I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

There seem to be some complaints from a die-hard section of the Fallout community that believes the declared-canon Fallout TV show on Amazon has made the events of New Vegas non-canon. But at worst, it’s a confusing date shown in the show for half a second, at best, it’s totally explainable and New Vegas was not made non-canon at all. And if you watch the entire series, you know just how important it is and will be to the TV series.

The timeline shows the “fall” in 2277. But then the nuke goes off at a different time than that, is the idea. For instance, the “fall” appears to have driven many residents of Shady Sands underground into Vault 4, one of the plotlines from later in the series. This also aligns with Maximus’s apparent age both in the show and when the nuke went off in Shady Sands.
