But the videogame I&#8217;m most excited has already been out in the world for just over a year now: <strong>Fallout 3</strong>.</p>

<p>I finally got my Xbox 360 about five or six months after <strong>Fallout 3</strong> came out. At this point, Bethesda had already released two pieces of downloadable content (DLC) for the game, with a third to come. A few months later came word of two more pieces of episodic adventuring, and then the no-suprise announcement of a Game of the Year edition, much like Bethesda did with <strong>Oblivion</strong> and their Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansion packs. I already knew in my heart of hearts that I&#8217;d be frugal and just wait for this; much of the DLC was already plagued with bugs and glitches, and I figured I&#8217;d just hold out until they cleaned it all up and released it in one glorious bundle. Good thing I&#8217;m patient.</p>
<p>So yeah, <strong>Fallout 3</strong>. Coming here soon. Like <em>tomorrow</em>. I&#8217;m pretty excited to venture out into the wasteland. Knowing my playing style, I&#8217;m going to guess that I will likely play a good karma/slightly gray thief character. Any handy tips I should know of?</p>
