Straight from the Vault

Few things in life are more enjoyable than when a game captivates you completely.

Bethesda did their job.  I purchased Fallout 3 day 1 at the midnight launch in Pasadena.  I’m still pounding away at it.  Not only is it as “beautiful” as Oblivion, it runs rings around it performance-wise.  I have a pretty beefy system, but I’m still surprised it suggested I max out the graphic settings at 1920×1200.  Just wait ’til the modding community gets their hands on it!

My first run, I’m playing as a saint.  Picture Joan of Arc, but with a Chinese Assault Rifle.  My second time through, I’m aiming to be the Scourge of Humanity.  After Megaton gets the nuke, I’m off to hunt the remaining populace, hit them in the face with the Mesmetron, then slap on a radio-controlled exploding head collar as I haul their ass to the slaver encampment for my reward!

Game of the year.
