Questions on Milk Kefir Grains
- From Marybeth at 3/8/2012 12:23 PM
- When rehydrating the grains what is meant by "partially sealed" container?
- A partially sealed container could be a jar with a lid placed on top, but not screwed on; a coffee filter or dish towel over the top and secured by a rubber band; anything that covers the jar opening but allows gases to escape is acceptable.

- I am rehydrating my milk grains. Do they have to be rinsed off when you change out the milk? Also, is a week long enough to do this? I have them in the milk for 24 hours at a time. Then it starts to separate. Is this ok? I will stir it and leave it for the full 24 hours, then change out the milk. Please advise. Thanks.
- There is no need to rinse the grains between batches. The rehydration process can take anywhere from 4-7 days. If separation occurs, stir the curds and whey together before straining. You should strain the grains as soon as it thickens, and start increasing the milk. So if you were using 1 cup of milk, and that thickened before 24 hours was up, give the grains 1 1/2 cups of milk. If that cultures before 24 hours is up, again strain and give it 2 cups of milk. And so on. After several days of increasing the milk and it successfully culturing the milk, you can consider it rehydrated if the kefir also looks and smells good, clean, and perhaps even sour! If you need further assistance, please contact customer support.

- My kefir wouldn't stain through the strainer so I stirred lightly with a wooden spoon. Now I don't see my grains. Did I damage them?
- Straining the grains shouldn't cause any damage. If the kefir is thick or has separated, gently stir before straining to thin the kefir and loosen the grains. You can also dilute it with a bit of fresh milk to help. Then use a fine mesh strainer to make sure you catch the smaller grains, working the kefir through the strainer gently using a wooden or plastic utensil. Contact Customer Support for more assistance.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From lily at 4/3/2012 10:20 PM
- Do you not need to warm the milk first for the kefir grains? The cultures recommend heating first.
- It is not necessary to heat the milk if you are using milk kefir grains. If you are using the powdered kefir starter, the milk would be gently and slowly heated (70° to 75°) to help in even distribution of the powder.

- Did I "kill" the good stuff in my raw goat's milk by freezing it? I purchased 1 gal. at a time and freeze 2 qts since I drink aprox. half gal. a week. Can I use the frozen (thawed milk) for kefir? Tried Kefir Starter product which did not produce well at all - very bad tasting. Want to buy good grains and make my own ASAP!
- We have a lot of customers making yogurt and kefir with frozen - thawed goat's milk. A few people report an altered flavor but the flavor can change when the goat's diet changes too. Studies show differences of opinion about the slight loss of nutrients when freezing raw milk but it certainly won't "kill all the good stuff."

- My kefir seems to be going straight from milk to curds and whey after about 12 hours. I have not been able to find a thickened in between stage. Thank you!
- The jump from thickened milk to curds and whey can happen very rapidly if you're using a small amount of milk or the temperature is warm. If you have recently rehydrated your grains, it could be that the grains are ready for more milk. If an increase in the amount of milk doesn't solve the problem, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be able to help you resolve the issue.

- From Amy Richards Realty at 4/30/2012 1:08 PM
- Can you make kefir with lactose free milk? It does not sound like it...
- Lactose free milk usually does contain lactose, but it also contains lactase, an enzyme that helps lactose-intolerant individuals digest the lactose. Check the label; if you see lactase, the milk does contain lactose and may be used to culture milk kefir. However, many lactose-free milks are ultra-pasteurized, which does not work well for culturing.

- Less tart Review by Carrie
Value Quality Price
This kefir is less tart than they grains I had used for 8 years. I had trouble getting them going at first but persisted, with help from CFH and it works now. I don't see the gelatinous cottage cheese like grains with this kefir, the grains are more blended in with the kefir so I'm not sure how much they will multiply. Overall, good stuff!

I am so glad that I purchased the Milk Kefir Grains. I have Kefir in my home every single day so I never have to buy it from the store. I never knew there were so many ways to use Kefir. This is well worth the money...and the health benefits! So happy am I!

- Very Good Product Review by Louise
Value Quality Price
We have always had two goats for our own milk products - When I heard
about Kefir - I thought it sounded like a good idea - certainly worth trying.
We ordered the grains from you and we were very happy with how quickly
they worked and how super easy it is! We live on a farm and have lots
of fresh fruit in season and with the extra we can or freeze. We like to
whiz the fruit in our Vita Mix and put the Kefir in - oh boy, that is gooood.
We just can't seem to get enough of it! We haven't even been making cheese because we like the kefir better.

