Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 159

In which, having finally recovered Arthur's locket after accidentally uncovering a cultist lair, we dash off to Lambeth Walk to defend it from Hooligans.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 158

In which, after explaining how I probably messed up the search for Sipperson's Gin with my earlier looting, we hack the game to continue Arthur's bucket list. This leads to our next quest: recovering a locket from a dishonest trader without getting into a fire-fight with half of Westminster.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 157

In which, after a little more exploration, we help Arthur start checking off items on his bucket list. First up? Getting an expensive bottle of a particular brand of gin.

In which we continue unlocking unexplored locations on the map and Arthur opens up about what we can do to help him find peace.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 155

In which, having taken the Explorer Perk, we start visiting all the places on the map we haven't been to yet, starting with the Ministry of Information and everything close to our Lambeth Hill settlement.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 154

In which we continue our exploration of middle London, meet many interesting people, and kill them.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 152

In which, after hacking the game a bit (again) to finally retrieve Edith's trumpet from the sewer, we reunite a family. We then celebrate with a few drinks, in an effort to make Arthur like us more. (Again, peer pressure is wrong kids!)

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 151

In which, after a bit of necessary game hacking, we explore the seedy underbelly of NuSkin.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 150

In which, after hearing Audra's band play, we set off to finish all the other side-quests we've neglected, starting with exploring Westminster University and stopping a hacker from destroying the computer network. We then explore the offices of NuSkin, seeking the inevitable horrible secret behind the company.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 149

In which we return to Camden, so I can give Audra the sheet music she wanted. We then enter our "days of wine and roses" phase, as I start downing booze like there is no tomorrow to get Arthur's approval.

Just say no to peer pressure, kids! Do not drink heavily just to impress a ghoul in real life!

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 148

The exploration of the empty spaces continues, as we head west from St. Paul's (again) only to discover some cultists and a Mittenlurk Queen.

In which we start exploring the blank areas on the map west of The Gauntlet and kill a lot of Hooligans.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 144

In which, after revealing another TARDIS location I discovered by accident, we finally make our way to the Insane Asylum in Croydon. Of course given how much time we've spent in Croydon, I probably belong in an insane asylum at this point.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 143

In which, continuing to defy the laws of convection, we head into Croydon proper and discover that some people managed to survive here. For some reason they speak in Shakespearean English and Iambic Pentameter. This leads to a side-quest at the Globe Theater.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 142

In which, having found the key to the Croydon Pindar, we build a bridge and continue exploring Croydon in search of the missing Tommies. This leads to a quest to build more bridges. Literal ones. Not metaphorical.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 141

In which we continue to navigate the Crystal Maze in search of the elusive Key 4. Once free of the Maze, we explore the ruins of Croydon, fighting more Hellhounds and Gehenna.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 140

In which we start to explore the Crystal Maze and I mangle the Doofenshmirtz quote about how two nickels isn't much but it is still weird I've wound up in a gauntlet run by an AI twice in this game.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 139

In which we start fighting our way into Brixton proper, only to get challenged with a Labyrinth or Crystal Maze. Alas, we have a mad robot instead of Richard O'Brien or David Bowie.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: London - Part 138

In which, after deftly avoiding doing another side quest for Apache Alice thanks to my big brain, we defend Covent Garden from Hooligans. We then seek out Chief Roach of Brixton to see what we must do to earn his favor.
