New talkpageEdit

Your talkpage has been cleared! Jspoel 17:02, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Apprentice Edit

Hi Saint, just a note to say if you're planning to enter the apprentice this year about 27 hours remain to get your entry in. Agent c (talk) 20:21, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

ApprenticeEdit

I moved your Apprentice page to user:SaintPain/Lady Asteria. Jspoel 22:13, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Now you created that page again in mainspace. That's not the place for it. You need to update your page using the link above. Jspoel 22:22, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Great, you can continue to edit it for the next 45 minutes or so if you choose. Agent c (talk) 23:14, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Birthday Edit

Damn, I was supposed to leave you a happy birthday message on the 19th January but I guess I forgot. Anyways, happy late birthday! Not sure how old you are though...

Brandon Fox (talk) 18:04, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, cool. :) Funny though, I always had you pegged for someone in their early twenties or something :D Sadly, I'm very young. Born in 1995 :)

Brandon Fox (talk) 10:33, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I've got this whole editing section thing down now :)

Brandon Fox (talk) 10:33, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

You're in!Edit

Greetings…. I Willy Wonka shake you firmly by the hand… No wait, sorry, wrong script.

Welcome to the Apprentice for 2013, we're delighted to have you as a contestant this year.

Challenge 1has been posted, and has a deadline of 23:59 Wiki time, 23 March. We can accommodate a little wiggle room, but need to have judging done for the 28th to tie in with some other marketing opportunities.

Once we have all challenges in , I'll be offering early access to the second challenge. It will go up for all comers when the public vote is closed, but we will email it to any contestant who sends us their email address (nukapedia@gmail.com) as soon as all entries from the last challenge are in.

Early access can help give you a bit more time… there is the risk of you not getting further of course, but it can give you time to decide what you're going to do at least.

Good Luck. Agent c (talk) 23:29, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Patron Edit

Thanks for the new image! I should really bring you in as my official decorator for the Moose. ;) Also, would you happen to have anything for next week's edition? If not, it's not a big deal as I have a few other acts that I'd like to introduce, but I must admit that I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with! ^{Some Assembly Required!} 22:27, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

Haha, I understand, and I'll be cheering for you! As for the example recipe, I'm already liking where you're going. ;) ^{Some Assembly Required!} 03:00, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: I should tellEdit

Hey, its just a game my friend, besides I don't drink or smoke in real life, these are bad for your health. :) These objects in game look cool though, that's why I have that little collection. Sector 36 (talk) 04:41, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Vault 101 barnEdit

I found the barn and I don't think we have a page for it. Not sure it's worth one. Maybe you can add the image to the Vault 101 gallery. The mini-nuke is listed on the Mini nuke (Fallout 3) page, Vault 101. Jspoel 22:41, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hardcore mode Edit

A couple of weeks ago, I rebought an Xbox 360 after having just a PS2 for 6 or so months. And yay, I've rebought Fallout 3 and New Vegas! But I'm still thinking, when I finish 3 and start New Vegas, should I play with Hardcore mode switched on? Have you ever played Hardcore mode before? How easy is it for companions to die, even with 10 Charisma and upgrading their armor? The other factors aren't much of a problem like dehydration, eating food, sleeping or Stims healing over time. I love playing NV with the companions and I don't want em' to die, so that's why I'm asking your opinion.

Cheers.

Brandon Fox (talk) 10:08, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Links Edit

Hey SP, long time no chit chat, I miss them days when you could chat, haven't gotten to have the pleasure of your conversation in a while. Anywho, I removed the links for the loot images for reclining groves resort homes as, from what I understand, linking in the gallery is unneeded if it's been linked elsewhere in the body of the article. Figured I'd drop you a note and let you know. Richie9999 (talk) 05:02, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Being fearless with games Edit

I never get scared when playing games, do you think I'm a sociopath? ;)

Brandon Fox (talk) 22:20, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Seth Mcfarlene Edit

Yes, finally! I found someone else who hates Family Guy/American Dad. I thought I was the only one..

