Why Some People Still Care About Killing Children In Fallout 4

Fallout 3’s “Killable Children” mod was released in 2008, and since then, it’s been downloaded over 150,000 times by PC players. It’s probably no surprise this relatively popular type of mod made a comeback with Fallout 4, too, right? OK, maybe this seems weird to some of y’all. But, this type of mod has a…

You Should Try Fallout 4 Without Fast Travel 

For a couple of days now, I’ve been trying an experiment with Fallout 4—and it’s completely transformed my experience with the game. Last week, I read a thought-provoking piece by Tom Chick,who lauded Fallout 4’s geography but lamented that the game’s mechanics undermine that landscape: Bethesda has no interest in addressing the difficult problem of…

Fallout 4: The Kotaku Review

In the late 20th century, people hoped that the new millennium would usher in an age of promise: hoverboards, flying cars, personal robots, and the like. That future, the one that everyone predicted, never quite came to pass. Not in the way we thought it would, anyway. Yes, living in 2015 has its perks. We…

Fallout 4’s Nod To Salem Lives Up To The Terrifying Legend 

Fallout 4 is set in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston is pretty close to Salem, the town famous for the wrongful execution of women who were suspected of being witches. Naturally, Bethesda had to include Salem in some way in Fallout 4—and they did! I don’t remember how I heard about the Salem Witchcraft Museum location in…

A Fallout 4 Boss That Scared The Crap Out Of Me

Sometimes, Fallout 4 feels less like an RPG than it does a straight-up horror game. I’ve gone on missions that took me well beyond the main map, to a hellish inferno where nobody treads. I’ve gotten caught in storms that turn the entire wasteland into a dangerous, irradiated netherworld. More than once, I’ve gotten ambushed…

Fallout 4’s Power Armor Is Better Than Ever

I remember the first time I saw Power Armor, back in Fallout 2. Frank Horrigan, the game’s villain, mowed down a group of innocents right in front of my eyes. It was horrifying, but the message was clear: you don’t mess with Frank. Frank is a badass. And if you cross him? He WILL fuck…

Fallout 4 Has An Infinite Caps Glitch

Stephen Colbert Explains The ‘Real’ Reason Activision Bought Candy Crush

5.9 billion, spent on a company that’s known for making a match-3 game.Wild, isn’t it? That’s more than Disney spent on Star Wars! How do you explain such a thing? Stephen Colbert has a theory.

How To Get One Of Fallout 4’s Best Guns At The Start Of The Game

When you first leave the vault in Fallout 4, you’ll notice there’s a locked container at the end of the level. It has a gun; a really good gun, by the looks of it. One problem: there’s no way to actually open the container so early in the game. Unless, of course, you know of…

Fallout 4 Just Gave Me An Achievement For An Embarrassing Death

Wow, Fallout 4. What a troll! So I was playing Fallout 4 today, when I came across a character labeled “Raider Scum.” That NPC wasn’t shooting at me or anything, but with a name like that? I figured I had to kill him. Right? Uh…about that. Welp. I got wrecked. It wasn’t even a contest.…
