Coinciding with their announcement of Fallout 4, Bethesda released a free iOS version of Fallout to whet their fans appetite for the retro futuristic vibe of the series.

While both games are about surviving in a post-apocalyptic future, Fallout Shelter is more about managing the resources of a community than it is about guiding a single individual’s adventures. This week we chat about the game and its commitment to collectivist concern. The needs of the many, after all, outweigh the needs of the few (or so we’ve been told by a certain pointy eared philosopher from outer space).

This podcast is also available via Soundcloud.
