Planet Fallout

After a few months of hard work we bring you Planet Fallout:

Planet Fallout is excited to announce the opening of its hatch doors to the inhabitants of the Internet Wasteland. After months of isolation deep within an undisclosed mountain located in California, the ground work for this society and its technology has been laid. Welcome Humans…
Let’s talk a little about Planet Fallout and a couple key areas. Besides the latest daily news and feature articles written by staff covering Fallout 3 one of the biggest attractions at the site is the Fallout Wiki. The Fallout Wiki is a wealth of game content information that spans the entire Fallout series. What is the best part about the wiki? If you see something missing that you know about, than feel free to add or edit it in. Your expert knowledge of Fallout can help others and enrich the community. Drop by this page for more help regarding the wiki and how you can help. It is very easy!

Let us move on to the community powered databases here at Planet Fallout. What does ‘community powered databases’ mean exactly? In a nutshell it means you, the community, can submit or edit an entry into a database. For example, if you know of a Perk not currently listed in the Perks database, you can add it yourself (or edit an existing entry). Currently we have two live databases, one for Skills and the other for Perks. However, once the game is launched on October 28, 2008 we will be opening the rest. These include: Quests, Maps, Locations, NPC, Weapons, Schematics, Armor, Drugs, Tools, Items, Creatures and Radio Stations (right now these are being handled by the wiki). So be on the lookout for those once the game is out. We should also mention there will be a battery of more community-centric databases such as user created mods, videos and screenshots that will give you the ability to add these type of files directly to the site and share them with the community. However, since these areas pretty much rely on the actual game, we will be talking about them more in the future. I just wanted everyone to know these are planned.

Both Blinzler, Incognito and myself (in the shape of my evil alter ego Briosafreak101) are all working there, give us a visit and don’t forget to say hi!

XBox Focus Does a Silly Article

Worst article on Fallout 3 I’ve ever seen, in XBox Focus:

Fallout 3 has introduced a newer, more realistic system: rather than having one, almighty health bar for the entire body, there are different, specially designed bars for your head, torso and legs. While the words “health bars” may be synonymous with “1998″ these days, the mixture that Fallout 3 is expecting to put into use can be something more realistic than anything you will ever see in, Call of Duty 4, Crysis or Bioshock (I don’t care what excuses Bioshock used to guise it’s recovery system, it was still the worst part about the game.)

The rest is equally funny, involuntarilly. Spotted at NMA.