- It couldn't be easier! Review by Stu
Value Quality Price
I've always enjoyed kefir, and after a recent colonoscopy (nuff said)you really are starting with a clean slate, so to speak. I wanted to populate my system with probiotics, but didn't want to pay $4 a qt. The small investment in kefir grains has rewarded us with an endless supply of kefir. It took a bit to get them started, but a few minutes on the chat line produced great kefir the very next batch. I have a small Styrofoam cooler, similar to an Omaha Steak style cooler, very dense, which I retrieved from the recycling depot. A quart of water inside the cooler provides enough heat to incubate a batch in about 12hrs. The grains have multiplied in numbers( not size) to where I can share some soon. Thanks for providing such a reliable product.

- Great quality Review by Zacky
Value Quality Price
I already had kefir grain from Cultures For Health. This order was to give as a gift to my mother who lives in France. Since the grains had to travel by plane, I preferred ordering a proper commercial sealed packaging and an invoice rather than sending her home with some of my fresh ones. Her grains activated perfectly. She couldn't be happier.
The only thing that could have been better is he shipping cost (to Canada). It is double of what the kefir grains cost, making basically that teaspoon of grains a whopping 49$. This size a package,from the US, could certainly cost much less. I have to say though, silver lining, that the shipping is very fast.
I would still order from Cultures for Health (I need to add the Viili to my cultures) for it's difficult to beat that quality and variety of cultures, not to mention the great customer service.
Note from CFH: Due to the perishable nature of our products, shipping options to Canada are limited at this time, to protect the viability of the cultures.

- Inconsistent quality Review by Cathy
Value Quality Price
This is the second batch of kefir grains purchased from CfH. The grains make super kefir that we enjoy drinking every day. The packet of grains that was most recently purchased contained about 5x more grains than the packet from our first purchase about a year ago. In rehydrating the grains, we had good kefir in 2 days. The packet purchased a year ago took close to 2 weeks of the rehydration process before getting good kefir. Don't understand such inconsistent quality.
Response from CFH: Please contact customer support with any culturing concerns. Live cultures can respond quite differently depending on ingredients, temperature, and culturing environment.

After 8 days I'm getting 2 cups of kefir. The taste is great without anything in it. I used Chat several times with questions during my re-hydrating process and they gave me just the information I needed.
Also, in our 62-64 degree home, they gave me the great tip to place kefir on something like a DVR. We don't have a DVR, but we do have a battery (UPS)for our computer. I put kefir jar in a milk carton, secured to the wall to protect the electronics from a possible spill.

It took a while to find the right milk, but now I have and all is going well and it's a very good product. My low mark regarding price is that I find 30$ shipping a little bit steep for shipping in Canada. There is one distributor here of your product, they only carry water kefir so I'm not taking business away from them.

- Satisfied the Second Time Around Review by Doris
Value Quality Price
This is my second try at this kefir product. The first time it did not work within 24 hrs, no matter what I did. It took like 45 hrs. Anyway, my husband built an incubator with a constant temp. of 80 degrees, using an enclosure and light bulb arrangement. I did get new granules and used whole milk and it started working within 24 hrs. Now, after about 8 - 9 times of making the kefir, I no longer have to incubate it, but can just leave it sit on the counter and it still works within 24 hrs. What I have noticed is that the granules are somewhat larger and I really think the first time around that I just did not get enough granules to make it work at room temp.

I have spent some considerable time reading about Kefir and how to make it. There is a knack to it and now that I am started, it is just a matter of routine. I think that the number of grains could be less stingy but I am gradually building up my "stock". The price is a little steep but in all fairness, the free Ebooks are an added bonus if they work. Not been able to get on yet.

I've had my first packet of grains going for about two weeks and they are growing fast and producing tasty kefir daily from whole pasteurized milk. I think they compare very well with 'live' or 'fresh' grains. Very satisfied.
Note from CFH: Our grains are alive, but dehydrated at low temperature and packaged in organic powdered milk to keep them healthy and fed. We dehydrate to keep the grains free from contaminants, and safe and stable for shipping.

- Loving it! Review by NavyWifeArmyMom
Value Quality Price
I've been using Cultures for Health yogurt starter for a couple of years & wNted to try keifer. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, so I bought a bottle of strawberry keifer at the grocery store - I was hooked! Ordered my keifer grains and went to work! I had to experiment with milk fat levels, decided pure skim milk was not the best choice. Tried half skim/half whole milk - still not the best. Finally decided to go with whole milk, & haven't looked back! Have been experimenting with different flavors also. So far my very favorite is Pumpkin Spice Keifer (generous amount of pure pumpkin), dash or two of pumpkin pie spice, a splash of maple syrup &/or caramel sauce for depth of flavor, and a splash of organic evaporated cane juice to taste - DELICIOUS!! I've also made Green Tea Keifer using matcha powder & honey for sweetener, as well as various fruits made in the blender as keifer smoothies. Next up: Caramel Apple Keifer using unsweetened applesauce, a dollop of caramel sauce, and a dash of two of apple pie spice!!
Totally pleased with everything I've purchased from this company - excellent quality and wonderful customer service!!

