I don’t know, I’ve enjoyed Fallout ever since the first one and I’m looking forward to the show. It’s not like they have to follow a specific storyline from the games, just a new story in an established setting. Should be easy enough. If it’s good, more people will get into Fallout. If it’s bad, oh well, the games are still there.
Here’s the direct link to the video if anybody wants to go right to it…
I just finished playing through the demo. It’s clearly a labor of love for this small team. Great stuff!
I was basically in the same boat. I didn’t have a PC powerful enough to run Quake 2 well at the time. I could do Quake 1, and played the hell out of it, but Q2 was a complete slideshow. By the time I was able to upgrade it was Half-Life days, so Q2 multiplayer will always be a missing chunk of PC FPS history for me.
For me, probably Half-Life 2. Especially at the time? It was such a leap ahead in both technology and overall world immersion. I still revisit it sometimes and get sucked right back in.
I’ll agree with you on Beatles Rock Band too, though. It’s a work of art.
I did, and unless I’m missing something all it did was give me a list of my subscribed subreddits and let me select them one at a time to search for…whatever Lenny’s equivalent of a subreddit is.
I say “all it did”, though it’s definitely better than nothing. I chose a few communities…most of which were 20-22 days old…and now the front page has more interesting posts. So I guess it worked for me.
I remember clearly that someone brought an Apple II to my preschool. This would be early/mid 80’s. It had a color monitor and they showed off some maze running math game (probably Number Munchers or something like that), but for some reason what really grabbed my little 3 (4?) year old mind was just this simple graphical program that displayed multicolored <<< shapes that lined up and spiraled outwards. I remember thinking, “hey it looks like my living room rug!”
But that’s when I realized that there was this magic box under the monitor. It was covered in buttons AND IT LET YOU CONTROL WHAT WAS SHOWING ON THE TV!! It set my little brain on fire and I’ve been hooked ever since.
