Vanity Fair has released some first-look photos for the Amazon-produced live action Fallout series due out in April of next year, and with The Game Awards next week, we just might get a trailer soon.

Fallout stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) as Lucy, a vault dweller venturing out into the nuclear devastated world of ghouls, robots, and Roman empire cosplayers. It also stars Walton Goggins (Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers) as The Ghoul, a hundred-year-old irradiated walking corpse who, according to Fallout’s prosthetics designer Vincent Van Dyke, needed to be both gruesome and hot.

Judging from the pictures...mission accomplished.

Snakes in a game.

Your Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer matchesss are about to get interesssting. A new movement exploit makesss it so playersss slither about the map like snakesss. The player model will go prone but ssssomehow move at what sssseems like regular running ssspeed. The resssult is a prone opponent, difficult to sssshoot but hilarioussss to look at. Though only triggered with a moussse and keyboard, the movement glitch also workssss with controllersss.

Pleasssse, Activision, don’t patch thissss out yet. Leave it over the holiday weekend for maximum shenaniganssss.

Please insert Disc 2.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is only a few months away, launching on PS5 on February 29th. In preparation, Square Enix has published a video recapping the events of Remake as well as a short guide on the who, what, and where of Rebirth.

I’d give the guide a pass if you want to remain totally unspoiled for when Rebirth drops. But the Remake recap video (I need to know why Square Enix has such an obsession with the letter “R”,) is a really good primer on the first game if you never played or, like me, simply forgot everything that happened.
