On the 3/NV debate, there’s also a tonal shift that factors in. I know different people who’ve bounced off each for different reasons relating to tone.

Fundamentally, 3 is much more about the past - uncovering the secrets of the ruins to help people survive. As such it can feel quite bleak and desperate, but revels in…

The main quest is notoriously short - but that’s not why you play a Fallout. Soak yourself in the atmosphere and savor the wondrous, abominable crannies and there’s so much to explore and discover.

MEMORY ISSUES, I ASSUME. SMASHED BUILDINGS TAKE UP MORE SPACE THAN EMPTY DESERT. OR LAYING OUT A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF A CITY WOULD BE TOO MUCH WORK.
A SMALL CONFESSION: IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO REALIZE THAT THE CARS WOULD EXPLODE, AND USING THEM FOR COVER WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Since you’re including bands, then obviously Queen. Famously did the scores for Flash Gordon and Highlander.

Mark Knopfler, for crying out loud! The Princess Bride! Local Hero!

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, one of my biggest issues with FO3 is that it had this really cool, really interesting, aesthetically striking setting of a destroyed DC...and then it forces you to spend hours trudging through subway tunnels. 

NEW VEGAS HAS A BETTER STORY, IN MY OPINION, BUT F3'S ALTERNATE WASHINGTON DC SETTING IS HARD TO TOP.

I think that the EU’s biggest problem was how fast they were pumping out content. For example, the New Jedi Order series had 19 novels released in four years time which is a novel approximately every two and half months. It was a lot to keep up with and the quality suffered. 

Man, Book of Shadows is one of the very worst films I’ve ever seen in the theater. It’s Highlander 2 both in terms of how objectively bad it was and also how badly it squandered everything that was great about the original.

“In all seriousness I think there’s at least a 50% chance Musk swoops in to turn this into ‘Original Programming for X’ or some other such fate.”

If only British citizens had the first amendment to protect them!

Those responsible for canceling the cancellation special have been canceled.

Did he try parking it in rice overnight?

The thing that gets me is the hypocrisy! Make up your mind! You’re mad when they break and you’re mad when they don’t brake!

Do you think OJ’s death would have stopped Norm from making jokes about him?

“He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. But not his ex-wife. We can confirm she was definitely not able to be present.”

I’m not sure if it’s better or worse that Norm Macdonald went first. As that means Norm never lived in a world where OJ was too dead to make jokes about.

“If the line is not flat, you must retract!”

Do you know who would have a really funny joke about OJ dying? Norm McDonald. RIP Norm.