- Reliable grains, Good value Review by Daniel
Value Quality Price
The milk kefir grains I received from cultures for health have been extremely reliable and multiply quite quickly. They are definitely a good value because of the high price of store bought kefir. The only issue I have with them is that the kefir I get from them is "curdy". No matter what I do it never has the thick smooth texture of store bought kefir. It always comes out with very small curds throughout the thin kefir. Some of the best vegetable ferments I have made have been from extra kefir grains or kefir whey.
CFH Note~ The most common cause of a "grainy" texture (tiny curds in the kefir) is an imbalance in the ratio of kefir grains to milk. Removing some of the grains or increasing the volume of milk usually resolves the issue. Please contact Customer Support if you are having any problems, we are very happy to help.

- Turned out pretty darn good Review by Sarah C
Value Quality Price
I wasn't sure about these grains when I started using them; I feel like it took several batches of milk for the grains to re-hydrate, but now I get delicious kefir. There is an article on this site about choosing the right milk for culturing, which was pretty helpful. I've decided that although I love to drink non-homogenized milk, I don't really like it cultured. The value of these grains is huge--a bottle of kefir is crazy expensive, and although good, organic milk is as well, it's not nearly as much as the finished product. I'm trying water kefir grains next.

I worked at D&B full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
- Work from home several days a week
- Competitive salary
- Career growth and maneuvering possibilitiesCons
- financial flexibility (lay-offs) touted as core strength of the company. Lay-offs every year in every department for 10 straight years, regardless of performance of the employee. I saw multiple extremely competent people laid off who had been there over 30 years. Just so CEO could keep her bonus.
- CEO / GLT only care about meeting the bottom line so their bonus stays put. And the bottom line only meets expectations by laying people off (no revenue growth).
- Culture of lay-offs puts everyone on edge, looking out for themselves at all times. Highly political environment. Lots of secrets and very poor communication.

Havahart® Deer Off® enables you to repel deer and other nuisance critters effectively so you can eliminate the damage they are causing to your property.
Deer Off® stops deer, rabbits and squirrels in their tracks with 3X more repelling power than other deer repellent products.
Exclusive to Deer Off®, our patented formula features a unique, dual-action deterrent system that effectively repels deer, rabbits and squirrels by targeting their keen sense of BOTH scent and taste.
Scent:Putrescent egg, a professionally tested and proven ingredient for repelling nuisance animals, mimics the scent of a dead animal. Signaling that a predator is nearby, this distinct smell triggers an animal's flight response and they leave the treated area immediately. A putrescent egg repellent also discourages animals from making a return visit.
Taste: Spicy garlic and hot capsaicin are well-known taste deterrents that cause irritation when an animal tries to eat the treated area. This second line of defense creates a physical reaction which conditions deer, rabbits, and squirrels to stay away.
Long-Lasting Yard and Garden Deer Repellent Formula
Known for our long-lasting, weather-resistant formula, DeerOff® protects your plants and landscaping for up to 3 months with just one application. This means you don't need to buy or reapply as frequently as other repellent brands. This saves you time and money so you can enjoy your yard instead of dealing with the inconvenience of re-spraying.
For all-around critter protection, use both of our deer repeller products together!
100% GuaranteedDeerOff® is a natural deer repellent that is OMRI-listed and approved for organic gardening. Designed to be used around kids and pets, you can protect your yard with Deer Off® and be worry free!
AND best of all, we standby our DeerOff® product with a 100% money-back guarantee!
Fight back against nuisance rabbits, squirrels and deer. Repel them the easy and humane way with Havahart® Deer Off®!

