Just for the record: My homestead is such a major metropolis that fighter jets perform high-risk excercises just above grond level here. True story! I'm told this is because we're not actually on any of the respectable maps, only the rebellious, dangerously unstable ones. I spoke with a government representative about this, and he replied, with a confused look, "what? You mean there's people up there? Like in that movie, The Hills Have Eyes?". At this point, I did what any reasonable person would do: I sighed, rolled my eyes, and went home to duck and cover whenever those damn planes show up.
Anyway, all this is probably the reason why I feel so at home in the Capital Wasteland. It's just like home, with added dismemberment. And better music. In fact, the music in Fallout 3 is nothing short of spectacular (although I should probably point out that the dude in that video is not, in fact, Bob Crosby). The best music ever included in a computer game? You betcha. Just think about it: How many games make you sing happily along with lines like "pretty flowers need the sun", while splattering giant mutants into bloody little bits with a portable nuclear weapon? It's pure magic. Besides, having been exposed to her heavenly vocals, I now want to dig up the corpse of Billie Holiday and marry it in Vegas.
That can't be normal.

Commercial Break
We interrupt this lack of updates in order to bring you IMPORTANT NEWS.
Audiosurf is now available through Steam for $2.49, this week only. Insanity! That's the price of a cucumber! And perhaps a tomato. Still cheap, I say. If you own a PC at all and don't absolutely loathe music of all kinds, you really shouldn't let this one slip by. Why? I'll tell you why, you slobbering monkeys:
Because Audiosurf is awesome.
In fact, it may well be the most awesomest thing since ever. There's a demo to be tried, but trust me: You will love it, unless you are completely dead inside.
Or, y'know, just plain dead.
In which case, I really hope you're not reading this over my shoulder.
