Here is the rundown review because I don't want to spend tons of time on my phone typing Setting/Tone A lot can said about this show but the one thing that most professional reviewers (including myself) agree on is that the tone is fabulous. It's spot on Fallout, you've got the same sounds and the hacking interface on the computer screen is the same from the Bethesda Fallout games. You have enough of those pieces of tone but it never feels forced.
All the set pieces and the locations look just how they should. Norm exploring the rundown vault felt relatable because all of those sets were so on point. Characters/Acting The show could've had some really boring characters but instead it was decided to make them interesting. Lucy is a perfect Leslie Knope for the apocalypse character and she contrasts well with the more jaded characters of Maximus and the Ghoul. Those two are great examples of how to write a good antihero, treading the line of keeping them sympathetic enough for us while doing bad things. "Everyone wants to save the world - they just disagree on how" is such an iconic line - it perfectly summarizes the franchise, just short of "war never changes" if you ask me.
The actors are phenomenal in their roles and are casted appropriately. Chris Parnell as the Vault 4 Director was brilliant, and the actor who played none other than my favorite character of all time is Lucy's dad. Speaking of Lucy, Ella Purnell nails it as I knew she would. I highly recommend the show Yellowjackets where she also shines.
Story I think the season is generally well-constructed but does kinda lag a bit in the middle. Some of the plot points feel muddy (why did Dogmeat like the Ghoul so much after he stabbed her - glossed over)
But that's nitpicking in a series that's concise and delivers an entertaining narrative. The show really picks up in the last three episodes; I just think they could've done a little more with the middle three.
Final Thoughts / Score Overall, Fallout holds up to the source material without a doubt. It emulates the tone, knocks it out of the park, and adds even more to the Fallout franchise. Make no mistake, this is definitive to the games and it has my seal of approval.
9.5 / 10

What's your deal anyway man? What are you all about? All I remember was that whole furry ordeal in 2011
I'm a simple woman. I think beer should be cold, and boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad. And freedom? I think that's just a little bit better.

Honestly just searching "secondclass", "class", and "carmen" on the Discord server, you were both very respectful and nice to me even when you were younger. So thank you!

I spent last night torturing myself by reading old posts. A lot of those were so awful. I can't imagine what you all think of me - but you're reading this for a reason. Maybe we can all talk on here again! I miss imageboards

Maybe not everyday but I've been sending 99% of my paycheck to a woman I like since late 2016.
That's extremely generous! You're doing well in the altruism department for sure lol. Just make sure you don't go broke doing that

I've been rereading some old posts, and I'm pretty ashamed that I acted so aggressive, weird, and annoying. Regardless, this forum helped me so much during my formative years, and I'm grateful for everyone here having patience with me. I'm humbled and just happy that I get to live life in a good way. Essentially, I apologize for my past behavior. I will try to make it up to you all.

Every day, once a day, you should commit to one good act. Do something you wouldn't have done normally had you not seen this message. That is all.In other news, I hope everyone has been okay lately. I've been watching a lot of Survivor lately. I still love Azula and David Lynch, but right now my main media focus has been The Walking Dead and Invincible. Also - Drake & Josh is honestly a hilarious show and I support Drake.

Can't say I needed or wanted the reminder to my ignorance and past instability there Class. Past my own bullshit, I don't think there has been officially. But I think un-officially we have lost people that used to come here due to death. But you gotta look at the odds of them having a buddy to post their obituaries. Slim to none. Realistically and most likely, people just go dark and they're never heard from again.
And yeah that's my fear. If I ever die, I want someone to at least commemorate it on Sep7agon

Yikers, just referencing our shared history. Disappointed in yourself or not, you have to admit that from an outsider's POV, it's a cool bit of lore. I don't judge you whatsoever.
I mean, if I had to remember all of my mistakes, I'd probably have an existential crisis. I remember when I tried to steal my mother-in-law's wedding wine that was never supposed to be opened lol...........yeah, I've done plenty worse than you - you're practically a saint. Anyway, she caught me and the wine is still unopened. So no harm no foul.

Transition early and never give up control of TVC. Emily Baranka is your one true love, date her. And keep track of Kris Michaels always. Find a way to save Sam O. again regardless of the changed timeline Spoiler it's a very personal question to ask, but I am here in the heart of the forest answering it

So yeah, big confession: while I know the story of the core Halo trilogy and all the tropes and characters and such, I never played Halo: CE or Halo 2 when I was a kid or ever (okay, I played a little Halo 2 on my friends' console iirc, but just multiplayer not campaign). So now that I have the Master Chief Collection and finally bought some more storage space, I figured I'd try to play the first two Halos. I'm starting on CE and oh my god it is fun. I'm surprised at how fun it is for how dated it is. I'm playing MCC which means the anniversary edition, and still I can tell that the visuals and such look 2000s-esque, but the gameplay itself still holds up amazingly. I like fighting Elites instead of Brutes. I didn't play much of the Reach campaign like I did with Halo 3, so fighting Elites instead of Brutes is refreshing. I'm currently on the third level, "The Truth and Reconciliation". Sniping area in the beginning was challenging (playing on Heroic) but still mainly a breeze. But once I boarded the spaceship while my health was low (no health packs to be found before boarding) things took a turn. I now understand the fear of death because of these insanely good invisible Elites. I can't get past the opening part. Best I can do is stand way back in one of those hallways that they spawn in with the sliding door at the front of the hallway, and every time the door opened and no one was there I knew to start shooting. That worked for one life but then they rushed me and got me while I was reloading. Do I have to go out and find something or just survive these waves of enemies? I've watched some of these cutscenes before but not all of them. Excited to get the whole story start-to-finish. Anyway, how have you been? What games have you been playing?

Nothing but maintaining my commitments and having fun. I should set a specific summer goal. Maybe get at least 100 more pages into The Brothers Karamazov

Been too long since I've seen a good movie in theaters and this one looks like a spectacle to say the least. The release date (6/21) is just far enough away to keep my interest, but also to give others around me notice of my intention. So it might be a fun thing to do mid-summer. What do you all think of this movie?

I really hope Cheat keeps this website active for as long as she can! So many memories here. Even if it's dead, we can always revive it lol. Once I get into a position where I don't have to work - and I can just chill on the computer all day again - then I will make this place famous just you wait.
