Ashamed to say it but I only just found out about the new Fallout Game coming out, not much of a gamer these days but I make the odd exception like fallout :wacko:

looks like the original developers of fallout 2 are working on this one, The thing I liked the most about Fallout 2 when it came out was the humour & pop culture references littered all over the game, hopefully they can re-capture that atmosphere in this new one?

Fallout New vegas: Whaddayareckon?

Fallout 2 was awesome. So much you could do and even your actions determined the course you take. Fallout 3 was alright but preferred 2 still. Hopefully this one made by the original developers would bring this one to sucess.

I just hope the new one has a higher bloody level cap and is a bit harder.

+ 1 for the level cap, I finished half of Fallout 3 and I was already maxed out. I think it will be good but not as good as Fallout 3, Obsidian entertainment always make good sequels but they are rarely if ever better than the original. Obsidian made Knights Of The Old Republic 2, which is buggy and as you all know not as good as KOTOR 1.

Fallout 3 was very good. never played the previous series. Who is making it obsidian? Ill deffinately have to purchase this

KOTOR 1 & 2 are my favourite games of all time. Why the f**k havent they made a next gen sequel yet????

Pre-ordered this on Steam $49USD :)

Hows things dude? :-)

I do like steam but i dont know if they have massive savings they make it out to be, over say EB games definately, but against say Aussie Gamer for $80 Aus delivered to ya door... might be a small saving over steam, some of the games though like Bioshock 2 delivered to my door for $37 was always a good deal :-)

Does steam take up some of your bandwidth allocation? i have 25GB each month so not a big dent, but it was 12GB per month so steam would have killed my broadband allowance if it goes towards your actual allowance.. hope i am making sense??

fail troll fails

not trolling, I was seriously unimpressed by the game... The storyline was f**king shit, the ending sucked dogs balls especially... They actually FORCE you to go into the stupid chamber full of radiation and die... completely ignoring the facts that you've been fighting radiation the whole game, have radiation suits, rad-aways and a new friend who is completely immune to radiation. You even get to ask him and he's all like 'This is your destiny, I can not interfere...'

I stood there for like 5 minutes... they're all just staring at me, forcing me to committ suicide. It was a seriously depressing thing to have to go through.

This is after you spent ages fighting a government branch who ALSO WANTED TO TURN THE DAMN THING ON! Why the f**k were we fighting? Why not just let them do it?

Stupid f**king game.

Hi Dan,

Cost me $60 from Steam with the current exchange rate, so still cheaper. I tend to look around to see whos got the best deal before I buy the lastest games.

I have 60Gb Peak + 60Gb Off-peak, so doesn't make much of a dent in my allocation.

Cheers

Hmmm that is a decent saving! might have to check it more regularly then :-)

dude kotor 2 was f**king epic, apart from a couple of bad bugs

I agree it was a brilliant game but I dont think it was a good as the first, the whole Revan story line was just epic and couldnt be topped. And the bugs drove me up the f**king wall, maybe my computer just really didnt like it, I dont know. Dont get me wrong its still a 8.5/10 game but the first KOTOR was 9.7/10 in my mind.

Personally I have no idea, I think its because Bioware are making "Star Wars: The Old Republic" MMO which looks absolutely awesome. It seems these days companies would rather have 500k people paying a monthly subscription than have 10 million buy a game. The KOTOR series was a hit but the sales we're never astronomical, 2 million for KOTOR 1 and 1.33 million for KOTOR 2, that is only on the XBOX but even if it was a huge seller on the PC that market really isnt there any more. Even RTS games like Command and Conquer have gone multi-platform.

Anyway here's the latest trailer for New Vegas, the graphics look exactly the same as Fallout 3, but who cares? that was awesome and I reckon this will be too.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
