    Find your dad, damn it.
    This made me laugh out loud for real. I must have some daddy issues, plus my tenth birthday sucked, and I just lied about enjoying it.

    My two year-old (I think) PC runs Oblivion very well. Can I expect it to run Fallout 3 equally (or nearly) as well?

    Yes Palooka...it should run it very well indeed. You won't be at "high" quality settings, but it'll run smooth and things will still look great. I've been impressed with the way the game scales to hardware.

    I got FA3 for PC, and so far, the game is awesome. The whole first chapter is so cleverly done, and it really feels like a Fallout game; it's dripping with atmosphere. Fallout 3's post-apocalyptic world is more believable than that of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., which I enjoyed.

    Incidentally, I was able to run the game on ultra graphics settings on my two year-old computer (with a Nvidia 7800GTX) while inside the vault, but once outside, it started to chug a bit. However, it's silky-smooth on the high graphics settings. I'm impressed with how well the game runs on older machines.

    I agree, I'm enjoying this more than STALKER. I think I'll be playing this through again - there will be enough that I missed the first time through to warrant another run.

    I'm in agreement as well. The game runs extremely well on my PC, I did turn AA down from 4 to 2xx on my 1680x1050 resolution.

    I had all intentions to sit down and do some iRacing last night, but I sat down and ended up putting in a couple hours of Fallout. Although I would like to trade in my personal robot butler for DOG from Half-Life...

    Anyone teamed up with a human or 'dog meat' yet? I'm only approaching level 7 now - so I was curious when that might happen.
