    Notes on Fallout TV (Return to the Nolanverse complete, Review notes complete)

    Competition is a fundamental property of any market economy. I wouldn't paint it in such absolute terms since competition and cooperation can coexist, even if only temporary and suiting the self-interest of each participants, and not all capitalists are always in competition with each other...

    Probably never, but I welcome the next communist revolution. Nothing is more efficient at killing communists than a communist revolution.

    One, because I haven't even said anything about it, and Two, well, it's not really a Marxist observation, it's just what capitalism is. I guess even Marxist theory can't get basic definitions wrong (not for lack of trying, but I guess when it suits them they're occasionally at least not lying)...

    If something is stated by "basic Marxist theory", you can just assume it to be wrong.

    Not necessarily. The whole "sustainably" thing isn't as easy as some make it out to be. And yeah, people don't want to give up their bottom lines for that.

    Turns out it's a show written by and for people on the level of Saturday morning cartoons. Big shocker, I know.

    I understand it, it's not that hard. Just uses a lot of superfluous words to make it seem it's intelligent so people waste their time at college on this nonsense instead of getting a degree in a real subject.

    It's like those paintings made by someone swinging over a canvas with a paintbrush up their butt and writing and essay about how the painter was referring to certain 19th century schools of impressionism to evoke certain emotions. No. He was just swinging over a canvas with a paintbrush in his...

    Ooor, hear me out here, all that polsci bollockery is thinking way too hard about a show written by hacks who just wrote some arbitrary conflict between a bunch of parties they had on a whiteboard saying "use these factions". The writers surely didn't have some whatever political theory in mind...

    The Tests in Fallout 2 were not crazy. They were mostly mild social experiments, with the worst one being a faulty vault door to study the effects of prolonged heightened radiation exposure. Which, under the background of potential interstellar travel, made kinda sense. The whacky evil...

    No? Vault-Tec was just a government contractor building vaults. The Enclave was just American government remnants. Probably not even called "Enclave" before, or some form of cabal shadow government. They were the Enclave of the old USA, nothing more, hence the name.

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    Wouldn't exactly call them "mature". Or even "adult", they're mostly just cartoonishly violent.

    So it's takes nothing less than a Total Conversion to make Fallout 3 good. To be fair, Tale of Two Wastelands makes Fallout at least mechanically a bit more playable. It also adds the bonus that you'll be looking forward to going into NV soon.

    It's like trying to mod Fallout 3 into a good game. Ain't happening.

    There are limits to what mods can do.

    So when Season 2 comes out there'll be mods to add season 1 into season 2 or what?

    But that's kinda the thing, the initial attack on the vault is the only thing that characterises as a bad guy. She kidnaps Hank because he nuked and entire city, and she's characterised as in opposition to Vault-Tec and a genius who worked on cold fusion and survived since the War. The only...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    I thought the finger was just dead and rotting. Nothing the soothing voice of Matt Berry and some laser welding can't fix, tho. That whole scene was just for the laughs. The captive ghouls and those vials, I don't know. Just random shit made up to give Cooper some random motivation. Pointless...
