Well, here it is, Monday morning after a three-day weekend. Guess what I did all three days? Yep, play. Obsessively. I only stopped to eat, pee, and sleep ... and clean my bathroom. (That last is an anomaly for sure. But it had to be done, precisely because of said anomaly-ness.)

I thought I had lost my car whilst jogging around the map, because I remembered it running out of fuel outside Broken Hills and leaving a spiff icon on the map where it was, but then here it was, like a year later, and, poof! No icon. I reloaded an early save and found I had parked it outside Vault 15 when I knew it was about to run out of gas, and I reloaded my latest save, et voila! There it was. So I felt like a prize idiot. I even lost sleep over that one!

After Navarro, I pretty much started leaving my henchies behind since they are largely more hindrance than help. It is easier doing all of the killing myself than keeping the stupid, useless henchmen alive. I do like the little robotic dog, though. I have been taking Sulik and Cassidy out with me, gave them each a lesser power armor, and use them as pack mules for all of my booty.

My favorite part so far is the little nod to Monty Python and the Holy Grail outside Modoc. Melchior and his "pets" also tickled me, even though they were hard to kill. Melchior hisownbadself got a rocket shot up his butt. What a way to go, huh?

So now I have everything I need to float the boat, but I am not ready to say goodbye to the game just yet. I am now going around and finishing off little sidequests, and I think I may also go back and lay waste to all four New Reno families since I hate alla those bastards!

I went back to Vault 13 and saw what happened there, and it made me sad. I would wreak vengence but I don't know where to go to do it. That one dude in there who would have accompanied me if I had ditched stupid Vic earlier will not accompany me now because his people need him, plus he won't tell me anything. The guys in the security video looked like Enclave, and they're already finished, courtesy of moi, but I never saw that big guy. Mebbe I'll just drive around the map until there are no more black squares and see what there is to see.
