Fallout 3 Is Getting Steamy
Midnight launches are all well and good, but if you don't like to deal with crowds of like-minded individuals and prefer watching a game magically appear on your computer through the power of the interweb then you'll be happy to know that Fallout 3 is available for pre-purchase right now on Steam. While the game won't be unlocked until the 28th of the month you'll be ahead of the pack. Laugh and those poor dudes having to drive home while you're exploring the post-apocalyptic world Bethesda has created. For those of us looking to pick the game up on PS3 or Xbox 360, we'll just have to stand in line. I'm going to dress up as a Pip-Boy!

I think we'll need a photo of this....
Oh yes! If Doctor is going as a pip-boy, a picture MUST be taken!
And about that steam buisness... Does that mean that steam is required or can we just purchased it in a retail store and play it without the client?
Cause me and Steam are on a bad vibe...
At one point, I ran into this guy. He looks up at you with these big puppy-dog eyes and says, "I can't possibly have anything that you want." *sigh If I wrote game software... ;-)
