    It's "Fallout"... but with other people. After an
    /extremely/ rough 2F8QCstart, Bethesda hammered its post-
    apocalyptic MMORPG into something worth playing. Not
    being an MMORPG fan, I can't say that I enjoy it more
    HI2HNthan the single-player games... but it can be played
    alone if you want. But as with all MMORPGs, it's
    better played with friends. So grab a shotgun and go
    shoot some super-mutants in an irradiatedQ8IB Virginia
    with your chums. It's a very Christmassy thing
    to do!

    I am not the biggest fan of Bethesda games, and definitely not one
    that is better in multiplayer.. so I will pass.

    correct?

    Wait... are ALL these gifts gonna be video games? Yeah, I'm afraid so.
    But don't let that stop you from coming back for more. Because there
    WILL be more. Many, many more.

    Ho-ho-ho!

    Ah.

    I see.

    Somebody - we're not mentioning any names here - forgot to copy the
    last letter of the code. That person - who is probably quite busy -
    has suggested that this is somehow the fault of solar flares. Rampant
    solar flares that have caused the exact same error multiple times.

    Never trust the sun.

    The game has been improved since it was launched.

    I hope so. I am sick of buggy softwares even after they were out for years! Ugh.
