Fallout 4 is a great game and I have spent a lot of hours exploring the Commonwealth and discovering all the cool side quests it has to offer. Now that I’ve well acquainted myself with the quests and events that occur in Fallout 4, I thought I would put together a list of my top five favorite Fallout 4 quests so far. Because it’s October, the season to be spooky, I thought I would include my favorite scary or "Halloween" related quests for you to enjoy. So grab some candy corn and a pumpkin latte and let’s talk about my top five favorite Fallout 4 quests, Halloween Edition! -FIVE--The Silver Shroud-This quest is a great one and I couldn’t make a top 5 list without mentioning it. But the main reason it made it onto my Halloween list is the costume potential. I won’t give away too much, but in this quest you get to dress up and play a little, which is great fun and takes away some of the drudgery of the wasteland. So suit up and search for that Silver Shroud Radio station, because this is one quest you really need to explore for yourself. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Silver_Shroud -FOUR--The Glowing Sea-When I first played this game and was forced to venture into the glowing sea, I was legitimately scared to do so. This area of the map is a perfect example of the real horror of nuclear annihilation and every time I go inside it gets me nervous. If you’re looking for a genuine scare, start here. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Glowing_Sea -THREE--The Secret of Cabot House-If you haven’t done this quest yet, I don’t want to spoil anything for you. But take it from me, this quest is one of the most fun and creepy quests you can do in Fallout 4. Think of it this way, it begins at an old abandoned insane asylum. Need I say more? From there the events just keep getting stranger and it’s something you’re going to need to see to believe. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Secret_of_Cabot_House -TWO--Pickman's Gift-Okay, there aren’t many quests or locations in Fallout 4 that are creepier or more horrific than this one. You begin at Pickman’s Gallery, which sounds like a perfectly wholesome and safe thing to do. But things slowly go from bad to worse as you realize you’re in a murder house. From there your lick just keeps doing downhill. If you’re not interested in being scared, leave this quest alone. But if you want some of that classic, disturbing, Fallout-style action, head on in and get a front row seat to the blood bath. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Pickman%27s_Gift -ONE--The Devil's Due-Very few video games have gotten me actually fearing for my own life. Fallout 4 isn’t always that scary, but one thing that certainly did terrify me was the mission that takes place at the Museum of Witchcraft. Even before you arrive at this quest, the location just screams spooky Halloween story. Once you’re inside, you’re immediately made aware of the fact that this is no ordinary ghost story or witch’s tale. So, if you haven’t headed over to Salem and gone into the Museum of Witchcraft, I ask what you’re waiting for! That is, unless you want to live. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Devil%27s_Due So this is my top five list of favorite scary and Halloween related Fallout 4 quests. If I missed any of your favorite scary quests, pop them down below so I can go find them and explore the horror for myself. And don’t forget to share this article on with a friend, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for hanging out and have a spooky October! Read on, Tru

Hey, Blog Lovers! August was a crazy month, and not everything that happened was good – in fact most of it wasn’t so great – but the things that were great still really stood out to me last month. The reason for that is probably my tendency to forget about things I love and rediscover them later. Last month I rediscovered my love for a number of different faves, and even got acquainted with a few brand new things as well. Let’s jump into the list. -GAMES--Oblivion-Last month I fell back in love with an old Bethesda fave; of course I am talking about Oblivion. This game has been a part of my life for many years, and it helped to foster a deep love of Bethesda’s open world games. I’m so happy to be back to playing Oblivion; when you’re exploring quests new and old, it’s like getting together with an old friend. You know what they’re about and you can’t wait to feel the old feels you felt when you guys first started hanging out. That’s how I felt playing Oblivion this month, and it has been a blast exploring Cyrodiil again. -Soul Calibur 4-Since August was a month for catching up with old friends, Soul Calibur 4 could not be left out of the reunion. It’s been much too long since I sat down and had a good old fashioned friendly duel over this classic title, and I forgot how much I loved it. From the beloved characters to that nostalgic feeling of instinctively knowing how to play the game, SC4 was one of my favorite games last month. -Authors--John Joseph Adams- There aren’t a lot of people who can put together a horror anthology quite like John Joseph Adams. I’ve read a few of the books he’s edited before, and take it from me, he knows a good short story when he reads one. His anthologies are filled with a wide variety of authors and writing styles, with something to please everyone. My favorites are The Living Dead Anthology and the Wastelands Anthology, both of which I recommend to anyone who enjoys many different styles of writing, and wants to experience a range of horror