Not Fallout Oblivion After All

So says ShackNews:
“You so much as breathe, and I’m gonna fuckin’ end ya.”
The words may as well have been coming directly from Bethesda. It felt like the company was challenging me, daring me to write anything negative about their new sequel to Black Isle’s classic RPG series. I was very skeptical of whether the company [...]
