"Can I take stuff from the ghoul? Pack of cigarettes eh? Well it;s not like he's going to be using it."
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.

"Another GDI trooper... kaboom! Well uh, not kaboom I guess. Ka-snipe?"
Command & Conquer is the groundbreaking real-time strategy game from Westwood Studios that set the bar for all RTS games to follow. With its sleek interface, animated units, sincere if cheesy cutscenes, and near-future setting, Westwood Studios produced the game that would define the industry for years to come. It introduced the world to tiberium, point click and die and, of course, Kane. This is where it all begins.

Here it is! Lace up your skates and hit the ice, here we are playing an entire season of one of the greatest hockey games of all time, NHL '95 for the PC. Roster slots filled out by my fans, much thanks to you, NHL '95 for the PC is one of the finest hockey games ever made, with fantastic gameplay, digitized speech, authentic jerseys, and a slick TV-style presentation. Everything you loved about the playability of NHL '94 is ramped up and polished here in NHL '95.
We'll be playing this out in a real-time season (I hope!), so check back for more exciting hockey action. It's like the inverse of Be A Pro -- You're in my game! This should be fantastic and fun. So let's hit the ice!
Since this is back long before Play by Play was a thing in hockey video games, I'm going to do my best to be entertaining as well as providing the coverage as the game transpires. We'll see how that goes... also, check out the custom music I've added, from a diversity of interests, to give it some more authentic Arena Feel. I hope you guys like it!

"Is that a guy's boots hanging in mid-air? Man I must've grenaded him good!"
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.

Tomorrow, Germany. Tomorrow tomorrow? THE WORLD
After their first surprise hit, Westwood Studios upped the ante with Command & Conquer: Red Alert. A landmark game in the annals of gaming history, Red Alert introduces to the commander all new naval and air units, including strike fighters. All of this is just so great, and it was released right around the time internet gaming was picking up. Back in my day, there were tons of skirmish matches being played all over the globe. Cool or what?
Of course this is not to denigrate the single-player campaign. Westwood rolled all the dice with having an actual Stalin actor. And the cut-scenes are just much more than the original C&C could deliver... really, Red Alert is essentially 'Command & Conquer: More Edition'.
The great thing about Command & Conquer contrasting to other real time strategy games, is that the sides are not balanced at all. The Allies have all the naval ships, the Soviets get all the cool air power, the Soviets have big damn tanks and the Allies... don't? And the base defenses... this game made the Tesla Coil iconic. It is really great in all the ways.
I will be playing through the DOS version because I have the original discs and such, suck it Origin. And man is this gonna be some fun or what!

"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
This time I'm going to be playing not just Fallout 2, Interplay's sequel to the smash hit RPG Fallout, but I'm also going to be playing the Restoration Project. The Restoration Project is a mod created by the No-Mutants-Allowed user Killap, designed to add back in much of the content that was cut from Fallout 2 due to time constraints. It also fixes multiple bugs and adds some additional graphics features.
Your home, the village of Arroyo, is dying. The tribe founded by the original Vault Dweller from Fallout needs you to venture into the Wasteland to retrieve the fabled Garden of Eden Creation Kit, a device said to 'bring life to the Wasteland'. Along the way you'll meet more strange mutants, unique characters, and even some old friends. You'll even get a chance to revisit some of the locations from Fallout 1... but the Wasteland has changed in the last 80 years...
