So I’m a nerd, we’ve established that throughout the past year or so that I’ve had this web-blog-flog-mawg.
I just purchased the fashionably late sequel to one of my all-time-favouratist games ever, Fallout. I still to this day have the game manuals and the original discs, to the chagrin of my old man, whom has a tendency to let me know that I can’t find anything in my own room, nevermind the 11-year old game manuals and CD-ROMs.
My first impressions were pretty good, up until I opened the game disc case… For those of you whom remember and still own the original two Fallout games published by Interplay; you may recall that the manuals were of the highest quality, and functioned as props more than simple manuals due to their print quality, paper selection, and content. These spiral-bound magnificos contained loads of in-game wisdom as well as some out of game witty thoughts.
A large part of immersion comes from the guide that you read while the game is installing. Unfortunately, eMershun gets thrown around a fair bit by two-bit g4mers, looking for their next Call of Duty fix when they aren’t running away in shame from their cloudy gaming addiction, but I’ll digress because that’s not what this post is about.
To illustrate the point, look below.
