I love the video game nerds whining about the best game that's happened to Fallout in years. Sorry it's not a shot for shot remake of the game.

The trailer for "Dark Matter" is out, I think it'll premier in early may on Apple TV+. I loved the books so I'm pretty excited for this show. Unfortunately they put way to much info about the plot in the trailer.

The fallout series fucking rules so far. And the dorks bitching about it can suck it. It’s an open world game where you make your own decisions. Who would want a step to step remake? It would t exist. But it’s a fun mix of comedy and drama that I’m having fun watching. It’s just really well done. I haven’t found any problems with it yet, and the Easter eggs have been cool. I think it’s really self aware and they did a good job. I didn’t work on the show, so who am I to say? It’s just fun and it’s a show. It does reallllly make me wanna play fallout again. Even though I was never super into it.

Ive only seen high praise but I have been playing these games since like '99 so I'd consider myself a bit of a fallout nerd and I fucking love it. The set design is perfect, the dialogue is flawlessly "Fallout" I'm invested in the characters and I'm only two episodes in. Fuck these incel dickheads

I’m a huge, huge, huge Fallout fan and I’ve only watched the first episode but anyone complaining is a fucking asshole.
I really doubted their ability to capture the vibe and aesthetic of the games, I just didn’t think it would translate, but they absolutely did. The show looks FANTASTIC, I think the casting is great, some good Easter eggs and I love the story they started in that first episode.
Legit 10/10 so far and I’m so excited to get into the rest of the season.

I’ve never read through a book as quickly as Dark Matter and given Apple’s track record I think the show is going to absolutely rule. Agreed, though, for sure gave away too much in the trailer and I’m gonna recommend to my buddies to not even watch that or read a plot synopsis or anything before watching. Blind is best.

I was ready to tear Fallout apart, but by the end of episode 1 it had become the best video game adaptation that I can think of. I hate that they retconned my beloved Fallout New Vegas, but even that is not enough to stop this from being one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I love the art direction and how close they get to recreating the Fallout universe, especially the over-the-top gore that is present in the video games.
I'm on episode 3, if they stick the landing then this will go down as one of the best tv seasons of the 2020's.

If anyone is willing to trade logins, I'll trade you a Max for a Prime. Might as well capitalize on password sharing before it's gone forever. Really want to see Fallout.

Just started Fallout. Most unnerving scene involving nuclear bombs that I’ve seen since watching Terminator 2 in the theater with my Dad. I had nightmares for a solid year after seeing Sarah Connor get cooked on that playground fence. This one is far scarier and far more realistic.

The writing on Fallout has been stellar, the hype is very real. They pack a lot of jokes and gags into the episodes, and I love the way they tackled the RPG elements like skill points, side quests, RNG, etc. Maximums is a great character cuz he's just dumb af and keeps failing upwards, it kind of reminds me of my first playthrough of FO3 where I didn't know shit and I dumped all my skill points into strength and agility, but only had like 4 intelligence lol. Cooper's line about always being sidetracked with bullshit made me laugh and it was a great way to explain side quests to the audience that isn't familiar with RPG games. All the dialogue and the way things unfold are the way they would in the video games, not like a traditionally written tv show and I think that's what I like most, the writing just stands out from the traditional format
I'm almost to the last episode and it has easily been the best video game adaptation. I would recommend even if you've never played the games or cared for them. 9/10 it gets the SK seal of approval.

'The Sympathizer' started on HBO Max tonight. First three episodes directed by Park Chan-wook.
Episode 1 was cool. Three sick dissolves... Park is in his element <3

Finished fallout last night. Looks like I need to play NV before the next season (it's the only one I haven't played...I know, I know). Seriously I can't understand how anyone is shitting on it. Some of my favorite bits "You wanna stay here with me? I'm real sick. All this could be yours"
"He was fucking my chickens!"
"Thou shalt always get sidetracked with bullshit"
Matt fucking Berry! My only complaint
It goes without saying that Armisen and Rapaport will ruin every god damn scene they are in. Glad to see Rapaport was killed off, but the Brotherhood should've dropped a Mini Nuke on Armisen

I’m taking Fallout a bit slow. I’m 3 episodes in. I love it. I just don’t binge anything too hard. The Ghoul is the coolest. The Fallout games are my fave so it’s awesome that the show is bring a lot of attention to them. The episodes seem like they must have a massive budget.

I read that the season had a $153 million budget. I also read that Netflix's '3 Body Problem' had a $160 million budget... which is wild because 'Fallout' looking a million times better.
