I must digress, Fallout 3 is tip of awesome. It's not only Awesome with a capital A but AWESOME with every capitalized. Total freedom.. pretty much. If if exists, you can shoot it. If it breathes or runs with gears, you can kill it (women and children included, no I haven't gone off killing any children... yet... Muwahahah >). The graphics are stunning although nowadays that is to be expected. The combat is spectacular, engrossing and very much Fallout.

The story has a nice tie-in ending for Fallout 1 fans. And the story, dialogue and characters are very much in the Fallout niche. All in all, it is Fallout. Fallout perfectly brought into the now. So in summary I have two words. Buy it.


Now, Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria, the first, and HUGE, expansion for the popular MMORPG. I already enjoyed the game but the new classes, Rune Keeper and Warden, are awesome. The Warden is very fast paced and does both ranged and melee damage off the bat. They also have a cool Gambit system. Which is kind of a combo, you add different styles of moves together to make a gambit which is a stronger move or buff.

I have yet to try the Rune Keeper.

Although I have not explored it (not high enough) the new area is huge and very beautiful I've heard. And the Legendary Weapons are simply amazing. If you plan on start LoTRO just pick up the Mines of Moria Complete Pack for 40 bucks. Of course, if you want I have some 14 day free trials to hand out, just ask and I'll give you a key. You'll have to download the client from lotro.com though. It's about 7.70GB, with a pretty large patch.

That's all,

Good night
