Those of you who held off on getting the post-nuclear adventure set in the Fallout universe's version of Sin City with the hopes of getting a beefed-up edition have just hit the jackpot. Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition ties together all of the add-ons—Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, Courier's Stash and Gun Runners' Arsenal—so that you can hit the increased level cap of 50 with no waiting. Europe gets FNV Ultimate on February 10th of 2012 and North America can open it up three days earlier on February 7th.
Inspired by last year's Fallout: New Vegas, Nanahra has made himself a replica New California Republic Ranger's outfit that, at a glance, looks as good as the real thing.
Not that the real thing's actually real. But if it was, it'd probably look like this. Only slightly more radioactive.
What's great about it is the level of detail on show; there's layers atop layers in the costume, while the helmet and gun look perfect.

Here's the brand-new trailer for Lonesome Road the next big expansion to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC epic Fallout: New Vegas.
In this one, publisher Bethesda summarizes: " You are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. Ulysses promises the answer as to why he didn't take the job, but only if you make one last journey into the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms."
You'll have to part with $10 to play this. Starting September 20 on Xbox 360, later on the other two platforms.
Poland Comes First, a political party in [GUESS] has made an advertisement that you may recognise. Especially if you like Fallout 3.
The clip, above, doesn't just take cues from Fallout 3's intro, it takes cues, stuffs them in its pockets then moves onto stealing whatever is left after the cues.
Effective at getting the gamer vote, we're sure, but for everyone else? It comes off as a little dramatic, guys. Going for the quick & easy scare vote.
Just goes to show: politics never changes.

This custom version of Monopoly, crafted by PinkAxolotl, really has to be seen to be believed. It's not like it's just a regular board with a few Fallout references made here and there. It's as Fallout-themed as it could possibly hope for.
And how Fallout is that? Let's see. Every square has been renamed, of course. The board has been entirely customised ("free parking" replaced with Fallout 3's "please stand by" screen, for example). The community chest and chance cards have been replaced by perks. The pieces have been "rusted" to give them that post-apocalyptic look. There's even Nuka Cola caps that can be used as money.
About the only complaint I could make is that it appears to have all its houses, pieces and dice. It's hard enough keeping track of all that crap in these peaceful times of ours, so Lord only knows how they all survived the apocalypse!

Nuka Break was a surprisingly great short film based on the Fallout universe, released earlier this year. It was so great, in fact, that the film's producers got enough cash together to go and make an entire series. And here's the first episode.
It's called Fallout: Nuka Break The Series (catchy!), and continues the adventures of a Vault survivor, his Ghoul pal Ben and a former slave across the post-apocalyptic wastelands of the nuclear-ravaged future.
New episodes will be released every second Monday. In addition to the returning cast from the short film, they've managed to rope in Guillermo Del Toro favourite Doug Jones (Abe Sapien in Hellboy, creepy eyeball guy in Pan's Labyrinth) to guest star as well.