It's just, ggrhh! Family Guy has some of the most lazy writing ever. Seth just sticks in tons of cutaway flashbacks filled with pop-culture references and attempts to pass it off as writing an actual joke. That isn't good writing for a cartoon! And my god, when he adds 'padding', it's just even worse. I remember one time when Peter fell over and he was holding his knee and saying 'ahh!', for about 30 seconds! Talk about wasting time...

My friend loves Family Guy, and it drives me crazy when she says how funny it is. But still, we're free to like what we want...

Anyway, it's great to meet like-minded people :)

Brandon Fox (talk) 11:37, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Darn, my girlfriend is a huge fan of Family Guy :/ Oh well, I suppose we all have to cope with our loved one's likes/dislikes from time to time :P

Brandon Fox (talk) 07:57, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Ah don't worry SaintPain, I never thought you were disrespecting her or anything, so don't worry your handsome head xD And yeah, we're just s'posed to go along with it I guess :P Peace brother.

Brandon Fox (talk) 07:57, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

sig help Edit

Im suprised you still hang around but my sig which works with other wkis wont work help?-- {{SUBST:User:PainSpikeBrony/Sig}} 03:39, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

ApprenticeEdit

Hi,

This is just a message I'm relaying around all apprentice candidates, for fairness and clarity everyone is getting the same message, so forgive me if parts of this you already know, or isnt applicable to you.

There's just less than a week to the deadline for Challenge 1 (23:59 GMT 23rd March). Looking at what some of you have posted so far, it looks like the bar this year is going to be set quite high. I'm looking forward to seeing what you call can do.

We have a new "home" page for the apprentice in The Fallout Apprentice Landing Page. This has been created mostly as a place to direct traffic for Wikia's marketing, but feel free to link to this direct yourself. It will be updated to have details of all challenges on it. You can continue to use the old "disclaimer" template, the redirect page is now pointing to this landing page.

I'll be releasing the second challenge as soon as I have the last submission for Challenge 1; this will initially be sent via email. If you havent already emailed Nukapedia@gmail.com with your prefered address, please do so now; otherwise you'll have to wait about a week until the public reveal.

Lizzunchbox has confirmed reciept of a load of goodies from Bethesda. I'm still waiting to confirm the details, but hope to have a pick up with your entries after the public have voted. We're hoping for a reveal of all entries on the 28th, with a vote then open for a week on the bottom 3 to decide on who will be eliminated.

If you have any challenge queries, you can post it in this forum; you can also send them to Nukapedia@gmail.com if you would prefer your question to be anonymous (and I'll post it for you).

If you anticipate any problems posting on time, please let me know ASAP, we do have a limited amount of flexibility available.

Tara Fields - apparel Edit

Good morning to you. I read you have an xbox. I`m on number 3 now , mainly worn them out on 2 games. FO3 and NV. I only came across the glitch with Tara this week when I was playing around with Crowley and the Armour, having put the T-51b into Tara`s inventory to see if Crowley could find it .He can find it when put on benches. Later when I went back to the Fort to collect it I then found she was wearing it and would wear all the apparel I had. The hardest bit so far was jumping the fence into Megaton to find out what it looked like inside. My longest exploit. Took me 7 1/2 hours--1000HrsFallout3 (talk) 08:24, March 19, 2013 (UTC). I`m sorry Tara stays dead all the while you change her apparel it would be interesting to meet a non-hostile raider for a change and not be encouraged into killing them.I wonder how Tenpenny enegaged her?--1000HrsFallout3 (talk) 10:39, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

My Ranger buckle belt.. Edit

You havn`t commented on my buckle belt..I bought it from the USA because it`s the match of the buckle worn by the rangers in N.V. I have a gnome and a teddy sat on the rhs, a bobble head in the center and a 5 inch Long horn buckle on the lhs and am a studying for a doctorate in gnomes and teddies.You know, the ones that drink whisky , smoke cigarettes ,play board games and tie teddies down on railway lines to photograph  :-) .

