    My review of Fallout: the Series Season One 9/10

    The keys jangle too nicely to give it anything bit a nigh perfect score.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Wasn't Rome captured in 376, marking beginning of the end, and in 476 Odoacer deposed the last emperor in Rome?

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    CT or Graves? Neither are trolls. /edit: another thing, the fall of Rome for example is ambiguous, it can refer to the city or the empire. If the fall of Shady Sands refers to the decline of the NCR, why isn't it named Fall of NCR? In F2 they barely referred to it as Shady Sands anymore. If the...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    They could double down because people like CT will absolutely bend over backwards to make things make sense in their heads. The producers know they can get away with the most nonsensical shit because the fans will fix it with headcanon. It's the "modders will fix it" of TV.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    No, we're saying production crew including script writers and set designers just didn't do a good job checking the timeline, and have decided to double down on this. But what are the events? How is that year more important than the capital getting nuked? And no, the events don't actually lead...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    But in those cases you usually put a year on singular events that mark the decline. Like the sack of Rome by the germanic tribes, or certain other decisive events that would heavily influence further history. The "Fall of Shady Sands" coincides with a decisive victory for the NCR, and while...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    Yeah, but as you keep on harping about how the show is done by the same hacks who did Westworld, can we really assume they won't pull some utter shite like that out of their arses? They have a track record, you know. If they can make a cinematic sin like dividing backstories over many seasons...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    Maximus shows nearly no emotion for many episodes unless it's when he realises he can abuse someone, either raiders or Bo from Superstore. The character itself is bland, but what really irks me is that the actor is terrible. Maybe he gets good at some point, but when you're being filmed Iron...

    AV Club and which games should you play post show- thoughts?

    But Fallout 1 and 2 are still nearly identical in terms of gameplay. How can 1 be so much less fun to play then? If the QOL improvements are that much of a must, use the Et Tu mod. Or is it less about the gameplay and more about the tone? Yeah, Fallout 1 is definitely more serious in that...

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    They don't ignore that. F3s lack of original plot is a common criticism.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Nah its not Vault-Tec, see, there were other companies present. All of those we could find names on the wiki, at least. Who cares about Poseidon...

    Notes on Fallout TV (Return to the Nolanverse complete, Review notes complete)

    I don't know what "fascist in a material sense" is. It's nationalist, sure, but it doesn't seem to have a leader cult, and while it's certainly anti-marxist, I don't see how it's anti-liberal. As far as we can tell it's still a parliamentary democracy and while the state has a lot of control in...

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    He is an author after all. I took "the real thing" over cousin stuff" to mean that "cousin stuff" doesn't count in their vault as real sex, like anal doesn't mean you lose your virginity to some.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Yeah, so why add this silly clandestine meeting about making sure it happened so they can win capitalism?

    Goddammit, I hate being wrong - showrunners fucked New Vegas

    That doesn't mean Vault-Tec was the same group, they could have been just the contractors building the vaults according to government plans.

    Notes on Fallout TV (Return to the Nolanverse complete, Review notes complete)

    Maybe pre war America just wasn't fascist, but a simple hypercapitalist Republic in decline?

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    The Dogmeat name particularly works because Cooper was in a movie called "A Man and his Dog". It's a reference!!! Just from the titles, all these misconceptions are more like strawmen. Yeah Vault-Tec didn't launch the nukes themselves, what they did was kick off the war. Yeah Cooper isn't Pip...

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    Of course that's what Kotaku cares about. Have they already done their articles on how queer the show is or isn't?

    They're the same thing now, but they haven't been before.
