Oooh did you get the Holorifle?  I think that might be one of the more powerful guns in the game.

Yes, but I am lacking in ammo. I have 9 rounds left. I thought it used MF Cells, so I made more of them. No, it uses MF Cell B's, which I do not have, cannot find, and cannot make.

In that case, if you haven't reunited with the rest of the crew yet... well, hope you have a high Speech stat. Preferably at 100. If not, then that just might be a bit of a problem...

If there is one major flaw in Fallout: NV's gameplay, it's that you can only have one human companion with you at a time. I want to roam around the wasteland with my badass team.

So, was Harmony of Despair the last game in the franchise to involve 2D gameplay, or what?

Finally beat Mass Effect 2. Lost Miranda's loyalty at some point due to an argument between her and Jack. Needed an absurd Paragon score to get her loyalty back so I made sure she died during the final mission. Problem solved.

I decided to take my pimped out, level 42, power armour clad Courier to the Lonesome Road for the first time, expecting a rather easy OWB, or HH type playthrough.


Boy, was I wrong.   The first Marked Men weren't that bad, and E-DE  (Who I've apparently been saying it's name wrong the entire damn game) was a great help, it was when I walked into the underground and saw the event where a Deathclaw gets mauled offscreen by Tunnelers that I realized I was boned.  By the time I hit the Divide, I was out of bullets for all my fave guns (I never run out, I'm anal like that) so I'm using a flare gun and a pistol to fight deathclaws.   I can't port out because there's Marked men with stealth boys running around that I can't target via VATS (I'm horrible with manual shooting), including one of the 'elite' guys.   Then I make the mistake of walking into what I think is a 'secret' cave, only to have the entrance collapse on me, and the mother of all Deathclaws two shots me.   

*sob*

Don't get me wrong, it was a great challenge, being forced to go back to the earlier level playstyle, where I couldn't steamroll over everything.

Oh that's Rawr.  He's not that bad if you know that you can detonate a warhead that's in the ceiling above him.

Ironbite-also that cave is just so unfair.

Hey, beat Rawr, and you can make the ultimate fist weapon: The Fist Of Rawr! [Angelic Chorus]*

*If you're playing on Wild Wasteland, it's name becomes a punny reference to Fist of The North Star.

Also, THQ has a new president:

Huh... Recommended level is 25+. Guess it REALLY scales...

I've started playing Minecraft again after a months-long hiatus.  I fired it up, and started on an arctic island.  Three days into it, and I have my goal.  I will control my island completely.  No monsters will be able to spawn, or survive.  The whole, massive island will be under my boot.  I WILL CONQUER MY ENVIRONMENT!

[ETA]
Just to show you the scale of my task, here's a picture of my island.  The boxed-in area?  That's the area I currently control.

Quantum Conundrum looks interesting.

I do hope that includes any cave systems that connect to your island.

Of course, but the surface comes first.  I have to think of style, after all...
