Looks like all the other threads went to archive. Season drops tomorrow at 6pm PST. I'm sure it'll have some shit that annoys me, but I'm looking forward to checking it out.

I deep down expect woke garbage after the Rings of Power debacle, but am extremely impressed with the previews and will give it a chance. Even if the writing is mediocre, I anticipate I will still enjoy ghoulified Boyd Crowder.

I enjoy watching this style of video, and have watch that exact one before. I am a new fan of the series, having gotten into Fallout 3 and New Vegas while on paternity leave. I still haven't played Fallout 1 and 2, though I did recently buy them.

I enjoyed Fallout 3, but playing New Vegas was a game changer (no pun intended). It is an absolute master class in story telling. I still haven't finished it, primarily because I will be sad when it is over.

I've been upping my amateur gunsmithing game lately, and am seriously considering replicating this gun and shooting USPSA single stack with it.

Good to hear it’s a good show. My wife hates cussing, so I’ll probably watch it alone. Still need to finish Shogun.

Just watched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised.

Nice to see the Rock-It launcher make an appearance.

A strange variation of the "start out with an insane offer, than give your real offer next."

This is how hollywood gets us to love mediocre.

(not my comment on the amazon fallout series. I don't have amazon and I'm not going to be watching the show).

If they do even a halfway decent job with this series, it will be in spite of their policies: https://www.ccdeia.com/policy

I don't think I heard any cussing...there was a mostly clothed sex scene, and a lot of gore, but not much in the way of curse words.

It'll get worse. Pepper it in the first episode and then go balls deep by the third episode.

When this happens, People will convince themselves It's still good because they are like abused spouses when it comes to new TV shows.

The ghoul is by far the best character. So they will kill him off. Can't have him taking the limelight from generic female protagonist.

Don't believe me? Just wait

I just stopped it where she leaves the vault and it's time for bed but my wife who is in no way part of my Fallout obsession just made me promise I don't watch anymore without her lol.

I'm digging it and apparently she is also which is saying something.

We might be onto something here fellas.

Never played the game. Got through episode 2. I’m liking it so far.

Little bit of Star Wars vibes with the character in the power armor. But still gonna do episode 3 tomorrow.

Fuck ads on Prime.

I need a doggo.  (Mostly a joke, just came back inside from 20 minutes of dog cardio - abet mine would probably fetch the enimy).


My shelter is coming along - gate is about 90%.  Got to drive through it for the first time this evening.  Contractor was a no show today - but could be weather.  Will see if I get a reschedule tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I do wonder how many people are going to claim that the choice of a female protagonist automatically makes it "woke"  


I am guessing the people who will complain about that are not people who actually played Fallout games a lot.

Yeah, they need to release a DECENT game more than once every 10-15 years. They’ve about skipped an entire generation since Fallout 4. (I don’t recognize the bay of rotting garbage they called Fallout 76)

So the biggest issue I had was when she was going through her "skill list" and basically she was perfect in everything which isn't realistic for fallout.  Only watched the 1st episode but seemed pretty dumb unless they are going to go with her being super proficient but pretty clueless in the real world.

Got thru 2 episodes, loved it.  Hopefully the only woke shit they got out in the first episode with the tranny in the hospital growing a mustache.  If that's it that is a win.

Yeah, but Ripley was not surrounded by incompetent men who kept doing stupid shit she warned them against. The men stood up, and died trying to save everyone.  This gave Ripley a chance to use her smarts to survive--she didn't kick the shit out of the alien hand to hand because she was a strong independent woman that didn't need no man.  She was the last one standing, and used her wits. It was a very natural progression-she was smart, but the men were not dumb, they gallant in their efforts to save all. So, very much not a woke film (the other female in the film acted a more traditional female way).  Totally different than woke films of today.
