    Gotta love the old C64 game where you won when you'd decapitated your enemy and a lizard came and took the head with it.

    I say we split into three groups and opt for three simultaneous attacks - one group will gather inside the biggest Walmart/Sam's Club/Whatever we can find, kill all the customers and employees, and fortify the building. The second group will secure the sourcecode for Arcanum and a cd master, and bring them to the warehouse. The third group will kidnap Bethesda and take them to the warehouse for brainwashing.

    Thus, we will have accomplished:

    1. The downfall of Walmart
    2. A warehouse full of Arcanum
    3. A decent Fallout 3

    I'm down, you'll probably need me in the Walmart end though, God knows wobbler can't aim for shit. Oh, one provision, you guys need to install Arcanum on my laptop and patch me up for after the fight. That way I can get back to modding after my like, 3 year hiatus.

    We'll simply have to build a time machine, go back in time, leave wobbler there and go back to 2007 in another leg of the trousers of time. Sir John sure has the means to provide the cash we need, and he's formidable with a walking stick.

    Every war needs a good casualty, that sort of thing. Be a good chap and step in the capsule, I'll lend you a spear in case any of the locals get fiesty.

    As soon as the rain stops and dawn arrives, I'm going out to hoist the flag halfway up in honour and remembrance of wobbler, our token casualty. Salute, sir!

    You call yourself Wobbler but haven't read any of the books, have you?

    I'll have the slaves carve a memorial monument we can tuck away in a shed somewhere.

    I thought he just liked fishing THAT MUCH!

    (Also, been down the basement for mah gun after hoisting the flag, so I'm ready whenever the raid's up. Just going for some beers first.)

    Well, now I remember. I got the name from "only you can save humanity" seven years ago, but I was just a bit stupid.

    I mean I rememberd sir John, but for some reason I did not connect....

    but now I do :thumbup:

    I'll spearhead the 3rd group. It's beyond personal now.

    Someone start drafting up a point-by-point lesson to educate the Bethesda personnel in how they could go about NOT butchering our beloved game. I'm going to mapquest the nearest Walmart and steal its floorplans from the county legislature.

    1. Groin shots.
    2. Infanticide.

    Point made.

    You think a Bethesda product with groin shots and child-killing would be good? What about the plot not sucking? What about not being forced into a certain playstyle for fear of every enemy in the gameworld? You, sir, need to think more.

    Gross misunderstanding on your part Blinky. See, the brainwashing procedure does include the features you mentioned, but given Bethesda's inability to comprehend the basics of a decent RPG, the workload required from any team member to successfully indoctrinate more than two items on the list would simply be too daunting.

    So Grimmhatter's going to teach those jackasses all he knows about infanticides and cheap shots... and you?

    The Troika guy, the guy from the World of Darkness universe or the guy from the C&C franchise?

    Or do they all transcend reality and are actually the same entity?

    Troika, although if DarkFool could dress up at C&C Cain they might take us as a more serious threat.
