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...

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...

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...

Most gamers know that in competitive multiplayer the oldest and most simple way of dividing up teams is Red and Blue.  History Well Vault-Tech decided to play this game with one of the Vaults. Vault 19 in the Red Rock Canyon outside Vegas did just that. The Vault separated its people into two factions a red faction and a blue faction.  Now wanting to make sure that the conflict would go on certain devices where designed to fail. Another conflict insurer was that the inhabitants of the vault all had pre-existing paranoia disorders. This is the all we know about vault 19 original inhabitants. Now by the year 2281 Samuel Cooke and his fellow escaped convicts have set up shop on Vault 19. Next week we let card talk, dice roll and roulette ball spin as we look in to Vault 21.  

Just southeast of New Vegas there is one of the more sinister of Vault –Tech’s experiments Vault 11. History This vault was a social experiment of the worst kind. Minutes after closing its door the overseer informed the people that every year they would have to choose one of the dwellers to be sacrificed or the vault would flood with toxic gas. Well they took this news like anyone would and chose to kill the messenger. That overseer was the first but not the last as that became the standard  method to choose the next sacrifice with the overseer elections. As time went on the Vault developed Blocs, similar to political parties, to control the nominations. The most powerful of these was the Justice Bloc. The Justice bloc however knowing of their power to control the swing of the vote as they held the majority blackmailed Katherine Stone into giving members of the Bloc sexual favors to keep her husband from being nominated. They nominated him anyway. In her rage and humi...

Vault 3 is located in the South Vegas ruins and was featured in Fallout: New Vegas. History Not much is known about Vault 3 other than the following facts. Vault 3 was one of Vault-Tech’s control control vault, meaning there were no experiments and this Vault was ran as advertised. designed to open after 20 years, but kept closed longer due to the wishes of the vault inhabitants. However, an unplanned water leak forced the occupants to open in hopes of trading with the outside. The people of Vault 3 where kind and very generous and welcomed anyone who needed shelter. This fact would sadly be the end of them. Sometime either in 2281 or before 2281 Motor-Runner and his tribe the Fiends are welcomed in. The Fiends then take to killing each and every resident of the Vault. The Vault is later made The Fiends base until the Courier comes along in October 2281. Next week we look into Vault 8

So Fallout 4 is now a thing and I've never been more excited. To celebrate this I have been playing Fallout 3 (3) and New Vegas (NV). Both games came out last generation and were very successful. Now the games while being very similar are very different.  Now there are many out there that say one game is better than the other. Now I've played both and enjoyed them both immensely but for very different reasons.  So to start this countdown to Fallout 4 we will compare the two and decide which one is better by  looking at the game mechanics, story,  DLC, and game performance. Let's get started  Game Mechanics Ok so the mechanics of the two games are pretty much similar. Both games use the new S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, are primarily 1st person, and use V.A.T.S.  Now thats mostly where the stop being similar. New Vegas makes some changes to the formula that are better and not entirely needed. We will look at these changes and evaluate if they are even need...
