Does it cover accidental damage? I once had an LCD destroyed by a rouge air-soft pellet. It was covered. I would imagine that rouge, even in high-speed pellet form, wouldn't be hard enough to damage a monitor.

It's out in less than five hours now, so if any of you pick it up before the weekend (and have had a chance to play) please post back with your impression of the game -- is it worth it (Is it as good as Oblivion?)

Currently downloading a torrent while patiently waiting for my paid-for version to show up. EDIT: Gave up on it. Couldn't get a download speed faster than 40kb/s. EDIT REDUX: Ungave up on it yesterday, found a better torrent. Shit is pretty fucking awesome, I gotta say.

You...you...PIRATE! Not to absolve myself of similar tendencies. Heehee! Still, I've got so much on my plate, I'm just going to wait until I can actually have the time to get into it, whether I buy the mofo or otherwise.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME
I went into VATS yesterday against a raider, shot a grenade out of her hand, and got to watch as it blew her up.
Unbelievable.
Then I disarmed a nuke, and out drew the asshat who was trying to kill the sheriff. It was sweet.

You obviously don't understand the issue with online transfer of copyrighted content. To be clear, you can have two identical bit-streams where one is 100% legal, and the other is not. In this case, I would say that his is 100% legal, as he already bought the software, and is awaiting its arrival.... (If what he says is to be believed, which I have no reason to question....)

Received my Collector's Edition yesterday.
Artbook, "making of" DVD, Vault-Tek lunchbox (identical to the ones you find in game), Vault-Tek Vault Boy bobble head. And the game. AND because I circumvented the DRM beforehand, it installed without it when I started running the English version.
Piracy fucking rocks.

As I said in my previous post, it isn't piracy.
Piracy is a naval phenomenon. A more apt comparison is to Chinese factories that run a phantom third shift to produce unlicensed products that are functionally identical to official products -- perfect knockoffs that have no cost, and are given away at no charge....

Even if the act I committed wasn't software piracy, it was made possible because of software piracy. The .mdf I mounted came from a Russian pirate, and wouldn't have been available otherwise.

One word for this game, you ready for it ? EPIC! I've played it a bit so far, and I must not have gotten into it yet... In all brutal honesty, it feels like a game for adults that has been dumbed down to the level a 12 year old can understand, all while keeping the majority of the adult content. At least it isn't as bad as Bioshock...

As bad as Bioshock?? Are you playing the same games we are Digits? Bioshock was good fun and I am literally bouncing off the walls waiting for my 360 and Fallout 3 to turn up.
As for the whole dumbing down aspect, haven't most games on the Next Gen consoles gone that way? Games are certainly a lot more accesible than they used to be but then that it just catering for the expanded gamer population.

First day I got it, I was up until 2 AM, and only stopped because my friend got off Fallout 3 as well.

You know, I just realized that potshot at BioShock as well. Please explain, Digits. I happened to really enjoy the hell out of that game.

My warranty with ASUS is insanely comprehensive. And in case you didn't hear: the 360 version was leaked a couple days ago. I damn near cried. Made me punch a wall... at least I didn't break my hand like SOME people That is because I punched something more manly that your silly little wall. Walls just turn to dust when faced with the almighty power of my fist

Fine. Leo, I challenge you with simple brick. Now then, Fallout 3. I just watched a review from Giant Bomb, and a few things I heard really upset me. Namely, the ease with which one can abuse VATS to make combat a non-issue. Opinions?

VATS will save your ass, but unless you're cheating, you're really not going to be able to just abuse it. AP regeneration means that even if you fight exclusively in VATS, you spend all of your time between your three or so shots dodging and healing for dear life. Also, play the game on a higher difficulty. I really don't understand it myself, but I have it for 360 which may be the problem. It just doesn't feel like a good shooter -- it just feels awful queer. Hmmmm, maybe it's because it not an FPS? It's a stat-based action RPG that happens to play in first-person. I think what you're looking for is STALKER (get Shadow of Chernobyl, because Clear Skies sucks.).

I think what you're looking for is STALKER (get Shadow of Chernobyl, because Clear Skies sucks.). It is a game, played in the first person, in which you use guns. Sounds like an FPS to me. It's just that the overall feel of the game (or what I got from the game from what I played) is just somehow *off*. Hell, there are TPS's that I like (Mass Effect) and ones I don't (GOW)....
