Oh, Fallout, I do have a peculiar relationship with you! On the one hand, all of my opinions on the games I never played are largely the product of Hbomberguy‘s videos on the series! On the other hand, I myself acquired a free Fallout Vault Boy Bobblehead when I purchased Super Smash Bros 3DS for reasons unbeknownst  to me. Regardless, it is a cute and quirky little thing, not half-bad as far as I’m concerned.

Back to the topic of today’s blog: A Fallout fan has recently been setting up various places to hide little Fallout bobbleheads around Phoenix Arizona. Others have been documenting their hunt for the cranial-enlarged pieces of gaming memorabilia on YouTube, revealing the various deductive steps he’s been taking to find them to hopefully encourage other treasure hunters to join the fun.

Brief Explanations: Fallout, Vault Boy and More: The Fallout games… Well, the modern ones at least, have been developed by Bethesda, who’ve garnered something of a reputation for making games that vary from incredible masterpiece to glitch-filled messes with a bad case of shanked jankers *cough cough (Fallout 76) cough cough*. The Vault Boy mascot (as shown in the thumbnail above) can be collected in various Fallout games in bobblehead form, each one serving to upgrade your character in some form or other.

The “Bobblegeddon” project is the work of ‘mafnxxx’… For my own reasons, I’ll henceforth refer to the bobblegeddon project’s author as ‘Ma Finks’. This is his Reddit, he’s also posted his various clues to the ‘IRL Easter Egg hunt’ for the project on Imgur, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Ma Finks also hand-crafts each of the bobbleheads he hides, so +10 Artistic Respect Points for willingness to potentially sacrifice your art… for art! Here’s a video from Ma Finks documenting the start of bobblegeddon!

There is a method to the Ma Finks Madness with hiding the bobbleheads! He places them based on a thematically similar corresponding stat or perk related between Fallout and Arizona. For example, the medical bobblehead was placed outside the Louisa Kellam Center for Women’s Health.

While some discovered bobbleheads have been left untouched since found, other Reddit users have theorised many may be already gone, as there are some Fallout bobbleheads with missing pieces! Ma Finks has said anyone who finds a piece may keep it and any of the figures are for anyone to take who wants them.

As Bobblegeddon started on December 29th of 2021, any Arizonans reading this may be fresh out of luck to find their own bobblehead, but hey, check the various online spaces and communities dedicated to finding the bobbleheads and maybe you’ll be in luck.

As always, E3 this year was packed with new releases and revelations fans could expect for a variety of different video game franchises (If you missed our breakdown for the event, you can check it out here). Yet sometimes news surrounding the event can be swept under the radar, just like this piece of news.

Yes, Bethesda has confirmed Inon Zur is putting together the score for its highly anticipated sci-fi epic Starfield. 

The composer confirmed he would be working on the sci-fi game back in June on his website, stating he would be working with Bethesda once more. He expresses that he considers it to be an honour to work on the game’s score, adding that he admires and appreciates the entire team behind Bethesda for entrusting it to him.

Zur also describes his composition efforts as having a “unique, classical sci-fi direction” and you can hear a snippet of his work in the trailer released at E3, as well as the second trailer “The Journey Begins”, which teases concept art and behind-the-scenes footage.

The sentiments go both ways as Bethesda’s director and executive producer Todd Howard expressed Zur is a “good friend and long time collaborator” and describes what Zur has done so far for the game has been “beautiful and wonderous”, adding he cannot wait to share the score with the fans.

Inon Zur has composed the soundtracks for many epic games in the past: Baldur’s Gate 2, SOCOM 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Fallout 4 just to name a few. Yet this will be his first plunder into AAA sci-fi, with Starfield already being compared to Halo, Mass Effect, and Destiny.

The post Starfield Composer Confirmed first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Since the beginning of time, or rather since 1972 when Magnavox Odyssey, the first gaming console, was released, Gamers have often debated what the best gaming console of all time is (clearly it’s the Sony PSP that was truly ahead of its time and was probably built by a time-travelling inventor from the future, but nevertheless).

Now, the pop culture site, FandomSpot, has constructed an analysis and has given us an answer…

The analysis is based on collected reviews of 19 of the industry’s biggest gaming franchises that can be found on Metacritic, including Call of Duty, FIFA, and Grand Theft Auto. They tracked the Metacritic score of each release from each franchise.

15 out of 19 games were from the PS3/Xbox 360 generation, making those consoles, the Golden Era of gaming consoles. These games consisted of Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, FIFA 10, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. While they weren’t listed, it is assumed that reinvented games Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved were also included.

PS2/Xbox generation came second (my personal faves) with 13 out of 19 games being on from that generation, showcasing that many of the best games from these franchises were playable on both generations of consoles.

It’s fair to say then that PS2/Xbox walked so PS3/Xbox 360 could run.

However, you should take this analysis with a pinch of salt as the methodology behind it is very flawed. Major gaming franchises, such as sport and racing games, are hardly ever representative in the crème de la crème of games. Using only the Metacritic website is also not well-represented on the international scale some games have; not everyone uses English-based websites to review games. There are also franchises that only go back so far and get reinvented as time goes on.

Nevertheless, the analysis is still fun to look at and does still give us an insight into the most popular games at the time. The nostalgia alone when thinking about these consoles will certainly get you misty-eyed as you look back and remember how simple life used to be.

Fallout

Bethesda tease an all-new Fallout game, finally!

Bethesda is currently teasing a new Fallout game on the franchise’s website, which is telling fans to “Please Stand By” for an announcement. A countdown clock is also visible underneath this statement, and this text can be found in the source code of the site –

“PA system failure has occurred. Shutdown of the Masterbrain has been authorized and all sensitive materials have been removed for security purposes. Please attempt re-access. Have a pleasant day.”

The company has also announced that it will be holding it’s very first E3 press briefing this year, which will be on Sunday 14th June. Let’s hope that we’ll be hearing at least a little more on the game, as the last instalment was 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas, which was developed by Obsidian Entertainment.
