Son of a bitch, you’re saying I may actually have to go to fucking Kmart? There are no words.

Destructoid:

Bethesda has something strange going on with retailer Kmart. With a $5 purchase of the Fallout coaster set seen above, you will get a $15 Video Game Savings coupon that will be redeemable the week of the Fallout: New Vegas release. It’s like a strangely worded pre-order offer with bonus gift. Who cares how it goes down, though. It’s Fallout coasters!

What a weird and strangely enticing promotion. Now, as far as Big Box Middle-America-Smashing Uber-Juggernaut stores go, I’m a Target man myself. But now? Well, Kmart is throwing down the gauntlet. Fighting cheaply, rubbing Fallout: New Vegas goodies in my face.

Frak.

I haven’t beaten Final Fantasy XIII yet, but I’ve played Fallout 3 and the Mass Effect series until my eyes have bled. So you can imagine how I feel about the JRPG/Bethesda & Bioware divide. Which is why this advertisement makes me giggle like a little fanboy. Giggle, giggle!

Andriasang:

Says one, “A game where you just follow the scenario is like living life on rails.”

Another: “What’s the point of playing again if there’s no change to the story.”

The girl to the left: “When did games become something that you watch?”

The tall one in back: “I think it would be nice if the main character had a mission aside from just wiping out evil.”

Suggests the one sitting in front: “”The world has been prepared. After that, you’re free to do as you please!”

Now, I don’t know how well this sort of advertisement will go over in Japan, where its directed. They obviously love them some JRPG. But for a dork like me who just wants to run around an open world, free from groan-inducing pronouncements and hand-holding, its pure nerd cattiness.

The E3 2010 hype continues, this time in the form of a Fallout: New Vegas trailer with old-ass music, wastelands, and ridiculously gorgeous gameplay. I’m ready, ready like woah for this game. I’ve already begun building a replica bunker from which I shall play the game. I will only leave it every thirty-six hours to scowl at the sky, and feel sun accentuating the sores and gunk-filth coating my unwashed, withering body. Are you in on this commitment to the game with me? Hit the jump for the gorgeous trailer.

I don’t usually buy collector’s editions. In fact, I usually spend my time making fun of them. But I’m also a hypocritical asshole. That said, it’s going to take a lot of self-control for me to not buy this bad boy. It contains:

via all games beta:

– Seven “Lucky 7” poker chips, each designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

– A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas.

– A recreation of the game’s highly coveted “Lucky 38” platinum chip.

– A hardcover graphic novel “All Roads” that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. “All Roads” was written by Chris Avellone, the game’s creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.

– ‘The Making of Fallout: New Vegas’ DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.

Do want.
