How did you lot ever place Alpha bug turd Protocrap above real damn classics like Ultima IV, Wasteland 1 and Ultima Underworld.ģ. Comparing every game that is published to the holy shitty trinity of FallGateScape.Ģ. A lot of you are a bunch of total losers going on AND ON AND ON AND ON about the Bee Gees 1 and 2 and the Fallouts ad nauseam. Gaming did not start in 1997 with Fallout 1. It's a good game, and if I sometimes seemed less than enthusiastic during my posts, it's because Bradley rubbed me the wrong way in the game materials and continued to rub me the wrong way (at this point that phrase becomes unfortunate) with his frequent invitations to look at those bazoombas"ġ.

My definition of what constitutes an "RPG" encompass several criteria, which can be found in the FAQ.Ĥ. Exceptions made and ambiguity resolved at my discretion.ģ.
