Parts
Level 16, 8 Parts
Level 17, 4 Parts
Level 18, 6 Parts
Level 19, 6 Parts
Level 20, 19 Parts


I'm sure some of these can be beat!

You guys need to check your links.

I took 100%'s idea for level 6 one part smaller:
