We're now in the final day of the Inventions of Fallout 3 contest, but there's still plenty of time to get an entry in before 11:59 tonight.
The basic idea of this contest is to think up the most insane, hilarious, and awesome invention possible using only items available in the Fallout 3 universe.
Motorcycle gas tank + surgical tubing + The Terrible Shotgun + metal box = ???
Possibilities? Endless. Check out some of the great entries we've seen so far. Bad MS Paint art definitely earn you bonus points.
Be sure to check out the full rules and prize details at the original post, where you should also post your entries. FREE STUFF. Seriously. It's free. For you.
Dang I've been preoccupied all week and would have to research to even know what items exist in fallout3. I'm looking forward to the winning submission though. Good luck everyone.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
I'm Kauza, which is pronounced like cause-uh. My real name's Andrew Kauz, if you'd rather go for that.
I like talking to Dtoid people, so please add me on your favorite social networking site:
Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kauza
I also spend my days on GChat. santakauz[at]gmail.com I do so very enjoy a good chat.
Basics: I'm 25 and employed as an editor at a publishing company, where I either spend my days writing things that don't suck or turning other people's writing into something that doesn't suck. Because of this job, I do a LOT of writing, yet still I find time to write things that I like. Check out my blog to see the kinds of things that I like to write about. Anyway, I'd love to actually pay the bills with game writing, but that's not exactly happening right now. So I shall simply write whatever I can for free and hope people like it. But, hey, if you're in the position to give me a job writing about games, I'll take it in a heartbeat.
I tend to get hot for games that at least attempt to make some sort of emotional impact upon the player. I'm slightly hotter for that ones that actually do it well. I hate silent protagonists and games that have female characters who aren't voiced by Jennifer Hale.
I'm also a musician and love talking about instruments. I play guitar, bass, and drums. I love talking about music with people, but I'm unfortunately not into the same stuff as most people, so it's not always easy to do. You don't see many "progressive rock, jazz, classical, and fingerstyle guitarist" fans, but, hey, it works for me. I also run a music website. It's over at Progressive Melodies.
Eternal thanks go out to Y0j1mb0 for the amazing header image you see above. So, thanks, sir!
I'm going to steal the idea of a lot of others here and put some of my better (totally subjective) blog posts in a list here. Do what you will with this list. And by that I mean click the links, send them to all of your friends and random email addresses, and give me hugs.
I have others as well that you can check out on my blog. You'll enjoy them or your money back.
Since it seems like the cool thing to do, here a list of my favorite games that is coming straight out of my ass and onto your computer screen, and in no particular order.
Fallout 3
Suikoden II
Mass Effect
Metal Gear Solid followed by any number you can think of
Tales of Somethingendinginia (OK, and the Abyss)
Crackdown
Battlefield: Bad Company
Flower
Here are some games that I'm either currently playing or have recently played. Please note that I can't promise that these are actually recently played...I tend to forget to update my profile:
Borderlands
Demon's Souls
Uncharted 2
Too much awesome, not enough time. Help me.
The only way to get on my shit list is to be a jackass or to call something "pretentious" because you can't think of a valid criticism of it. So, yeah, pretty much just the jackass thing.
I'm constantly looking for good people to play online with, so anyone can feel free to add me on either Live (Kauza) or PSN (Santakauz).
Private stuff that I write in my nonexistent journal: I have an abnormal desire for a Cactuar plushie, though I know that it's a waste of money, so I'll probably never get one.
Oh, and I curse sometimes. Did I fail to mention that before?

But nay, I'm a man of my word. Instead, I guess I'll just have to do another contest in the near future. I wish I had more random stuff to give away.
