Agreed. I bought the biggest, flattest work-shop table from Ikea. Drawers and shelves are for the weak and misguided.

First, yes, my post was not insightful, more like angry. But mods love me, so deal with it CodeBusta. Back on topic: How am I supposed to know that the aliens are not a major part of the main storyline? After hearing there are aliens in the game, I considered that maybe the humans didn't nuke each other but instead had to fight off an alien invasion? That is pivotal if you ask me. I don't know how aliens can't NOT be pivotal. A society isolated vs a society in contact with aliens is a large difference. Obviously its not a new idea for games as a whole, but within a setting so rich with story as Fallout, knowing there are aliens around is kinda a big deal in my book. I'll choose to ignore your off-beat "win the game" and Madden 2009 comments cuz they are too irrelevant. I'm talking about story and spoiling stories of a really good game. If you want to turn this into a console/hardcore discussion, you can move along. (For the record, I prefer PC games and have for the last 20 years)

Yo fuck the slashdot writer for mentioning alien spacecraft. Or fuck bethesda. Either way I had no idea there was ANY alien shit going on until now. Thanks. NOT EVERYONE HAS BEATEN THE GAME YET.

And by the way, it's not about making money, it's about taking money. Destroying the status quo, because the status is *not* quo

You can type?!? Lucky bastard! ... oh wait, I guess I can too ... lucky bastard!

Plenty o' calories to be found in booze, too. My favorite part of going to the movie theater is sneaking in the forty.

Yea, people do this kind of thing all the time with ordinary businesses. Anything that can be traced back to income generation can more or less be claimed as a business expense to be written off, as long as you are also claiming that income. But the point someone made above still stands... if you are making enough to claim it on your taxes, then that's likely the least of your problems.
