What was the show in 1983?

BBC's FA Cup Final pre-match build-up with shots of a helicopter coming into land.

I think it'd be much more in keeping with the spirit of Fallout if, instead of actually showing the programme, they sent a load of messed up nonsense to your house just to see how you react.

Just watched the first three episodes. Absolutely superb. Loving it so far - it has definitely lived up to expectations.

One small point - and it’s borderline spoilerish about the whole concept and tied into what you just said, so I’ll spoiler tag it just in case.

Spoiler: About vaults

so far, all the vaults appear to have actually been legitimate, rather than experiments for shits and giggles as in the game series. But it’s clear Vault-Tec aren’t on the level either…

Can’t wait to watch the remaining episodes tonight in one long binge. Love it!

I'll similarly hide my reaction to that.

I'm outraged. I demand more pointless experiments for shits and giggles.

Hoping for an appearance of Gaaaaaarrrry…

Th.FA.cup final

 

[Braggfan]

After the first episode, I think the last time I was so excited to watch the rest of a series, was probably after watching the first episode of Game of Thrones.
Im about half way through now, and its absolutely f*****g superb. Everything I wanted it to be so far.

Looks really interesting. Never played the game (although my sons have so was familiar with it) and I presume they've done it in such a way that you can enjoy the show without having played it?

Very much so.

Quite similar to 'The Last of Us' in that regard, but I imagine there'll be some nods/easter eggs for the video gamers.

Never played the game but that TV show looks amazing.

I'd been avoiding this like the plague because video game adaptations have historically been, to put it mildly, rancid puddles of shit.

But the reviews this thing is getting are swaying me.

Well I've just watched episode 1 and if I were a single man the PS3 would have been fetched from the loft and fallout 3 fired up.

I’m three episodes in but watching another three tonight. It’s absolutely superb, forget other adaptations - it’s brilliantly done. Accessible for everyone whether you’ve played the games or not - whilst simultaneously a love letter.

It’s really, really good. Better than The Last of Us in my opinion, but then I’m a big Fallout fan and found TLOU a little bleak for my tastes.

Sadly my PS5 is off for repair at the moment but I know what I’m playing through (yet again) when is returned.

It’s usually telling when a show is renewed before it even launches, and it has already been renewed for another season minimum.

If Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan stay attached it could be one of the great all time shows.

I watched the first one earlier. Seems really well done with a lot of authenticity in relation to the game.

Just got done watching the first one.

Hooked

 

[Pevenseagull]

1 episode left to go.


I'm satisfied in a warm way.


I have a similar feeling as I did when I watched 'Blade Runner 2049'.

In both cases I have a considerable attachment to the source material and the people involved have really got things tonally appropriate and done a really excellent job.

Hopefully the final episode isn't shit.

My trusty XBox 360 still works

My trusty XBox 360 still works

I traded mine to get a PS4 after the Xbone launch fiasco. Haven’t looked back - just a shame about Zenimax being subsequently bought by Microsoft.

I can play Fallout 3 and New Vegas on PSNow, but I think I’ll go back through 4 again as it’s the most stable on PlayStation consoles.

I bought an old 360 early in lockdown. before that I hadn't played computer games for 20 years. Coincidentally the last game I really loved was Deus Ex.
