I agree with Honest Trailers: it’s… weird, having videogame movies/TV shows that don’t automatically suck. I still have to sit down and watch FALLOUT, though. Even if I did start a new campaign, dedicated around turning Sanctuary Hills into a full settlement before I even go to Concord.

Video of the Day, Hey, I Don’t Just Leave XP On The Table, Buddy edition.
Interesting FALLOUT TV clip.
There’s a lot of angry complaints out on this FALLOUT clip:
The ‘Nod to the Modders’ official FALLOUT trailer.
I’m sorry, but the ‘all the trees are dead’ aspect of the Fallout aesthetic never worked for me. I know, I know, there are so many other unrealistic things about the game, but at least those are gloriously unrealistic. That one is just unpleasant, which is why I mod in proper seasons every time I play.
…Oh, the show? Actually, it looks pretty good! I may end up having to reinstall* Fallout 4, once the modders take enough inspiration from the show to come up with some new stuff. Or once I’m just ready to play again.

*You don’t really finish Bethesda’s RPGs. You just sort of… take a year off from them, from time to time.

The Interestingly Inspiring FALLOUT series trailer.
Okay, see, this Fallout trailer actually looks a lot better. Although it had better come with a list of the mods used. Seriously, people across the planet perked up and started asking themselves, How would we get a cyclops mod to work, anyway?
…And God bless them for that.
Fallout TV show footage!
Bootleg, and I just don’t care. New Vault (Vault 33, as I understand it). I have no idea if it’s gonna suck, but… that’s the safe way to bet, right?
FALLOUT Amazon TV series drops 04/12/2024.
The open question is, will it bomb? In theory, a FALLOUT show should be the easiest damned thing in the world to produce. You spend most of your budget on flashy-looking crap, and use old sets that have been weathering in the California semi-arid wastes for decades for the rest. The plots are all Mad Social Science and unsubtle parodies of social commentary; stir in a little mild body horror and dark humor, and just go from there. This is not hard.
And yet, all sensible people are worried about this show.
Hey, guess what! Fallout’s getting a horrible TV show!
Sorry, guys. I believe that you believe. Alas, the tide of history is against you.
Ironically, I could believe the Fallout show would be good if Jonathan Nolan had a budget of eight hundred bucks and was counting on getting all his shooting done before somebody drove up to see who was kicking up all that dust at the abandoned factory. Those shoestring productions work. But when you give ’em a budget, well…

PS: Dammit, now I want to reinstall Fallout 4.

The FALLOUT: LONDON Fan Mod trailer.
Fan mods of this level of sophistication never seem to get off the ground, alas. Still: I’d play a professional version of FALLOUT: LONDON. I also give them points for using vanilla resources whenever possible. That can seriously extend development time.
Spent this evening watching Fallout YouTube videos.
