Just a quick update here for my patrons, I plan on doing a full channel update soon. My plans have changed a bit, and I think I'm going to go with the following in my next couple videos...
First, I am working on a full retrospective and analysis of the Fallout series, the oldschool games, what they brought to the table, its spinoffs, and the Bethesda/Obsidian reboots and what features they improve or degrade over the originals.
I have a deep love and appreciation for the Fallout series, but like many oldschool gamers, I have seen some aspects that I love about the game mechanics or setting wither away or get shoehorned in over time. The perfect cocktail of Mad Maxian-apocalypse, the 1950's-inspired retro-futuristic "Before" world that has more than a dash of Flash Gordon inspiration, iced with a measured splash of pitch-black humor. I believe the Black Isle Studios staff executed this mix marvelously, but have been disappointed with Bethesda's misunderstanding (or revisionism) and mishandling of the series, despite some of Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4's successes.
After this big project I plan on tackling the OTHER company that spawned from Black Isle Studios, Troika -- and their three beautifully broken but marvelous games.
Let me know what you'd like to see in the future, or if you have any stories or input on the Fallout series. Thank you for your continued support!