stories to suit their mood. -The Vampire Chronicles by: Anne Rice- The first time I read a novel by Anne Rice, the books were a little bit difficult for me to get into. After giving myself some time with the books, even though I found them difficult to get through, they eventually became easier to read. Before reading these books, around the age of 16, I wasn’t very interested in literary titles and I didn’t find them exciting. It was hard for me to wade through the big chunks of text that Anne Rice lays down on the page, and reading it was a little exhausting. As time went on, I started to grow more interested in the psychological and artistic aspect of literary fiction. It became clear to me that there were many different layers and details in her work for specific reasons, and I began to appreciate that deeper reasoning in a more defined way. This eventually began to influence my own writing and my appreciation of the craft as well; it helped me to grow into a writer with some insight into characterization and the importance of setting the scene. I attribute a lot of what I love about literary fiction to my reading of Anne Rice novels, and I’m grateful to have found a way to use that reading experience to feed my own crafting skill. -Movies & Television--Pulp Fiction-It’s very difficult for me to pick a favorite movie because I love movies a stupid amount. But when it comes to making a list, Pulp Fiction always finds its way to the top. If someone forced me to make a choice, this is the movie I would choose. Why? It has everything a good movie needs; a star studded cast, amazing writing, directing and cinematography, and a cameo by the director himself. Quentin Tarantino will always be one of my favorite directors, because he possesses a brilliant and dark mind where treasures are certainly buried. I don’t think anyone else could have produced such a cinematic wild ride the way that Tarantino did with Pulp Fiction. I will always give this movie a 10/10 and anyone who hasn’t seen this film needs to go out and change that immediately. -Stranger Things-Everyone loves Stranger Things right now, and it is extremely easy to see why. Not only is Stranger Things legitimately frightening – which is difficult to do in this society where everyone is exposed to so much horror media – it is well written and well-cast too. As someone who is a fan of 80’s media and references, I was totally into the whole vibe. Aside from the awesome 80’s horror vibe that immediately pulled me into this experience head first, this series had a million other things going for it. It is well produced, well directed, well written, and the casting for the group of children that star in this film is like the work of a miracle. They all act flawlessly in this production, and their grasp of the mature content, and the skills needed to act that content out, was excellent to watch. It’s impossible not to become an instant fan of each one of these kids, because they’re going to be huge stars if their performances in Stranger Things are any indication. If you’ve been holding off on this series because you’re afraid to give in to all the hype, toss that hipster, outsider vibe out the window for just one hour and take a look at the first episode. If you’re not immediately hooked, I’ll eat my words, because I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this show. August Playlist
So this has been a list of the different media I was loving in the month of August. What kind of nerdy stuff did you love last month? Let me know in the comments below. I hope you had an awesome month and that your September will be even better. Follow me on social media for notifications when I post new blogs, videos and updates.
As always, read on, Readers. Bye for now! The month of July was so crazy for me; with so much change and so many new ideas and developments, I felt completely exhausted mentally and physically. That’s why it was so important to find time to enjoy myself and do things that I love; reading, playing video games, writing, creating art; these were the things that kept me afloat this month. So now it’s time to share the nerdy things that kept me going strong all July 2016 in this month’s faves post. GAMESPokemon GoFirst up for the games I was playing this month, it’s everyone’s new favorite topic and activity, Pokemon Go! Pokemon Go has attracted old Pokefans, new Pokefans, and even fans that have no idea what Pokemon is. It’s made an impact and sent a ripple into our world the likes of which hasn’t been seen from a video game in this generation. It’s brought people together, ripped them apart, caused political scandal, and even blipped the radar for hacking rings. But all of that drama aside, Pokemon Go has impacted individual lives with its ability to get people moving, get them active in their community, and even encourage people to make new friendships and strengthen old ones. It’s even got autistic or socially anxious people outside and doing things they would never normally be able to do. Any game that can help people in that capacity automatically makes a favorites list in my books. These are the real reasons Pokemon Go is important; not because it’s Pokemon theme, and not because it’s a new way to game, but because it changes lives and makes a positive impact on otherwise potentially unreachable demographics. Pokemon Go isn’t that well-developed yet, seeing as it’s still incomplete, but I see its potential, and I’ve been really enjoying everything that it has to offer so far. It’s enjoyable to go out and – after waiting my whole life for this