7 of Fallout’s Most Horrifying Vault Stories
The post-apocalyptic world of Fallout is home to some truly terrifying things. Around every corner is a Deathclaw waiting to dismember you. In every abandoned factory, a pack of raiders eager to shoot you dead and steal your precious coffee cups and pencils. It’s a bleak existence for any lone wanderer, but for Fallout fans, these horrors are commonplace - almost run-of-the-mill
If you want truly terrifying post-apocalyptic tales, you have to look inside your would-be shelters: The Vault-Tec Vaults.
Each of these tombs carries a dark secret; an experiment engineered by the twisted minds at Vault-Tec. Below are 7 of the most horrifying vault stories, as taken from Fallout 1-4 and supplementary Fallout material.
Director on Why Steve Jobs Movie Flopped
Despite critical acclaim, Universal's Steve Jobs film underperformed, and director Danny Boyle has revealed why he believes that was the case.
In an interview with BBC (via The Hollywood Reporter), Boyle said he thinks the studio's release strategy was the reason for the film's limited success, having jumped the gun on a widespread launch.
"It's very easy in hindsight, but I think it's probably that we released it too wide soon," he said.
Universal recently dropped the film from its wide release of 2,400 screens to just 400 screens as of last weekend. Steve Jobs has made roughly $17 million to date, roughly half of its reported production budget.
Former WWE Heavyweight Champion Joins 5 Star Wrestling
Rey Mysterio, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, will be featured as a playable character in the upcoming PlayStation 4 title 5 Star Wrestling: ReGenesis, Serious Parody Ltd. has announced.
See the announcement trailer below.
"We here at Serious Parody have huge plans for 5 Star Wrestling and signing the absolute greatest high flyer of all time, Rey Mysterio, is not only an incredible step in the right direction for our company but on a personal level, as a life long wrestling fan, it’s a dream come true to work with one of the very best wrestlers in history," Serious Parody Founder and CEO Dan Hinkles said in a statement.
"Rey Mysterio could sign with the WWE at anytime but he has chosen to work with us instead; it’s truly surreal and hopefully a sign of big things to come," he added.
Top 25 Holiday Movies of All Time
Here at IGN, we like to argue; not about who tracked mud through the kitchen, or which of the editors used all of the toilet paper in the restroom. We like to argue about movies… which is better than which and why. Unfortunately, after the umpteenth shouting match, the higher-ups decided it would be a whole lot cooler to put all of this arguing to positive use.
So in honor of the holiday season, we're focusing today on Holiday Movies. Although many may have a preconceived notion of what such a film might be (Christmastime flicks), we opened our minds to all the films that take place on or during holidays.
Please note that we only considered feature films so all TV specials and made-for-TV movies didn't qualify for our list.
Iron Banner to Return in Next Destiny Update
The Iron Banner is returning to Destiny next week in an all-new update.
Among the changes in the forthcoming update are tweaks to the rewards gained and the switch to Clash. According to developer Bungie's blog, this is the first time the Iron Banner has used Clash.
Senior Designer Derek Carroll took to the blog to explain what players can anticipate as part of the switch.
"I’d expect to see a bit less Super ability usage, and a lot more shooting across the board, but good teams will work together and hold territory even without the scoring incentives that Control provided," he said.
The same post outlined the following changes to the Iron Banner's rewards:
Neal Adams Homages Himself in 25 Comic Covers
Comic book legend Neal Adams will be the theme for DC's February variant covers. The twist? They'll all be drawn by Neal Adams.
came up with the idea that I was going to do a whole bunch of covers, right?" Adams recalled to us. "And they were all going to appear at the same time, and they're all going to be homages to this apparently legendary comic book artist. So I said, 'Who is the comic book artist?' They said, 'Uh... Neal Adams.'
'You guys have to be kidding? Really?' 'No, no! You'll do homages to your covers!' 'No, that's crazy!' 'No, it would be great! It'll be cool! Except each cover would have different characters for different books.' 'Really? Like, so Robin isn't dead, and Batman isn't over him? It's somebody else?' 'Yeah.' 'Oh!' These people are crazy. But it sounds like a great idea. So apparently we're doing that, and we're getting a different inker to ink each cover, which is crazy too. I don't know exactly how they're going to place them or how they're going to do them, but I will tell you this: I have penciled every single one of them, and they're in the hands of DC Comics. That's right. If this isn't the craziest, weirdest, most wonderful idea I've ever heard, I can't imagine what it is."
Adams’ Superman Will Be Handsome, Won’t Break Necks
Next February, comic book legend Neal Adams will be returning to the iconic character he hasn't written since 1978's Superman vs. Muhammad Ali in a new six-issue mini-series titled Superman: Coming of the Supermen. We got to read the first issue and conduct a phone interview with Adams to learn the details on what the story will be about, how he is approaching Superman after the character has been changed so much, and what it's like to return to Superman after so many years.
Adams will also be drawing 25 variant covers that will be released throughout February, with each one featuring an iconic cover of his redone with new characters.
Grimm Cast on What Hitting Episode 100 Means to Them
Grimm hit a huge milestone on Tuesday, November 10th when it filmed its 100th episode, a major coup for any TV show. The NBC series celebrated hitting episode 100, which will air in 2016, with an evening cake-cutting ceremony attended by NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt, Oregon Governor Kate Brown and many other dignitaries, crew members and reporters in attendance.
"The show is distinctive and unique because it's shot in this city. It doesn't look like any other show on television, and that's what makes it special, and we couldn't be happier to be here," Greenblatt told the audience assembled in Grimm's Portland Police Department set.
