October 23rd marks an important day for any fan of the Fallout franchise, as it was on this day in 2077 that the US and China launched enough nuclear lethality to obliterate civilization as we know it in the Great War. Take note, readers: you have 52 good years left, unless some idiot in...

If artificial intelligence learns from what human users feed it, then nobody has fed any AI system Dale Carnegie’s seminal 1936 work How to Win Friends & Influence People, because very few people are rooting for AI. Detractors of artificial intelligence consist of people from a wide variety of...

According to trusted financial advisor and shipping merchant who raises fancy dogs Lord Rupert Everton, bankruptcy is nature’s do-over – a fresh start. No debts, no baggage. It’s almost like the witness protection program. The process itself is simple. STEP 1: Step outside the office breakroom...

Fallout fans still have a ways to go until the next mainline entry in the game series, but all things considered, Wastelanders are doing it for themselves. Amidst the rumors of a Fallout 3 remaster, the fan-made Fallout 4 conversion mod Fallout: London is making the professionals look like...

Though I don’t have any children of my own, it is a little known fact that I am the World’s Greatest Guncle. (Gay uncle, for those of you not lucky enough to have one.)