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
having windows 7 issues.
when i move the task bar to the top of the screen it is thick and fat.... it is double the average width. like 2 "layers". and the reason why is because now the date shows underneath the clock.
i don't like this!!
i already made sure that the properties are set for the taskbar to show only small icons. nothing.
and i even changed the notifications properties to not show anything at all in the system tray and all it did was make it all blank, still fat and 2 layers wide.
here's the weird part: when i move the taskbar to the BOTTOM its skinny and perfect. just how i want it. no date. but when moved back to the top its fat again. HELP!!
how do i keep the skinny taskbar even at the top??
screenshot: http://i51.tinypic.com/2q8awco.png
i tried to just drag it smaller. it will not allow me to do that and the task bar is NOT locked. i can only make it even bigger but no smaller than the 2 layers.

good book, I enjoyed, quick read
Quick, cute, fairly predictable. But isn't that part of what we love aout her books? Overall I did enjoy it!
A classic Amanda Quick historical romance. Cute, sweet and very much like all of her other historicals. You always know exactly what you're getting when you pick up one of these books!
I just love Amanda Quick's novels. I know exactly what I'm getting and I'm never disappointed. There is the extremely clever heroine who is just a touch past the proper marriageable age. There is the dashing hero who will never marry. There is an issue that must be solved which requires the two work together. She drives him crazy with the risks she takes. He drives her crazy because he wants her to play it safe. They fall in love.

Nov 15, 2011User Score, Y U are so low? Fallout is greatest CRPG ever. You can play it for 500 hours and still discover new things (like i did). Amazing storyline, amazing characters, amazing gameplay!
Oct 10, 2010The greatest Computer Role-Playing Game, in my opinion. It mixes a great atmosphere with awesome stat building, story, role-playing and character design. The creators of this went on to make Arcanum (Fallout 2 was by a different team) so if you liked Fallout (the first one) you will probably like Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura too. I highly recommend this game if you like Western RPGs.
Jul 4, 2011This game is extremely fun. Who cares how old it is or the graphics. This is the game that started it all. This is Fallout, a game where you control your destiny through epic quests, allies, and weapons.
Aug 5, 2011This game is a bit older and a lot of things that are unforgivable now days were back then, yes it sucked when you died and you hadn't saved, and it is a pain to walk everywhere, I just found people or objects and clicked them for faster travel. (I think there was a run always option?) I had to sign up because some people think this is Fallout 3 and somehow think that the 3 after Fallout means nothing...
This game is awesome, it does have re-playability that faulted a bit in the second game. Power armor has gone from overly powerful to almost regular type armor through the fallout series. I beat this game 3 times and played a different type character each time. I first played as the heavy on guns guy and ran through blazing. (It's been years since I've played) I did off the wall things in some towns which later towns referenced back to, it didn't make a huge impact on the story line but I thought it was really amusing they 'heard of my activity'
Second I played a character who was high in social and outdoor skills and talked my way out of everything and if I couldn't talk I used my outdoor skills to evade fights. Towards the end when I had to fight I got some power armor and was instantly almost as strong and capable as someone who had been made for fighting. Some people will probably see this as bad balancing but I liked that I was able to make it through most the game without a single fight and when I had to fight I had a scapegoat.
This is my all time favorite RPG… Expand
Jun 13, 2012This is a game my generation of gamers will talk about for decades. A work of art among video games, that even with it's dated graphs looks great, and delivers a satisfying experience.
Mar 11, 2011Played it right after finishing fallout 2. Simply awesome, but it was missing some stuff added in fallout 2 like npc customization, npc leveling and others ...

Oct 5, 2012Timeless Classic. This game still has the best inventory system seen in gaming. In what subsequent game have players felt the need to keep a baseball bat to use once they ran out of bullets for their single, rusting gun? Great character development. GREAT writing, great plots great NPCs Great humour. I think that nostalgia blurs people's vision somehow. Great though this game was it never had the kind of glorious atmosphere you can get in Fallout 3 listening to the in-game radio station. Thus 9/10 rather than 10. It's ridiculous to pretend that more recent games haven't offered more and better highs than this game.… Expand
Mar 18, 2013An amazing game that stands up to the test of time. I'm mostly writing this review to correct a few issues I saw one of the negative reviews had made: that there were no alternate ammo types, damage types, or upgrades for weapons and armour. All of those are in the game. The world is large and free to roam, and the decision to have soft preventative measures other than hard ones makes the game much more immersive. (With one exception, which is a guy with infinite HP.)
The combat is amazing from a gamist point of view, though Fallout 2 improves it arguably at the cost of the perfect atmosphere and connected feeling environments that Fallout has.
The alternate paths the player can take, from a pacifist run where you directly kill no NPCs, to a berserk run where you kill all the wasteland's inhabitants you meet. And both can finish the game. The freedom of action and character building go perfectly hand in hand.
If you've not played this game yet, and had the time to read all of this, just go and play it!… Expand
Feb 20, 2012A tough as nails RPG that will kill you at the drop of a hat, It never feels overly difficult, just difficult like a lot of old games, maybe it's just because I'm not very familiar with this kind of game, I bought it in the Fallout Trilogy pack because Fallout 3 maybe my favorite game of all time, and I wasn't disappointed with the world and atmosphere of the game, and the story is pretty good but I doubt I'll ever see the end of it due to the fact that I suck at this, still if your like me and liked Fallout 3 and want to see where it began this is a good purchase.… Expand
Mar 18, 2011My one real problem with Fallout is that I don't think the game has aged as well as other games like it. At the time of it's release by far the best game of the year. But the graphics aged badly and frankly the interface is cumbersome. However, I think the introduction video/cutscene remains the best ever created to this day in terms of creating an ambiance and setting the mood of the game. The story is great too. Voice acting, ditto.
If you can get around the control issue and the graphics, this is an awesome game.… Expand
Apr 10, 2011This is not only a game
This is the best adventure ever !!!
Really the athmosphere is great the scenario just gets u really fast...
The difficulty is pretty high if u dont save that often its mostly the same over and over again ^^ but if u like to save often this is the best...
My favorite Game of all time!!!!!
(beside the 2nd part) wich is equally or good or even better
(3rd part sux) (too easy)

