Press Start to Continue: Vault 87

Image
In the west most super mutants were born in the Mariposa Military Base but as the Brotherhood of Steel moved east to the capital waste they quickly learned that the super mutant problem was not isolated to the west. Deep within the Vault 87 one learns how the super mutant threat came to the capital wasteland. History To understand what happens in Vault 87 one needs to know the history of Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV).  The FEV was not always know by that name it was once called Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP) and was designed to combat the New Plague by making the recipients DNA more resilient and immune to the effects of the New Plague .  PVP was tested on animal subjects to surprising results. Most of the animal subjects had doubled in size and showed increased brain activity.  This result caught the attention of the Military and they took control of the research and renamed it FEV. The FEV was then sent to such location as Mariposa Military Base and Vau...

Press Start to Continue: Vault 77

Image
Most of the stories of Vault Dwellers carry with them air of caution to those that hear them. There is one story that straight up terrifies those that hear it and that’s the story of the Puppet Man of Vault 77. History Vault 77 is unique in the experiment that Vault-Tech preformed on it. While most Vaults where populated in the hundreds or thousands 77 only had one man and a box of puppets. The Vault did its job and kept the man safe from the Fallout .  After a year alone the man discovered the puppet crate and began to give the different hand puppets names personalities and roles in his vault. The man was content with his puppets until he found the vault boy puppet that spoke to him. After that things changed the King puppet was murdered by the Vault Boy puppet. The Puppet Man and the Vault Boy puppet then left the Vault. The journey was eventful as they met other Vault dwellers it wasn’t until they met a few slavers that thing turned bad. Under stress they murdered a...

Press Start to Continue: Vault 34

Image
Imagine one day you open your mail to find this: Congratulations! You have been selected for the wonderful and luxurious Vault 34! You might be excited as you read about all the luxuries the Vault offered including an Olympic size swimming pool. However all that came at a price. History Vault 34 was built like a luxury hotel and who could ask for more right. Well all that luxury came at a price. The Vault could barely house the people expected to live there. On top of that the Armory of the vault made those used by the military look a little sparse, and it was meant to be left unlocked. Now as the overpopulation became worse the overseer used an executive override to lock the armory. This was met with hostility leading to a faction of dwellers breaking into the armory and left the vault armed to the teeth. This group would set a community at Nellis Air Force Base and became known as the Boomers. Those that remained in the vault would suffer even more misfortune. Sh...

Press Start to Continue: Vault 22

Image
West of Vegas Strip just before the Mt. Charleston Ski resort (now known as Jacobstown ) is a vault that reminds us why playing God is dangerous.   History Vault 22 was less of an experiment like many of the other vaults and more of a place to conduct experiments. The experiment here was to have the scientific minds in the Vault create plant life that would be more resilient in the Wasteland. The experiment was a success the modified plant life would thrive on artificial lite and did not absorb any radiation. However this took a rather deadly turn for the worse. The strengthened plant life produced viral spore that upon entering the human body it mutated the infected person into a Spore carrier . Many of the inhabitants of the Vault fell victim of the spore; however some managed to leave though still carrying the infection.  These dwellers made their way to the Zion Valley where there luck wasn’t so great there either.  Many became victims of the spores the...

Press Start to Continue: General rules to Online Multiplayer

So I like to game a lot and when gaming went online it was like a gift from above.  However that was not the case online gaming quickly became a place of anger and hate.  This only got worse when consoles adopted online multiplayer.  Now everyone has headsets and vents their frustrations at ally or enemy.  I truly walked away from online games when after a game of halo 3 that my team won I received several messages from my team mate, who were complete strangers,  telling me I suck, I shouldn’t  play, and to go kill yourself.  Now I reported them for harassment and then found the reason why my kill to death (KtD) ratio was less than there’s. Needless to say unless my friends wanted to play from that day forward I stayed away from online multiplayer. Every now and then I may venture back but it’s never with a game that has a high “try hard” population.  Now what does story has to do with the title well because of this I and my new exploration into ...

Art of the Shelf: It's coming from Japan!

So recently I reviewed the 1st volume of the new manga ULTRAMAN on this blog (you can read that post here ). Now as a tokusatsu fan I deeply enjoy the Ultraman franchise. I discovered it when i was young and just getting into the whole giant robo and kaiju thing. The show instantly pulled me in and kept me entertained. Now as an Adult Collector you would think I jump at the chance to collect high quality figures of the franchise. Now you would be right with one exception the Ultra-Act figures by Tamashii Nations are far too numerous and had fast collector price mark up than I have ever seen. So I stayed away sadly however when Tamashii Nation announced that Ultra-Act and S.H. figuarts  would be crossing over for a Ultraman figure based on the manga I was all on board.

Press Start to Continue: Vault 21

On the Vegas Strip is the only vault where luck and chance decide every squabble. Let Lady Luck settle things in Vault 21 History Vault 21 is one of the tamer of the Vault-Tech experiments. This Vault  look like one of the control Vaults with the one exception being that all disputes where decided with games of chance like Poker, Black Jack, and other Vegas games. Most of the people admitted into the Vault were all compulsive gamblers as well. Because of this setting Vault 21 what could be seen as a perfect anarchy society. However if war never changes then peace never lasts one day Robert House came with his army of Securitron robots came. They settle this dispute in the vault fashion with a game of Black Jack.  There is a saying in Vegas one that Robert House like to use and that’s “the House always wins”. House evicted the dwellers then stripped the vault of any needed electronics. With some convincing by the Vault inhabits House then turned the vault into hote...
