You must be really good!
Heh, I never said huge, big deal tournaments where only the best of the best end up in the top ten. Besides that, prior to 2000 or so, most everything was held at Las Vegas if not some arcade like Golfland in California or New York. I've played quite a bit in Sunnyvale in the past with Valle and Watson during the Alpha and Alpha 2 days when I lived in California for a few years.

*facepalm* 
Nobody ever understands your sarcasm Steve, I always have to point it out. Also @ Alpha, that game was total trash. Alpha 2, however, not so much. Chun was way too solid, though. Valle is a nice guy. He came down to Dallas to play with myself, Campbell Tran, and some others at the house of Goons a year or two back, classy dude. I think he was working for some alarm company at the time, totally didn't pan out though.

No, it looked completely sarcastic to me which is why I responded the way I did. Thanks though. And yeah, Alpha just felt like a Darkstalkers side project, but that wasn't really my point. I'm not sure why the need to wave cocks around is happening either. Believe it or not, despite what you may do in your own life...there are more people out there in the world.

Yeah, just trying to strike up a nice little conversation, regardless. Nevermind, though. As far as the "dick waving" I just think giving a little background/history as to my involvement in the scene helps validate my simple point as to why I'm going to stick with arcade sticks. Don't get so heated little buddy.

I don't care about "talking", just seems like it's turning more into some kind of dick waving contest, or "stfu noob, what do you know?" shit that you'd see on something like Gamefaqs.
It's cool that you want to stay traditional. I'm going to experiment. It's also cool that you have the time and resources to travel around hitting a bunch of majors. I no longer do. Yay?
@Liver; hah. Good show.

once i play stalker i'm actually going to finish my morrowind playthrough (still gotta finish the main quest and a ton of side quests, bloodmoon, tribunal) and then i have an oblivion playthrough as well that i just need to finish a few guilds/side quests/exploration and install some graphics mods to make it look badass. i'm hoping i can get this all done by skyrim, but being expected to finish morrowind and all expansions plus even just the guilds in oblivion is quite a daunting task considering all the good games coming out between then.
does anyone here know ANYTHING about fallout 4? have they announced anything aside from they might be working on it? fallout 3 was one of my favorite bethesda games (didnt like new vegas much) and i'd love to see what they can do with technology now/if they use id tech 5 and hopefully make another city one instead of the desert like new vegas. since they haven't even announced it my hopes aren't high, but i really can't wait for that game when it comes out.

I didn't really like NV as much at first, and I also thought that FO3 had more memorable areas to visit and much more memorable quests. However, once NV finally "starts" (like four hours into the game) it's pretty good. The writing was much better, and most of the companions were more interesting too. Mr. House was awesome.
The only thing I actually didn't like were the skill books, because I would end up searching them out to meet caps before being able to really enjoy the game.

i completely agree that the actual game is better; the writing is much better yes (the fo3 story i didn't care about at all), the new added gameplay mechanics are great, just everything overall is what fallout 3 should've been. the setting though? fucking kills it for me. the setting of fallout 3 is what makes it stand out in my mind, i love exploring the capital wasteland, finding all the places, meeting all the characters, just totally feeling post apocalyptic. in new vegas, i really didn't. it just felt like traversing the desert and going to a bunch of towns i didn't care about at all. some of it was cool and the strip was pretty legit, but overall really the setting just fucking killed it. having the capital wasteland with the gameplay and writing of new vegas would've been perfect but unfortunately it did not work out that way.
i remember in one interview/question they said something about the setting of fallout 4 like "you enjoyed exploring the mojave right?" to which i promptly went FUCK NO. if theyr'e making it another desert or something like alaska (which would fit with the lore perfectly) i will be highly disappointed. the landmarks and locations in fallout 3 along with the setting were fucking perfect, as well as the green filter that gave it personality (i know many don't like that) whereas new vegas had none. nothing could be a better setting for a post apocalyptic game like that, and i'm really hoping for fallout 4 they get another cityscape and really interesting area and make it even more brooding and dangerous with all the great gameplay elements combined together. hell, los angeles or new york woudl be fucking great, traversing broken down buildings, the subway system, all the neighborhoods; it'd be like the philip k dick novel dr bloodmoney but instead of in the bay area out there. PLEASE BETHESDA, DON'T FUCK IT UP.

I agree, the setting from FO3 was "better", but that's just a preference. You would think that the actual "New Vegas" would be much larger than it was instead of just a simple strip with a few casinos. The coolest thing about FO3 too was that many of the areas you entered were extremely foreboding. I never felt that way at all, except in one area in the entire game--but that's only because it reminded me a bit of Resident Evil 2.
Still though, did you play the first two Fallout games? They were mostly in the desert too, so...
