    Does this Goth/Mall hybrid frequently appear at the Moperville Mall?
    That could help explain while that mall is still thriving while other malls are in decay.

    EGS is a world where video rental stores are still a thing.  Brick-and-mortar retail is resisting death-by-internet better than they are in our world.

    That and I would expect clothes stores to still be doing well in some areas from people who want to actually try on clothes before you buy them. The malls back where I am from are still doing well (well the main 2 anyway), but one is almost all clothes stores, the other just mostly

    If they have FTL engine, they probably have other technology capable of defeating us easily. If they don't, it means it took them centuries to get here ; getting impatient now is improbable and would be sign of very bad planning.

    Unless we are dealing with something like in Turtledove's short story "The Road not Taken" where discovering FTL tends to cause civilizations to stop advancing, so the Aliens had black powder weapons against automatic rifles.

    They had the problem that in order to survive on Earth they either needed pressurised vehicles, breathing masks or habitation domes. They figured that by destroying Earth industry so we couldn't efficiently counterattack, they could solve the rest of the problem by altering the atmosphere to suit them. Since humans couldn't survive longer than a few minutes in their atmosphere, they were fairly sure it would have worked. (I cannot remember for certain but they also preferred a temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius/100 degrees Fahrenheit.) Though in theory the surviving humans could have created habitats of their own as well as breathing masks that worked the other way, so the aliens might have been overconfident. Instead they lost the war by being overconfident in a different area.

    No worse then battlefield earth with the aliens atmosphere igniting when it comes into contact with radiation, that is kind of all over the place.

    EDIT : why am I tinking of this for your description : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tripods

    You could do something similar in Fallout 3 (and I assume NV but I never really tried there). If you reverse pick pocketed a suit of superior armor on to someone theh the next time the loaded they would be wearing that, and you could pick pocket their original suit. 

    One playthrough I proceeded to replace EVERYONES outfit in Megaton with the varions raider outfits (including the kids) and then steal their original outfits. Some of the kids clothes look a bit weird on a full grown adult.

    Of course, that would mean that when Elliot asks Mr. Verres how the DGB pulled it off, he will only answer "A wizard did it."

    Or fake a seizure ;)

    Though knowing Mr. Verres I would half expect a long  and convoluted explanation, with many charts, that Elliot eventually loses track of and falls asleep during.

    Sounds rather similar in principle to Uncanny Valley.

    Some of it yes, for graphics. But complaints come in for more then just that. people complain about every aspect that they think should be different. 

    Research how long a weapon actually takes to re-load, to slow. Study the jamming rates, they occur to often. (both are examples of complaints from the same game)

    Once people are conditioned to expect a lie, they reject the truth. 

    But people complain that unrealistic things are the more real all the time elsewhere, back when the Nanny was on the air they use to get fan mail saying the guy playing the father/boss/love interest (who is from England, and apparently a member of the Aristocracy) did not have a proper accent, and should take lessons from the guy playing the butler (he is from Arkansas). There are similar complaints about Tracer's accent (guess what country the voice actress is from).

    Most of us were expecting the Almighty to be Odin (although I was holding out for Thor) but the authorized daddy of Urd, Belldandy, and Skuld turned out to be Tyr, the Norse god of law. 

    But he was still a bit of a jerk in changing the rules on Keichi at the last minute, and demanding Keichi perform a miracle, and all.

    I'm not surprised. Most players prefer games which are fun before games which are realistic. I wasn't complaining.

    People have complained about games that try to be realistic not being realistic. On the points that they were more realistic then other games. IIRC there is even a tv tropes page.

    My favorite monocle gag was from "Young Frankenstein," where the town constable (or whatever his rank was) wore a monocle on top of a patch over an eye.

    Well it is kind of hard to top Mel Brooks.

    As long as he gets a top hat as well.

    Isn't the Bowler hat more of a British stereotype?

    To Edward it is. I can hardly wait to find out how Edward is going to fake a Cheerleadra sighting. I think we can rely on one thing, though: Whatever it is, Elliot will somehow screw the whole thing up.

    I'm also wondering if "Ronin" will play a part--Tony's nerdy sidekick who started the rumor about Elliot being gay. Ronin hasn't seen Cheerleadra (that we know of) but it's canon that Ronin did see Elliot punch the bloodgrem (or in Ronin's immortal words, "the evil American monkey") into oblivion.

    I would not be surprised if someone posted a video online of Elliot transforming from Mall Date form to Cheerledra. It was probably caught by at least 1 security camera, and would likely make Mr. Veres job allot easier, as they simply need to claim that tat is the face of Cheerledra, and possibly plant some fake ID info somewhere like the DMV (say listing a "recently" destroyed building as "her" address) and slip it and the video to Carol.

    As long as there is something about Preston being an idiot. 

    I once had a Minutemen quest to turn in, and ended up having to take 2 new quests in order to do so. 

    • Quest says talk to Preston to complete
    • Talk to Preston, new quest
    • Talk to Preston, new quest
    • Talk to Preston, clear first quest

    "What'chu talkin' about Sarah?"

     

    And it seems someone knows Elliot as Dave. XD

    He probably calls everyone Dave, like how the robot in Clone High called everyone Wesley (at least in the first episode, can not recall if they kept it up beyond that). 

    Though this is not surprising considering the "That's what that guy's name is?" comment on the page after Voltaire's mike/name drop

    EDIT : Though I was expecting there is be a hesitance to link Elliot with Cheerledra due to people outright rejecting the possability that the hot heroine is a man, from the guys so they can fantasize about dating her, and from girls as it would be a women's liberation setback

    It didn't seem like Sarah had been approached at any point that we saw her with Susan. I'm wondering if the main reason no one has approached any of them about Elliot is because of all the fuss they made about Elliot being gay the week before. Maybe everyone at MSHS learned to not jump to conclusions based on rumour.

    She has been in all of 1 page since getting to school which was at the beginning of the day as it relates to Ellen and Diane's conversation. 

    We have yet to see how her day went. 

     

    Also, high schools are rumor mills. they learned nothing.

    Is it bad I half expect the only one who will be questioned is Sarah?

    Ok ashley probably looks approachable as well, but she kicked a soccer ball at a rampaging griffon, they have to be intimidated a bit by THAT.