Sep 17, 2012This game was awesome when it came out in 1997, although only 2D it felt like playing a comic book. The combat system was great too, so good it's survived and made it into Fallout 3. The story was also great, and wandering the world was fun,
Jan 12, 2012I remember booting up the old pentium 200mhz rig and playing this for days on end as a kid. This game brought the RPG genre out of the dungeons and into the wastes. There was nothing like it back then. Dunno if kids these days would appreciate it just because the graphics are very dated. But if you can see past that a very enjoyable game awaits! 10/10.
Jun 14, 2012This game is very good. Story is cool, and the gameplay is fun. Yes its nothing like fallout 3. But what do you expect?
Aug 12, 2012This is one of the best, if not the best, roleplaying games out there. It came as close as possible to being a pen-and-paper experience - with the ability to craft your own character the way you *want*, without choices being forced on the player. There are a few quirks in the system, and it's certainly not as big as the sequel, but the non-linearity. interesting plot and backstory make up for it. Try this game as soon as possible - you won't be disappointed.… Expand
Apr 23, 2012This is a really good game, a beginning to the best post-apocalyptic series out there. I can't complain about the graphics, this is indeed a good game. Combat is ok, and exploring the wasteland is pretty cool.
Jul 26, 2012Being a huge fan of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas I thought I would play the first game. It was very different from the other two but is still an amazing game even when it was made. If you love Fallout try Fallout 1. Fallout 9.4/10
Aug 4, 2014Really for uber nostalgia gaming buffs, due to the fact FO has not aged at all well. It is a very slow paced turn based post apocalyptic sci/fi themed RPG. The logic and design behind FO gave me more than one facepalm moment. Watching your team A.I. kill your own team by mistake. Seeing that two karate kicks to the face takes less action points than pulling just a trigger once. The fist foot way is truly faster than an itchy trigger finger LMAO. Plus the fact your team A.I. can can do upto three to four actions to your one. Watching everyone else do the takedowns is most unsatisfying to say the least. Lot to like about this old game, but a lot to find annoying about it too. Sadly this won't run out of the box on most moderns systems too. I use the alpha mod FIXT these days just for ease of use to get it running better on modern systems. A great game "for its time", but that day has long since passed.… Expand
Jan 11, 2013This game is amazing even 16 years after release this game still rocks its a must play for everyone except those kids who cant see the beauty in an older game because it doesn't have the graphics like CoD(which are **** btw). anyway if you never played this game you just have to, go to gog.com and buy yourself a digital drm-free copy(it was even free for a few days). and if you want you can get the Fallout-FIXT mod which improves the game and fixes a lot of bugs.… Expand
Jul 10, 2013I've noticed the steady downhill slide of civilization Fallout 3 is rated higher than Fallout 1. This epic RPG deserves at least 9.5. I recommend this masterpiece all the gamers who can appreciate the qualities of the old isometric RPGs like Planescape: Torment or Baldur's gate. Fans of Gothic 1,2 should like it too.
Apr 19, 2013OH! How i indeed love nostalgia! I dont even need to talk about this games history or anything of that nature. Instead ill just say, I love Fallout! The whole series, and this game is what started it all! Love the role playing element within the game. The story, and everything! Buut..most of all...the ATMOSPHERE! The atmosphere this game deveivers is simply something you rarely find in video games of today! This game is revolutionary and nostalgic to me in all ways! Long live Fallout!… Expand
Jan 13, 2014Great game and great RPG.
+good story and atmosphere, dialogues and voice acting, good characters, freedom, creepy at times :) , blood and gore are nice touch to combat (its fun to shoot people and watch the effects)
Nov 12, 2013One of the absolute all time classic RPGs. Fallout had a shape all of its own with a great system, characters, idea and story. Fantastic old school top down RPG, if not THE best.
Jul 15, 201215 years on and this is still an amazing game, though the user score on here is shocking, some reviews on here are made by people who simply didn't give the game a chance.Yes there are bugs, there are also fixes, the only bug in the current version I found is the colour which is an incredibly easy fix.
One of the best games I've ever played, you will get used to the controls after a short time and if you pay the slightest bit of attention to the storyline you won't care about the fact that the graphics are 15 years old, give it a chance.
If you get stuck there's no shame in looking at a guide to set you back on the right track, if a section is too tough, there's no shame in turning down the difficulty, don't vote it low based on the fact that you couldn't work something out or that it took you too long to complete.… Expand
Jan 8, 2013I'm still a bigger fan of Fallout 2, but this one is its predecessor so I understand that my favorite game won't be without the first part and so I love it too. The game is poorly balanced, buggy, but it has that unique atmosphere, multiple ways of quest solving, memorable characters and locations, great story, nice roleplay system (though most of the skills are useless). So all of this made this game CULT back in 1997. And now in 2013 you can still play it and enjoy it, it's truly a classic game and a musthave for any CRPG fan.
