I was on the Angry Planet podcast with @JasonQFields and @mjgault ! I got to talk about Fallout, including the new show. I was really stoked they reached out to me, I had an amazing time and a great conversation.

Crawl Out Through the ‘Fallout’

What is it about this post-apocalyptic video game that’s captured the hearts and minds of people for almost 30 years?

@PimsCrypt Im not really using the platform anymore but I still lurk a bit. Sorry to hear about the RWS thing, they did that to me too. I think the idea is 1) Their audience loves a target 2) If that audience reaction sucks enough, maybe you won't have the energy to criticize them. Sucks!
