    The sun rises and you walk into your apartment wearing the same clothes you had on the night before. Your roommate asks"Netflix and chill?". You nod. “How was it?”, they ask. “It…it…was earth shattering” you reply with the face of someone who genuinely feels like life will never be the same. “Holy shit! Was the sex that good?!?” asks you roommate. As you shake your head you answer, “no sex”. Bewildered your roommate asks, “No sex?!? Then what the hell did you guys do all night that’s left you like this?”. In a distant voice you say, “we binged Arcane”.

      Is that the League of Legends show? Is it good even if you’ve never played the game?

        Oh my god yes. Watch it. You’ll be so happy you did. Riot did a fantastic job relaying such raw emotions through animation. If you know the game, then you’ll know some of the characters but it truly doesn’t matter if you do or don’t.

          Dude you weren’t kidding. I’m less than 3 minutes deep in the first episode and it’s already messing me up. Jeez.

          Alright, thanks for that reassurance. It’s hard to explain to people why they should watch a show you love, I know that through experience. I can tell you really loved this show, so I’ll make sure to check it out. 👊🙂 Respect!

      I’ve played every fallout including Tactics. I enjoy good drama. The lore blips don’t really matter to me as drama is about people interacting based on their circumstances and relationships, not about whether a specific numbered year matches up to another specific numbered year in a fictional universe. For the purposes of what makes drama work I would say it was a 7/10. Maybe a 7.5 because it had cool fallout stuff in it.

        You put words into my mouth. I don’t mind some of the “alterations” but as with any creative works and drama-- if it works, it works. People complained of the Brotherhood’s cultish acts which deviated from the videogame, but it is in line with real life drama where any organisations do not stay the same overtime. For example, the Catholic Church of today is not the same as the Catholic Church 500 years ago.

      It’s good, but it doesn’t care about the lore so people got mad for a while. Just like what bethesda does.

      I really enjoyed it, and I usually have a hard time getting sucked into tv shows. That said I probably only have about 15 hours across all the fallout games I’ve played (3,4,NV) because I get stressed out about rads and weapon decay lol

      I’m really enjoying it so far! I’ve never been into the fallout games but I have dabbled with 3 for a few hours. I can tell that if feels like they really care about the source material. They captured the look and feel of bringing a video game to TV. The cinematography and set designs are absolutely fantastic!

    The fallout show is liked because it plays into the male fantasy Just like the games