P.S. Half of the negative reviews contain the comparison to Oblivion. So I make the conclusion that the people who wrote them didn't even knew that they were playing Fallout 3, not the original. And it's kinda sad.… Expand
Dec 2, 2013Second RPG PC game i ever played (after dungeon master) and funny is that no other game had so good atmosphere like this game. Almost every part of this game is perfect. Must own for every RPG fan and truly legendary game.
Dec 21, 2013One of the all time greatest games ever made. This game would have an average user score of at least 9.3, but some jacka**es apparently can't tell the difference between the first Fallout and Fallout 3.
Feb 13, 2013I remember getting this when it was new. This game really did change things. The graphics, the combat, the theme, back then it was all mostly a new revolutionary idea. It pains me to see how recent gamers hold this up to Oblivion. That's almost criminal. Judging an old game by current standards is just idiotic and not really a testament to what the game was really like in its prime. Fallout was just a marvel and I loved it to bits. I was also utterly surprised that Kevin Bacon's voice was in it (check the credits, he's there.) Overall: This is the game that changed the face of western RPGs forever, while it is a little rough around the edges, even at the time, it still is a great game, worthy of respect!… Expand
Mar 13, 2013the only negative aspect of this game is; it is too short for a rpg this good in every way possible (about 20 hours). thank god there is a fallout 2 which lasts more than 60 hours, and has an infinite amount of replayibility.
Dec 5, 2013This game has too many strong qualities to adequately list them all. Atmospheric, darkly humorous, with memorable characters, meaty RPG elements, and possibly the best and most satisfying videogame ending of all time. Sixteen years on, the original Fallout remains the best entry in the franchise. No subsequent entry has been able to adequately reproduce the magic or improve the formula.
Jul 22, 2013The definitive post apocalyptic experience that is yet to be topped. A dark, bleak and eerie atmosphere largely contributed by Mark Morgan's ambient soundtrack. The world feels hauntingly real and immersive. Fantastic characters and locations, each with their own feel and atmosphere to it. A relatively simple, but unforgettable and compelling plot and story, including one of the most memorable antagonists ever.
The isometric, real time and turn based combat gameplay works perfectly. My only main gripe is the lack of companion controls. Meaning I can't have companions hold excess loot without having to sell to them and having to buy it back.
Regardless, Fallout stands as the best Fallout as it has the best written story, atmosphere and game world.… Expand
Aug 2, 2013I grew up playing this fantastic turn-based RPG game, i loved it then, I still love It now.
although I could never remember what to do/where to go as a child I can return to it and finish it in a few days if i perch myself on my chair like an eagle.
Well done, well designed, Game of the Year forever in my heart.
Aug 28, 2013Greatest RPG of all time. Best writing of all time. Best voice-acting of all time. Also ,my review must apparently be at least 150 characters long for some reason.
Sep 2, 2013This game is wonderfull and full of suprises.It has his own unique character that will let you escape from the usual boring medieval games.It has humor without being ridiculus.And when you use your weapons to destroy someone you feel a very satisfying bloodthirsty ecstasy.Ah and it is one of the best games ever made.
Sep 19, 2013Fallout an all time RPG-game. The series that made me start it so many times and hardly ever finishing it. Good story, great characters, brilliant hypnotizing soundtrack, the atmosphere that no 3D game can hardly cover. The all time classic.
Nov 6, 2013The Fallout series opened my eyes to games, before i was a 6-7 year old child playing on his Game boy and hating allot of good games for no reason, Until my Father bought a windows 98 computer, I played many great titles on that computer Including the Classic Fallouts'.
I still love this game today I've played it on-and-off ever since, great game, great story-line, good characters and events over all a massive full blown-out game. 100/100 (if games where rated like that)… Expand
Aug 3, 2014War, war never changes! Excellent retro classic and one of the best cRPGs of all time, immensely influential game that aged very well and is a joy to play even today. Yes, there are a few shortcomings with companion control, few bugs, absence of a proper active quest journal, but other than that this is the ultimate masterpiece. Story, the humor, leveling up and perks, the atmosphere and the overall post-apocalyptic experience is just a pure love. Ambient soundtrack by Mark Morgan is one of the best soundtracks ever created that I play on a regular basis for the last 15 years and it's likely my most listened to OST ever. This is a must-play for... well, for anyone really, it's a milestone in computer gaming history that needs to be experienced. Rightly belongs to my TOP-5 games of all time. 10/10… Expand
Jan 14, 2014you are really missing out if you havent played this!

