So, in Fallout: New Vegas, there is a card game called “Caravan.” It is confusing as hell. Hopefully this guide will help explain it a little bit for you. Enjoy.

The sad thing about this comic is that it’s not even really that far off from the truth. We’ve repainted our house five times in five years. We usually don’t paint with a hammer and gas can, but I’m willing to learn new techniques.

Good news for all you PC Achievement Hunters, Microsoft just announced in a Press Release that Games for Windows Live will be getting a new, streamlined online store to rival Steam. The store will allow millions of gamers to quickly access classic games, indie titles and bit blockbuster hits like the upcoming Fable III.
The service will be available from November 15th, and will function similarly to the XBox Live Marketplace with Games on Demand, easier navigation and regular offers like Deal of the Week.

Streamlined
This service will be all about ease of access, allowing player to quickly get to the games they love by offering:

• Online access, anywhere. Optimized for speed, the store allows for ultra-fast downloads; this means fewer clicks to purchase and download, delivering faster turnaround for gameplay.

Indie games will also be included, as well as well known Microsoft Game Studios franchises, including Halo, Gears of War and Flight Simulator. Upcoming blockbuster titles will also be available, such as Fable III, Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight.

Hey Everyone,
I got kind of paralyzed by options today, but eventually was able to knock out a video in EA Sports: MMA. This handy guide shows you how to get “The Impossible” Achievement, as well as “Rock Out With Your Knockout” and “Hands of Stone.” Enjoy!

Hey Everyone,
I’ve got the first of a slew of Vanquish videos for you tonight. This one shows how to get the “Robots Tend to Blow Up” Achievement in Level 1-3.

Alright folks, here is the first in what will be many guides for Fallout: New Vegas. This one goes over the quest “Come Fly With Me” which will net you an achievement once you beat it.

Keep in mind, there are spoilers in the video, so if you want to go in fresh, stay away. If you want to go in dirty, enjoy!

We have two more (of many) Vanquish videos for you today. The first is a really, really helpful and awesome vid from Fragger showing where to find all of the hidden collectibles in the first Act of the game. I’m embarrassed to say that of the 18, I only found one in my first playthrough.

The second is a video I made showing an easy place to get the Home Run and Home Run God Achievements. Hope they help!

Like all Fallout games, New Vegas is full of awesome Easter Eggs. Here are a couple themed around George Lucas movies that we wanted to point out! If you know of any, or spot something cool, email it to us and we’ll take a look.
