"Amidst the slew of playable demos, special guest panels and game tournaments at PAX hides a smaller group of company advertisers trying to endorse their products by connecting them to gaming. Whether it be eye drops or energy drinks, every company there insists that they have what you need to keep you playing at your best. For the most part this is all marketing bullshit. You don’t need an energy drink that tastes like horse sweat to play League of Legends nor is it detrimental to your performance to game without a light up controller. But the folks over at Gunnar Optiks have taken a different approach. Not only does their product work and prove itself beneficial to your well-being, but they don’t embellish their presence in the gaming world. They appeal to those who actually need to stare at screens all day be you a gamer, graphic artist, security guard or the like." - Alex Cabral of Geekenstein.com

The merchandising on this franchise has gotten out of control. I dug the early stuff (still got my Fallout4 CE Pip-boy computer on my shelf) but at this point it feels like they care more about merchandising than actually making you know... more Fallout games.
They gotta hype the show up as much as possible, last trailer looked good but all these adaptations so far have been hugely disappointing. Well excluding Last of Us and One Piece, those were pretty darn fantastic.
The issue is Bethesda are being dick heads and refuse to give anyone Fallout because THEY want to make them but by the time they get Elder Scrolls VI out the door and then start making Fallout 5 you're looking at 2030 at the earliest.
Microsoft shouldn't have green lit The Outer Worlds 2 but had Obsidian do a spiritual successor to New Vegas or make remakes of the first two Fallout games in the style of Bethesdas Fallout games.
Merch wise I'm super surprised they've never made a fully functional Pipboy with the screen built into the entire thing rather than us using our mobile phones.
Pointless cheep brand merch. Bethesda paves the way. Dude, the special gamer glasses grift was done and buried, yet here’s Bethesda with more high quality (happy meal-level) products for the waste bin.
To any of my folks in the US folks, speaking of sunglasses, make sure you get some ISO glasses for April 8th!!!!
Anyone here gonna be in totality? I'm in 80%... I might plan a trip though, its only an hours drive to totality.
I’m in New York and ready for April 8, have my glasses multiple pairs. My camera tripod and 150-600mm lens are at the ready.
