Damn, I want to go to bed but this thread delivers so many times I just can’t stop refreshing.
You bleeding heart liberals and your ‘mercy’.

That did seem a bit weird. Not the house itself, but the fact that you apparently have a Mr. Handy or similar helper robot in it. Just seems jarring that in a post-apocalyptic world some 200 years after the apocalypse, people are so carefree with their working technology that they just give it away to a newcomer. Sorta like the Enclave having those walking eeeeeeeye bots hovering around for any demented bandit to steal.
I was curious who’s been keeping the Washington Monument elevator functional for two centuries.
Yeah, I found that a little weird too (no, I did not criticize it in the preview, though I didn’t praise it either - I just said it happened). In the extended interview with Todd and Emil we’ll be posting on GamesRadar on Monday, they talk about the butler a little, how it was originally something you had to buy, but it turned out to be pretty cool and got rid of the underwhelming feeling you get when you walk into a completely empty house.
Though the Enclave hoverbots DO defend themselves with laser weapons. At one point I was fighting some raiders at close range, and all of the sudden one of them burst into flames and died. I looked around, and there was the Enclave bot, whistling innocently. For little stuff like that, I wished that preview could’ve been even longer.

Well, some of the abandoned vaults in FO1/2 still had working elevators.

Ah, well if the Enclave bots can defend themselves that makes a bit more sense. You get any idea if you could join the Enclave when you were messing with it? Since they seem to have propaganda bots floating around I sorta hoped you could join them, maybe as an alternative to the BoS for power armor.
“Passive-aggressive” (in the context of internet message boards*) refers to personal aggression which is disguised as something else, often to give it the weight of authority. Passive-aggression is a common tactic among people who see calmness as superior to anger in debate and are prone to a layer of subterfuge in personal interaction. It’s distinct from regular personal aggression, which involves direct statements of discord.
Passive-aggressive: I don’t mean to tell you how to post, but there are rules here, and not all of them are written, but you should know them and your posts need to follow them a little bit more.
Aggressive: You’re full of shit.
Passive-aggressive: I’m sorry, but some people in this thread should leave this discussion to people who are more informed. That’s what we do here.
Aggressive: You’re wrong. Shut up.
Passive-aggressive: If it’s okay, I’d like to give you some advice. I think there are other communities on the internet, like NeoGAF, Octopus Overlords, RPG Codex, No Mutants Allowed, World of Warcraft Community Forums, LoriKNITS Presents KnittingForums.com, All About Breast Surgery by Rebecca Breast Surgery Forum, or Mudcrutch Farm Forum, which you would enjoy more than Quarter to Three.
Aggressive: We don’t want you here. Fuck off.
*The clinical idea of passive-aggression is more involved with dissonance between communication and action. A forum, however, is an all-communication environment, and a particular style of interaction with that environment has become known in its context as passive-aggression. The defining characteristic of passive-aggression in either form is that hostility is present but concealed.

bah.
They can beat me up some more if it makes 'em feel all good about themselves… what do I care? Just words on a screen. I posted some comments about a game, and got smacked around for some reason. Well, I was drinking whiskey so I’m sure I didn’t facilitate a cessation of the hostilities. :)
There are so many angry people in this place, it’s pretty much par for the QT3 course anyway. Why do I come back if the place is so full of anger and unpleasantness? Sometimes there’s interesting information here. Sometimes I find the level of frustration some of you vent for little provocation entertaining… in a socially-sad sort of way. Beyond that, I do what I like.
At any rate, I think Thamer has pretty much headed off the pack in this case though so I’m not going to run off, but whatever. If you people get tired of kicking him around, have another go at me if you like. :)
oh, I don’t care for Bioshock, WoW or Rockband either.
QUICK!!! Someone call me names on the internet!! HURRY!!!
If you watched that preview on 1up or anywhere else and are still coming away with the broken, sad, pathetic impression that the NMA losers have that this game is a disaster and a disgrace to the Fallout name, you’re a fucking dipshit and should be sent to a camp where your entire body is tattooed neon green with orange stripes so everyone can see you coming from a mile away and run like hell, just in case science finally proves idiocy is catching.
Same combat interface sound clips, awesome graphics and models, Ron Perlman, Perks, dialogue, exploration, killer combat, all of it. There’s just nothing to gain by pushing and having to pretend to be right and vindicated by your old-ass called shot that the game would suck and be trash and a sloppy Oblivion with guns mod.
You guys suck and I hope you hate the game when it comes out, because there’s seriously nothing funnier than an internet gaming nerd who can’t let himself enjoy something good because his small penis refuses to let him.
Perhaps it’s because I’m rocking it GroupThink Style, but I really don’t see anyone who’s angry at you.
Edit: Thanks, Bill.
Well, to be fair, children often get confused when an adult berates them for something with the adult being ‘angry’.

Pointing and laughing may be a sign of anger where he’s from. You should be more accepting of different cultures.
The fanboyism is one thing, but thamer’s “you must be fat and lonely” witty repartee a couple of pages back heralds the kind of low signal/noise childish WoW-official-forums churlishness that indicates a forum I don’t want to participate in.

oh well the whiskey might be blurring my perception of the evening a bit. Well, if anyone was treating me all mean-like let’s do this…
You people can all go screw yourselves because you are a bunch of whining, angry, mean spirited, nasty, unhappy, small-penised, haggard, useless, worthless, helpless, hopeless, high-horsed, uptight and retarded people and I hate you all and will never buy any games anymore because there are industry people here so now I have to hate the entire industry because of you guys and that sucks because gaming is something gamers like to game with gaming and arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh I hate you all with passion and fury!!
There.
If the whiskey had clouded me a bit, then please disregard the previous paragraph. Thank you for your cooperation.
EDIT:

I guess that counts as (weak) name calling. WAY TO GO CHUCK!!
Well then, maybe the adult is doing a poor job of being an adult.
Well, this is the internet. All I have to judge someone’s age/maturity is the text they post. If it walks like a duck…
