Bethesda NEVER Understood Fallout
Let's count up the ways in which Bethesda has misunderstood and misused the Fallout property.
Do It Again, Stupid
One of the highest-rated games of all time has some of the least interesting gameplay.
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
The Best of 2012
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2012.
The Plot-Driven Door
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Awesome, thanks for the video!
Wow…. just wow.
Pitch Dark was great, but this is just a completely different level of amazing. I obviously need to do some music shopping.
Technical nit-pick, you changed tags for the two videos.
Pitch Dark: mc-frontalot
Bizzare Genius Baby: frontalot
Okay, let me see here. I have a hard time understand a lot of Frontalot’s lyrics, so I want to know if I have the story straight.
He has a baby girl, who is really smart. He has trouble identifying with her, and she’s also a lot to manage around the house. After much work and trial, she finally accepts him as a dad and role model, so he sells her to a sweat shop in Singapore, for which she kills him.
Is that basically the idea?
I feel like I ought to like Frontalot. I really want to, but I guess it’s not for everyone. On the other hand I really love Jonathan Coulton, who also writes a bunch of “geek music.”
For what it’s worth, Frontalot’s efforts seem very well-made, and just as good as any other rapper out there… and he isn’t singing about shooting cops or raping/peeing on kids or stealing things, so that’s a check in the plus column!
Kevin:
“Is that basically the idea?”
Except for the most important part:Hes just dreaming all of that.
Oh! Okay, cool. Thanks for that Luci. See, that’s why I asked!
(Though I’m not certain how that affects the story…)
Shamus – another to check out (but that has no video) is Secrets from the Future. You’ll find a lot of parallels to the futility of DRM mechanisms. :)
