Hi everybody. I've been here for a bit now but I figured now that I've started habitually visiting the site that I should finally introduce myself. Hopefully this will help those wondering who the guy with the weird face is (it's Franco Citti from The Godfather by the way, "In Sicily, the women are more dangerous than shotguns.")

Anyway, I discovered this site about a year ago through NcrVet's videos. I'm a sucker for mods (even though I currently can't actually play them right now. More on that in a bit) and I was amazed by the work Dragbody had put into the NCR uniforms (and while I prefer Caesar's New Regime as it's more Fallout-y, Legion will Ryse is equally impressive).

Anyway, I'm currently waiting with anticipation for Brave New World, Project B4, The Frontier and Dragbody's overhauls. I'm honestly amazed at the amount of work that's been put into New Vegas, and look forward to each mod as they come.

As a literature and film buff, I love doing critical analysis, especially of Fallout, so you'll probably see me looking in-depth at characters and factions every so often, especially if someone hits on a topic I'm interested in. I also love lyric-heavy music and video game/movie soundtracks, especially ones from horror movies. I'm a big fan of old RPGs (like Fallout) but also enjoy RTS games, platformers, point and click adventure games and FPSs, although I never really play multiplayer all that much. Anything with a good story or great writing, although of course improved gameplay is always preferred.

As you may have guessed, I'm a big fan of Fallout: New Vegas. It's one of the best written games I've come across, with interesting characters and themes going beyond the simple "War Never Changes" mantra of the series. It expanded on the lore and was influenced by some amazing works of art (the film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and the poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner, for example). I'm not blind to its flaws though. It's a clunky-ass, ugly game built on a troublesome engine that I'm amazed modders have been able to do so much with. It's thanks to modders that I've remained interested in it.

Which leads to my next point. I can't actually play New Vegas, at least on console. I have an old office computer that was not built for gaming (best I could get out of it was bad FPS Minecraft (yes...bad FPS Minecraft...) and while I do most of my gaming on my laptop, New Vegas runs like crap on it as well. Sigh...(stupid gamebryo). So funnily enough, for a guy looking forward to New Vegas mods, I've only ever played the game on console. Regardless, this hasn't stopped me from loving the experience, terrible FPS and all though.

So obviously the hope is I'll eventually save enough money to buy a gaming PC without screwing myself over financially, but at the moment it's just watching the Dracomies videos for me. So hopefully that explains why I'm not getting in touch with as many modders as I can to get as many mods as possible (because honestly, that's what I would be doing right now). But the point is I'm happy to enjoy being a part of this amazing community in any case, because I love Fallout and enjoy discussing it. Oh I'm also writing a Fallout fanfiction that I will post here eventually (although it is taking a while to write so I can't say when it'll be done).

Oh crap, I've rambled on a lot already. TL:DR. Anyway, Hi everyone. You guys are amazing! I'll post every so often whenever I have free time. Peace out.

Thanks. Just felt I should have a post somewhere explaining myself and my relationship with the site. Especially to clear up why I haven't gotten around to getting any mods yet

EDIT: And why I don't comment on actual modposts much.

We hope you choose to stay with us and experience the full power of the GUNetwork.
