So, I’ve been alternating Fallout: New Vegas and Stranger Things.

Based on my experience so far: Fallout: New Vegas is a fairly awesome game, but I miss the advanced features in the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy. Also, sprinting. As for Stranger Things… I’m about halfway through the second episode and already I’m eagerly anticipating watching all those Bad Shadow Government people get slowly picked off, one by one. I gather that this is not an uncommon reaction?

    I haven’t gone back to check timestamps, but I’m assuming your tweet referencing 40:20 is in relation to a certain incident in a restaurant…?

    Also, I think you WILL feel bad for “Shepard” and not wish him ill.

      1. Other than that anti-grown-up-government-types sensation, which was artfully extracted from “E.T.”, boiled down, and injected directly into my spinal column by this show, I’ve gotta say — this is really grabbing me right where I didn’t know I wanted to be grabbed. Haven’t finished the final episode yet (I really want to savor each one if possible), but several reviews have pointed something out, and I think it’s worth repeating: many nostalgia trips (“Super 8”, for instance) are about, say, 1983, while “Stranger Things” seems to almost have been made in 1983. The visual effects are obviously better than your average John Carpenter flick, but everything from the title credits to the music to the staging to the MUSIC just screams “I was made in the 80’s”.

        I mean, just Nancy’s father’s glasses ALONE are enough to make me shake my head sadly, knowingly.
