Fallout: Nuka Break fan film
It may technically be Wednesday where I’m sitting, but I live in the future so I’m calling it Tight Arse Tuesday. Today’s feature is even thriftier than discount cinema tickets as the wonders of the Internet hand it over entirely free of charge and with nary a family-friendly Ashton Kutcher in sight.
What Fallout: Nuka Break delivers instead is ghouls, shooting, radiated recovery items, informative Pip Boy segments, astounding production values and laughs. See the whole fan-made film through the break.
