Because this keeps getting mentioned and the comparisons aren’t fair in some instances, here’s a list of New Vegas development team and if a Y/N if they still work at Obsidian.

For anybody who wants to hear the Ron Perlman Fallout story (the one where he threatened my life - jokingly), it's in this interview, which they finally released publicly. Note that this interview is from many months ago, so it doesn't reflect any recent events. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_2u...

Welp, Obsidian did have layoffs. Way to go, Microsoft.

Ever since I stumbled across the Capcom-style #Fallout New Vegas 1st companions image below, I've been a fan of Penett. More cool work is on @penettanonymous.bsky.social - there's a range of great stuff - and if you run a games company, consider hiring this concept artist. : )

California has a “Pets for Vets” adoption program for no cost beyond applying w/ ID and seeing which shelter dog or cat is the best match for you. If a veteran or know a veteran who could benefit, it’s worth checking out – for you and dogs and cats looking for a second chance. : ) petsforvets.com

Pets for Vets

Welcome to Pets for Vets. We are a non-profit charity that helps to match veterans with A.C.E. trained animals. These animals help our veterans return to a normal life.

Worried going in that it may have been over-hyped, but “Obsession” was a great horror movie. The ending doesn’t just stick the landing, it repaves the runway. Also, and this is not a joke, the monologues were some of the most terrifying shit I’ve ever heard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKGQ...

Had a sit down with the one and only Carter Pembridge. We were going to talk Star Wars, but ended up with Fallout, The Boys, dialogue combat, and what can suck about forming your own studio if you love making games. We eventually get to Star Wars and KOTOR2, though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSy8...

Rest in peace, Master Kavar, the Jedi Order thanks you. Tom Kane's voiced so many roles, it's a shame to hear of his passing - he'll be missed. #StarWars #KOTOR2

Tom Kane has passed away at the age of 64 He voiced Yoda, Professor Utonium, and many other roles

This is the kind of wholesome geek culture moment we love to see. While in Poland filming the new Highlander movie, Henry Cavill received Warhammer 40,000 miniatures from a local ROLEY store owner and thanked him by autographing an amazing Ultramarines helmet. The smile on his face says it all.
