1. Welcome to our forum. Feel free to discuss anything related to science fiction; in particular our great science fiction series. But we're open to all sorts of relevant subjects, because we'd like you to hang out and enjoy yourselves.

    About Rockoids II: As some of you know, co-author Grayson Steinberg now lives and works in Madrid, and hence only visits his family during the summer months. Last summer, Gene and Grayson completed Book II, at last, and resumed work on Book III, about which you'll hear more soon. Book II is in final production form, and we await the new cover design. We'll then offer it for sale. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi Folks,

    How many of you are looking forward to Fallout 3 from the game development studio of Bethesda?

    Here's a link to the E3 Trailer of the game:



    Online game store vendors like Gamestop have a release date around October 7th for it coming out.

    Thanks.

    Have you looked over the iPhone games to see if they hold water in the gaming world?

    Or do you even have an iPhone? :)

    Hi Gene,

    Nope, I'm such a dinosaur I've never owned a cell phone to date. I've used a few but that's it. So celluar gaming as a platform isn't my cup of tea.

    My gaming platform is strictly the PC Windows desktop. :D Mostly focused on MMO's, RPG's, FPS Multiplayer and some Pogo.com on the side.

    They are comparing the iPhone 3G to portable gaming devices, with suggestions it might be equal or superior in some respects. Just FYI. :)

    Hi All,

    Fallout 3 has already hit retail shelves this past October 28th.

    I myself plan on getting the PC version later on in early November as my gaming budget permits. :)

    Has anyone tried a video console version, like that of the Xbox 360?

    Please let us know, thanks. ;)

    Hi All,

    Lo and behold Bethesda Softworks released a Press Release yesterday Nov. 6th.

    Also they released a hotfix patch in 6.6mb size which Mircosoft requested. Covering errors for there Games For Windows Live service and some crashes at the end of the game.

    What Bethesda Softworks conveniently left out that there are numerous PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 users with frequent crashes. Or worse can not even start the game for the very first time. I fall out in the latter camp after forking over a $49.95 at "Direct2Drive".

    So i'm currently peeved, although i hear from all the fantastic game reviews that the game play is sweet. (even a cousin of mine says the same and he's a hardcore console player)

    I've even been ranting somewhat at "The Entertainment Consumers Association" on their forum which i'm a paid member currently.

    The ECA.

    I can't wait in the years to come that "The ECA" starts pushing for real gamer consumer rights. (beyond DRM issues) Since this mess with a lot of users of "Fallout 3" (Bethesda Softworks) falls right into a Lemon Law.
