Fun Photo Article

 While stumbling around the internet, I found a fun little photo 
article with some great pictures... Although sadly not a great deal of substance.
But anything really that has a picture or two of Mad Max
in it usually is enough for me.
Add in a sexy lady or two with combat boots,
 leather, and feathers --- and that does wonders!
for an articles enjoyability in my opinion!

See...
It already makes this blog entry more interesting!

Here is the Title Excerpt from the 'Article'

Post Apocalyptic Fashion: What You Need To Wear For The End Of The World

Your fashion sense doesn't have to suffer just because the world is ending. If we're going to go down in flames, we at least should go down in style. Here are tips to keep it fierce after the rapture.
See the link below for the full 'article'

 And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.
-Gerald Scarfe

Check it out... as I said, its got a few great pictures...
Mostly Iconic stuff, but some interesting artistic stuff
thrown in the mix...
And I think there was more reading involved in my re-post
than there actually was on the whole photo spread...

Go rest your eyes...

Mad Max: Fury Road -- Set Shots

 Looking through the NMA forums I found some awesome pics showing 
some behind the scenes look at the filming of the new Mad Max....
Take a look!



Some very promising pictures ... Looks like they are doing a great job
 capturing the imagery and setting of the Mad Max world... However I don't
 know if set design can make up for such an odd casting of Max...

Craft is Good for the Mentat Health


 Mentats are fun... and by far one my favorite fictional drugs...
with the exception of maybe JET!

So I decided to try my hand at making me a cheap prop version...
After a few moments I found a decent fold-able design of it, and it was off to Kinkos

Here is how it looks when done :


So after a quick print out on some nice heavy card-stock,
I folded out the design and it came out looking GREAT!
Weirdly has an odd flap in the back, kind of like an orbitz gum package.

Id like to mess around with this, and use it as a template for my own designs..
although beyond that (and I am reaching) to make a nice tin one
similar to this : Tin Mentats

15th Anniversary of Fallout!

On NMA (No Mutants Allowed) I was told today is the 15th Anniversary of Fallout...
Here is what they had to say :
 Fallout's birthday is a bit hard to peg. Wikipedia says 30 September but as is so often the case with wiki, this is completely unfounded. According to the original website, the "silver" date is 1 October, and it was in stores in North America by 7 October, so take either one as the anniversary date.

Nothing new for its 15th, just a good waypoint to commemorate. Go back to check out the 10th anniversary releases if you never have before.

Wasteland Weekend 2012

Wasteland Weekend 2012 has come to a close as of a few days ago,
I look forward to seeing how this years celebration in the wasteland
turned out...

Some pictures of the 'Atomic Cafe' were shown in this blog post : Here 
It looks like a damn fun time!


The apocalypse seems to be on everyone’s minds these days. Whether it’s a Mayan countdown, an economic meltdown, or a zombie hoedown, people are prepping for it, stressing about it, or watching movies about it. There are countless books and websites popping up telling you how to create an evacuation plan, what to pack in your bugout bag, and what type of scattergun or machete is best for defending your cache of dehydrated biscuits. But few people seem to be asking the most important question of all:  On the day after, where will you go for a drink?
 Ill post more highlights of this past years even as they come up...
in the meantime watch these vids, and tell me that doesnt look like
a damn fun time!

Here are some Videos of Last years events

Setting Fallout 4 Pt 2

California Literary Review has posted another blog talking in great
 detail over the location of Fallout 4. This Article wades the the brahmin shit
 covered streets of the USA to talk about locations other than the
 alleged Boston Rumors.
...what I’m discussing today is nothing short of pure, unadulterated (but hopefully still informed) speculation! The time-honored tradition of fans everywhere! Looking at something we enjoy far too much and saying, “What if this were to happen next?”
 Talking in detail on locations ranging from New Orleans
 (New New Orleans?) All the way to New Jersey (New New Jersey?)
 even the grand old country of Texas... This is a great read, well written,
 and smart (more smary, but you get the idea)


On New Jersey : Actually, if the plot centers on a G.E.C.K. gone wrong, where a “Garden of Eden” in the Garden State mutates out of control? That’s not too bad; it could even steal some of the thunder from The Last of Us. You also get literal Jersey Devils of course, and we get to see the cast of The Jersey Shore mutate further thanks to radiation . . .
Check out the Whole Articlein the links below... and Check out
the first one too... They are a fun read!
