What is Game? - Fallout 3 (Test)

I think I'm going to try to make this a regular piece, because I'm very bored, to give a visual account of what I've been playing and also maybe give a better presentation on some things you might not have heard of. It'll be good when I get around to finally tackling King's Bounty or going back to play some Silent Storm.

Anyway, here's me dicking around in Fallout 3, mostly I was testing how well uploading HD videos to YouTube works:

Play This Now: Fallout

Well, I was hoping something would jump out at me by this Friday and boy did it ever. Since the news was made that Turner Broadcasting was looking to sell off their online video game distribution service GameTap or just pull the plug on the entire thing, it's been sort of up in the air about what the fate of the platform would be. Who knew we would look to the French to step up and take the reins? Paris-based Metaboli has agreed to keep the service alive, and, in a decision that had to have been a very calculated move against soon-to-launch Good Old Games, they are now adding the original Fallout to the collection of free titles, a game which GOG is currently offering for $5.99 to the early beta testers.

Anyway, Fallout, one of the most popular RPGs of all time, the game that spawned my love for nuclear apocalypse long before I saw any of the actual films the game was heavily influence by, and also the game that spawned one of the most rabid fanbases filled with more complete fucking raisin cakes than you will ever see. I really don't need to go into detail, do I? If you like RPGs, if you like sci-fi, if you like dark humor, if you like turn-based games, if you like post-apocalyptic atmosphere, if you like guns or just if you haven't even played motherfucking Fallout before, you're doing yourself a grave disservice by not grabbing it right away. All you need to do is download the GameTap client from the link below, you don't even have to set up an account or anything. It's engrossing, it's huge and, now, it's free. What more do you need?

Download, gametap_setup.exe

I Throw Away Perfectly Good Money

I just purchased this because I am stupid and I am more than willing to throw heaps of cash for stupid things I don't need that are in addition to a stupid thing I don't need. If there is a Hell I'm sure there is a specific place for special spendthrifts. Those of us who will be huddled together in fear, clutching our Rockstar duffel bags and Big Daddy figurines, eyes wide with terror as they make us tread a never-ending sea of Septim coins. So take note developers: if you want me to spend even more money on a game I have high interest in, include a bunch of silly bullshit.
