Lots of people play Candy Crush. Why? I dunno. I mean, I play, but I couldn’t tell you why. Compelling storyline? Nope. Interesting characters? Nope. People like spending a ton of money on a glorified version of Bejeweled? Apparently.
But say, the company that makes the game was recently acquired by Activision, which is trying to make movies off their products. Someone after the cut speculated what a Candy Crush movie would look like.
On this week’s podcast we were without the melodic tones of one William DB Watson as he served his one podcast suspension for last weeks tirade that will be henceforth known as “The Incident”. However, the remaining geeks fell into the age old trap of talking about Watson continuously throughout.

Ok, it’s not Fallout 4, and you’re going to need an iOS device (Android “coming soon”) but Bethesda has released a mobile game called Fallout Shelter. It looks like a radioactive version of Sim City and similar games. You are the Overseer and you create your own vault.

You can also play without an internet connection. If you’re not already running off to download, view the E3 gameplay video announcement (and maybe some bonus features about the Fallout 4 release if you are really good) after the break.

When the comic book scholars of the future look back on Spider-Verse they may view the crossover as a disappointment. I can see that. There really isn’t much meat on the bone here. Most issues are generally the same:
Pretty standard and repetitive stuff. But to take this view, is to miss the whole fun of Spider-Verse. The interaction of all these Spiders new and old amongst themselves and the Inheritors. Checking in on old favorites. Seeing the fate of Spider-Men you grew up watching on TV. I’m sure we’ll have Spider-Man multiverse crossovers again in the future (*cough*Secret Wars*cough*) but likely never to this degree again.

Many of us remember when mobile gaming consisted of bringing your own watergun to the park.
