Expanse or not another SF show...


It is basically, an adaptation of the books by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (writing under alias James S. A. Corey). At first, there are many point of views and characters and you get a bit lost in the plot. But once you find yourself a little more informed, it is really somethign different.
You could find the underlying comments about the modern world and politics. The so-called Belters being exploited by the other, stronger parties: Earth and Mars. The validity of torture. whether one can stay corupt-free in the modern world. How the means of pressure are being used on the police force.

I believe that SF movies are really interesting (of course not al of them, but in general), because they show us what can happen with our world in the future. There are many posibilities, but which one will we take is ratehr unclear.

Crawl out through the fallout




Or one of the songs that appear in the newest game of Bethesda studio, mainly Fallout 4. Thanks to my brother, the whole soundtrack of the game is latched into my memory.
Apparently, some time has passed since the last game in the Fallout series, namely 5 years. That is a lot of time for developing another sequel. The game was intensively promoted, with adverts in cinemas, bus stops and even App Store, where you could play a free game where you build your own vault. Everything to put you in the post-apocalyptic mood.

Has the gameplay reach the hype that was generated? Well, the haters will always hate, there is nothing that will stop the that. Definitely one of its strongest suits is the freedom given to the player as to how he wants to play and which aspect go the playthrough to focus on.
