Okay, so if anyone else had Fallout 4 getting a new story DLC featuring original Nora and Nate actors Courtenay Taylor and Brian T. Delaney reprising their roles created by modding legends Kinggath Creations (I loved At Hell’s Gate, btw) and available on practically every platform the game is on… well, that makes one of us. Sure, this week (tomorrow!) will be Fallout day and we did see a teaser for this last year, but I still didn’t see a fully voiced with all new dialogue DLC with the original Nora and Nate actors just dropping like this.

Playlist I have made. Song 2 I have chosen as start. Song 2 is best to start.

Is early, no caffeine, am not actually Yoda. Am very smol birb.

I played Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a lot. A lot. It’s one of my favorite games and I’ve argued many times that it’s a significantly better game than Skyrim and deserved better, and also that Rhode Island shouldn’t be allowed to invest in computer game studios.

So when THQ Nordic bought KoA and re-released it along with a brand new DLC, I was temporarily excited. But in the end, what ended up happening was that I got many hours of excellent play out of the original game and its two DLC’s, and then I played Fatesworn and it didn’t feel good. It felt like a fanfic of the original game, not an actual DLC, and the idea that the Fateless One’s ultimate reward was…

I’ll just move on to the first question.

S, T, U and V sold separately.

I’m not going to explain the Godzilla header.

I last used that header image in 2015. I think it was due a comeback.

That is a ridiculously cute stab at Borophagus diversidens by paleoartist Charles R. Knight. However, based on the animal’s actual skull, it likely had a much shorter muzzle and bigger lower jaw for more bone crushing power. Still, I love the detail in Knight’s sketch and he was in line with what other artists were doing when he sketched it.

Trust me, we’ll come back to this.

I don’t know why but I am amused by the established fact that Allosaurus specimens have a marked tendency to display paleopathologies that indicate that even among Theropods, they were willing to take risks. We find broken ribs, punctured tail vertebra, and a variety of wounds from Stegosaurus thagomizers. Including a thagomizer blow to the public bone of a particularly… let’s just say reckless… Allosaurus.

I like to imagine Allosaurus as a genus of Johnny Knoxvilles. Daring each other to attack a Brontosaurus or a Stegosaurus and getting their faces smashed so hard they spend the rest of their lives with crooked jaws, bone spurs, stubbed tails and yes, spike punctures to their pubic bones. The Tazmanian Devils of the Jurassic.

Thank you for the idea, Jalamenos.

Behold, Dimetrodon! Not a direct ancestor of us mammals, they are still a beloved relative of us all and more closely related to you (yes, even you, Kalcheus) than they are to the Dinosaurs people often mistake them for.

The genus Dimetrodon has a variety of species, from the extremely small Dimetrodon teutonis which was 60 centimeters and 14 kilograms, to the nearly 5 meter long Dimetrodon angelensis.

And I know nobody asked but I don’t care, I love Dimetrodon like a drunk uncle that approves of us mammals in a distant, confused way.

Why?

• They make it easier to organize my thoughts
• Often I sit down and use a bulleted list to group together related ideas
  • For example, using a subsidiary bullet to list an idea complimentary to a previous full bullet point
  • Like you could have a bullet saying Theropods and then several sub-bullets like Extinct Theropods with all the various groups like:
    • Carcharadontosaurs
    • Ceratosaurs
    • Megalosaurs
    • Coelurosaurs
      • Extinct Coelurosaurs
      • Extant Coelurosaurs aka birds

Now, let’s Queue this.
