All this video game stuff coming down the pike probably means were in for a lot of shitty shows.

Please, not Amazon. They will butcher this just like they are doing to LOTR right now.

I’m concerned for the Fallout show Amazon is also working on

Yeah, that too. Although it's much harder to fuck up Fallout because the setting is much more open to different things and basically any kinds of characters and whatnot. Well, I guess they can make it so that the nuclear bomb is racist or something.
