This is not exactly the best time in the month for that, because I have deadlines over the next two days – but, hey, who asked me? …Then again, this DLC is likely to interfere with my usual Queen of the Girl Scouts play style, so I may be not as involved. I do have to remind myself that there are people who missed the old karma system from Fallout 3…
[UPDATE] I may end up getting something up my nose over the entire slave collar thing. I have a problem with stuff like that.
This is apparently several years old, but it doesn’t matter. It’s very good and I wouldn’t understand it all if I hadn’t been playing Fallout New Vegas for the last month. Still, the production values on this are seriously impressive.
Note: I don’t want to make the games harder, I don’t want to destroy my frame rate, and I do like my surroundings just a little less dead and desolate. With all that in mind: suggestions welcome. Fallout 3‘s habit of long distances between fast-travel points is particularly annoying, as is the pre-4 version of VATS. But I gather that I’m not the first to say those things.
40% off a bunch of titles, including Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. I’ve been meaning to grab both, so: cool. The sale’s also happening on Amazon, so feel free to click those links. Also: if you haven’t grabbed Skyrim yet, twenty-five bucks for the whole shebang is frankly a steal.
Two books that don’t really go well together, or indeed together at all: but apparently Amazon decided to toss the two items together and deliver them at the same time. Which is fine. Efficient, even.
I might actually watch this, because I’m curious about whether this is going to get integrated into the main Fallout game. Also, where it’s going to get integrated. There are a couple of places on the map where it’d be useful to have a settlement, particularly if you’re playing Survival Mode which I have no intention of doing any time soon. I find that waiting to buy combat damage upgrades is giving me all the workout that I need, really… Continue reading First look at Fallout: Vault-Tec Workshop on Tuesday.
Executive summary: Two workshop expansions (armor/weapon racks and I don’t care about the rest, and build your own Vault because why the heck not?), a let’s-dance-around-the-Mouse’s-lawyers DLC (‘Nuka World’), something about Fallout Shelter yadda yadda yadda, and… remastered Skyrim.

Not quite my play-through, but fairly close. Worth. Every. Second.
Turns out the world is a lot less crapsack when you have energy weapons. And is that not true in real life, as well? Plus, I figured out that you’re supposed to punch the Q button in combat and then line up your goram shots. My die-to-not-die ratio corrected itself a good bit after I discovered that, let me tell you…
I’ve just not had any time to do so. Which is weird, because I’ll be blessed if I can figure out what I did today that was more involved than going out to lunch with my wife. Now, admittedly, if I have a choice between a nice lunch with my wife and playing a videogame, I’m going to go with lunch – but we weren’t out for that long.
Again, weird. Continue reading …At some point, I might actually get to play Fallout 4.
