<p>So, there&#8217;s this game out that I&#8217;m currently obsessed over. I&#8217;m sure you can figure out which one it is. No, it&#8217;s not <strong>Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction</strong>. Anyways, let me share some nifty links with y&#8217;all&#8230;</p>
<p>Over at <strong>Grimly Enthusiatic</strong>, <a href="http://grimlyenthusiastic.wordpress.com/2010/10/29/my-mojave-wasteland-journal-fallout-new-vegas/">a journal of the Courier&#8217;s days in the Mojave Wasteland.</a> It&#8217;s not really an actual <em>journal</em> journal, as in &#8220;dear world, here&#8217;s what I did today, I am so lonely,&#8221; but rather a loglist of <a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/found-my-first-bugs-in-fallout-new-vegas-and-im-not-talking-about-radroaches-or-bloatflies/">odd bugs and glitches.</a> Looks like some desert folk can&#8217;t tell the difference between a male/female Courier.</p>
<p>Over at <strong>1Up</strong>, <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3181975">read and take in their <strong>Fallout: New Vegas</strong> survival guide.</a> Some very good tips, especially the whole &#8220;play to your strenths&#8221; one. Quick note: the guide contradicts itself by saying that Science, Repair, and Lock-picking are the best skills to tag and then says in the text that Science, Lock-picking, and Speech are the best. I&#8217;ve yet to really find a good use for lock-picking, but having a good Speech skill is nearly essential. Oh so essential. Tag it. TAG IT RIGHT NOW, KIDS.</p>
<p>Over at <strong>Popmatters</strong>, two interesting articles: <a href="http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/132773-/">Sex Workers and Sex Slavery in <strong>Fallout: New Vegas</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/132661-fallout-the-scrounging-simulator/"><strong>Fallout:</strong> The Scrounging Simulator.</a> I can&#8217;t really comment on the first one as I haven&#8217;t done any quests related to slavery and prostitutes in the latest game, but I do wholeheartedly agreed with the second article. During these tough times, it is important to learn to carry only what you need, only what will keep you going forward.</p>
<p>Over at <strong>G4TV</strong>, <a href="http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/comedy/72604/Milynns-Fallout-Fall-Fashion-Show.html">there&#8217;s a <strong>Fallout</strong> Fall Fashion Show.</a> Pretty hilarious stuff. Actually, after watching, most of the outfits seem inspired more from <strong>Fallout 3</strong> happenings rather than <strong>Fallout: New Vegas</strong>. Oh well. I&#8217;m sure many will still dig &#8217;em. &#8220;Seriously, I&#8217;m gonna loot that body.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lastly, over at <strong>Kotaku</strong>, <a href="http://kotaku.com/5675817/youre-not-the-only-one-surviving-those-fallout-new-vegas-bugs">actor/rapper Ice-T is also dealing with the bugs and quirks in the Mojave Wasteland.</a> Don&#8217;t really get it, but that&#8217;s just me. I&#8217;m still waiting for someone more like Zooey Deschanel to openly admit how much of a <strong>Fallout</strong> fan she is&#8230;</p>
<p>Okay, that&#8217;s all for now. Happy reading!</p>
