PS3 owners shouldn’t buy Fallout 3 DLC

Posted by Sweetnuts On May - 22 - 2009

Fallout 3

As you may or may not have heard, all of the Xbox 360 exclusive downloadable content for Fallout 3 will be coming to the PS3 this summer, thereby making the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC not Xbox 360 exclusive at all. Timed exclusive? Whatever, that doesn’t mean anything to me.

    In addition, however, two new chunks of DLC are coming to both platforms, though the 360 gets it first… again. So you might think to yourselves, dear PS3 owners, that you’ve waited long enough and want to buy that DLC right away. But not so fast! Please tell us, brother Sweetnuts!

    Arcade games still got it… if they’re in the right place

    Other than Dance Dance Revolution, I never see anyone playing arcade games any more. Wait, scratch that — I do see drunk people play stuff at bars, but bars are not arcades. Convenience stores are not arcades either, but the games featured there are apparently really compelling to people in the south. Oh no! Not the South!

    Video Games and Computers labeled ‘Energy Vampires’

    Energy Vampires

    An international study group (whatever that means) reports that all of our high-tech gadgetry makes up about half of our energy bills every month. Sucking down more juice than your refrigerator, washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc., our computers and video game consoles are now considered to be ‘energy vampires’. Don't read more, it's too scary! Vampires! Aaaaahhhh!!!

    Welcome to Splosions!

    Well, this is the very first post on Splosions!, and we are quite excited to get things started. Yes, quite excited. What can you expect from us? To be honest, we don’t know for sure. What we do know is that there are too many news sites on the Internet. Whether your choice is IGN or Gamespot or Kotaku or Destructoid, the point is that you already have those places to get your news — you don’t need another.

    We’re trying to do something different, or at least we want to do something different. Creating stupid videos and podcasts, doing some reviews, sharing our opinions — a lot of times there’s some crazy shit going on in the world of gaming, and we will share our take on stuff if we have something to say about it. Not just games though, we’ll write about movies and burgers and machine guns too. We don’t limit ourselves.

    If you are the type of person that doesn’t take games too seriously, doesn’t care about sales or fanboy wars, but you also nitpick the littlest of things and laugh at stuff that doesn’t quite make any sense, Splosions! is the place for you. Or it will be when we actually put something on here.

    Grab a Capri Sun and have a look around.
