In which I decide to try the 'good' ending? Or something? Well it's finally here. Fallout 3. A game that destroyed a company and continues to divide what was once a loyal fanbase even to this day. Was it worth it? Well, we'll find out. Produced by Bethesda Softworks, best known for the Elder Scrolls series of RPGs, the game is the sequel (of sorts) to Interplay's venerable Fallout series of ground-breaking late 90s RPGs. Fallout 3 takes place in an all-new setting, the Capital Wasteland, and features a first/third-person game engine ala modern FPS. After a false start with 'Project Van Buren' that ultimately drove Interplay to bankruptcy and resulted in the original closure of Black Isle Studios, Fallout 3 was finally released with much fanfare some eleven years after Fallout 2. Was it worth it? Although highly praised upon its release and winning numerous industry accolades and awards, even now the game engenders some resentment from the series die-hard fans. This will certainly be interesting. This Let's Play has been requested as far back as during my Fallout 2 days. This will be my first official entirely blind Let's Play, as I've never played Fallout 3 (beyond the first hour or so of gameplay) to completion. Every other game I've LPed so far was a game I had extensive experience with, played front to back and otherwise dominated or at least held vast knowledge of. So this will be a new experience for all of us. Playing the Game of the Year edition from Steam. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zt8kWFd7ig

"James Anderson is too cool to have an inventory. He's way cooler than Duke Nukem, a game which came out like eight years before this one or something." Iron Storm is an alternate-history type first person shooter that takes place in a universe where World War I continued because the Bolshevik Revolution failed. It's notorious for its difficulty, but I find the setting and backstory quite fascinating. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fngtpi9aDg4

Oh yes I have been looking at this one with fear and intimidation for a long time. The famous, or infamous, Ghost Bear's Legacy expansion pack/new campaign was released by Acti-Vision in 1995. It required a copy of the original MechWarrior 2 CD, however it introduced an entirely new campaign, all new mechs, and new weapons that went beyond what was seen in MechWarrior 2. Most importantly, Ghost Bear's Legacy adds an even greater depth and sense of immersion into what it would be like to actually be a Clan MechWarrior. The story follows the (fictitious and non-canon, uh, extra fictitious I suppose?) journey of you as first a common MechWarrior, then being chosen in the batchall of your commander for the Trial to seek out and restore the stolen Clan Genetic Legacy of Jorgensson and Tseng. Along the way we will pitch head-long into so much Clan Lore and backstory, this is going to be so much fun. As a game, however, Ghost Bear's Legacy was somewhat overlooked due to the sheer difficulty spike of some of its missions, a few which border on impossible. In the spirit of bringing the best possible experience I can, I will attempt to play through these missions 'as intended' at first. But I am not afraid to admit that I may have to use cheat codes or other dezgra tactics in order to advance the plot. GBL is not for sissy stravag freebirths. This will be fun, quiaff? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCjvHKOecIo
