    Who me? I'm not, just scaled those images down to something easier on the bandwidth that's all.

    Blamtown.

    Gotta get too the centerish of the minefield, not just get some mines from around it, and if you don't feel like disarming bullshit just shoot the things.

    man I am really taking this game slow

    like 12 hours in and I'm barely where everyone else seems to be

    where the heck is Tenpenny Tower anyway?

    South of Megaton, you can't miss it

    I seemed to be going in a rather quick pace

    I'm already at level 10

    and if I'm not mistaken, the game is capped at level 20

    What? Have you looked at a map? It's
    VERY southwest of Megaton, five map squares from the left. Go direct south and you miss it by 1/3 the map.

    maaaaaan I hate it when someone is all "I don't want to kill anyone in the game" and then other people are like "well dur just plant live explosives on them or make them OD on health syringes." because whether or not the game tracks that as a kill doesnt matter because YOU STILL KILLED THEM!

    not directed at you perse, but its just a fallout thing I guess

    I don't really remember. but its decent

    also a lot of the good looking can be attributed to fancy in-game effects like motion blur and stuff that just make action shots look fancier.

    now if you'll excuse me, I haven't really had a chance to try out my new 75 damage shotgun yet

    okay as long as you don't have some kind of beefy death machine to make it run that nice i will be content

    i meet the reccomended specs so i guess medium-high should be fine.

    Speaking of graphics I have a question for all you peoples.

    So I've posted my specs before, but:

    8800GT
    2.4GHz Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
    8GB DDR2 1066

    Now, the game automatically sets itself to 1680x1050 AAx4 ASx8 with HDR by default, and everything runs deliciously smooth 99% of the time.

    However, one thing consistently slows my framerate to a nearly-unplayable crawl everytime: the dang heat wave effect. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think of the jet that those spherical butler robots have. Their little hoverjet thing shows a distortion like you would see from hot gases. That thing. Every time I look at one of those robots my shit gets unplayable.

    Even worse are rooms filled with gas that have that effect. Not only does my shit get slow and wonky when I'm in those rooms, but even being clear across a building, if I look in the direction of such a room, even if I might be staring at a wall, my shit gets slow as molasses. Is there a way for me to turn that off?

    I think I'm going to pick up Scrounger at level 8 because goddamn I am always out of ammo. I carry like 5 guns just so I can use my meager supply of bullets for each.
    I am thinking about doing this

    can anyone vouch for scrounger or is it not really worth it?

    I got the scrounger perk and it is pretty sweet.
    I have 100+ rounds for my shotgun, at least 400 rounds for my chinese assault rifle, at least 300 rounds for my 10mm submachine gun, 600 rounds for my laser pistol, and like 200 rounds for my hunting rifle.

    I don't have to worry about ammo at all.
    Also it doesn't hurt that I use the rock-it launcher a lot which saves a TON of ammo.
