I played a bit of
Fallout 3 on... Monday, I think. Touring the Capitol Wasteland and sticking my nose in abandoned factories to see what would bite it off. Would have gotten killed if it wasn't for Dogmeat, who single-handedly (pawedly? jawedly?) dispatched the feral ghoul reaver that was still doing just fine after being hit by a Nuka-Cola Grenade[1].
(Who's the best puppy
ever? You are. Yes you are!)
He didn't even need healing afterwards. I paused the game and went downstairs to make startled noises at John.
Anyway. Had a bit of time before knitting tonight, and... eh, well.
