Fallout Online Newsletter: Now on the Pip-Pad


The newest issue of The Armageddon Rag, the official newsletter of Fallout Online [http://www.fallout-on-line.com/], is out and for your reading convenience is now being offered in a handy-dandy new Pip-Pad format.

What, you ask, is a Pip-Pad? It turns out that back in the day, RobCo experimented with some larger versions of its classic Pip-Boy [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Pip-Boy], developing a model with a much larger screen that was capable of display more information, at higher resolutions, than its famous wrist-worn hardware. The existence of the devices came to light when they were discovered in an old RobCo warehouse and while they suffer from a few bugs in the text processor, they look like they could quickly become the next must-have device for every hip, with-it warrior of the wasteland.

The people behind the Armageddon Rag are doing their part to move post-nuclear techno-fashion along by distributing the latest issue of the Fallout Online newsletter on the device. Three stories feature in this issue, including a transcription of some Ghoulish rambling and a quick look at "the first announced playable race in Fallout Online," an action-packed tale in which "some Brotherhood apes get it in the end" and an introduction to Murphy's Law, a new column that not even the editors really understand but were nonetheless forced to run because all the regular contributors got caught in a bar fight.

It's funny, it's informative and it's only in the Armageddon Rag, now available on the hot and stylish new Pip-Pad at interplay.com! [http://www.interplay.com/foonl/aw/foo000300.html]

I've lost hope on this game when they said it wasn't a sandbox game.

Imagine a sandbox fallout? Raiders, caravans, scavenging, squatting old military bases, creating prosperous villages...

Raiders attacking scavengers after they leave abandoned vaults etc.

It could be so good. So gooooood I tell you. It won't be, at least not by from what little I've gathered on the forums.

Hehe Pip-Pad sounds funny, I like the parody of the iPad.

I haven't been keeping up with whats been said on the forums, but the article Murphy's Law gives me the impression that when you start a character you will be a Vault-Leaver, as the article is about someone who has just left a vault, and is trying to think about how they should name themself, what sort of person they want to be, and what sort of weaponry they want to wield.

At least, that's the impression I get.

Well, even if he left a vault, it wasn't a sealed one, since he knows about the Vault Dweller and Chosen One.