Votes Edit

This will be a circulating message to all users that expressed their opinions over my recent discussion and vote. Please make sure to update your votes accordingly to this new information:

• Info-box Mk.II - For those of you wanting to see an example first, an example for how the changes will look (Keep in mind that this example is in its most basic form.) can now be found here. If a positive community consensus is reached, the new design will become functional here and the community can decide from there whether the final design is appropriate or not on Nukapedia.
• JunkRadio - I would like to share a quote from the JunkRadio designer himself: I was thinking of adding it to the top left or bottom left corner of the wiki. I can give it absolute positioning, which means that it will display on the top left, regardless of screen resolutions. If necessary, I can make it scroll down with the page as well, although this might distract users from reading the actual pages. - Mark van Alphen
  • Thank you for reading, and I'll be looking forward to gathering everyone's final opinion over these new changes. Due to the overwhelming support so far for all three changes, only needing minor points to update them for clarity, the vote will continue as normal, and will end on the 23rd as scheduled. If you would like to dispute this, please leave your concerns and reasons behind them over my talk-page. Happy editing! ^{Some Assembly Required!} 17:03, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

No pressure, or anything. :) Just sending this out to everyone that voted since a few editors were wanting a couple extra details. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 18:36, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

F:AEdit

Hi,

Just a reminder that we're in the last 24 hours for Fallout Apprentice Challenge 1. Please drop a line on my TP with your completed pages, and let me know if you cant make it (and an ETA if this is the case). Agent c (talk) 00:39, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Should be fine. Agent c (talk) 02:04, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Are you just about there now? Agent c (talk) 23:04, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

No problem at all. Watch your inbox later tonight, I'll be emailing something after I catch up with Garoux. Agent c (talk) 23:43, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Page bugs?Edit

Ha, I don't know, Saint, everything seems pretty fine to me. I guess it's just you. I read your Fallout: Apprentice entry by the way, looks like we all got some competition, eh? Seriously, good job, can't wait to see how this all turns out. Good luck and good day, ^{"Semper Invictus"} 05:23, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

I don't have any problems here. Maybe your video card/monitor is seeing its last days? Try removing your bookends and see how it looks then. Otherwise I don't know. Try another monitor or otherwise ask Wikia. Perhaps they know something. If you need to work on your Apprentice challenge it's mostly text right? You can always use another editor which does work. Jspoel 11:15, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

I've seen you work on your challenge. I see a lot of dedication so good luck with it! Otherwise ask Chad to give you a few days more. Jspoel 11:28, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

How did you project work out? Edit

A while ago Mr SaintPaint, you asked me to have a read about a character you had written. How did it go?

This is to jog your memory: Can you play the devils advocate, be cold, callus, even cruel? The anti social? I need some body to read this story Polly Pyro and in no uncertain terms. STOMP A BLOODY FUCK HOLE IN IT WITH A STEEL TOE BOOT!''''

Brandon Fox (talk) 23:13, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, that's cool. I'll have a read of it sometime later. One thing your character reminds me of is Jack from Mass Effect 2

Brandon Fox (talk) 18:10, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, sure thing. http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Jack

Also, Biotics: Biotic individuals can knock enemies over from a distance, lift them into the air, generate gravitational vortices to tear obstacles or enemies apart, or create protective barriers.

Essentially, it's like a power of the mind that some humans possess.

Good luck with the Apprentice challenge by the way :)

Brandon Fox (talk) 08:09, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Interview?Edit

Hey, Saint, I have a project for school in which I need to interview a veteran and I was wondering, if you have a microphone and you have Skype and some free time, I was hoping I could interview you. We'd need to do it pretty soon, but get back to me ASAP. Thanks, ^{"Semper Invictus"} 23:34, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

The class I'm taking is a class for English called War Stories, and I asked Gunny a bit back, not sure he'd want to though. If you wanna, look up Veterans History Project, it's exactly what I have to do. Peace out, brother, stay safe. "Semper Invictus" 02:58, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Project completion & award Edit

