The iconic game has been sold in dozens of millions of copies around the world
1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. In Fallout, the harshness of the wasteland is set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humour and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.

  'MIDWICH CUCKOOS'
TO BECOME SKY'S SF SERIES
It will be an eight episode mini series
Speaking of science fiction series, Deadline reports that Sky is teaming up with The Night Manager writer David Farr on the eight episode TV series adaptation of John Wyndham’s sci-fi novel THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS which already served as an inspiration for classic Village of the Damned movies. John Wyndham (most famous for his novel The Day Of The Triffids) wrote this one back in 1957 setting the story in the sleepy English village of Midwich, where a strange sequence of events culminates in the community’s women falling pregnant with alien children with glowing eyes and otherworldly powers.

    I'll pass on both. Never did like video games myself, but know plenty of people who do, so they may be excited about Fallout.
