Jonathan Nolan Compares Making Fallout To Making Batman
Amazon Prime Video’s adaptation of the long-running Fallout video game franchise arrives in April, with a stellar cast that includes Yellowjackets standout Ella Purnell and character actor Walton Goggins.
While the Fallout TV show doesn’t take its narrative from any particular installment of the franchise, the story will focus on the world at large. That decision allowed more freedom and has led executive producer Jonathan Nolan and the show’s team to tell their own distinctive story in this world that fans can still easily recognize as the world of Fallout.
“From the first conversation with Todd [Howard, game director of Fallout 3 and 4, and executive producer on the show] we were most excited about an original story,” Nolan tells Total Film.
Nolan then makes a comparison of using mythos to tell a focused story by saying working on Batman is very similar to nailing down the right story for the world of Fallout.
“Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work …
In House Of The Dragon, The Targaryens Have Peaked And Are About To Crash To The Ground
When Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon debuts on HBO Max on August 21, viewers will be reintroduced to the Targaryen family. However, this will be a far-different group of Targaryen’s than the two (technically three) members we saw in Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones fans know Daenerys and Rhaegar Targaryen (we’re leaving out the third member for this discussion), when the family was at their lowest point. “The Mad King” Aerys had been killed by Jaime Lannister, and the Targaryens were hunted down with Rhaegar and Elia being murdered, along with their children Rhaenry and Aegon. So what are the Targaryens like in House of the Dragon?

King's Quest Chapter 2- Rubble Without a Cause Review
Maybe the expansive and challenging first chapter spoiled me, but the second installment in the revived King’s Quest series from The Odd Gentlemen left me cold. Rubble Without a Cause, the follow-up to last summer’s fantastic A Knight to Remember, provides three or four hours of gameplay, and routine quests that act as gears to crank the plot forward. You do get more of the same beautiful visuals and quality voice acting headlined by Christopher Lloyd, but also an oddly cruel storyline that feels out of place for the series.
That said, Rubble Without a Cause sure can be charming. This chapter continues with the saccharine Saturday-morning-cartoon vibe that made its predecessor so compelling, with broadly drawn characters reminiscent of something that a TV network might have aired in the 1980s when the original King’s Quest games got their start. As with the first chapter in this planned five-part saga, these new tales–recounted by an elderly King Gra…
Call Of Duty- Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Review – Just Like Old Times
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s story picks up three years after the events of 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare. Captain Price’s iconic Task Force 141 is now fully assembled and, of course, another threat of global terrorism has emerged. Fresh new mechanics, more flexibility in how you complete missions, and a host of callbacks to the original series make Modern Warfare 2’s campaign feel satisfying despite an increase in difficulty.
This rebooted version of Task Force 141 features Price and the familiar faces of Simon “Ghost” Riley, Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, and John “Soap” MacTavish. However, Modern Warfare 2 introduces a new ally with Colonel Alejandro Vargas of the Mexican Special Forces. While this is a different story than 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, it does reintroduce General Shepherd from the original campaign. Modern Warfare 2019’s Kate Laswell and the PMC group known as Shadow Company all make a return as well.
7 Days To Die – How To Respec Your Skills
7 Days to Die offers plenty of skills to level up your characters, but surviving the zombie apocalypse can get a bit overwhelming, and you might decide you’ve placed your points into less beneficial skills. The game does give you a chance to reset your skill points, but it’s going to cost you. Here’s everything you need to know about resetting your skills.
The option to reset your skill points in 7 Days to Die comes from a rare consumable item called Grandpa’s Fergit’n Elixir. This elixir will return all of your skill points to you so that you can reinvest them. However, this handy elixir comes at a price.
This is an item only found at a trader shop, and it sells for 6,000 Dukes. If you already have some bartering skills, then you should be able to haggle a better price. For example, the screenshot above shows the price at 5,700 Dukes with 1 point spent in barter.
Grandpa’s Fergit’n Elixir is also a o…
Madden 21 Review – Feels More Like An Update
Madden NFL 21 is a tale of two games, really. It introduces The Yard, the best new Madden game mode in more than a decade, situating itself nicely alongside the breezy and fun Superstar KO mode that arrived last year. But outside of these exciting inclusions that are well-suited for short sessions, Madden NFL 21 feels all too familiar, even for an annual sports sim. The tentpole modes that require a deep investment haven’t received meaningful updates, and the on-the-field gameplay doesn’t do much to move the series forward and is hampered by surprising technical issues.
EA Sports has done well as of late with recognizing that not every player wants to sink a dizzying number of hours into Franchise or Ultimate Team. With Madden NFL 20, EA added Superstar KO, a sudden death overtime mode where each player gets one possession. It returns in Madden NFL 21 largely unchanged, retaining its excellent high-stakes matches. With Madden NFL 21, EA has added a second c…
Death Come True Review – Hotel Hell
The experience of waking up with a foggy mind in a weird, unfamiliar hotel room is already distressing, but there are myriad ways it could be even worse. Let’s say you blacked out so hard that not only do you not remember last night, you don’t remember anything at all. Making things even more upsetting, there’s an unconscious woman with her hands tied up laying in the bathtub. The real kicker, though, would be seeing a news report with your face on it describing you as a wanted serial killer. And now someone’s knocking on your door…
Death Come True is the latest project from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka. Much like that beloved adventure series, Death Come True places the protagonist in a horrifying, deadly situation where the only way out is to uncover the mystery of what’s really going on. But the approach here is very different: Where Danganronpa told its twisted sagas of death and despair through visual novel-style presentations, Death Come True…

Loki Episode 1 Answers The Question- What's Stronger Than An Infinity Stone-
This week saw the premiere of a brand-new MCU TV show on Disney+ in an all new timeslot. Loki will be released weekly on Wednesdays, rather than Fridays like its precursors WandaVision and Falcon and The Winter Soldier–but all this change really means for most fans is their theorizing and speculating will now have to be done mid-week rather than over the weekend. And Episode 1, “Glorious Purpose,” left plenty to start theorizing about–including the introduction of a brand-new (to the MCU, at least) bureaucratic body that is more powerful than even the Infinity Stones.
The premiere picked up where you’d expect, with Loki’s surreptitious escape from the Avengers back in 2012, thanks to the Tesseract. This event was shown in Endgame, leading fans to speculate that Loki, the show, would actually follow Loki’s adventures using the Tesseract, which contained the Space Stone, as he hopped around the universe causing chaos. It turns …
