It looks like a whimsical picture of a goldfish in a bag, but the health and shield bars indicate the harsh realities of being Zer0.

What the heck is up with this dragon?

Bethesda’s free Fallout Shelter game isn’t as bad as it could be.

It has those tap-and-wait, build something and wait for it to generate resources, pay real money for in-game booster items mechanics that make so many “free” mobile games awful. But for once the microtransactions aren’t buying you the ability to play the game some more instead of waiting eight or twenty hours, they just give you some extra cool stuff that you can also get through normal gameplay, albeit infrequently. And your decisions and response times do have an actual impact on the game—an infestation of radroaches could wipe out half the population of your vault if you’re not careful.

But in the end it’s just not very interesting. After a couple of days I couldn’t be bothered launching the game, not even to recall the vault dweller who was exploring the wasteland before he died of radiation poisoning. (Sorry, dude.)

It does work, though, assuming its true purpose is getting people excited to play Fallout 4. All the familiar tropes and objects (and sound effects) from the Fallout world have me itching to stop mourning my lost 50-plus-hour Fallout: New Vegas save and start a new game.

I'm about to (re)try playing the first Assassin's Creed game, with a controller this time to see if that makes it fun enough to get through the grind so I can play the second game in the series. So I looked at the store page on Steam to make sure it actually has controller support. And then I clicked on the negative reviews.

I'm a sucker for negative reviews on Steam. Like the one that starts:

The game could be much better if there would be no combat and less towers.

Wait. Isn't the game just cutscenes, combat, and climbing on stuff? Does Steam user 'unknown'1 want a game that's just cutscenes? (Turns out "towers" are a more specific and large thing that I'd forgotten about, but ssshhh.)

Oh right, there's also the riding on a horse part.

It seems that it was forbidden to drive the horse fast back in these days - the police will chase you if you break the speed limit (stealing horses is still fine).

Not actually mocking this. I love non-normative English sentences constructed by people with a different primary language and this is beautiful. Also, stealing horses is fine.

Sound is good, graphics are fine, story exists.

Sold.

Contemplating this achievement and its title sends me into a perplexed reverie every time.