Nukapedia Project Medal You have been awarded the Nukapedia Project Medal for your efforts within the Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas notable loot project. Thanks for helping out with the project! --Skire (talk) 00:44, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

C2Edit

Yes, you can. You can use them exactly as written, or if you want to make changes to make them fit the new task, you can do that as well. Agent c (talk) 20:34, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Just on blogs, if you'd like people to comment, you need to make sure the commenting box is ticked, otherwise they'll be blocked. Agent c (talk) 22:01, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

I think it was just the Michigan one, but I fixed that. Agent c (talk) 22:48, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't recall any specific mentions, but I think there's a lot that can be played with on it. Agent c (talk) 12:45, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Forum discussionEdit

Hello Saint. This is a message I will be rotating among Nukapedia's sysops and regular contributors. I would like your input on this forum. In an attempt to remove redundancy and confusion, I have proposed some tweaks to user rights, including the elimination of the moderator position. Thanks for your time, and let me know if you have any questions. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 10:10, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry Saint, there was supposed to be a link in that message. My apologies. It's fixed now, so if you could have a look that'd be great. Basically I'm discussing removing the moderator position, but allowing users to hold both Patroller and Chat Mod rights (which constitute the mod position) separately, and treat rights requests as such. Let me know if you have questions. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 21:17, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your input. I will let you know when/if it goes to a vote, and give you sufficient warning before the close of voting to allow you to form your opinions. Thanks again, and thank you for your service to your country, and by extension, mine. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 23:23, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

First blog Edit

Ohayo Gozaimasu Saint Pain, I've made my first blog. Would you mind having a read and telling me how I did? You don't have to comment, I just want an opinion as to how well I did. Who knows, if people liked it, I may write one every Thursday on a different topic.

Brandon Fox (talk) 09:22, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your input dude, it's much appreciated :) By the way, when will you get your chat privileges back? It's a tad annoying only being able to talk with you by leaving messages :/

Brandon Fox (talk) 17:32, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

That's a shame dude :L I was looking forward to talking with ya' :/

By the way, I noticed that Dead Gunner wanted to talk with you since you're a veteran and I was quite interested, what war did you fight in?

Brandon Fox (talk) 17:52, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

I'm in love again Edit

It's been absolutely ages since I last played New Vegas (maybe 1.5 years). And I've gotten a new Xbox recently, so I thought I have to play it again, and I've fallen in love with New Vegas all over again. Simply fun as hell to play, and such an enjoyable story and characters. Already at 18 hours lol. I look forward to assassinating Mr House and removing NCR and the Legion from the Wasteland to create a truly free New Vegas. Viva la revolution brother!

After Vegas, I'm moving onto Mass Effect 3. And then I will have to decide which series I like better; Fallout or Mass Effect. It's gonna be a tough choice man.

Brandon Fox (talk) 19:39, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Review/C2Edit

Hi Saint,

I think there might be a little bit of me mixing up a few things, but the idea was (in my head as I wrote it at least) that there was supposed to be (something) that the main obsidian guys came up with first to teach the basics of control and set the background for the whole game, and then have the dungeon that you do... Yours just seemed to jump straight in after the intro movie.

Just a reminder that C2 closes in 2hrs... Are you okay to post, or do you need a little more time? We're not quite as pressed for time on this one from my end. Agent c (talk) 22:11, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Pefectly fine. A couple of others have needed it to. Have C3 ready when you're all done for a sneak peak. Agent c (talk) 22:43, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Re: where i've been Edit

Chillin out back and relaxin all cool. On the rare occasion I do stop by, I usually go to chat....which I see youre banned from. You should try getting Skype. That's how I keep up with EB683 and Cartman!. A few other old faces get on there too, like Scarface and Dr.Pibb. BILLYOCEAN ^{Wanna talk?} 23:45, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Paladin's reversion Edit

