Just be prepared to rescue her again and again if you plan on playing through all the Mario games that exist out there!...

Bethesda’s Fallout tease has continued via the Bethesda Twitch live stream with some oddities. Vault Boy continues to stand in front of the Please Stand By screen and has done so now for a number of hours. In that time some stuff has happened on the Stream including someone whispering into his ear in a Skyrim shirt, balloons, drinking out of a mug, a puppet appearing, poking his head, pouring Nuka-Cola into Vault-Tec cups and no doubt more japes that are still to come....

Well as a small update to that piece, that I will take credit for, Square Enix heard my cries about Toy Story....
