Usually I don't gush over video games unless they're really, really awesome, much less peripherals. As a rule, I hate peripherals and everything they stand for. But, as a fan of both Rock Band and The Beatles, I have to gush over this for a moment:

You can bet your sweet bippie I'll be getting this game.

My Fallout with this blog (hah!)
It's obvious that I haven't posted in several weeks, and right after starting the stupid blog, no less. Well, that's because I picked up Fallout 3 on a whim and couldn't put it back down. Luckily, I beat it and have thus regained a little of my life.
I hadn't picked it up because I could never get into the first Fallout game -- I don't know why, it just never appealed to me -- and while everyone else was ranting about Fallout 2, I watched a gameplay video and played Diablo II instead. I didn't know what had happened in Fallout and I hadn't liked it anyway, right? No reason to pick up Fallout 2.
But after playing Fallout 3, I sort of regret this choice. I'm a huge Elder Scrolls buff (I even love Oblivion, as long as I've properly modded the crap out of it), and while I was playing Fallout 3, all I could think was, "This is the game Oblivion SHOULD have been." Everything about it is improved -- the combat system is unique and refreshing (when I'm playing TF2 I occasionally try to go into V.A.T.S. mode now), the barter system is wonderful, the story is beautiful and a little heartbreaking at times. I can't believe the two games were made by the same company, much less the same engine. I almost wish they would remake Oblivion from the ground up to be more like Fallout 3.
Anyways. I might get Fallout 2 now. Fallout 3 is obviously a huge branching from the idea of the original, but the story has sucked me in. I may as well try again, right?
