I

question.

Link to robot
wallpaper?

I remember
rope kid's wallpaper back in a "post your wallpaper" thread in
GBS. It had a web folder named "F3" on it

Rope kid
should reply in a non-public forum so all the lurkers reading
this have to pay to get confirmation.

Edit: It's early and I'm

The Gasbot wallpaper(or at least, an
updated version I saw at duckandcover.net) already has a F3
logo on it.

Besides, rope kid said that the F stood for
'Fancy'.

Checks take too much time. Forget the plastic
too. Have $60 in cash saved in a jar so that on the day of
release, you can quickly grab the jar, drive to the local
store, smash said jar on the floor of the mall/store, pay and
run. Remember, the cops can't ticket you if they can't catch
you.

If anyone is
still interested in the Gasbot desktop you might want to see
this thread.

Personaly I believe/hope
Fallout 3 is in development, but I wouldnt go near the
clusterfuck that the hardcore FO fanbase is for anything right
now.

OMG IT HAS DUAL WIELDING. OMG IT DOESNT HAVE DUAL
WIELDING. OMG IT'S TOO RADICALY DIFFERENT. OMG WAY TO NOT
INNOVATE BLACK ISLE. OMG IT SHOULD BE MORE LIKE COUNTERSTRIKE.
OMG OMG OMG.

Jesus. Lord help you brave Ropekid, lord
help you.

Could rope kid be the evil genius behind
Fansy the Famous Bard? Could the third installment of his
too-funny-to-be-considered-griefing adventures be not that far
off?

Actually, that almost makes sense. We know that
rope kid's obviously into the whole role-playing thing. And we
know that Fansy extended the notion of role-playing to its
illogical and hilarious conclusion on Everquest, which is a
role-playing game in name only. Clearly, the gasbot image is a
fluke, and rope kid is preparing some wild new MMOG antics
(possibly on something yet to be released like Star Wars
Galaxies).

I'm going to be horribly disappointed if the
whole Fansy thing is just a ruse to get my hopes up, and it
turns out he really is working on Fallout 3.

(And by
horribly disappointed, I mean extremely excited. But I figure
it's best not to jinx it. So as far as I'm concerned, it's
more Fansy the Famous Bard.)

Here are some random
avatars that I'm posting for no reason:

Since I'd be perfectly

something in the east. That would rock.

I thought the shitty graphics were part
of the retro charm. If it were prettier, it wouldn't be as
cool.

EDIT: I would also pay good money for a Fallout
MMORPG.

I don't think anything major has been
done yet, it seems to still be in the phase where people
release lots of tutorials on using the editor and stuff.
Someone did make a new unofficial patch for Fallout 2 and is
apparently working on one for FO1.

Apart from the tiny
mods that just change some little things released during the
last few years, some bigger ones with actual new areas seem to
be in the works now that the editor came along. Here's one I
found http://www.freewebs.com/f2modding/index.htm

Wonder
what those green things are supposed to be

Given the range of travel in the previous
two games, both of these are possible.

Although Nixon
is buried in Arizona, IIRC.

EDIT: We are both wrong.
He's in fucking Yorba Linda!

For the same reason that you don't walk
up to a Vietnam vet and scream, "CHARLIE'S BEHIND THAT TREE!",
you don't wander into a post-apocalyptic RPG thread and bring
up Florida. Fountain of Dreams, the sequel to Wasteland, was
the worst piece of crap ever crapped out. I still hate myself
for tracking it down via abandonware channels and playing it.
It's bad. It's awful. It centers around Killer
Clowns.

Also, Disneyland's in California. The Florida
one is Disneyworld.

You crazy.

My point was that I
don't want to see fallout as people(vary profassional gaem
dasignarz) were defining it in Fallout 3 wishlist thread. God
I was weeping when I saw people introducing "their own and
unique" ideas.

Fuck that.

I'll be quiet and
see what the creators can bring me whoever they are if it has
turned into another Diablo 2 "hay lets add 1000% to every
skill so characters look more powerful" athmosphere lacking
shitfest. Then I'll wait a month untill the hype is over and
decide whether to buy it.

I'll probably buy it anyway
since I have all pc "fallouts" in my posession. God, game
programmers all over the world are waiting their cocks on fire
to get their hands on Fallout 3. I hope black isle has some
fucking sense in them and doesn't turn fallout into another
franchise concept. Lol pay us 100g and you can make adventures
in apocalypse world and we won't give a shit.
