The funny thing about quoting Shamus Young is that he didn't know what he was talking about and thought the games took place one generation after the war. I wonder if that applies to Razorwire as well.
Fallout's 1950's AtomPunk setting was supposed to be a lens to explore a Post Apocalyptic America. The late great Shamus Young says it better than I ever could: "It’s not the 1950s. It’s the year 2077 as the people of the 1950s would have imagined it....You roam all over the place in Fallout 1, and you meet a lot of strange people. But nowhere in that voyage do you meet comical throwbacks to the old world. You don’t meet any greaser gangs. There aren’t any old-timey prohibition-era gangsters with tommy guns. No pinstripe suits, no letterman jackets, no horn-rim glasses, no pompadour haircuts or beehive hairdos, no baseball players, no sundresses, no neckties, no newsies, and not a single gumshoe. There aren’t any wacky DJs playing 200 year old doo-wop songs. The game is not subtle about this. The old world is fucking gone. Like, that’s the point. But then Bethesda got their hands on the Fallout license and they somehow thought it was about a 1950s-flavored apocalypse. That’s multiple layers of wrong."
I can't wait for this to flop
A new photo from God of War: Laufey is making the rounds.
I won't lie, Faye looks gorgeous here. Also, I hope this finally shuts people up and they stop calling her ugly.

Why do they keep making Blade Runner content? Yeah, the franchise is cool, but it flops everytime and everytime they spend more on it, so it can flop harder.
The last pint before Healy makes them cost £12, as an omen of things to come it started raining after this picture was taken