FO is challenging yet fun and satisfying and is still supported by a great community over at and mods that o enhance, fix and improve the Fallout experience over at "No Mutant Allowed" if you started at Fallout 3 and a fallout fan, this is must to have and a good addition to your collection and can be obtained for peanuts when on sale… Expand
Feb 17, 2014Despite its age, Fallout 1 is still a very enjoyable experience, slightly spoiled by a few bad design choices. The worst being the time limit to complete the main mission that discourages exploration, and a lack of a good quest system.
Despite its excellent writing, I also found the story to be a bit cheesy, but still a lot better than Fallout 3's story.
Overall it's a true classic, leagues better than Bethesda's Fallout, but in my opinion, not the master piece that many proclaim.… Expand
Feb 18, 2014OH MY GOD. How can anyone dislike this game? If your PC bugs out then get rid of your friggin viruses. No replay value? If you don't change the way you play it, then I guess it could seem so.
This is a top cult classic game, which rocks the socks out of any other game ever made. PERIOD.
I'd bet the reason "new kids" won't appreciate it is because they have no patience these days.
May 5, 2014Fallout is fun, has a great plot, unforgettable characters, hilarious dialogues and the choices you make really affect the whole story. Still here? Do yourself a favour and play it now!
Aug 23, 2014The first of it's series, Fallout gives you the aspect of a RPG game with high standards and graphics which I say are still good today on a lousy laptop. The atmosphere is outstanding for people new to RPG games. Where to start?
Characters look the same but they aren't. You'll always see how various the people are in this game as the graphics DON'T make the game better, the game itself does. Let your imagination strike and think about how the characters look like! Some of them have voice acting, some don't. The facial animations aren't actually animations so whatever. The storyline is the most interesting (in the point of Intellectual storyline) after Half Life Trilogy. The Great War being placed into a long timespan dating from 2030s to 2077 when the nuclear bombs started replacing the rain from the clouds. You can see, everything looks like 1960s for a reason. It's then when this thing almost happened the same back then! But didn't, which in Fallout did. The soundtrack gave the atmosphere plus points and it's great. The gameplay is awesome, based on strategy combat.
So this game marked my childhood - as everyones'. Some may agree, some may don't.… Expand
The mood is right, the graphics good, and the plot compelling. I found the tactical combat system refreshingly intelligent, and the multitude of ways you can approach the game from a stats point of make a wide variety of styles possible in the game.
This sequel to an all-time classic is one of the standout RPGs for the 1990s. [Jan 1998, p.221]
Fallout's detailed graphics, compelling plot, and intuitive gameplay should deservedly broaden its appeal beyond the hard-core role-playing game audience. Put simply, Fallout may be the best role-playing game to be released in years.

