By the shovel of Thor!

Well they didn't say they had to be "easily" soloable...

Well I found myself spending more time wandering the northern side of the map rather than pushing the main quest onwards. I reached the point where I should be handing a cigar to dogmeat to smell, but I got side-tracked trying to work through the growing list of quests I'd already picked up.... Now looking at my stats I see I've discovered 168 locations.. And that after 62 days of wandering the wasteland my completed Quests is 46 and breaks down into 25 miscellaneous objectives, 3 completed main quests, 18 completed side quests, 10 BoS quests and 13 Minuteman quests.... Companion-wise, I've found: MacCready (a former lost lamplighter kid from FO3 turned sniper/hired gun), Curie (the French medical droid), Caite (the fighting irish lass), Valentine (synth pulp noir detective), Piper (roving troubleseeking reporter), Codsworth (your former house mr handy), and Dogmeat of course. Technically, Preston should be available, but for some reason he only gives missions, talks when you're handing them in, and won't actually show up a "join me" option when I try talking to him.

Also of note.. Peter Jackson admits he 'winged it' on the Hobbit

While we had that wander on how the prequel novelisations worked so much better than the film earlier.. Apparently Tor has been doing a re-read and editorial on them in advance of the new movies. Real Talk: You Should Just Ignore the Star Wars Prequels and Read the Episode III Novelization

It's that vital and all important aspect of "celebrity gossip" that balances out the "war war fear terror blood economic crash news" that we get bombarded with.

There is something to be said for casually strolling around in that Silver Shroud outfit. It's very stylish for the wasteland.

Well it has that swings and roundabout aspects to it. The core concept is kind of there? A withdrawn, introverted character who goes through a very.. humdrum life, but has a really vivid imagination always daydreaming about exciting adventures out in the world. Then something happens and he gets pulled into exactly the kind of thing he fantasised about. Sure, it goes from wandering into dreams of being the action hero, the thrilling spy and skirt chaser to instead being more of a voyeuristic, see the world through someone elses travels. But the core of that spirit is there.

Engineering, it can be fun... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCxco6227xo

Of course, Sheen is now facing stigma because a bunch of his old girlfriends are coming out in the "Holy Crap, he had this, didn't warn me and still screwed me without proper protection!" and are planning on suing his ass off. That and the possibilities of criminal charges due to Californian law if you're HIV positive and don't warn people, it gets classes as criminal assault or some such. So, that's a whole nother side of the issue.

I think dogmeat is the only sensible one for any stealth type play. The rest tend to make it quite awkward if you try to be sneaky in more than a general cautious manner.

For the film oddities.. John Malkovich and Robert Rodriguez have made a movie that won't be shown for 100 years...

Would this be treading on dangerous grounds to put this one here?

I think it represents that you can get sneak attacks when everybody knows that someone is around but they don't know where. So until they can actually see you it will still allow sneak attacks. At least, that's my theory...

Or for that other fun view point...

As the saying goes...
