It’s been nearly two years since my last post about Fallout 76; and it’s been about that long since I played the game in earnest. I’ve popped in here and there, most notably to play through The Pitt expansion with my other half, but I’ve yet to check out the game’s newest content with any…

Starfield’s Stories are Good Vignettes Trapped between Bad Mechanics
I’m not one for tracking gaming achievements, but I can’t help but take notice whenever I garner one of Xbox’s diamond achievements. Believe me when I say I’m not bragging, because I rarely see these rare achievements myself, but when two popped up in a row upon completing a couple of Starfield’s faction quests, I…
Starfield: Bounce Back
I left Starfield late last year feeling quite sour about the game. I started playing at release, and I threw in the towel less than two months later. I believe the word I used to describe how I felt at the time was disenchanted. My high hopes for the game simply didn’t materialize. The experience…
You get a Fallout Crossover! And YOU get a Fallout Crossover!
Over the past day or so, news leaked about a set of Fallout cosmetics that apparently will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone at some point in the future. About a week ago, a new Fortnite update brought the addition of Fallout gear to the perennial battle royale. They say…
Unforgettable: “The Game was Rigged from the Start”
Unsurprisingly, Fallout, in it’s now varied forms, has taken up a good chunk of my attention lately. Not only am I’m continuing a new journey through the Commonwealth in Fallout 4, but I’m nearing the end of the TV show, and I’ve been watching playthroughs of first two Fallout games. They aren’t my cup of…
Latest Skyrim: Special Edition Breaks All Mods
For whatever reason, Bethesda is still releasing patches and updates for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition. I mean, it’s great to see developers supporting their games even years later, but this version of Skyrim has been out for years and years now, and the company’s most recent update to the game has…
Starfield: Hard Bounce
To be fair, I don’t have the best track record with Bethesda’s huge role-playing games. Sure, I can say now that I’m happy to sink into life hours into Fallout 76 and (ZeniMax’s) The Elder Scrolls Online, that (Obsidian’s) Fallout: New Vegas is a true stand-out among stand-outs, and that I’ll take another round of…
Redfall Gets An Update, Still Sucks. Are You Surprised?
I wrote a piece a couple weeks ago that kind of went off on how gaming media likes to blow up every little thing into something major. “People must be outraged or they’re not going to click” seems to be th logic, but then it must also be acknowledged that there is a lot of…
Starfield, the Adventure Begins
After racking up about 20 hours in Starfield during its release weekend, it’s as good a time as any to throw my hat into the first impressions ring, the TL;DR of which is Starfield has so far been an enjoyable but imperfect experience. It’s different but also familiar, as if Bethesda simply placed a new…
Game Pass ’14 Days for $1′ Promotion Cancelled Ahead of Starfield Launch
Well, I suppose the headline says it all for this one. Those hoping to take advantage of Game Pass’ long-running “14 Days for $1” promotion for Starfield are out of luck. As of now, Microsoft has suspended the promotion until further notice. If you want to play Bethesda’s latest, you’re either going to have to…
