Re: [Amazon Video] Fallout - now coming 4/12/24 (Happy Birthday to me?)
Well, I started softening up nongamer Wife for the Fallout TV series. She's heard me talk about the games over the years. She's heard songs from Galaxy News Radio in my MP3 collection. She knows that her (our) employer, the Institute, is a faction. And now she knows that I'm geeked for this upcoming show. It will be interesting to see whether she can pick it up and enjoy the Wasteland as someone who's skeptical and has next to no interest. I'm going to have to resist the temptation to pause the show every few minutes to explain background.

She might enjoy some of the trailers/intros/features for the games.

A high quality 6" figure for $20 isn't unreasonable.

It might actually be 4 figures - if you click through to the Amazon listing, there is also picture of a Vault Boy.

Re: [Amazon Video] Fallout - now coming 4/12/24 (Happy Birthday to me?)
I'm pretty interested in this:
Fallout The Series Miniatures
$10 a figure...that's pushing my limit pretty hard. But I have a feeling this series is going to get me itching to play some more Fallout:Wasteland Warfare. Although my brain has already been kicking around the idea of converting it over to Pulp Alley...after playing so much Pulp Alley the F:WW ruleset seems really fiddly to me. But I don't want to derail this conversation too far. Just happy to contribute!

Did they just say all episodes available April 10? (watching a commercial during the NCAA championship game). Pretty sure they said all episode April 10. Sweet.

It looks like there's a "Global Fan Premiere" event (i.e. a watch party) starting at that time (1730 PT) leading into a stream of the first episode at 1800 PT/2100 ET.

Why is it when I search for it, it says all episodes available, but only the trailer shows up?

I watched the first episode tonight via Amazon's watch party thing (which failed hard at first, but they got it working about 10 minutes prior to showtime). They pretty much nailed the setting, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the story plays out for the remainder of the season. I'm not much for binging so I'll spread it out over a few days, one or two episodes a day (most likely).

The music is good, but I was disappointed that there was no Ron Perlman voiceover.

You'd think so, at least until they came to terms with 'up' not being limited by a ceiling.
I watched the first episode, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. As an honorary Fallout nerd (I've got more Fallout lore in my head than most, but not enough to be a hardcore fan), I didn't see anything that was more than a tweak to the canon, which was nice.

My Fallout lore is only from FO4 and the minis game. But I absolutely love FO4, have played through it probably 4-5 times. Watched the first episode last night, and was blown away by how good it looks, how much it felt like playing the game. I'm not going to binge this one, I'm going to let it stretch out across multiple weeks, so I'll be checking out of this thread for a week or so to avoid any spoilers.

Suggestion: If you're going to post spoilers in tags, mention how far along you are. If not, nobody can (safely) participate in the thread until they've finished the entire series.
