You get a Fallout Crossover! And YOU get a Fallout Crossover!

Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls.

The Ehs and Ohs from the Xbox Games Showcase 2023
Another week, another showcase! This time round it was Microsoft showing off all its upcoming Xbox goodies. This included a 45-minute dive into Starfield, which was a thing in and of itself. This game remains one of my most-anticipated, and that hasn’t changed. (My birthday is right around the time it releases, so happy birthday…
Looks Like Microsoft is Going to Buy Activision Afterall
For a minute, it looked like Microsoft’s buyout of Activision was going to be averted thanks to the EU not being on board with the merger. Unfortunately, it seems these sorts of mergers are all but inevitable. It was just announced a day or so ago that the EU’s regulatory body, the European Commission, just…
