Play God In Fallout 3
Just woke up from my turkey induced coma. In more important news, Bethesda, creators of Fallout 3 will be releasing a bit of downloadable content and to top it off a creation kit. What does that mean for you? Let me break it down.
The editor will be called The Garden of Eden Creation Kit, for short, G.E.C.K. I do dig the poetic irony of calling it the “Garden of Eden” creation kit, seeing as you spend the game in a completely destroyed world. The kit will allow those who have Fallout 3 for Windows, to create their own content to add to the game. What exactly does that mean? G.E.C.K. will allow you to basically do whatever the hell you want with the game. Create, modify, and edit any of the games data, you can make characters, weapons, landscapes, buildings, anything! You’ll be able to download the creation kit sometime this month. Now for the downloadable goodies. Three downloadable content packs are going to be coming to Xbox 360 and Windows starting in January that will add new quests, items, and content to Fallout 3. Looks like there will be a new content pack each month from January to March.
• Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.
• The Pitt. Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.
• Broken Steel. Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
