In Oblivion i named myself Butch as well. I just thought it would be funny to have a name given to ugly dogs. Yes, i laughed when i say my horse was called ‘Butch’s Horse’. But Fallout 3 was special. At the birthday bit, i just overheard someone talking about Butch, and i was like cool, it even puts your name into the story. But then i heard that annoying kid saying this sux, i my party was better, ur mum etc, so i went over and then i saw Butch.
OMG WTF ROFLMAO BUTCH. It was very funny seeing someone with a stupid name who was actually one of the npc’s.And when it skips to the bit when you’re like 16 and there’s the gang, and there all like ‘Butch is the leader around here, not the Overseer’ I’m like ‘Damn right!’ as i pepper them with BB’s.
So when i got to that bit when he’s begging you and saying sorry for all the bullying etc etc i do the only right thing.
Murder him and steal his mum.

I guess the problem is that, when your audience is a bunch of gamers, you have to skew your morality system a bit to accommodate all the baby-eating rapists people like Tom and Chris come up.

I do think my next character will be a little more colorful and thematic — maybe a laser-toting mad scientist or some such.

I try to be evil, THEY WONT FUCKING LET ME!
Oh, town full of annoying little kids, you wont let me get my fat man out? DAMN YOU.

The only thing I’m missing in the tutorial is that you can’t go third-person as a baby. A little kid, sure, but not as a toddler. That’s a bit of a bummer. I wanted to see myself leaping around on the tables and chairs.

Word to the wise though, try and control your rage when explodenating Megaton, one of the two evil followers is there. Ludo made that mistake.

Holy crud, Butch can survive? I killed him when I rescued EXPURGATED from the Overseer. There’s at least two other hair stylists in the game, though, so it’s no big loss.

(Hadn’t noticed that Chris was doing his own Fallout 3 thing. Must read backlog.)

You should’ve let him be. He would’ve suffered a fate worse than death if you’d let him survive. Or at least let him take the GOAT exam in peace.

He would’ve become the Vault’s Greatest Hair Stylist.

He would also have been able to style your hair, if you wanted him as a companion/lackey/pack mule later.

I guess Happy [post-apocalytpic] Days was out of the question as a blogpost title? What with beating up a Fonz lookalike. Also where did it all go wrong for young Sophie Francis? She was such a caring toddler, clearing her toys away, the next thing she’s drinking vodka next to a dead corpse. Sounds like my own childhood.

Nice post, I giggled all the way through it and was nice to find at 3am such an amusing update.

You’re almost as bad as Chris. At least you haven’t started with the cannibalism yet.