moment – feel like a real Pokemon trainer. It’s helped encourage me to get outside, it’s given me something to do with my time that is healthier than playing video games indoors, and it’s allowed me to speak to strangers, when normally that would make me extremely uncomfortable. So even though it’s caused accidents, scandal, and outrage in some places, it’s done nothing but improve my life, and so it was a favorite for me this month. Check out Pokemon Go on the Google Play app store - only for Android and iOS. Pokemon XI’ve loved Pokemon X forever, I loved it when it first came out, and I love it now. It was a whole new generation and era for Pokemon games when it dropped, and I haven’t anything bad to say about it. I love that you can catch so many different kinds of Pokemon, from new ones to the first 151. I enjoyed the story line, and most of all I enjoyed the online play. All this while also appreciating that the main story can be completed very quickly, so I could get fully into breeding and battling online as soon as possible. The interactions with your Pokemon in Pokemon-amie made me so happy, the EV battles were great fun, and I really love the idea of becoming closer with my Pokemon and feeling as though you’re building a real relationship with them. So this month, when I picked this game back up, it sucked me in for days on end. I fell back in love with this game in the month of July, and I am so geared up for the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon later this year. Check this title out at your local game store, or on Amazon by clicking here. NitromeI’ve been playing Nitrome games for so long that it feels like forever, but this month I rediscovered it and it has become a favorite of mine once again. Not only is it a wonderful way to pass a bit of time on your own, it’s a great site to play some multiplayer browser games with a friend. Some of my favorite titles are definitely the Bad Ice Cream series, Mutiny, and the Test Subject series, among many others. I definitely recommend you check it out if you’re looking for some cool games with a 32-bit look and a retro feel. Any classic gamer would be happy to play through these games both alone and with a friend, I am sure of it. Play some awesome games yourself by searching Nitrome on google or clicking here. COMICSX-Men: First Class - ComicsI really loved this series this month; I read the first two anthology volumes and enjoyed each one so incredibly much that I already want to re-read them both. The humor and the light heartedness of it was a nice shift away from the darker comic content that I normally read. Regarding the art style, I immediately noticed how bright, vivid and eye-catching it was, and I loved that. The stories ranged from your average X-Men, bad-guy hunting scenario to some more personal stories that went more in-depth with the characters and their personalities. All-in-all I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the X-Men, and even those who aren’t, because the comedic writing and awesome visuals were an excellent experience for me. 10/10. Head on down to your friendly neighborhood comic book store, or click here to get your hands on these stories yourself. Comicsexplained - YouTube ChannelA comic book YouTube channel I loved in the month of July was Comicsexplained, a great channel that dispenses content that is true to the channel name. It’s a channel where the creator explains comic characters, story lines and concepts so that we, as readers, can have a deeper understanding of the Marvel and DC universes and their complex and sometimes convoluted plots and arcs. The man who does these videos has a great voice which is easy to listen to, and he’s extremely knowledgeable and easy to trust as a source for comic book information. Not only is it helpful, it’s really fun to watch as well, and it has given me days on days of entertainment this month. This channel is definitely going to be a go-to for both passing free-time and finding answers to some of my burning comic book questions. Check out his channel on YouTube, or click here to go straight there. EDITING/RECORDINGOBS - (Open Broadcaster Software)Open Broadcasting System has been a favorite of mine for more than just one reason this month. It’s a free program that allows you to stream and record game-play, internet windows, and activities on your monitor. It has allowed me, as someone without the income to purchase a paid broadcasting program, to start my YouTube channel for free, and easily upload the content that I want to share with the world. It has been incredibly empowering to start my channel this month, and a large part of that was the idea that I could start right away, for free, without any barrier between myself and the goal of uploading. As long as you have a functioning computer, you can create content that you love for the world as well with this awesome program. Download OBS free by clicking here. Blue Snowball MicrophoneRecording software and hardware can actually be pretty pricey in today’s market. With all the bells and whistles you can imagine available to those of us with recording needs, it can be difficult to make a choice as to what mic will be right for your project. Thankfully, I was able to get advice from friends and the people at my local electronics shop, and they steered me toward this bad boy. The Snowball is an inexpensive beginner’s mic that allows me to record in a sound quality that is high enough to be functional for YouTube. Although I would definitely like to upgrade my recording mic and software at some point in