Interesting times ahead - Australia is finally going to have an R18 classification for games.

currently games with adult content fall into 1 of 3 catgories - 

refused classification [banned] / censored / bumped down to a M15 classification.

Sorry, that was very silly.

Very nice.  Though I was hoping that it would have been "Bongo bongo bongo" playing after they got in the bongo.

They don't ever get in a bongo in the edit.  They get in a sub.

Note to Lucas: a bongo is a musical instrument.

Maybe you could play the music anyway. I like the idea that every vehicle has a song that plays on the radio when people are in it. You've already done that to most of the vehicles, why not the rest?

And why are we talking about this in the Video Game Thread?

Are games still going to be twice as expensive down there?

It's not like they are really twice as much. I addressed this in a long post a while back. It all evens out.

 

Really enjoyed the long Fallout post Xhonzi. Even though I can't think of any responses to make to it at the moment, figured I'd let you know all that typing was appreciated.

I love that song! What isn't to like about it? It is about a butcher who really likes cutting up meat. It is a song about a fellow who really enjoys and takes pride in his profession. I guess the part where he steals the old widows meat (from her fridge, I assume) and starts chopping it was a bit weird I guess (always hate to hear about elderly widows being taken advantage of), but for the most part it is a rather nice and positive song.

I heard about this. While I would have rather spent $80 less, I do appreciate having 20 free games, including Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda. Later this year we're supposed to get the GBA version of LoZ: The Four Swords for free, both on the 3DS and the DSi.

Excitebike 3D was free when we first got the system, so I grabbed it. It's really funny, because its the 8 bit graphics in 3D.

I also bought LoZ: Link's Awakening DX from the Virtual Console, I missed that game a lot.

Where is my LoZ: A Link to the Past?! They could do the GBA version with its widescreen graphics and sound enhancements! I would pay really good money for that!*

Oh good.  I like writing long posts... but it's even nicer if I know someone read them.  I mean... I know Frink won't read it.  ;)

I have 7 bobble heads and 26 bottles of Quantum!

I had 27 Bottles of Quantum... but I ACCIDENTALLY DRANK ONE!  And, sadly, it was too far back to my last (auto/) save to go back.  Well, at least I had radioactive urine for a couple of hours...

I felt like I was really kind of knocking the quests out.  I know I've focused on a lot of non quest stuff... but I thought I'd done 30 quests or so in my ~35 hours of play.  Some quests took longer than others, but I sware that I did some of them in about 10 minutes.  Then the loading screen dispelled this myth: Play time: 35 hours.  Quests completed: 15.

Ouch!  I guess I've spent way more time chasing after Quantum Nuka Cola than I thought...  And those Bobble heads.  And selling scrap metal to Walter. And decorating my pad in megaton.  Though it's not nearly as swanky as this guy's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B0wdrDohJw&feature=related

Actually... I'm really just mad that his Dog Meat is still alive.  :(  RIP xhonzi's Dog Meat.

I had a pretty good rhythm going- Fill my pockets with loot.  Take it back to my Megaton house and put the stuff I wanted to keep in my lockers.  Repair any heavy guns with other ones in my lockers.  Heal/de-rad/de-tox.  Chill my Nukas.  Get some water if it's ready.  Head over to Moira's and sell crap I don't want.  Head over to Walter's and sell my scrap metal.  Head back out to the wasteland with empty(ish) pockets!  Moira had so much expensive stuff for me to buy, she always had a lot of caps or stuff that I could trade for.  But now...  she has basically crap and no caps.  The caravans that can be found outside of Megaton have been good to trade, but it takes a few more seconds to get out to them... and then they might not even be there!  And I think Crazy Wolfgang doesn't really have anything left to sell me or any caps now too! 

I have 8k in caps, so I suppose I can stop hoarding/flipping every tin can I see...  but... but... OCD SAYS I MUST!

Moira gets a few caps if I have her repair some of the stuff I don't repair myself.  But it's not really enough for me to keep going back to her.  I think I need to start a new house somewhere next to a new trader.

Hahaha! That made me laugh really hard.

Collecting those was really annoying. The star bottle caps you have to collect in New Vegas made the Quantum Cola challenge feel like a breeze though.

 

 

RE: Dogmeat. In the Broken Steel DLC (while I consider all the DLC pretty good for this game, this one I'd say is a must have for several reasons) there is a "Puppies!" perk, that will bring Dogmeat back everytime he dies. I've read that they added a lot of HP to Dogmeat's puppies so he doesn't die as easily. It was kind of lame how you could be casually walking the wasteland only to have Dogmeat run off after some deathclaw or a entire army of Covenant or something without you realizing it and getting himself killed.
