War. War never changes.

Fallout 3 was one of the few games I played all the way through. My son and I have been looking forward to the Fallout 4 release for some time now.

[Ryan Ruck]

Did you play New Vegas at all? I actually ended up putting more time in that than 3 (175 hours total for New Vegas ).

Oh and my brother sent me this earlier since 4 is going to be in Boston.





He also sent me this little Easter Egg that was supposedly in New Vegas. I'm not sure where it is but I may have to put it in and see if I can find it.

[Ryan Ruck]

And for good measure...

Ooooh, I am ALL IN on Fallout 4.


New Vegas was 2010? Holy shit, it's been 5 years? Man, this time shit needs to slow the fuck down.

[Ryan Ruck]

Yep, 5 years. I really hope it's been worth the wait. I am so excited!

Unfortunately, I've only got one week of vacation time left and 3 sick days. Not sure that will be enough.

I was looking for this thread and saw my last post was in 2011 and went . Then I saw you started this thread in 2008 and went

I really didn't think it was that long ago I had made that last post! Wow. Where has the time gone?

[Ryan Ruck]

These are great! Kudos to the group for originality. Small language warning.

[MinutemanCO]

We own New Vegas. My son spent a lot of time with it a few years back. For some reason I didn't touch it. I think because he mentioned NV was technically just an extension of 3. I'll have to try it sometime.

Bethesda is doing a Twitch stream of their E3 presentation. No link, I'm watching it on my Xbox.

The new Doom being released looks badass!

They haven't gotten to Fallout 4 yet.

[Ryan Ruck]

Built in custom level builder in Doom. Has to be a first for a console game.

Called Doom Snapmap.

[Ryan Ruck]

Fallout reveal coming on now!

[Ryan Ruck]

Holy shit! Real life, working PipBoy!

[Ryan Ruck]

LOL! New smartphone game called Fallout Shelter.

You build your own vault and are the overseer.

Looks like a fun time waster and it's free for iPhone users. Launches tonight after their show is over.

[Ryan Ruck]

Items can be fabricated from materials found in every object in the world.

Unreal level of weapon and power armor mods in a shit load of customizations that totally change the function of the items. Not just addons like sights or grips for weapons.

[Ryan Ruck]

Aerial gunning in a vertibird!!!

[Ryan Ruck]

OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE IS NOVEMBER 10TH!

[MinutemanCO]

Wasn't sure what you meant, Ryan, by "Real life, working PipBoy!" Now after watching the E3 gameplay vid, I see that they've produced a real pipboy for use with the game. Pretty freakin cool.

[Ryan Ruck]

Yeah, was trying to get everything down. They were shotgunning info left and right or I would have been more detailed.

[Ryan Ruck]

Just preordered the XB1 Pip-Boy edition.

Get 'em while they're hot! They sold out pretty quick the last time the major retailers had pre-orders for them.

And they're all out of stock now.

Gamestop has some cool Fallout exclusive items.

Monopoly: Fallout Edition - $39.99





Fallout Anthology for PC - $49.99





I'd been meaning to pick up a version of Monopoly for a while so why not this one!

And, I hadn't played any of the Fallouts before 3 plus, I have seen some killer mods for 3 and NV that I'd love to try. So I picked up the anthology too. And the mini-nuke case is sweet! My new HTPC should be more than robust enough (may have to upgrade the vid card, it's pretty old) to handle 3 and NV so I'll just need to get a wireless keyboard and mouse and I'll be playing it on a 60" TV.
