CDC #391 – International Justice – Results

This week's winner is StarkillerRX for Solomonar. Such a cool idea for a character, and a fascinating mythology that not only taught me something, but actually peaked my curiosity to learn more about these beings.

Well done you.

Your prize will be posted to the blog later this week.

Fallout 76 Review!

Hey everyone, back again with a review. I know Fallout 76 has been out for a little while, and, while I did play the Beta, I wanted to spend some time with the full game first before writing a review. I thought that was only fair. So, here it goes. I won’t be getting into spoilers, either, as per usual. Oh, and all the screenshots/pictures posted are my own.

I don’t know, do with this what you will.
