Case in point, one of my Wifes coworkers is convinced that New Vegas was, seriously, an expansion pack that settles on top of Fallout 3 and you play the same character.

He will not hear or see any conflicting evidence.

That's...not an opinion, though.
He's making a statement intended to evoke objective, irrefutable fact. (And the statement is objectively, irrefutably wrong.)

Point out that you don't need Fallout 3 to play it and it's the same length and your
Fallout 3 characters aren't importable (presumably).

EDIT: Are you sure it's not ironic in that he feels it wasn't enough of an advancement on the concept and so calls it "an expansion pack"?

I am sadly sure that he is being very honest, and like I said, he will hear or see no evidence.

He also thinks dry-erase markers can't be cleaned with liquid, this one stated while cleaning dry erase off our D&D mat after spilling a soda on it.

So wtf.

It's incredibly close, but at the moment I'm of the opinion to give it to Gunbuster because I feel Gunbuster has far more emotional impact and has had a much more long-term effect on Gainax's robot shows.

Sounds like he takes things too literally. Just explain that dry erase means you don't NEED liquid, but liquid actually works better than just a plain dry cloth if there's an accumulation of it. It's not water-proof just because it's dry-erase.

I know, create an entire D&D scenario around dry erase...chalk that his wizard character has to clean with...liquid...aqua vitae, because there's a large accumulation of chalk dust and the entire party is choking to death on it and--

Okay that sounds like too much trouble, just kill his D&D character off unfairly so he leaves and never comes back.

Black Belt should totally had come back to life...

I enjoyed Fallout 3 more than New Vegas. A lot of the criticism are true, but in New Vegas, from the outset there were paths you literally couldn't take without getting your head ripped off. It was fairly realistic that I shouldn't be able to go that way because certain monsters might group in certain areas, but it's a roleplaying sandbox game, and if I want to go north, I'd like to have that as a reasonable option. The rest of the game very well be better but when a game annoys me that close to the beginning it just dampens the rest of the experience.

I don't find Lady Gaga attractive, but I am more partial to brunettes than blondes anyway. I do understand the appeal of her music, although I think she's a better artist when she ditches the outfits and autotune. Also her videos. Dear goodness, her videos once had meaning but the stuff she does these days just seems like it's trying to be controversial for the sake of it.

She lost me at the mirrored space vaginas.

You can TOTALLY go north. It's just harder.

I've done it before.

Once I even ran into a cazador that had somehow been bugged into being immortal. Couldn't even use console to make it killable. Still knocked that bitch out and walked past him.

Edit: Cut out a lot of the main quest line, though.
