Fallout 4 is finally here and we slip the needle out of our veins for a couple of hours to talk about... Star Wars? No, not battlefront. Well, you'll see. Anyway, video games, movies and other stuff are discussed as we catch up on the weeks we missed - but don't fear, the last half of the show is Noob and Cynic talking about Fallout. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.
- qlcrew.com is one of the best websites on the internet. Especially if you like Giant Bomb.
- "Attack The Block" is a great movie starring John Boyega otherwise known as that dark-skinned dude from the Star Wars trailer.
- Noob continues to highly recommend Star Wars: The Old Republic, especially after the new expansions
- Jake Sones' article "The story of a decent game failing" is a fantastic read!
