Thanks to international Fallout Day, now's the time to V.A.T.S. target some serious savings of up to 75%. Failing that, I have an update on my Batman: Arkham Shadow situation from yesterday—got it, clocked it, and loved it. I probably wouldn't buy a Meta Quest 3 specifically for it, though it'd totally be in my first three game purchases. More pricings, and my full list is here.

In retro news, I'm getting my Charizard to light a 26-candle birthday cake for Pokémon Red and Blue. These came out right when I started a job in gaming retail. Vividly, I recall picking up a loose cartridge and uttering the fateful words, "Oh, this is that game all of Japan seems to be hooked on...but why?" The next week is an 8-bit blur of me almost getting fired for not serving customers because I had my eyes locked on a Game Boy or my nose buried in the Official Guide. This morning, I was beyond stoked to find that my Blue battery still functions. So here, let me show you my Pokemans...