Hey SP, just thought I'd let you know that Paladin's edit wasn't a rollback but a standard undoing of the edit (if the edit is rolled back there's no option to leave edit summaries, he left one). As far as who's right, IMO both of them have their benefits. Also, from conversation in chat with Paladin prior to him reverting your edit, it wasn't personal, just what he felt was best, he seemed to be worried you'd take it personally but did not intend it as such. Just thought I'd let you know. I miss you in chat, man. Richie9999 (talk) 06:14, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Republic of DaveEdit

I'm afraid I'm going to agree with the revert. Yours is partly just a bit too random as Paladin already stated; the rest could maybe go in the notes section (part of it is already there). A note on the side: check your it's or its, you're often making mistakes with that. It's is obvious, its is a possessive term. You made an error with it on the Republic of Dave page. Jspoel 16:52, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

== Liberty Prime

==

Hey SP, I reverted your edit on the Liberty Prime page as I was unable to find any mention of him (it?) in any of the OWB terminal entry pages. If the entry is out there and I missed it, I apologize. Richie9999 (talk) 16:22, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Songs which fit the New Vegas endings Edit

I didn't know whether this would be a good blog or not, so I thought I'd just ask you this question.

If you could pick the songs which play during your New Vegas ending depending on who you side with (EG NCR or Legion), what song would you pick?

For instance, for the end credits after receiving the Mr House ending, I'd pick Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel to play. The lyrics of the song seem to fit Mr House quite well, such as the lyrics "And the people bowed and prayed, to the Neon God they made".

And for the Legion end credits, I'd pick this song to play, just because it's hard rock and it goes with all the crucifixions and slaves that occur if the Legion take over.

Brandon Fox (talk) 15:40, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah that sounds good, I'll look into Wagner for the Legion. Bear in mind though that I wasn't initially thinking of picking older music, but anything that I felt just fitted the endings.

Now, what do you recommend for Independence? Gotta be something that makes me think of freedom, slightly upbeat, no god and no masters to push us around

Update: This classical song seems to just fit the Legion so well. It's like, it's a very sorrowful and depressing moment for the Mojave, yet as awful as it is, civilization has come at last to it :/ Brandon Fox (talk) 07:20, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, sorry for the delays on that, just waiting for lizzunchbox. Agent c (talk) 10:55, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I've only just looked at my Talk page. I'm sorry, but I just don't feel comfortable talking to people over the Web. Hope it isn't personal or anything. Maybe when I feel like it, I'll let you know.

Brandon Fox (talk) 14:09, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

CapitalizingEdit

Don't capitalize things like faction and holotape in the middle of a sentence. They're just common words. You should know that by now. Jspoel 15:29, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Saint! If you want to, link me the song you wanna use in your entry, and then I'll set up the player for you, if you wanna keep the song secret, I'll see if I can remove the message after, or... I could meet you in another chatroom and set up the link for you. How's either of those sound? Stay cool, ^{"Semper Invictus"} 19:35, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Error Message Edit

From what I understand, something about wikia's most recent update caused this. From what I've heard we're currently waiting on a fix from them as the error is caused by the images in the infoboxes now needing their size parameter and the amount of work it would take to do that to each and every page would be enormous. Richie9999 (talk) 14:02, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Music player hostingEdit

If you say so, my man. You need help with anything else, just invite me over to Community Central and we can PM each other or something like that. Stay happy and healthy, and good luck on Challenge 3. ^{"Semper Invictus"} 18:03, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Sloan Image Edit

Hey, SP, the image of sloan you uploaded appears to have the cursor in it, in the bed of the pickup truck. Thought I'd let you know. Richie9999 (talk) 15:00, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

EditsEdit

I still need to check a lot of your edits which is becoming a bit tiring. Just with that image of Sloan, it wasn't in the right format, spaces and whatnot. With the Aces theater you made it theatre. As far as I know it's theatre. And you changed player into the Courier which made it read the the Courier. And it's player character, not player's character. How it's spelled can't be missed on the guidelines page. Sharpen up plz. Jspoel 15:23, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
