That&#8217;s actually a link to the Sid the Science Kid movie which has mercilessly vexed Rutskarn during our last four shows. But don&#8217;t tell him! See, Rutskarn and I watch Josh play the game via Livestream, and at the time of this recording Livestream was showing Rutskarn the same ad again and again, every ten minutes.<\/i><\/small><\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D4WXxCPlRt8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D4WXxCPlRt8'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p>What a cavalcade of bugs. Josh tried to shoot the enemy with his rocket launcher. Then the game switched to a close-up of the foe encased in a pure black spherical shadow and being shot with small arms from behind. As far as we can see, no rocket was fired. And when we came out of VATS the view was inexplicably pointed straight down. Having the player running around with no torso, giving us combat kill-cams of unrelated rocks, and the subsequent crash were just icing on the cake. I don&#8217;t even know how to count those.  Are they all the same bug? Different bugs? What is this broken piece of software and why did people have to pay money for it?<\/p>\n<p>Remember a few episodes ago we talked about a particular fallout shelter in the game?  Well, I managed to stumble across it later on:<\/p>\n<p><table   class=\"\" cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0' align='center'><tr><td><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/fo3_shelter.jpg' class='insetimage'   alt='fo3_shelter.jpg' title='fo3_shelter.jpg'\/><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re the sort of guy who has always dreamed of meeting a naked double amputee as she hails a cab and then spending a romantic evening in a coffin-size nuclear bomb shelter, then tell me your next two wishes, because the first one is granted!  I like how the guy who set this up brought two glasses and got a &#8220;sexy&#8221; nightie (the pink pillow-shaped thing is actually sleepwear which acts as a nightgown if you&#8217;re a female or pajamas if you&#8217;re male) for his plastic date. He may be lonely to the point of being deranged, but he&#8217;s still clearly a hopeless romantic.  Sadly, it looks like the mannequin got stood up (sorry) because the wine is unopened and the sleepwear hasn&#8217;t been put to use.  Alas for unrequited love. The wasteland is full of such tragedies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thus continues our ongoing saga of self-abuse and childish griping in the face of Bethesda&#8217;s shoddy DLC.
