Well I've been exploring the wasteland outside of Megaton, is it just me or is the music taking a very short sample (or probably just the same instrument) from the terminator theme. It reminded me of a mix between terminator and the music in the rebel bases in Crusader: No Remorse.
Love the slo-mo gun play when targetting specific parts, I've not been shooting weapons or legs, I'll have to try that as i've only been making some heads explode!
So I recently discovered a cheats list. I then went on a no-clipping/godmode/infiniteammo spree with my Fatman, and killed everything in sight. I then decided to make the rounds at Megaton, Rivet City, and Three Dog's place. It seems if you assassinate Three Dog, the radio station will still play music, but someone will come on and chew you out for killing Three Dog.
Hey I didn't like that he was calling me a @#$hole.
Ah the freedom of testing features... errr cheats.
When you get to melt peoples faces into a pool of goo brings a smile to my face.
The gift that keeps giving

9mmfu is actually one of the lead developers for MxO... not a mod. Anywho, I cant watch my room mate play Fallout 3 anymore... Not only do I wanna play it so bad, he is just so bad at it, it makes me sick LOL
Lead developer? Don't you mean Q&A.
Also.
Powerfist is the best.

Character creation is getting pretty detailed these days. On one hand it's cool having all these options, but on the other the character creation process is getting longer! It took me ages to make my character in Mass Effect.
I think it just gets a little excessive nowardays, it's sorta like the game isn't good unless you can customize at least 12 features of your character, Oblivion have like 5-6 features for each part of your face then you can make each of those individual parts have it's individual colour.
Anyway I have a copy being delivered to me right now, unfortunately due to the post office it will probably find it's way to asia before making a round trip through the US finally reaching the UK before getting stuck at customs meaning I have to travel to where it arrived which will probably be as far away in the UK as possible and then I have to pay £50 to have it released.
Ahhh..... good times.
Game looks good from what I've seen of previews anyway and the banter around this place

I like the customisation, of course I can spend ages on just that part getting it right! Obviously customisation has a lot more meaning in online games then in single player games. I haven't checked out any options too deeply yet so I can only speak for the default settings but it seems strange that with a comprehensive customisation for your character you can't actually see him/her from the front.
As for the post office, a 2 day free delivery took them only one day to get it delivered to me, which meant I got the game the day before the official release date. So yeah, I've got no qualms with the post office at the moment!
I'm only as far as hunting for 'The Family' who I can't find in any of the locations mentioned, but it seems to be a great game.
The Family aren't difficult to find in the slightest. If you want a hint, they're underground, in - if memory serves - the closest marker to Arefu.
When I went looking for the family they weren't in either three of the markers I got given by Evan King. I stumbled upon them by accident after killing 3 Super Mutants in a row.
Well trying not to spoil it for others, the closest marker is to the NE I think but while you do go underground, I find only a couple of ghouls. A quick look around just gave me some rad poisoning in the back room and near the toilets. Also to the east there is another underground area, with a load of radscorpions even a locked cell (lock unpickable, requires a key. Strangly enough the lock withstands a missle blast!) in which I thought the guy I needed to find would be kept but he isn't there or at least I couldn't see him. I'll have to look around properly in closer detail as I can't say I've had a really good session on F3 at the moment .
They're definitely in the NE marker (the entrance is between two lonely buildings, right?). Those subway areas can get pretty complex though, gotta check down every track and in every office. Come to think of it, that might have been the time I had to pop down a slightly radioactive drain.
(Holy... For goodness sake. The forum didn't let me use an alternative to 'pop' beginning with 'n' and 'i'. )

Ah, well as I said I'll take a closer look, I know two spots where there is some radiation so I'll look at them both. Thanks!
By the way, is there any way to get a torch? Does the pip boy 3000 (despite it's basic alpha status) have an integrated torch? (or is there a button to turn a light source on?) I've explored a few areas which were pretty dark, even with the game brightened up.

There are two entrances to find the family. If you need a hint send me a pm
Also, if your playing on a PC to get a light hold your tab button (pip boy activation key) down and it will turn on.
There's a torch!? Oh, and I bet it was mentioned in the manual too, which I didn't read. /facepalm I'm always telling people to read the manual...
Then again, the game ain't perfect either. I re-assigned the Pip-Boy key to C (easier to get to on my gamepad thingy), and while that does open it, I still have to press Tab to close it. Nuisance.
