Voltergeist: November "Fallout 3 Wasteland" Mix :M
Hey there Fallout Freaks!
Finally, and just in time (before November 2008 comes to a close), I've managed to source all of the tracks I wanted in order to make this wee tribute to the post-nuclear Wasteland of the terrifying and utterly engaging Fallout 3 videogame (Bethesda Softworks)...
This wee mix is the perfect accompaniment to your Fallout 3 gaming experience, and if you're not quite as much of a gaming geek as I am then it'll keep your ears and brain thoroughly entertained and freaked out just as much as if you were trapped inside an equally horrifically realized virtual post-nuclear world...
Of course, it's a little more than most Vault 101 dwellers might be used to... Incorporating a blend of my favourite (albeit rather dark and twisted) musical genres and tracks ranging from early acid music to pulsating techno, ear shredding industrial scrapings, wartime classics and throbbing dubstep...
"I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart..."

We could co-opt Fallout 3 and make up stories of how cool it is.
Say we were development consultants and they ripped us off by switching us from salaried to hourly wage workers.
Then they fired us.
Now we're bitter.

Ahh... So this is a hardcore Fallout site, dedicated to upholding the traditional playability, style and feel of the original games!advertising anything as Fallout3-related here is a dubious idea..
Well, the last console I had before I got hold of the XBox 360 was a NES! I fear that I have missed out on too much of a good thing by not having played the original Fallout games...
However, all the hype and talk surrounding Fallout 3 encouraged me to buy it and I'm having a thoroughly good time playing it. It has also led me to buy the original games from Black Isle (Interplay) so that I can "get right into it"!!!
I haven't started playing them yet, but they sound like they're going to be a pretty immersive eperience...
However, this wee mix was inspired by Fallout 3, so credit where credit's due to Bethesda!
No matter, it was Black Isle who originally wanted to use the Ink Spots track in the first place, so I suppose that credit for inspiration could equally go to the original game creators, without whom none of us would even be having this discussion...
Hope you enjoy it all the same...

Looking at the poll results is really entertaining...
I especially like the "Shut up. Just tell me where my father is." option...
To the (currently) one person who totally hates me for ruining his/her mind I can only apologise, and hope that a good dose of "RaveEX" will clean your poor ears out and return you to your unpolluted self...
Thank you for taking the time to view my wee post and download my mix. Let's keep this post going and invite others to upload their own mixes if they have the time.
That'll be a good little project, and should introduce a lot of exciting new music into people's lives!

Perhaps so... I think this is what's drawn reviewers to compare the game with the thoroughly excellent BioShock! There are more than a few similarities... I guess they've gone for the attitude that Bioshock was such a huge success, they might as well play on the overall design ideas that made it so.Retlaw83 wrote:It's good collection of songs, but I think Bethesda pushed the 50s angle WAY too hard.
However, the images, music and atmospheres of Bioshock were more than certainly based on the ideas created by Black Isle for the original Fallout games. I like the inclusion of 40's/50's songs. It adds to the feeling of "all-out-war"... And I know that it's one of the things Black Isle wanted to do originally. The only problem was that the licenses would have been far too expensive for Black Isle to afford at the time, so they obviously concentrated on the gameplay much more than the "gimmicks"...
Still, that doesn't affect my wee mix. It doesn't really matter about the debates we're discussing here. The mix isn't about gaming politics at all. It's much more about dancing until your feet fall off, or nodding your head until you develop whiplash...
Fallout 3 was a good starting point for me, and I'm so glad that I posted a link to my mix up here as it's really encouraged me to explore the original Fallout games. There are so many well-educated and passionate people on this site, and some of the comments and content I've seen in this particular forum are so entertaining that I'm starting to spend an unhealthy amount of time here!

What's wrong with Bioshock now?
Well, seeing as we are a professional development studio with the mainstream market licking up our design ideals, Christmas might be coming early this year (not too early).Voltergeist wrote:Some of you are really hard to please... I'd love to play one of your games if you create them. They must be absolutley astounding...
In the meantime, please participate in our fun-for-the-whole-family forum game: The aim is to be more venomous, bitter and spiteful than the poster above you. Ready - Steady - Go.

Killa? Sounds intriguing... So there are some really creative people on here after all! I was starting to think that it was just people who liked moaning about the games that I like...VasikkA wrote:I would've hooked you up with Killa, but it seems none of the download links are functioning.Voltergeist wrote:Some of you are really hard to please...

Well, let's be honest. I've only started playing games again recently... The last time I owned a console it was a NES (when games really WERE all about playability), and apart from owning an Amiga at the age of 12 (which I used to write crunchy and totally awful music using ProTracker & Octamed, oh and to play Syndicate!) I've been using computers solely to produce music... Thankfully quite a bit better than the days of ProTracker...
So I need to be educated, as I've missed out a huge chunk of my gaming life! And you know what... Playing videogames is actually extremely inspirational for creativity! I was always told that videogames would destroy my mind... Since it was destroyed many moons ago by other forces, I've decided to wholeheartedly throw myself into it all. I love it!
So thanks everybody for putting me in my place... I fear that my mind may implode with ecstasy when I finally get around to discovering some proper games... And perhaps I'll look back at my comments about Fallout 3 and Biosock and laugh until my stomach swallows my entire head...
Meanwhile, don't forget to get my wee mix around your trembling earbones... The link's in the first post of this thread...

PS Somebody else added the last option in the Poll... I don't know who, but it is a silly option. Unlike Camelot..... Actually, on second thoughts... let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
