@redenchilada Joke's on you, I already have that one saved.

@redenchilada This image fuddles my brain.

@scribus Well, except for the smaller secondary userbase who apparently only use it for arranging meetups.
-
@mrconventrix Ooh. I liked the book (though, as with pretty much all Dan Brown's work, it has its fair share of flaws once you go deeper than just reading it for the thrill), not seen the film.
-
@mrconventrix Not bad, you?
-
@thelastgherkin That's just what the want you to think! Fight the system, man!
-
@mrconventrix Curses!

@renovatedkitchen Done, and I still don't see anything which contradicts what I've been saying the whole time (there is a lot of time when the thermonuclear reactions have yet to be triggered, and a missile destroyed at that time would thus not produce a thermonuclear explosion). But I'm getting tired anyway, so I'm gonna sleep on this matter, and see if it seems any clearer when I awake.
-
@thelastgherkin I like how the packaging says not to put them in your ears, but pretty much everyone still does.
-
@renovatedkitchen The detonation mechanism of the warheads would still have to be resilient, though, or else they'd be very unsafe to store - that is, they wouldn't trigger just because the missile blew up before the separate warheads split out. And as for why that one place was saved, those other places weren't the home of a highly intelligent, but also highly selfish, owner of vast manufacturing capabilities. It served House's purposes to protect his city, the rest of the wasteland was of little consequence to him.
-
@renovatedkitchen There's probably still elements of it that don't hold up to hard science, but it's not that implausible that he could've done it, especially given we don't know exactly how differently various branches of science developed differently in Fallout's divergent history.
-
@thelastgherkin I love semicolons; they're so versatile.
-
@renovatedkitchen If they hadn't started the detonation sequence at the height where they were destroyed, there wouldn't _be_ any nuclear reactions to produce the heat you're talking about. And this is the same guy whose company produced Liberty Prime, so I see no reason why he couldn't have defenses capable of destroying the bombs, as long as they were destroyed before starting their nuclear reaction sequences.
-
@ecmc If Portal 2 runs fine, you should be good to go; I have to drop the settings somewhat on that, but not on NV (well, not below what it guesses, anyway, and that's perfectly playable).
-
@renovatedkitchen Because up until the bombs fell, that area _was_ Las Vegas as it exists today (give or take the Fallout-verse's history diverging from the real world in about 1940-something). And as for why it wasn't completely flattened, well, the story actually explains that, so I won't spoil it, just in case you decide to give the game another chance.
-
@ecmc All sounds good to me, except possibly the graphics card; I have no idea how much oomph an HD4250 does/doesn't have.
-
@bluetearainbowdash And I personally found that the content (particularly the bits added by the DLCs) of NV was more fun than the content of 3, hence my recommendation of it. (Though obviously a lot of it comes down to personal taste by that point.)
-
@bluetearainbowdash 4 for FNV, 5 for F3, but The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage were both pretty short - having played through all the DLCs of both, I'd still say they're pretty much equal in terms of length/content.
-
@abigpony It's beautiful! :D http://ur1.ca/9sbgj
-
@bluetearainbowdash Uh, they're both pretty much the same length, counting main quest line. If anything 3 is shorter, since there's more skippable portions to the main quest. But both have a lot of side content anyway (especially once you add in the DLCs for both), to the point that they're both long enough that a small difference doesn't matter.
