Propane accessories are useless without propane.

but propane is useless without propane accessories

Wrong. Propane can burn on its own.


Without a grill(a propane accessory), it's just an explosion.

implying there is a problem with that.

But....the movie had Joan Jett yo. She doesn't want to improve her station. And I also think They said there's no punk but I'm pretty sure Joan Jett is considered to be punk, right?

Not in the strictest sense. The Runaways were closer to punk then Joan Jett ever got.

Also, aren't most nerdy things in this movie considered to be counterculture? I mean, even though video games are much more widely consumed now, I don't think they're considered the norm.

Video games and video game references are not obscure anymore nor was it ever a vehicle against the grain of society. The hacker scene is. But gaming never was counterculture. Maybe you could argue that it played into Gen-X and their general apathetic mood to participation in society. But it never really became a rallying cry of a generation to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Being a geek or a nerd never was counterculture unless you were a hacker of sorts. Mainly because it wasn't popular or 'cool' enough to even be considered anything other then a hobby enjoyed by shut-ins and shiftless teens. Only difference is its in the mainstream now and everyone is a geek and nerd.

Counterculture is what the cool teens and 20 somethings are doing a Saturday night that is against expected norms with a idea behind it. Doing E and going to raves in the early 90s was counterculture. Sitting at home alone or with a couple friends playing D&D or SNES wasn't.

I'm a huge Far Cry fan.
I am of course loving the game so far. With that said, I had a major problem with the opening.

They send in a small team of like five officers into an enormous cult compound to serve a warrant of arrest for kidnapping, and go to arrest a major cult leader, who's already known to be violent.
That aspect is so unrealistic it's almost infuriating.


My thoughts exactly lol. I'm willing to give games the benefit of doubt a lot of times but this was really jarring. There's no way in hell any US fed is going to go into that situation like that. They'd call in a small army to arrest such a person.


If Ruby Ridge, and Waco are any indication that's probably how it would've went down.

When did dank memes just become casual racism?

Since before anyone called them "memes" in the first place.

Remember that some of the most prevalent memes have always come from some of the most septic places on the Internet. Before there was Reddit, there was 4chan. Before 4chan, GameFAQs itself had LUE. And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.



A lot of stuff that ends up on Reddit is just stuff culled from 4chan. Before 4chan there was Something Awful, and Newgrounds. Before that it was just random websites, IRC, AIM, and bbs.

I kind of hate how 'memes' has become synonymous with 'joke' 'fad' or 'image macro' though. A meme to me was always something that started as one way and overtime it changes and propagates in different ways. So that it becomes far from its original purpose.

They need a change in terrain tbh. FO3 was Washington, so it's an urban setting. FO:NV was Nevada/California, that means desert. FO4 was Boston and other nearby areas, so it's the Commonwealth, colonial structures and stuff.

The Florida idea is fine, since it would allow them to implement something that hasn't been done yet, which would be pilotable boats and airboats, hence traveling over large lakes and rivers. Not thrilled about Alligators, since there are already geckos in the other games. Poison spitting toads would be fun though.

Have a faction of Cubans running around, killing Brotherhood of Steel troops with Machetes and shit. Make them the new Legion lmao.

Hawaii would be great. Honolulu could be hit but the rest of the islands are fine. Save for mutated life and everyone reverting back to tribalism. It could start off with you part of a NCR task force traveling to Hawaii where you get shipwrecked and find yourself a stranger in a strange land. Having to learn a new language, and dealing with a isolated group and everything else.

The whole time I was there a couple years ago I kept thinking it would make a good Fallout setting. But it would take someone to make a really nuanced understanding of the place. Something Bethesda probably couldn't pull off but Obsidian could.

Another choice would be Seattle.

Wait. T1 and T2 are different genres?


Yes. The first was basically Halloween with a robot (so... like Halloween 3, but less goofy) whereas the sequel was more of a straight-up action film. T1 they were badly outclassed and running from a nearly unstoppable killing machine, T2 you had a robot who could fight another robot and, while he wasn't as strong, he could hold his own at times.

IMDb.com lists both as "Action, Sci-Fi". I think I trust their categorization more.


James Cameron says T1 is a Tech Noir film. It had more suspense, and dread behind the Terminator and little humor. T2 was a lot more lighter and actiony.
