Fallout [Amazon]

The inside of the vault's atrium looks right, it could have been taken from any of the games.

Seen there's free Vault 33 jumpsuit for Fallout 76 for the next day or 2.

Yeah they had a war resulting in a clear NCR victory and forced the BOS to go into hiding on the West Coast.

BOS regroup in the Eastern Coast with Pentagon ruins becoming HQ.

Really looking forward to this.

Was that Matt Berry voicing the Mr Handy?

Sounds a bit like him alright.

Wouldn't be surprised though if that's the same voice actor as the games.

Goes live at 1am. I heard it was all 8 episodes together which I'm not a fan of.

Episode 1 was a blast, it packed a lot in! It looks absolutely fantastic as I was kind of expecting. Music choices also top notch. Pretty gorey in places. Will definitely be watching more this weekend!

Watched 2 eps. Really good. Ive never played the games but my son has and hes really into it so looking to watch more episodes asap. Goggins took Justified for me. Just has that screen presence.

Watched two episodes. First one made me think, oh another tv series that uses gratuitous violence for click bait views.

But then got into it in the second episode. And it's getting a lot better.

The absence of familiar technology (i.e. it's nuclear powered, analogue tech, and Frankenstein health care) is really very refreshing. Was getting Bettlejuice vibes from The Ghoul.

Can't wait to watch the rest.

I can imagine that someone is paying big bucks right now for a Skyrim, Elder Scrolls adaptation.

Love the wide eyed "golly gosh" take on vault dwellers.

Really reminds me of constable Benton Fraser.

Their "Rings of Power" and "Wheel of Time" crew could learn from this

Satisfy your core audience and build from there. You have a valuable IP because of that audience.

My wife knows of it only because she has seen me play the games and liked the misic she heard.

She's absolutely loving the show.

Lead character is a woman who is written just as a vault dweller would be. Outside regular basement dwellers there's no chants of "girl boss" or a studio blaming sexism on any criticisms (admittedly I'm seeing little to no actual criticism). EDIT: Hell the secondary character is black and not a single case of racism claims. Just good writing, characters, and internal IP consistency

It's so bloody refreshing to not see that vitriol everywhere I look

My only issue is I keep imagining Star Trek: Prodigy and Gwyn

Would love to see same production team take on a Bioshock or Dishonoured series.

Bioshock is done right could be phenomenal.

Ella Purnell suits the part too, the wide eyes innocence really suits the vault dweller fish out of water role. Aaron Moetens disillusionment is suited to Brother of Steel character as well. The whole thing is right on the money.

Okey-dokey, bring on Season 2.

I'm not a gamer, so had no clue about the games.

Watched the show based on recommendation from friend.

Was impressed. Love the humour in it, and show very good overall. Some great effects.

Ah yeah, not my intention either. And to be fair to the producers he would have been cast, maybe even finished filming, long before October 7th.

Excellent finish with some great reveals and twists.

Cant wait for season 2.

Whatched the last episode this evening. Saw some great stuff coming in the next season.

Really enjoyed that. Faithful to the games, but also new material. Kept the dark humour too.

Also, confirmed by belief in case of global nuclear war, im going out in the blast, not a chance I wanna survive that lol.

"I don't want to set the world on fire" is playing on RTE radio 1 right now.

Show really seems to be breaking out of the core audience.

But of course. Sure only Nuka Cola contains those much needed health tonics and fortified vitamins.
