Cosplay: ‘Fallout 4’ goes Rosie The Riveter

Pip Rosy.

Man. Yesterday as a quickly evaporating mirage spent gleefully wandering the Wasteland. Today I am back at work, and spending every minute wanting to be back in bombed-out Boston. This cosplay will have to suffice. For now.

Weekend Open Bar: Even Console Cowboys Need Time In MeatSpace

the calm cool

Man, it’s the Weekend. And not a moment too soon. Just a tiring week. Or more specifically, a week filled with duties that weren’t Fallout 4. So many duties that weren’t Fallout 4. However, the Weekend has arrived, I’m raising the shutters on the Open Bar, and my reunion with Bethesda’s Latest Baby is looming. I’m up to a bunch of other stuff this weekend, too. You know, grading papers, playing Mega Man X with Bateman, maybe watching the latest Ronda Rousey fight. Some Eating Too Much. Some Football. And most importantly! Hanging out with you here at the Weekend Open Bar.

Xbox One getting backwards compatibility for 104 games this week

Steve Ballmer is ready.

XB1 is getting that backwards compatibility game on this week, with an initial list of 104 games being supported. I know the aforementioned list is much maligned for the titles it contains, but just the promise of b/c in general has me stoked. Plus! I mean. It features Mass Effect, and apparently it runs better on the XB1.

Monday Morning Commute: His Brains Burst With Remarkable Grace

mmc ~

Monday Morning Commute! The weekly column where all of us gather (you! and you! and you! and you and you and you! all of you!) to share what we’re excited in a given week. I’m going to level with you — this week for me it is pretty much That Game and Everything Else In My Life. A deep, delineating chasm can be seen from PsychicSpace, and it represents how neatly my life has been cleaved into two this week.

But I suppose I’m doing some other things this week, and I suppose you may be doing something else as well! So let’s gab about our existential happenings and all that gobbledygook.
