I’ve been pretty busy playing Fallout New Vegas since it released Friday, have played around 20 hours and just recently got Veronica (voiced by Felicia Day) as a companion and made my way to the Strip to talk with Mr. House (voiced by Rene Auberjonois), it’s like being in geek heaven.
I really like the game so far, tt’s basically the same as Fallout 3 (not a complaint), and I like the story and setting so far. I do miss the 50′s music, but I listen to the Fallout 3 soundtrack almost daily anyhow
Seems like since I got Veronica the game has started to freeze up when trying to close it. But other than that it has been very stable and bug free.
I did however notice a strange bug with Veronica once I logged in.. She kept grinning for the entire session. It started to really creep me out:
I guess we CAN make cool music that’s not Black Metal. Haven’t felt such a surge of patriotism since the good old days.
The song says what I’ve been saying for years (except I’m usually not as polite): “Some people prefer other languages, and that’s OK if you’re retarded I guess”
I’ve been playing lots of Fallout 3 lately (sorry Far Cry 2), and it’s one of the best goddamn games I’ve ever laid my greasy little fingers on.
The graphics are great, the locations and atmosphere are brilliant, the stories are excellent, humor and gameplay are both godly, and the music is the best video game music ever (right up there with eve online).
The game itself takes place in a post apocalyptic Washington DC, where you survived in a underground vault before finally going outside on a epic quest with your pockets full of weapons and ant meat.
Troubles in paradise
I had some problems with the game crashing to desktop quite often, and it grew worse the more I played. I tried a suggested remedy in making some codecs (fddshow I think it was) ignore the game. This only made it worse as it turned the “crash to desktop” into “crash the graphics driver and require a hard reboot”.
I turned off AA (Antialiasing) and HDR (cant say I noticed much difference really:)) and now it seems to be working fine.. Hope there will be a patch to fix it soon, as the 1.0.15 patch did not do much about this problem.
I was kinda bored yesterday (had the flu), so I recorded myself playing Dimmu Borgir – Mourning Palace (just to show all those youtube noobs how to play it properly, and on the same instrument as the band uses.. Nothing is worse than listening to Oldsk00l Dimmu being played on a Casio or Yamaha, Korg FTW)
I think I might record the rest of the album as well, when I have the time.. Maybe do Spellbound tonight (The opening part CAN’T be played on anything else than the G53 A-Choir on a Korg X5D)
So, I’m sitting at work tonight, listening to Burzum – Hliðskjálf waiting for the bus, it kinda makes me wish I was locked up in jail with my X5 and a SP-500 for a couple of years.
Recently I bought a Walther P22 which I’m looking forward to test tomorrow, also I’m taking Nemi to the vet for her annual vaccination.
I’m probably going to get some Cultural learning of America soon, and I’m really looking forward to it as I am a huge Ali-G favorite and Bortat is by far his best character, and lately I have been disappointed by most movies I’ve seen,
