I'll be honest, I saw the trailer and I don't know what to think. I hope it will be good - Fallout: Nuka Break on YouTube has shown me that you can have decent production values and a fun storyline - but I'm bracing for the idea that it will be meh.

I will watch the start and see how it pans out.

Binged it in one sitting in my basement while listening to air raid sirens outside (just another morning in Ukraine) for some 7D immersion. Solid 8.5/10. Absolutely loved the attention to details and respect to the universe overall. Amazon did not screw this one, and the soundtrack was just amazing.

Will someone who has not played the games would enjoy the show?

I think so yes.  My wife watched the first 5 episodes with me last night and she enjoyed it a lot, despite barely touching any of the games in the past.

I find the show to be hit and miss and unfortunately, the fighting scenes are full of cliche Hollywood tropes that are painful to watch.

The fighting scenes are the least important parts of the story. What did you expect from them?

Not to mention the way it's done so far is a direct call to the VATS system, with the whole slow mo and kill cam look.  It fits with fallout.

Binge watched it this weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it! SFX were brilliant... and the soundtrack just right!

Sound track is pretty much all the music from the games plus a few extra ones.  Very good.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
