The 1973 Orson Welles docudrama "F for Fake" is worth watching if you're interested in art forgery. It posits that there is value in the art of the forgery itself, if the forgery is high enough quality and fools enough people

Thank you for playing! Glad we could give you a boost. I'm super appreciative of all the Fallout fans I've met over the years for doing the same to me.

Reading all the Hugos is a fascinating tour through sci-fi across the years. We started with Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep" in 1992. Tim Cain had gotten the CD-ROM version and it was the first ebook I read. Then we wen

In the early 90s, I read all of the Hugo winners at the time. A Canticle for Leibowitz was one of my favorites. A few years later, it was one of the three major influences we used when making the original Fallout (along with Road Warrior an

I like my milkshakes thick enough that they need a spoon. I prefer liquid drinks without a straw, but I find that most of my friends and family prefer straws. And not paper straws. Don't know a single person who likes paper straws. My

Around here, they are called “bachelor loafs”. Since my family doesn’t like wheat bread, I buy a bachelor loaf a week. Saves about a buck, but much less spoilage. I don’t eat enough bread for a full loaf a week and am too lazy to deal with

The vast majority (around 67% in 2018) of US firefighters are volunteers[1]. My mother started as a volunteer in her small canyon community in Orange County, CA, and did that for five years before becoming a full-time engineer for the OCFD.
