I might have to snap on that, i was super late to the Fallout 3 party so i missed the lunchbox/bobble head unfortunately, but i'm a total convert now. I think i just need to see the price.
There are still places you can get the lunchbox. I've seen 'em still in the vacuum-wrap. I've been tempted even though I own the game already.

oh man, no wonder i was taking so much damage in point lookout
"Tribals are much more dangerous than opponents in the Capital Wasteland because they do far more damage to the player due to an object effect in the DLC causing the aforementioned weapons, when wielded by tribals or Swampfolk, to do an additional 35 points of unresistable damage per hit."
ran into my first super mutant overlord today on my unarmed character
it was really kind of depressing
I just punched him for two or three minutes until he died
he didn't even manage to do anything, he kept falling unconscious then waking up then falling unconscious again

Man I just read some stuff about NV in Game Informer, and it sounds awesome. The casinos are all unique, with different house rules, there are three different currencies, Caesar's Legions crucifies its enemies, your skills matter in npc interactions-- a high sneak skill lets the guy playing the demo sneak a gun past the doorman and into the casino... there are scans of the article, but I don't think sharing them would be approved.

is the "lucky 38" platinum chip a reference to something from any of the previous games? or are we just assuming its something in game?

Someone linked this article, scans of which are on a fan-site, in G and T. I'm not linking it because it is a scan of something that is not a free magazine.

The GI article says the Lucky 38 is a casino that is home to a Howard Hughes type recluse, who is the mysterious dictator who runs New Vegas hands off style. The casino is huge, but no one has been allowed to enter for years.
1. There are new perks. One of them is terrrifying precense:
“We’ve introduced a new dialog perk called terrifying presence,” says Sawyer. “It allows you to, when someone basically confronts you, instead of talking your way out of a fight you terrorize the person who’s threatening you to the point where they all run. It initiates combat, but they all run for the hills.
2. Expect some Western influences/elements. Protect little towns from bad guys
That element manifests itself in myriad ways. When you start the game in the outskirts of Goodsprings, Nevada, you’ll hear old-school country music on the jukeboxes of the town’s saloon. An early mission has you hunting critters out near the well. You can also help the town band together in a battle against some opportunistic bandits. This being Fallout, though, it’s not a straight Western. The town prospector pokes around in irradiated ruins for treasure instead of picking away in dark mineshafts. And those critters aren’t pesky gophers, but man-sized mutant geckos.
3. Dialogue is going to be a big deal, and Obsidian is rethinking how to do it.
4. No cars, no killing kids.
5. There is a new super weapon, comparable to the Fat Man.
You can call shots from a solar laser, that catches big areas on fire!
I read that article too. There are also three forms of currency and your barter skill influences the conversion rate.
I like the fact that this game appears to be making various skills more meaningful.
[edit] I say that because about midway (or even earlier) a skill like barter was pretty useless unless you neglected your repair skill. By that point you've collected enough armor and weapons to keep yourself supplied for a long time. The only thing I would buy was large quantities of stimpaks.
So, what do you dudes think about a cross dressing supermutant and the fact that this game is taking elements of fallout 1 and 2 and incorporating them or do you wanna talk about the poker chip some more.
hey my question is will this ''beta'' be permanented for the hole scene? i mean cmon it looks like tf2 now with those gay achievements.
and now people will only join servers to get those achievements instead of playing the actuall game.
and i heard something about changing the recoil and speed of how you walk u mad?
i heard something of a deathcam? i mean lol wtf. this aint cod?
if this gets permanent or something i might quit.
♥♥♥♥off with the flam0rs
I would only start playing CS again if it was some outlandish new version where they gave you an actual weapon and supplied you with the address of people who make posts like that

1. more hitpoints
2. enemies do more damage
I still have nightmares about the Wisps from Oblivion.

I doubt its real platinum
you fucking moron it's shiny plastic
I guess I should get back into Operation Anchorage. I kind of just want it to be over, I prefer the Capital Wasteland to icy empty sim warzone.

It could just be, I don't know, a different metal.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
I've been playing Borderlands and reading about Red Dead and 3D Dot Game Heroes and New Vegas and Little Big Planet and comic books and and and
like plutonium
PLOT TWIST
no cars and no killing children?
I wanna kill children.
I wanna run them over.
I just hope that any kids NV does have aren't as obnoxious as the Little Lamplight inhabitants
i'll kill you for saying that
You couldn't kill children in any version of the game. We don't need any shitbutts in here causing trouble. FUCK YOU MACREADY
I'd like to see you try
