Seconded. Played the hell out of it, and I enjoyed the game a lot, but that moment was still the climax of my experience playing Fallout 3.

Yeah, most fond moment in that game. Large part due to the fact that it was the first Fallout game in ages.

Thirded. I don't think I'll ever forget that moment. Immediately afterwards stumbling upon an entirely destroyed town. I absolutely loved just wandering around the wastes and salvaging stuff. I'd just read The Road by Cormac McCarthy and felt like this was more or less what the man and the child had experienced.

Anyone who hasn't seen these machinima yet and who still has a fond heart for Fallout 3 should watch the Wasteland Survival-series. Think there's 5 of them and they're the best machinima I've ever seen. The last episode, Springvale Elementary is probably my favourite.

At first I was like: "Cool, they are talking about the beginning of Fallout."  :) But then I was like "FALLOUT 3?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"  :x

Well to be honest the first sight of the wasteland was pretty cool, although it didn't blow my mind into bits.

Nords ruled by King Ragnar, Khergits ruled by Sanjar Khan, Rhodoks ruled by King Graveth, Swadians ruled by King Harlaus, Vaegirs ruled by King Yaroglek. All those peoples live, fight, and die in the continent of Calradia. The Nords and Rhodoks field solely infantry and archers, the Swadians and Vaegirs have infantry, archers and cavalry and the Khergit field almost exclusively cavalry. No such things as "infarty" or "calvary" exist. Play Vikingr!

If it's any better hours spent on Fallout 3=300 or so while hours spent on the first two are easily over 1000. And the beginning of Fallout 1 leaves you feeling so out of place and lost, loved it.

Dawn of War's original intro.  I was like, "whoa, somebody handling that universe finally nailed it" :-D

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault's intro cinematic and Berlin invasion mission were pretty epic.

I wonder what the rifleman's motivations were?
Let me see... Wanderlust, loss of a loved one, personal revenge, lust for money and power or being forced out of your home? Personally I'd guess it's existential crisis.

Gah! Nostalgia overload! I think my inner child is trying to get out!




Descent: Freespace
The Great War

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qRJDv5UcRc

Epic.


Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrVl0hdl5wE


Might and Magic VII & VIII

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnDljhkO5jQ

(I love when that goblin takes an arrow to the neck)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZspOEnoqtyg


The Legend of Oasis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK6cD9SiLz8&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL9112315DC4BB219C

(I just realized that this one is spectacularly bad, but I ate it up as a little kid)


Alundra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTyDw2OthMo

(Also pretty bad, but the game was great, if a little difficult for a seven year old)


Gex

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRiCWLyNjhw


The Horde

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_KWkPl6-zs

(Hilarious game, starring everyone's favorite evangelist child actor Kirk Cameron)


Blazing Dragons

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLqswADMkC4&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLF8AE2E8BDC8A2B5F

Panzer Dragoon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy1w37DNPHg&feature=related


The Witcher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZcsNE6wCHI

(One of the better modern ones, in my opinion. Still doesn't touch these old CG intro's though, but that's probably just my nostalgia talking)


Onimusha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt2B--F8yfM

(Great battle in this one)

The announcement trailer for Dead Island was incredible. Too bad the game didn't follow suit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqrG1bdGtg

Whenever I see it, I feel bad knowing what Dead Island could have been.

Super overrated trailer. Slow motion backwards trailer with moosic. Nothing special there. And the kid was just added for shock value.
