# It gets a bit wearing.
One ends up being glad once it's all over. Not many new delights once you're more than half-way through (which you are).

Fallout 3 is where it's at, I promise you!

# Where do I begin???
( not re: bioshock which I thouroughly enjoyed but I did have a long break from it mid game so getting to the end was not tiresome for me )

Fallout 3? Well I've played thta a bit and thought I'd give it another bash after Bio. Oddly it crashes when I try to load any game or start a new one. Won't initialise 3D. So I thought 'new forceware drivers last week, I'll just roll them back'. No joy. So I tried to load oblivion and same result. Just a bit miffed.

I'll fix this! So I ripped out the SLI Nvidia cards and put in an old ( but once the fastest card on the planet ) ATI X850XT PE and it's just behaving the same.
I'm left with two of my favourite games that will no longer work for no discernible reason.

So I'm a bit miffed. And puzzled.

# Stick with it, mate!
It might just be the very best game there ever was.

(Apart from the Atari ST version of Super Sprint, with three people sharing one keyboard)

# Oh I've played hours and hours of it
and now that it won't work it's driving me nuts. There is no obvious reason.
I'm upgrading this PC to Win 7 tomorrow so I'll put the effort in then. No reason to go mental fixing it on Vista when it could all change tomorrow.

# thats a bit odd, i think i'll be playing fallout again next, i played it through first time on the xbox so i could appreciate the graphics fully
the pc version looks a bit better but sadly my graphics card and processor are bobbins.

# yeah I played it with
2 Nvidia 8800 GTX in SLI 2Gb of GRam and 8Gb of system Ram. It makes the Xbox version look like a sega megadrive in comparison. When it bloody works.

edit:// If you are managing to run bioshock at all then your graphics are not that bad.
The same ati card I mention above, despite being a £300 card on release won't play it because ATI decided not to add shader model 3.0 support.

# i'm running it on an ATI mobility radeon x1300 and my processor is a centrino du0 1.83ghz
not great but it runs suprisingly recent games, albeit on the lowest graphics settings
