Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
The Rules.
Please Read Them!
In order to try and keep these threads from becoming unmanageable, some rules have been created, and they accent the forum rules. Please read those first.
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details
Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to!

This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat. It's win/win/win!
Be not unkind, and may enjoyment flow post-haste!

*BOOGIE!*
This thread has been blesssed. Banter may begin now.
And I'd like to announce that this is my 25th Random Banter. I feel old now.
But back on topic:
@ruki - chan: I think they're kepy colder for presevering books or something. But personally I prefer to think of it as that they don't want people to be too comfortable when reading the books in case they read them in shop and never buy them.

Anyone else excited to re-enter the world of Fallout next week? I need to get my desert-roving on!
I hope they keep the rating the same. I don't want a PG-rated Post-Apocalyptic adventure. I want my shotgun wedding!

There's too many games I need to get, Fable 2 is top priority right now and it also takes the cake that I can't get my EMA till after half term.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
From previous thread, because I am slow:
This. If I must buy clothes, I purchase the first thing I like. If I do not like anything, I go to a different store. Shoe shopping with my Mom used to be awesome.
*tries one pair* 'Let's get these.'
"You don't want to try others?"
'Nope. These fit, let's buy them.'Last edited by Destro_Yersul; 2008-10-21 at 01:25 PM.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Ah, conspiracy theorists: united since 2213. (Time runs backwards you know )
But I'm glad someone else likes reading books in shop. Most people I know either don't read ( ) or are very noble and buy them before reading.
Odd people them.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
If I will, it will be Fallout one. Because I think it the best Fallout game so far and because no way in nine hells that my laptop will run the new Fallout
But thanks for giving me great idea! Haven't played Fallout in some time now, perhaps it would't be a bad idea to try it again.Adrie, half elven bard. Drawing by Vulion, avatar by CheesePirate.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I'm going to hold off on buying new games for a bit. I've got a ton now, Christmas is only a couple months away, and I might be getting a job at a game shop. Employee discounts ahoy!

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I don't remember a single character of mine without an Agility of 10.
Naturally, I took Gifted to make it work and dropped Luck to 2, but it was worth it.
10 Action Points from the start per turn and the best dodge in the game, oh yeah!
I also never did Called Shots, so I always took Fast Shot to make more shots per turn.
I had a Charisma of 8, too, so I rarely got into combat.
Oh, and I gave up the car to have infinite experience in Fallout 2. And in Fallout 1, since you could finish the entire game without getting into combat, I never bothered.
I also remember I always took Barter, Small Guns and that speech skill as Tagged skills.
Damn, I suck at Fallout.I use black for sarcasm.
Call me Rose, or The Rose Dragon. Rose Dragon is someone else entirely.
If you need me for something, please PM me about it. I am having difficulty keeping track of all my obligations.

So, time for me to participate in random banter.
I'll break from the crowd by saying that I'm not looking forward to Fallout 3. Not because I didn't enjoy the previous games, but because I'm convinced Bethesda will screw Fallout 3 up badly.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I never played the previous two Fallouts, so I probably won't get Fallout 3.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I am slightly concerned, but I am confident it will be worth the expense to acquire it. Besides, I have a brand new Xbox 360 (wedding gift from my friends) to buy games for.
Anyhow, On the older Fallouts, I always tried to make random characters and basically ignored the main quests (except where time limits applied) and did things like play a traveling merchant, gambler, lover, etc.
