5/10?! I would have given it a higher score than that. I'd have given it at least a 7 for a new area on the map (the area that you start the quest has been redone from the looks of things), there's new dialogs, new terrain (in the sim at least), some new weapons and items. I haven't completed it yet but from what I have played it was worth the points. This DLC isn't for the causal player, it's for die-hard Fallout fans that want more out of the base game without modding.

No I have not completed it yet, started playing it then felt unwell. :( I am enjoying it though (Y) , seems a bit too easy so far. I think I am a third of a way through.

Currently leading my army against the Chinese

Saw you were playing F3 earlier, not sure if you got it as well.

Yes I have had it since xmas, but only getting around to playing it. Just finished up Uncharted on Ps3, now this game will get some attention.

Ah I meant I didn't know if you got the DLC this morning or not.

I look forward to seeing what the next DLC has.

The Pitt

The second pack, titled The Pitt and available for the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game, sees the player journey to the industrial raider town located in the remains of Pittsburgh, and is scheduled for release on 1 February 2009.

Broken Steel

Broken Steel, scheduled for release on 1 March 2009 and will be available for the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game, sees the player join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all, and continues the adventure past the main quest. This also will raise the level cap from 20 to 30.

Most reviews are saying that if you have finished the game itself then the DLC is not really worth it as a fully powered up character will just breeze through it, it would be better aimed at people part way through. A pity really as I just downloaded it earlier and am going to play it later, sad thing is that some people with the PC version are not getting the DLC show, or rather when starting a game it doesn't give the quest even though it shows in the downloads section.

I picked up Fallout 3 for PC last night (spur of the moment thing) and it's great :) I got the Games for Windows Live version so I can add more achievements to my Live profile :p (I like achievements!) and it runs quite well on my system too. I'll have to go get the DLC now :happy:

Ha ha, I sabotaged the Presidential Election in the Republic of Dave. Bob becomes the next Prez and Dave goes away to Old Oakney to establish his new Republic. However he is ripped apart by Deathclaws. :laugh:

Dave has already voted for himself. I convinced Rosie and Bob to stand as candidates themselves. Shawna and Jessica will always vote for Dave. When the last person voted, I approached Dave and asked him about the results. The moment Dave unlocks the ballot box, press the action key and remove the votes in his favor. The condition is that he should n't get a majority. Watch the impending drama. :D

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
