For a windbag, yes. I've read at least a dozen FO3 previews/reviews in
great detail of late. In other words, your 2nd & 3rd-hand delusions are
just as great as mine...the only difference is, I know I'm just pissing
in the wind taking anyone else's opinions about a game, *especially*
company boys, fanboys AND paid journos, as gospel. You seem to think
that someone playing the game for 8hrs has anything to do with the
reality of how YOUR experience with the game will be when YOU'VE paid
for it yourself & actually played it. You can try to insult my
intelligence with the lack of your own, but don't try it on everyone
else here - it makes you look, well, what you are. If in doubt, go get a
small room with Clewlis - you both have a bright future together in
never, never land lol.

instead of going for the random inanity.

Great: I have read dozens of books about WWII and archeology (one of my
hobbies): where is my History PhD?

(AKA)

TRANSLATION: My ***hands-on*** experience of Fallout 3 still amounts to
ZERO.

> In other words, your 2nd & 3rd-hand delusions are just as great as mine...

TRANSLATION: Why to check things personally when I can make up them with my
mind?

TRANSLATION: It is my delusional belief that marking with degrading labels
people who have different opinions than mine is a good substitute for
*facts*. But, hey! Should someone label *me* as an "hateboy" then... how
they DARE?? *I* am different from the rest of the world.

....Which only makes your delusional belief that HAVING NOT PLAYED THE GAME
AT ALL makes your opinion MORE QUALIFIED all more laughable.

> You can try to insult my intelligence with the lack of your own

TRANSLATION: While, at the same time, I'll try to insult yours so to hide my
inability to provide *facts* about the opinions I sport.

> but don't try it on everyone

I surely won't try it with someone who gives a factual, motivated opinion
about Fallout 3 (or anything else) - a category of people you sadly are not
incuded in.
