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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