text: A mother's grief turned into a one-woman crusade to get the state to recognize July as Kidney Cancer Awareness Month.After a relentless writing campaign, Linda Cox was able to get Gov. Rod Blagojevich to sign a proclamation that is bringing more awareness to kidney cancer.Cox said it was painful to watch her 34-year-old daughter, Lori Shew of Decatur, die from the disease on Jan 18, 2005, leaving behind four children."People say they wish there was more awareness about kidney cancer, but they just wish and don't do anything about it," said Cox, 61, of Maroa. "So I decided to turn my grief into productive energy."Cox said she screamed out loud when the governor's aide, Paul Schershall, contacted her by phone and said her request would be honored. The one-time proclamation must be requested annually."It is a disease that takes thousands of lives, and there is a need to make more people aware of the symptoms and educate people on getting help early," said Abby Ottenhoff, deputy director of communications with the governor's office.Bill Bro, a kidney cancer survivor and president of the Kidney Cancer Association based in Evanston, said about 20 states have designated a kidney cancer awareness month."We are trying to get recognition about kidney cancer in all 50 states, and then it would make a pretty compelling argument to our U.S.

CIA torture report: Dianne Feinstein called its findings "shocking" and the CIA's behavior "in stark contrast to our values as a nation"
The Senate intelligence committee voted on Thursday to declassify parts of a study into the Central Intelligence Agency's use of torture on detainees suspected of terrorist activity.
Diane Feinstein of California, the committee's chairwoman commented on the study's results as "shocking" and "in stark contrast to our values as a nation."
The landmark 11-3 vote, which took place in secret session, now puts the Obama administration at the epicenter of a controversy that it has attempted to avoid for over five years.
The implications of the vote have immediate ramifications for the defendants of 9/11 terrorism charges that are detained at Guantanamo Bay.
The executive summary, findings and conclusions of a report that accuses the CIA of the execution of abusive interrogations, extra-legal detentions and so-called "renditions" of suspected terrorists to partner countries and misleading the administration and the congress about its operations.
"Torture is wrong, and we must make sure that the misconduct and the grave errors made in the CIA's detention and interrogation program never happen again," said the independent senator Angus King and the Republican Susan Collins, both of Maine in a statement announcing they would vote for partial declassification, a move that apparently cleared the path to Thursday's outcome.
The CIA believes the study to be misleading and inaccurate. Caitlin Hayden, National Security Council spokeswoman stated Thursday "The CIA, in consultation with other agencies, will conduct the declassification review." , further Hayden said, " The President has been clear that he wants this process complete as expeditiously as possible, consistent with national security, and that's what we will do."
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said, it would help the United States "return to the principle in the future that anyone who commits this crime, regardless of rank, will be called to account and perhaps criminally prosecuted".

Issa calls for HAMP repeal, punts on actual crisis
Issa, Jordan and McHenry just want to pull out of any government intervention. That's irresponsible with foreclosure rates continuing to rise.But what is infuriating is that their logic is practically unassailable at this point. And this is why HAMP was so damaging. The government ruined its own brand with a program that hurt the people it was meant to help. This is why I've said for almost a year that HAMP gravely hurt liberalism. I cannot argue with Issa and Jordan and McHenry when they say that HAMP has to go.

4 Non-Verbal Chilean Spanish Expressions: Gestures To Go Native Chilean
Jared Romey, the creator of the amazing website Speaking Latino and author of the book Speaking Chileno, gives an insight on the most important Chilean gestures.
Speaking like a local is not the whole answer to fitting in. Any culture has mannerisms and gestures that mark you as someone from around the corner, or someone from another world. Many of these gestures are so natural for locals (I am avoiding using the word natives, as non-native people often pick up the local gestures after being in the new culture for a short time), that most people will not realize that they are using gestures not understood by foreigners.
Here are a few of those gestures that you will no doubt run into (and perhaps copy!) after spending a few days in Chile.
1. Handshake, hug, 3 back-pats and another handshake
This one is obligatory and is probably the first you will learn if you're a guy. When one male greets another male friend (often after not seeing each other for a few weeks or months) the first step is a quick handshake, immediately followed into a hug (one arm below the other guy's armpit, and the other arm over his shoulder), three pats on the back using both hands, release the hug, and another quick handshake.
BONUS: To really become a native Chilean, throw in the phrase ¿Cómo estai po hueón? as you initiate the first handshake.
2. One hand cupped and covering an eye
This is a possible response when asked if your blind date, or another person, is attractive or not. It basically means the person in question was REALLY ugly, annoying, a bad catch, or all of the above.
This gesture also means that you screwed something up or that things didn't go well, for instance on an exam at school.
3. One hand straight up and down, touching your forehead in the middle a time or two (as in an axe splitting your head in half)
This means that you have a hangover. The action is similar to an axe hitting your forehead, as in a splitting headache! The Chilean idiomatic expressions andar con el hacha or andar con el hachazo has the same meaning.
4. One hand making a V using the thumb and index finger, like forming a gun with your hand, and then raising it to your mouth (index/gun finger pointing left or right)
Used to communicate that someone is full of crap, that he is basically making up a story or is lying. It also means that the person is a constant liar or is always stretching the truth.
Am I missing any native Chilean gestures here? Please let me know.
This article was an excerpt from the book Speaking Chileno: A Guide to the Spanish of Chile by Jared Romey and was first published on the Speaking Latino website, which focuses on resources to learn Spanish Slang.
