I think the caption for the gecko screenshot was the only mention of any Fallout older than three:

What the hell happened to Grizzly's mod roundup?

I love Ars Technica for everything else, but their game coverage is terrible. It's almost completely XBox focused and jumps on the same me too titles as the rest of the game journalism world. They gave their Fallout 3 review to their new guy: an Oblivion fan who had never played the original...

Wow, he lost a lot of weight--at least a hundred pounds.

How much longer do they have in the "show us something substantial with two years" deal with Bethesda for the Fallout MMO?
