Just for the record Der Spiegel is not a gaming magazine. It's a German news magazine, and a very well-respected one at that. It's interesting that an article about Fallout 4 would run in its pages (or on its web site). That would be like saying since since Time did an interview with David...

Voiced Character? Who says? Just because a character speaks a line in a trailer? That's not much to go on. I'm not completely against it, but if they do have a voiced character, they'd damn well better have some choices. And there had better be some female choices. I hope to hell they...

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Also, if they're already accepting pre-orders, surely we're not more than about 3-6 months off, I would hope. Could we be looking at a Holiday release, maybe? ::fingers crossed::

Halle-god-damn-lujah! It's for reals!!! Awesome trailer! When can I freakin', PLAY it already?!?!?

No. Just no. Come on, Hollywood! How about we stick to re-making (and fixing) bad movies, and let's just leave alone the ones that were done right the first time?

I'm also an English-speaker from North America (Ohio born and raised). I had always heard it pronounced "docksoond" or "doxsund" or something similar, as well ... up until just the last couple of years, when I'm suddenly noticing people pronouncing it "doshund" or "dashoond" or something similar...

Here's the actual text: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..." And here's the pertinent passage from Jefferson's letter to which you refer: "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man...

Yeah, I knew what she meant (hence the ^_^ smiley), I just find it funny that she, like so many English-speakers (particularly in North America), have such a difficult time with the pronunciation.

What the heck is a dash hound, anyway? ^_^

I freakin' loved this game. I don't remember a lot of the details anymore, but I do remember liking the way the game handled chase sequences. Everything was always about where pursuer and pursued were in relation to each other, until you finally managed to get past a final hurdle?it made it...

Couldn't agree more. Thanks to subsidies, people don't get a "feel" for the real direct costs of fossil fuels, much less the bigger-picture costs, like environmental degradation, health-care needs, etc. Simple, short-sighted greed is the root of the problem.

I'm not missing that context at all. I just didn't want to turn my comment into a 20-page dissertation*. I mostly agree with you on all 3 of your points. Further, I think we need to implement world-wide healthcare and education systems. Unfortunately, the kind of push-back coming from the...

Amen to that! Let's go back to putting the kind of effort and energy into solving these problems (both green energy and space travel) that we once put into the Mercury-Gemini-Apollo programs, or fighting the Second World War.

First of all, this concept of an ever-growing economy is unsustainable. We measure economic growth in stupid, abstract ways that don't necessarily mean much for the day-to-day lives of the vast majority of people on this planet. We have easy solutions to hand, but lack the...
