cheesy title, but it's the truth.
Here's the deal...I just found out about Bethesda Software's (developers of Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.) plans to release Fallout 3 in fall of this year!! Here's the description off the webpage:
Vault 101 – Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

For those who don't know or have never played the Fallout series, I would highly suggest playing them ASAP. Fallout & Fallout 2 were turn-based roleplaying games, with a tile-based scrolling graphics engine. Fallout: Tactics gave the option to dispense with the turn based stuff, and have it appear more real-time, instead of choosing your move every time. I really like the game. I would say that I like Tactics the best of the three, but maybe I wouldn't if I'd never played the first two. There was also a Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel game for the XBox, but I never played it. I didn't like the graphics, and didn'thave an XBox at the time, so no big deal.
Anyhow, I'm seriously jazzed, and hoping that my new video card (new to me, anyways - bought it for $25 off of Newegg.com. It's a 256MB Radeon x700 series. Not top of the line anymore, but better than my old one and definately affordable) will be able to run it. Yeah.
