Far Harbor Is Fallout's Largest DLC And It's Coming May 19th

"In Far Harbor, a new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost?"

If you have completed most of the quests in Fallout 4 and are death clawing for more stuff to explore the largest Fallout DLC to date drops May on 19th. Far Harbor seems to be a very dark sea tale. Fun to see the Children of the... Read All

The Children of Atom are located in the Glowing Sea in Fallout 4 (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Glowing_Sea).

May 19th seems to be a bit sooner than I expected. I'm glad that the game is getting this new DLC and that it is supposed to be the largest one Bethesda has done. One reason why I'm glad is because there will be more opportunities to level up and get some perks.

Ah, haven't got to the glowing sea yet. I've heard it's a cool place.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 05/05/2016 at 09:42am

Oh yeah it's cool!!!! If by "cool" you mean extremely radioactive and harboring dangerous creatures. LOL I think you *could* go in it without a power suit, but you won't last long. There's a scientist there you need to speak to, Virgil is his name I think, in order to find the Institute. As a side, he asks you to find the cure for his mutation in the Institute, but I didn't see it come up under my quest log, so I never did get it for him. But, there's a device in the Glowing Sea you need to retrieve anyway.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/05/2016 at 12:32pm

Greg, the cure doesn't have a quest marker, but when you're in the Institute you can find it. If you explore a lot you'll stumble across it.

The Children of Atom aren't only in the Glowing Sea. There are a few enclaves of them scattered around the Commonwealth. And apparently Atom is way angrier now than he was in Fallout 3.

Enhance Your Retro Library With This Gameboy Advance Buying Guide

Metal Jesus Rocks and Reggie made a great video i've used as a base for my list of Gameboy Advance games I want to collect. Like most Metal Jesus Rocks videos this covers all the models of the Gameboy Advance and associated hardware. They also make some recommendations of some classic titles such as Minish Cap, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Metroid Zero Mission & Fusion and more. If you are like me and are slowly collecting all the great classic titles or simply want to watch a fun video about some great video game systems then you should check this out.

Half-Life 2 Speedrun Method Explained

Speedrunning is amazing and I am in awe of the talent and care it takes to do it well. The fastest way through most games is to glitch it and go out of bounds to bypass massive areas to save time. YouTube BitRain makes a great video explaining how you can glitch through the walls in Half-Life 2 which is the basis for his 40:49 speedrun featured below.

Disney & Lego Release Prequel Force Awakens Star Wars Cartoons

Don't let the thought of a Force Awakens prequel give you the wrong impression, this new Disney web series is ridiculously enjoyable. So far Disney has released Poe To The Rescue (featured above), The Trouble With Rathtars, Hunting For Han and Rey Strikes Back. The shorts are semi-canon and feature voice work by some Star Wars veterans I don't want to spoil. Each episode in the series is loosely related and they converge a bit in Rey Strikes Back. Not sure when Disney will be done with the series but after watching these I want a proper Force Awakens Lego cartoon series!

Disney can't seem to hit a foul ball in anything related to Star Wars recently as these shorts are... Read All

I like how "Poe to the Rescue" picks up where the C3PO comic left off.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/03/2016 at 04:38pm

Yeah, I want to read that one.

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 05/03/2016 at 06:51pm

The first episode really feels like a How It Should Have Ended video. Similar humor and style :)

Travis Admin wrote on 05/04/2016 at 01:54am

So how canon is this? I assume Poe didn't actually bowl down a bunch of stormtroopers with a helmet. And BB-8 sounds so incredibly wrong. Lego is usually better about that.

Fan wanking aside, this was a lot of fun!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/04/2016 at 02:51am

That's why I think they are semi-canon. The events happened, but the exaggeration for comedy isn't to be taken as real. At least, that's how I watched them.

Will_Ball Game Mod Super Member wrote on 05/04/2016 at 05:21pm

JJ says Poe bowling down stormtroopers with his helmet is SO canon.

If you are looking for something to play and haven't opened Diablo 3 in a bit you might want to check out the latest Diablo season. You know, in between Hearthstone matches, Fallout 4's new DLC, Stardew Valley, Battleborn, Dark Souls 3 and the upcoming Doom reboot. We all have that kind of time right?

Upcoming Changes Coming For Stardew Valley

http://stardewvalley.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/version1_1-768x480.png

Stardew Valley is ConcernedApe's country life farming game mega hit and in a recent blog post he outlined a roadmap of upcoming features. At the top of the list of stuff I am very interested in are Mac and Linux ports. Since Stardew Valley has been a one man effort to date ConcernedApe will be enlisting the help of some Chuckle Fish developers for the ports and multiplayer support. This is actually a really great thing as it means he can focus on core gameplay additions solely.

New features that are on a list of things to come:

Version 1.1 — A substantial content update

Co-op Multiplayer

Localizing for non-english regions

Mac/Linux Ports

Console Ports

New Doom Features Original Doom Campaigns As Secret Easter Egg

iD Software recently revealed to IGN that the the upcoming Doom game features hidden easter egg levels from the original Doom and Doom 2. In each level of the new Doom campaign there is a secret lever that if pulled opens a door to a classic mission. This mission is then playable in the current mission you are in or unlocked and playable from the main menu. This iD tradition of including the original maps from classic games started with Rage continued to Wolfenstein: New Order and now to the upcoming Doom game. Hopefully you can unlock much of original games this way to play through it in total in the new engine.

New Information Comes Forward Casting Doubt On Something We've All Accepted

It's important you take time out of your day to watch the video above. I know it might seem far fetched but Graham Putnam's video casts serious doubts on the story we've all been spoon fed. It's time we all woke up to this truth and this video deconstructs the administrations narrative and the key players involved. It's nice to know people like Graham can spend the time to research such an important topic and I urge you to watch this video before it is censored to keep it from spreading.

Zelda Launching on Wii U and NX in March 2017

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/13087611_10154099831059280_8161451438740929865_n.jpg?oh=997323bdc16c8d58e4f7b4067b43b131&oe=57B1B46D

I'm not crazy about the news, but now we know that the NX and Zelda will launch in March 2017. Nintendo still won't say much about the NX, but Zelda will be the focus at E3.

jdodson Admin wrote on 04/28/2016 at 02:29am

Well, it's good that Zelda on the NX was finally confirmed and by this I imagine that means the NX will launch around the same time. I imagine we will also see more NX details to emerge from E3 as well!

I wonder if the NX will provide a markedly different Zelda experience than the Wii U?

Nintendo did something similarly for Twilight Princess as that came out on the GameCube and Wii. The differences were GameCube was slightly worse graphics and the Wii version used the new motion controls to a point. Both systems(I imagine the NX is) will be HD so I wonder how different they could be graphically?

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 04/28/2016 at 02:31am

From what I've read, Nintendo isn't going to be revealing the NX at E3. Hopefully we get some details though :)

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 04/28/2016 at 02:34am

Well damn. I'd probably want the better version, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the NX is. What little speculation I've read about it hasn't caught my interest.

Thanks for sharing the news!

Huh. That isn't fun.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 11/16/2016 at 05:52am

It looks like the game may actually be delayed until mid 2017:
