This was supposed to be Tuesdays with Alli, but I got a little sidetracked. =P

anyway, Happy Sunday!

If you've seen me on xbl this past week, at all, you know Ive been playing Fallout 3. Lots of Fallout 3. =P

I've gone through all the DLC expansions and while they provide a nice change of scenery, they werent really game changing or anything. Anchorage is pretty linear, The Pitt , probably my least favorite, is a pretty industralized post apocalyptic version of Pittsburgh, run by slavers. Broken Steel was pretty neat, as you get to infiltrate Adams Air Force Base, the Enclave's last refuge. Point Lookout is kind of interesting. It takes place in this swampy, bog infested part of Maryland and features freaky cultists and mad scientists. Theres also a good 30 locations around the map to discover. Mothership Zeta has you escaping from the holding cell in an alien ship, running through the whole ship, from bottom to top, eventually culminating in a battle against another alien ship, from the bridge of the one you're on, Wrath of Khan style. That's definitely the high point, hehe. (Although if you search the landing site of the ship, in the wasteland, you find a dead alien and an alien blaster, with ammo, probably one of the more powerful pistols in the game).

I find myself looking forward to FFXIII quite a bit. I dont think Ive played a FF, since X2. so its been awhile. Its also been awhile since I sat down with a nice long traditional RPG. Most RPGs these days arent traditional, or the combat is first person or third person.
