Weekend Open Bar: Even Console Cowboys Need Time In MeatSpace

the calm cool

Man, it’s the Weekend. And not a moment too soon. Just a tiring week. Or more specifically, a week filled with duties that weren’t Fallout 4. So many duties that weren’t Fallout 4.

Hanging out with you here at the Weekend Open Bar.

‘Fallout 4’ Live-Action Trailer: Welcome Home!

‘Fallout 4’ Behind The Scenes Trailer: Hanging Out With Dogmeat

‘Fallout 4’ script is bigger than ‘Fallout 3’ and ‘Skyrim’ scripts combined

Fallout 4.

Goddamn! This is exactly the sort of news I cannot handle. I cannot handle this news because it makes me sweat Fallout 4 so hard. I cannot handle this news because it surely cements the Death of my (Non-Existent) Social Life come this November.

‘Fallout Monopoly’ is a real, official thing. Dropping in November.

Fallout 4 Monopoly

Fallout 4 ain’t the only wonderful, Fallout-based product dropping in November. No, no. Bethesda has also announced that there will be a Fallout-themed edition of Monopoly hitting the shelves.
