fallout ftw

I'm scared to install the other two because then you guys might not see me until spring. lulz

it's one of the best realised alt universes, imho, even the fps versions (3 & vegas) are decent :)
f2 is a great sequel, tactics is a bit different but still enjoyable

Cool. I didn't know there were FPS ones. That's more what I'm used to but this was a very well done RPG even if it's somewhat dated. The list of voice actors was pretty impressive too. Richard Moll as Cabbot made me laugh. I knew I recognized that voice from somewhere. Heh.
 
Also I guess this thread goes to show how well X3d is working. Instead of complaints and bug reports we're talking about video games and noisy neighbors. ;-)

Geez sharke... do we live in the same building? lol

The apartment next to me seems to be specifically reserved for douche bags. Whenever one moves out, I feel a brief sense of hope that the next one is going to be in possession of a basic sense of common decency, alas it is never to be. People who cannot close a door without slamming it are a pet peeve of mine 

Man ya'll are reminding me what it was like to live in an apartment.

I love RPG's. But I can't play them. It's all I think about until I finish the game!! I get so sucked up in it!!

My wife doesn't know the RPG Grem.

This summer I started Oblivion because of the urging of my son. Lets just say I had to quit after a couple of weeks. Wife was freaking!!

then avoid skyrim at all costs!

I'm very sensitive to noise these days which is weird because I've lived in a lot of crazy rehearsal spaces over the years (but perhaps that's why). I can handle day time stuff but I am a very light sleeper and these guys are night owls and my bedroom shares a wall with them. The walls are extremely thin so even if they are being quiet just them walking into the room or talking quietly wakes me up. It's brutal. I gotta get the landlords to toss up some extra drywall or something because it's affecting my already poor health. I didn't realize how badly it was affecting me until I got a few good nights sleep. I mean they COULD certainly be quieter but they're just young people doing young people stuff. My beef is more with the shoddy construction/design of the building. I think it may have something to do with the fact it's a "green" building so they probably used some sh*tty eviro friendly insulation. I mean I'm all for doing stuff to protect the environment and I'm probably the biggest bleeding heart hippie libbo you'll meet (don't hold it against me... lol) but there are certain things you where you have to use common sense with. Roxall can't be that bad for the environment anyway... it's made of freaking rocks FFS. Even still they could have staggered the studs or put the closets/furnace rooms in between the apartments for some separation instead of in the MIDDLE of the freaking apartments. WTF?!
 
Okay... that was a little ranty. Just thinking about it stresses me out.

Got a case of the OCD do ya? Same here. Once I figured out what was going on I basically played it from the time I got up until I had to stop because I was starving and needed to eat/go to bed. Normally I don't go that overboard but it was just that good of a game. I'm also pretty much trapped in the apartment due to the weather, poverty and really having no where to go so it was like taking a little walkabout... even if it was in an apocalyptic wasteland. I kept trying to get the female NPCs to sleep with me but they weren't havin' none of it. Frigid I tells ya. ;-p
 
A younger me would be disappointed and horrified at that but screw that guy. He was just a rowdy whippersnapper anyway.

Grem used to RPG but then he took an arrow to the knee.

This is my problem too. When I lived in the apartment downstairs, it was a bit on the dingy side but man the old walls were solid and I never heard anything from next door. When they renovated the apartment upstairs I jumped at the chance to rent it for not much more than I was paying before, but after moving in I quickly realized they had done something to the walls in the renovation, i.e. there is no sound insulation between them now. It's one thing hearing muffled voices but when you can hear those higher frequencies coming through it totally destroys your sense of privacy. I've learned to adapt to the situation by using headphones more (i.e. me being considerate to them) but no matter how much I've explained the lack of insulation to my neighbor, he just doesn't get it (and neither have any of the others who've lived there). 
 
If you do manage to get the landlord to put some extra drywall up, ask him if he wouldn't mind using Green Glue (even if you have to chip in yourself). It's a magical compound that turns noise energy into heat.
