Talk:Nikola Tesla and You

Trivia Section Added
After receiving one of my Christmas presents today (a lava lamp, which is awesome), I decided to research on how the process within the lamp occurs. From that wikipedia page, I moved along to Plasma Lamp, and to my surprise, a familiar name popped up. Nikola Tesla. Coincidentally, I was also on the Nikola Tesla and You page here already, how's that for a turn up for the books :P. I have placed a small trivia section underneath the listings of the locations (as clearly it is less important than where to locate the books), so as to give some insight into the game and its creation somewhat. Also please note, I am unsure if i have spelt characetures correctly, firefox says it is not, but google doesnt offer possible variants. --HoZKiNZ 18:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Book unreachable near SatCom Array NW-05a
>> SatCom Array NW-05a: At the Raider camp south (?) of the tower.

I have a 360 and I can't pick this one. There should be a Mini-Nuke in the blue boat that doesn't appear. There's only the Stealth boy as mentioned, a whisky bottle and a glass on the roof, plus all the normal loot (I suppose all) in the raiders camp on the peer.

Entering the boat shows the book stuck in the ceiling. Highlighting it doesn't work, it seems that it is part of the roof. Throwing grenades move it but it's still stuck. If I throw grenades in the water at the front of the boat, the Mini-Nuke explodes but I have no damage - in fact it explodes inside the boat walls.

Other strange things seem to happen in this place with random events. On three instances (reloads), I had first a Grayditch inhabitant complaining about fire ants (killed by the raiders) but Grayditch is completely at the opposite on the map, then Uncle Leo (also killed by the raiders), then two Brotherhood of Steel soldiers with a bot (they killed the raiders but were killed by a giant radscorpion). One of the soldiers was using a Gatling Laser, which is nice for me at the point where I am in the game.

This happened to me also but on the PC version. It was inside the roof and only a corner of the book was barely visible from the inside looking up. I was able to grab it by turning off clipping and being inside the roof almost level with the book. --Jam287 12:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

He was not Serbian-born
I was led here from Wikipedia, and I can say with 100% certainty that he was not born in Serbia. He was an ethnic Serb born in the part of Austria-Hungary that is now Croatia. I'm going to change the article now. On Wikipedia, my userpage is at User:Saimdusan. 124.185.10.172 03:28, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

book was on top of boat for me (also 360), get on top of it by jumping from rocks near front end of boat.

Superfluous Information
Yes Nikola Tesla invented the Plasma Lamp and supposedly made a death ray, but are any of these relevant? Tesla invented a LOT of things, and I see no reason why these two deserve mention above his others. Either we should include every invention (which would be ridiculous) or simply like to his wiki-page. I'm taking down these references; if anyone objects, feel free to post so here and revert the edit until a consensus can be reached. Techercizer (say hi)(pwnage) 02:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with this. The occasional bit of trivia is fun for most categories but we really don't need a biography of Tesla, especially since it somehow has generated a fair bit of disagreement.  Best to just link to his wikipedia entry and let them deal with it; we'll stick with game-related facts.

Location Comfirmation
My GF and I can confirm the Capitol Building copy of the book, and that it's behind a locked door reachable from the West entrance.

False information
Buying the themes over and over again does not cause skill books to respawn, I've tested this and so has Livingston.
