The Protomen

I haven't been this excited about a band I've been introduced to in a while. This is for any gamer that really liked the Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) series.

The Protomen is an awesome indie rock band that I want to introduce every gamer to. The songs are about the original six Mega Man games and yes you can expect the same level of energy coming from this band as you would if you were fighting one of the bosses in the game.


Here is one of their live shows.



This band stays true to the game and yes you can totally jam out to this while playing the game. So you may be thinking, "This is cool and all, but I don't like live bands". You can check out their associated acts The Makeup and Vanity Set.


Awesome Protomen songs converted into 8bit. So check them our for at least 10 seconds, after all you are already online it couldn't hurt to click the previews wouldn't it?

Not the zombie apocalypse

Well no not really; I'm just talking about how I got back into playing the Fallout series. You know most people talk about a zombie apocalypse and most people talk about Resident Evil or Left 4 Dead. I think Society would end up like in Fallout.

On a completely different note; I just cant think of any other game that allows me to have the amount of freedom you get in Fallout. You can kill just about anyone, you can steal from just about everyone, you can become a squatter, you can own a home, you can become addicted to drugs and suffer withdrawal symptoms, get radiation poisoning, eat just about anything you kill, make weapons from junk make your own drugs and medicine, ect... All this will completely affect you later in the game too.

You can do so much I suppose that it would be shorter to type out what you can't do. As far as I know you can't get married, you can't grow your own food (which would have been really be useful because it's a survival type game), you can't own stock or make your character dress in drag, you can't get arrested and you can't get sick. However you can die of starvation and sleep deprivation in Fallout New Vegas.

The game features futuristic technology, while making it look like a model 1950's city after being hit by an atomic bomb. To really entice the player though the game has artists such as Frank Sinatra, Roy Brown from the mid 1950's perfectly suiting the game.



Next time you want to live out your post apocalyptic fantasy play any of the Fallout games.
