Edward Storage is cool, but Fallout: London has one bit of satire that arguably feels a bit out of place, and a new mod does away with it

In the time I've spent with it so far one of my favourite things about massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London are its fun little parodies and jokes about iconic UK brands and staples. However, there's one parody company you'll find throughout post-apocalyptic England that I'd argue doesn't feel like it fits in as well as others, and I'm clearly not alone, as there's already a mod to swap it out.

If you've yet to play much of London, or are holding out until the fixes for the technical issues that've plagued a lot of people's time with it since release have been deployed, it's full of the exact kinds of parodies of real-world products and things that we've come to expect from Fallout. This time, it's just that we're getting Ion Brew in place of Irn Bru, rather than Nuka Cola in place of the Coca variety.

While I love that, and the likes of Edward Storage - that's Team FOLON's version of iconic British trucking company Eddie Stobart, whose uniquely named lorries I have fond memories of getting way too jazzed up about seeing during family roadtrips as a child (this isn't my real backstory, I was actually raised by a Yeti in the mountains of Tibet) - there's one parody brand in the mod which feels a bit out of place.

Yup, The Fallout TV show fed Fallout on Game Pass a pretty huge dose of Buffout, Microsoft CEO confirms

Amazon's Fallout TV show has rightly earned about nine million plaudits since it came out, and the latest comes from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During a call outlining the company's latest batch of financial numbers, we've learned the extent to which the show boosted the player counts of Fallout titles on Game Pass.

Touching on the show, which recently recieved a bunch of Emmy nominations and was renewed for a second season faster than you can bring up VATS, Nadella revealed (thanks, IGN) that "hours played on Game Pass for the Fallout franchise increased nearly 5x quarter-over-quarter" following the show's arrival.

While we already knew that Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell running around California had done wonders for the amounts of folks delving back into Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout New Vegas, and their predecessors, Microsoft hadn't previously outlined the effect it'd had on Game Pass specifically.

Don't worry, Fallout: London's devs are busy working on its issues, and there's already a mod that solves the biggest - your crippling dog food addiction

Following its release, those delving into massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London have been faced with a number of teething issues. The good news is that the modders are very much on the case and have been busy prepping fixes, though it's taken an outside modder to help those whose characters can't stop munching on pet food.

Since London came out last week, following an unavoidable delay caused by Fallout 4's next-gen update, it's been earning lots of thumbs up (we've enjoyed what we've played so far), but folks have been running into lots of crashes and other bugs.

While there are some steps you can take to make the mod crash less often, Team FOLON knows this isn't ideal and has put out a statement outlining its plans to deal with these teething issues beyond the kind of helpful triage that's been going on in Fallout: London's Discord server.

Fallout: London is a truly impressive modding achievement that mostly hits the mark, but it's barely playable right now




I'll give Fallout: London (FOLON) this—it crashes smoother than any Bethesda game I've played. Ordinarily, hitting a hard stop in Fallout 4 or Skyrim means my PC blacking out, leaving me groping in the dark for a way to kill the process. Alt-Tab? No. Ctrl-Alt-Del? No. Hang on, I appear to have just opened LinkedIn...

After years, Fallout 4's much-anticipated 'DLC-sized' mod Fallout: London is out, here's how to install it




fter years of development and a last-minute, Bethesda-induced delay, Fallout 4 megamod Fallout: London is finally here. A "DLC-sized" undertaking, Fallout: London takes the series' post-nuclear apocalyptic setting and transports it all the way across the Atlantic to dear old Blighty. It's even enlisted a former speaker of the House of Commons and Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion—voice actor Neil Newbon—onto its voice acting crew. You can add it to your GOG library right now, completely for free...
