I've always assumed (with no real support) that a lot of this sort of thing historically got started during food shortages but then little kids would get habituated to it.

I think it was the first one, wasn't it? ("We don't have any more cows in my time.")

That's a smart reading and I really like it. Thinking back on the first game (it's been a while): the street level enemies are basically guards, overseers, and organized criminals, right? The result is that we get this statement that groups on both sides of the law are necessary to preserve the same indices of order.…

Just to echo what you said, it's interesting that they explicitly label it a "chaos" system, not a "morality" system. Killing shakes things up whereas disposing of folks other ways (e.g., slavery, as you mention) is morally reprehensible but still preserves a kind of stability or equilibrium. (Of course, this is a…

Or a tattoo parlor called "Skin Tags."

The red arm is the 'droid equivalent of growing a beard to show that you've seen some shit.

You mean another ourobrofest?

Vague, but not in the fun Las Vegas way. As in, something has happened to her offscreen but I couldn't tell whether we're supposed to infer that she's still a going concern and something to be figured out next season, or whether she's definitely supposed to be one of the Romeros but Major doesn't realize it yet,…

Inevitably, the most fervent fans would be known as MOTOR-heads.

I'm seeing double here: three Jay Garricks!

Deathclaws, yes, but also (irradiated) Dippin' Dots.

I for one look forward to lengthy discussions of where everyone went to high school and the exciting quest where the gang hikes out to Ted Drewes. Actually, visiting City Museum but filled with Super Mutants would be pretty great. Screw it — I'm in.

Too Wig To Fail

"Porknoy," surely.

They should have gone for something less obvious, like "Fluffington Q. Huggamajigs, LLC."