the future, when you’re just starting out, it’s not about being perfect. Creating content is about the passion and the drive to do what you love, and I won’t let a low budget stand in the way of that. As inexpensive as this mic is, the audio quality is quite good, and I’m extremely happy with this product and its price point. Head down to Best Buy or another electronics store to get your hands on this one, or check out Amazon here to buy online. BOOKSThe Darkest Part of the Forest - Holly BlackI was in love with this book before I ever read it, but when I finally did read it, I knew my love was not misplaced. When I read Holly Black’s other book, The Coldest Girl in Cold Town, I read the excerpt for this book in the back. As soon as I finished that first chapter, I was hooked and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Even months later, when I finally got my hands on a copy, I was just as excited as I had been when I first got a taste of what this story had to offer. Not only was I not disappointed, this book exceeded my expectations. Holly Black does a lovely job of creating characters that people who are on the fringe of society can relate to and fall in love with. I can always see myself in Holly’s writing because she caters to people who are different and who dance to the beat of their own drum. This book had that and more, as it explores what the world would be like if we lived side by side with fantasy creatures and the stuff of fairy tales. She makes fantasy come to life for the modern age and never fails to take me on a ride I won’t soon forget. If you read only one book this summer, make it The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. Take a look at this title on Amazon by clicking here, or check out the synopsis by visiting the Goodreads page here. Well, that’s all I have for you guys today, thanks so much for reading this months’ Nerdy Faves here on the blog and taking some time to hang out with me.

Check me out on Goodreads here | Follow me on Insagram here | Keep up with me on Twitter here May is already over and it feels like time is moving so incredibly quickly. It's early June, and so I'm getting together the nerdy things I loved in May and sharing them with others, recommending a few nerd-tastic things to anyone who is interested. Let's get into my favorite nerdy games, shows and books of May 2016! GamesFallout 4: Far Harbor DLC - PC
Far Harbor brought so much new stuff to the table, I'm very impressed. I'm also relieved because it felt like I ran out of content in the base game way too quickly. Despite the lack of content, Fo4 has been my favorite game this year, and I am happy to have such amazing new content to explore in this world. The visuals, music, and atmosphere are my favorite parts of this content, but there are a multitude of awesome things about it that I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't gotten to play. Just know that if you're wondering whether Far Habor is worth the 34.99 it costs on Steam, my answer is yes. Pokemon Shuffle - Android
You start by battling Pokemon using the puzzle pieces, before you’re given the chance to catch the Pokemon and use them to battle and catch Pokemon in the following levels. You’re rewarded with level ups, new Pokemon, expert levels, special levels, and the ability to Mega Evolve. I highly recommend this game as a fun time waster and enjoyable way to get your Pokemon fix on the go. Be advised, it does require internet connection to play. Sailor Moon Drops - Android
That is not even mentioning the beautiful power ups that are included, the free wallpapers you can collect for your phone, and the satisfying sound effects that make the completion of a level feel like an adorable chibi-celebration. I can see myself playing this game until I utterly can’t stand it anymore, then playing it a little more just for the novelty of Sailor Moon official content. Thank you, Bandai, for your contribution to my nerdy satisfaction. Movies/TVDeadpool
Star Wars: Clone Wars
The animation and visuals are well done, and the humor is exactly my sense of humor. Everything in the show is canon, because it’s made with George Lucas, and it’s got a really similar vibe to the movies without trying to be an extended Star Wars movie. It’s family friendly, which I think is also a plus, but it’s got a darkness and a depth that I think really makes it enjoyable for anyone. The abundance of strong female characters is a definite positive factor when it comes to my enjoyment of media, so I really appreciate the positive female role models they’ve inserted in Clone Wars. And some of my favorite characters are so well performed and generated in this iteration of the Star Wars universe that I'm falling in love with them all over again. If you're a Star Wars fan who is not sure whether they should give Clone Wars a try, I think this is a show that can't be missed. And if you're new to Star Wars, I think you'll be able to enjoy this series as well. 5 stars, two thumbs up, new favorite. BooksDaughter of Smoke and Bone - Laini Taylor
Zombies: Encounters With the Hungry Dead - John Skipp
So those are my nerdy favorites for the month of May! I'm definitely going to be loving these things for a long time. I've found some really top shelf favorites to add to my repertoire this month, and I am really excited to see what I'll be loving by the end of June.
Leave a comment down below, it would really help me out! Let me know what kinds of nerdy or even non-nerdy things you've been loving in May, I'd be excited to know about them. Until then, read on! Tru~ |
