Goodbye, World: Fallout Shelter Released for Android

The only low point of Todd Howard's E3 presentation was having to wait for Fallout Shelter to be released for Android devices. Now that the wait is over, I'm happily lording over my vault dwellers; assigning them jobs, dressing them in various outfits and sending them out into the wasteland. As invested as I've been in the Fallout universe, I'm always curious about any new approach to it. Fallout Shelter blends the RPG with elements of The Sims and Sim Tower (that's right, I went way back).

Off the Couch and Into the Apocalypse

Today I ran from zombies for nearly 3 km. This wasn't in DayZ of Left 4 Dead, this was real running from make believe zombies. My wife and I picked Zombies, Run! a couple days ago, and so far we are really enjoying it. Three days ago, I would have laughed at the idea of going for a run. It's never been something I could motivate myself to do. Any time I tried, I came home with a twisted ankle, cramps and a burning chest. Now I finish with a bunch of supplies for my beleaguered base and the pride of having evaded packs of the undead.
