I bet I would play the everloving crap out of the Fallout Vault based city management game if it were ON ANDROID. Argh. One of the few properties I ever clicked Follow on Facebook, and the bastards deluge me with reminders about this game I can't play.

Bastards.

I'm playing way too much of it, but I'm already running low on interest. I threw $20 of microtransactions at it, but that didn't work. I'll probably tap out of it within the next week or so when I hit the vault max for inhabitants. Not sure why I would keep playing after that.

If the vault is self-sustaining, I don't need to level up any skills any further. The items found in the wasteland are nearly valueless despite extended exploring. There's no replay draw once you max out the vault.

I don't need much. just something for my subway trips commuting, when I don't feel like 10 minutes of e-books. And poop time. I've never spent money on a cell phone game beyond a few $2 dollar google store deals, etc.

PS4 related: At least going by the e3 trailers, it sounds like the second half of 2015 will see a good 6 heavy hitters released. So many amazing trailers. Unfortunately I continue to be completely useless at console controllers. Too many years as a PC gamer. I can hardly even steer myself around an FPS, after several stubborn attempts at getting into FarCry 4. I have tonight off, the roommate is out of town, so it's me, a new game on Easy Mode, two joints, pizza, and my enormous projection screen in a small apartment. Let's see how far I go before I give up and watch Carlos strike out Gio a couple times over on FS1.

While it's not MLB licensed or realistic Super Mega Baseball for the One is a lot of fun.

I got Fallout Shelter as soon as it was out for Android. I wasted every second of last weekend that I could find on it. Hit about 70 dwellers with a super awesome, happy, organized vault. Helped that I got a unique dweller card off the bat, a level 43 Colonel August when my two other rare cards were 12ish and my normal dwellers were like 8 or 9.

Anyway. It was fun. I realized in one gap away from the game that I didn't really give a [expletive] about more anything, and uninstalled it.

They shoulda put more long term stuff. O well. Bring on fall out 4 come onnnnn

I'd really love to play the things people come up with in Mario Maker.

Also, this will interest many, I'm sure:

I looked at their rules. You can change the playbook and you can't dive from the defensive line at the snap.
