I wish I was one of those cool people who could focus on one game at a time. But since I’m not, here’s some snaps from my new Fallout: New Vegas file. I shoved a weather/atmosphere mod in there, looks real purty now.

Well, I finally got around to starting another New Vegas file, this time on Hardcore and gunning for the NCR. Hardcore mode certainly makes things more interesting but I’m still finding the desert a colder and lonelier place than D.C.

Hopefully I can target some of the achievements that I missed thanks to glitches the first time around.

The FNV: Ultimate Edition is upon us! February 7 you can get the complete Fallout: New Vegas and all its DLC in one complete set. Until then, check out the trailer above!

Well, war may never change in the Fallout universe, but in THIS one, the war over Bethesda’s rights to the series is finally over. Interplay, the makers behind the Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics, have given up their bid to continue work on the Fallout MMO, instead accepting a $2 million dollar settlement in exchange for distribution rights on the first three titles for at least another year. The decision, a bid to keep both sides out of a costly legal battle, will see Bethesda retain all ownership post-2013. Said Robert Altman, Chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media, Bethesda’s parent company:

“While we strongly believe in the merits of our suits, we are pleased to avoid the distraction and expense of litigation while completely resolving all claims to the Fallout IP,” said Robert Altman, Chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media. “Fallout is an important property of ZeniMax and we are now able to develop future Fallout titles for our fans without third party involvement or the overhang of others’ legal claims.”

And so, the hard-to-conceptualize-but-fuck-I’ll-play-it-anyway MMO is not meant to be. Probably for the best. Is anyone genuinely disappointed by this?

Sorry I haven’t been around as much—I blame it all on Bizarro New Vegas. Oh, and Thanksgiving, or as I liked to call it, “That Day I Couldn’t Play Skyrim”. But stay tuned, I’ll have some guides up soon on Mining, Enchanting, and Smithing, and anything else you guys have questions on. Send it to my ASK box!

Sailor Mercury plus Fallout: New Vegas? Is it true?

Get your very own Fallout: New Vegas 3’ X 5’ NCR flag, made by Hchan Clothing, for $55.

Can’t talk, playing Lonesome Road.

After some disappointing DLC delays the final chapter in the Fallout: New Vegas saga is finally upon us. On September 20, you can travel that Lonesome Road on Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 for $9.99.

Courier’s Stash will run you $1.99 and Gun Runners’ Arsenal $3.99.

You and your brain have had some good times, right? Bashing in Cazador skull, surviving a cranial bullet wound, hell, even having a simultaneous affair with two gay light switches. Well, what would your brain have to say about that? Fallout: New Vegas explores the idea with this dialogue from Old World Blues.

Um, wow. I think I just gave that (female) robot an orgasm.

The sex jokes really are flying a mile a minute in the new Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues. I’ve already been accused of having penis feet. And then they made me use a gun that is coated in the robo ejaculate.

Here’s all three screen shots from Old World Blues, the next DLC chapter for Fallout: New Vegas.

I’m loving where this Burning Man thing is going. I knew he was alive, and wanted him to be, the minute the legend was mentioned. Now only if we could light him on fire again and have him “accidentally” wander too close to Caesar.

Keep an eye out at the end for the official Honest Hearts logo! 

Tis a great day to have a Bethesda press log-in! The Fallout: New Vegas Honest Hearts assets have dropped! Yes, dropped! Like a pair of testicles, they have! Trailer to follow soon.

Of interest is the picture of the man in bandages, a picture we’ve seen before. The file is labeled, as you might have guessed, “Joshua Graham”.
