A... Manifesto?

First of all, Caveat is one of my new favorite words and you can look forward to me finding excuses to use it. For those who don't know it essentially means Caution or Warning, and is pronounced "Kavy-at" and not "Cave Eat" as it appears. See, education is cool kids.

Now to Fallout 3... over in like 6 hours? wtf is that!?! Well... there's certainly more playtime to be had, but if you follow the main questline you'll reach a conclusion pretty quickly and the game doesn't leave you to your open ended sandbox game... no... a movie, credits, and fade to black!

So, if you want to go back and do all those side quests or just roam the wastes looking for cool stuff you'll need to start again or jump on an older save file. I guess it's good if you're someone who needs closure on a game but don't want to spend a large time investment just for the main story... you have the option of skipping all the extra tidbits and just following the story.

I opted to re-start tonight and play a slightly different path... I won't drop spoilers, but I did find a pretty cool little village up near Tenpenny tower, where there are 2 little stereotypical 1950's families living, the fathers go "to work" and the mum cooks and looks after their child. The fathers "work" is capturing passers bye and producing sweeny style meat for their families! Ahahaha, I thought it was great.

Though overall it's a fantastic game, positioning your attributes and skill points at the start is pretty daunting... but a couple quick loads and I had the hang of it. I haven't played many RPG-Shooters but I could see myself getting into them more.

This is all part of my new scheme resulting from me quitting World of Warcraft... I want to broaden my horizons and pickup all those games I've liked the look of but not yet played. I won't do reviews on the games I try... but I might post some commentaries. I think a Wii and/or PS3 is on the books too... since I haven't touched consoles since my faithful N64, and considering I'd like to work in the field... I guess I should know what I'm on about.

PS. I can't get a header image to work, it's 760px wide like it should be... it shows up in the little Header edit thing, but it just won't show on the actual blog! I don't think the template is stuffed...
