    [​IMG]RPG Codex has a colorful review of Fallout 3 by Andyman Messiah that I'm sure many of you will enjoy!

    Someone Who Cares

    You all know the post apocalyptic tango: mankind f***ed up the planet and now everything is grey, brown and radiated. Orcs with gatling laser plasma rocket shotgun grenade sledgehammer launchers roam the countryside and the only way to get clean water is to ask your highly improbable magical robot octopus butler – imported directly from Hampshire I imagine, if he can give you some, while at the same time he cuts your hair the same way his colleague cut your birthday cake. All of this takes place inside the highly improbable house you received for disarming a nuclear bomb. A house that you then furniced with highly improbable tip-top high class furniture bought from the annoying scrap vendor across the street.

    And by street I mean crater.


    The rest of the review can be found here.

    Belated and in poor taste. Some parts are funny though but, contrary to that "reviewer"'s opinion, swearing every two or three words doesn't make somebody look cool.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Now when I want to be cool I'll just make sure I'm wearing my sunglasses instead of just swearing profusely. Thank you, Car...something. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    Thank you.

    Also: Reading? Is it difficult?

    Omitted from the post: two thirds profanity and one third honesty.

    You're welcome, by the way, as you've noticed I'm always ready to help those who are in desperate need of wisdom and guidance.

    No need to thank me six times.

    If you need any help with reading I'd be more than happy to help as it seems you have trouble reading beyond the first syllable of Caradhras.

    It's a good thing that you've omitted the profanity since the Boards are a haven where profanity is not tolerated.

    As far as honesty goes I must confess I like your playful tone as it's a great way to make new friends and a proof of your own good taste. Keep it up, I can but commend your effort!

    I almost forgot: welcome to the Boards. :p

    Oh, but I insisted. It's how I was raised. When people help you out in your time of need and offer you their piece of mind in order to help you become a better person... well, you (censored) thank them! It's only natural.

    Because that's the kind of world I believe in.

    (I have sent you the remaining 94 thank yous via PM.)

    (No, I haven't. That would be spam. Damn.)

    Fantasy-themed usernames, schmantasy-themed usernames. I can't handle them. I'm sorry, Misty Mountain. It's the same reason I can't handle AIDS, because theres too much of it and it's generally too much of a sticky situation for me to even acknowledge. From now on, I will call you "Mattress". It's not an insult or anything. It's just that it flows more smoothly and doesn't get stuck between my teeth. Well, it's either that or "Car" so I guess you can pick which one you want me to refer to your stupid fantasy-themed username by.

    Or I suppose I can call you "Misty Mountain". I honestly think that would've been a better, greater username for you. Compare!

    "MY NAME IS CARADHRAS!" = Riiiiiiiiight. I want a Double Whopper Cheese with bacon, Coca Cola to drink and some fries to throw at the fat kids outside.

    "MY NAME IS THE MISTY MOUNTAIN!" = HOLY **** YOU'RE THE MOTHER******* MISTY MOUNTAIN!!!! OH ****!!!!

    And profanity, yes, I knew it wasn't allowed here. I don't appreciate it but I'm definitely going to accept it. You little urinary tract infection. You little butt wart. You mouthful of STD juice. Swearing is overrated, and it's a point I'm willing to rub in people's faces if they didn't get it the first couple of times.

    Thanks, Mattress! I sure am glad I have you as a friend. These are troubled times and one can never have too many friends.

    YAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO THROW FRIES AT ALL THE FAT KIDS!

    Are you guy for real? I mean come on, you must be a very sad human being to start trolling like that because some guy on the internet didn't like the profanity in your so called review.

    I mean why is it so important for everyone to love what you have written? Why should you even care if a guy who picked up a web name from Tolkien's writings didn't like your Fallout 3 "review"?

    By the way Caradhras is the Redhorn, the mightiest peak of the Misty Mountains, not a mattress -although I love buying mattresses.:p

    I guess name calling makes you feel better and self important. As childish as it is I understand you're the one who is suffering because I stated that I didn't like the profanity in your review and didn't think swearing made you look cool.

    I'm sorry you feel so bad because I don't like what you wrote, that's life you should get over it. I'm entitled to my opinion as you're entitled to yours. That being said I'm reporting your post because of the name calling, you should know better.

    Although I'm not your friend and truth be told I really don't want to be your friend, I sincerely hope you will be able to fill the emptiness in your life.

    [​IMG] I am not at all impressed with what I have seen here, from more than one quarter. It seems pretty difficult for anyone to post in this thread without reference to the previous nastiness, since the nature of the review helped fuel it to begin with. So for the time being, at least as an interim measure, I'm going to close this.

    It can stay closed. Andyman knows that this isn't Codex and that he should behave accordingly, but Caradhras could have handled it better as well.
