  • I would tackle some of the sloppiness of Fallout’s lore in relation to the Bethesda games.

    Primarily, I’d set Fallout 3 like 25 years after the bombs instead of 200. It never made sense to me that creatures or people can survive 200 years in a location with poison water. I’d have to take out the Ghouls or alter the lore there a bit, though.

    I’d revamp the plot of Fallout 4, either making it totally about the synths or removing them entirely, and also set it shortly(ish) after the bombs fell. Bethesda doesn’t necessarily make bad games, they just don’t fully consider established canon before making creative decisions. Which irks me tremendously, because really all you have to do is hire one obsessed nerd and run decisions by him.


  • It is. So good. I haven’t stopped analyzing it since I heard it yesterday. My friend showed it to me when I was in high school, but it’s been a long while since I’ve even thought about it.

    Obviously, the actual musical composure of the song is gorgeous. I mean, really one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in my lifetime. Infectious earworm, as well.

    The lyricism is so well considered. I keep getting blown away by how the story of each verse changes the meaning of the chorus.

    It really is an all time masterpiece… in the same vein as Eraserhead, or The Girls of Porn by Mr. Bungle. I don’t think I could listen to it all the time, though I may give it a listen through again to try to get it out of my head. Not a great song to have as an earworm; when could you sing it through the work day?
