Oops! Almost all Fallout
What's new on Savvy Gaming Network for the Month of November 2025
The month of November is not only the month of Thanksgiving but also its my Birthday and its seems that I’m making it a tradition to go down to Goodsprings Nevada every year for the Fallout Fan Event. So to prep for it this month I did/played a lot of Fallout related things. If Fallout it not your cup of tea no worries, I also talk about Artic Eggs and have some Five Nights at Freddy’s things I did. Got a lot of food related articles this month in honor of Thanksgiving, so lets dig in!
Arctic Egg
Arctic Egg is a fun little mini-game turned full game about cooking eggs (and other things) around a dystopian Antratica. The game is in first person, you walk up to townsfolk who will give you a weird sometimes philosophical line then you start the cooking mini game. You have to cook the egg on both sides so you are going to have to flip it. As you start to master the art of flipping an egg, hazards are introduced to keep you on your toes. Cigarettes are used as a sort of timer, you have to cook the egg before the cigarette goes out on the frying pan. Fish will wiggle a bounce around making it harder to balance, but don’t worry if they fall out it automatically resets and you can start again with no penalty.
As you can probably guess this game is very surreal and it made me giggle quite a bit. The dialogue is just like when you talk silly hypotheticals with your friends. I can tell the devs had fun with the crazy camera angles during dialogue, especially during the night club section. The soundtrack is incredible, every song is bop.
Overall this game feels like one of the Adult Swim bumps you would see really late at night and wonder if it’s actually real or you dreamt it. It’s a fun way to kill three hours and get a few chuckles in. It looks boring if you’re just watching someone play it but it’s a really fun little mini game and it is skill based. You get better and you feel good about your poultry prepping skills.
The Official Five Nights at Freddy’s Cookbook Review
We have two video game themed cookbook reviews we did for our new Podcast, a spin of of the Video Game Book Club, can you guess the name? That’s right its the Video Game Cookbook Book Club! I try to keep it straight forward, easy to understand, you get it. So we started with the Fnaf cookbook because we were reading Fetch last month so this one is should have been posted in October but here we are.
The first one we decided to check out is the official Five Night’s at Freddy’s cookbook. We cooked the Official Pizza of course as well as Moondrop’s Blueberry Pancakes and Fazbear’s Dunking Cinnamon Sticks. We also made one of the beverages, the Sodaroni. We had to switch up the easy plex pizza sauce since it was a little too thin. The recipes we followed to a tee, turned out very bland. I would recommend spicing it up. When it comes to the theme of the cookbook its really allover the place. It has both older Five Night’s at Freddy’s characters as well as the newer ones from the Pizzaplex. Its really all over the place with random recipes with characters just kinda slapped on. Such as Bellora’s Salmon Burgers or Balloon Boy’s Chicken & Chorizo Fajitas. I wish these recipes were from the actual Pizzaplex from in-game restaurants like the Faz-Pad. A lot of the food doesn’t seem like things I would find in a Kids Arcade.
We have the recipe for the Official Fazbear Pizza right here if you wish to try it yourself
Fallout: The Vault Dweller’s Official Cookbook Review
This one suppose to be the one for this month but hey why not both. For the Video Game Cookbook Book Club we experimented with The Official Fallout Cookbook. The narrative of this Cookbook is were following a Vault Dweller as they explore the wasteland changing recipes from this Vault-Tec cookbook to more fit with what’s available in the wastes. Since we are presently in the times before the apocalypse we can use the ingredients from the cookbook but this Vaulty has to swap out ingredients left and right to get a similar taste. An example being Sausage Manicotti being changed to Mole Rat Manicotti, since I guess pigs are no longer a thing in the wasteland.
We made a whole bunch of items from this cookbook, Nuka-Cola, Instamash, Blamco Mac & Cheese, Mole Rat Manicotti, Fancy Lad Snack Cakes, & Ware’s Brew. I talk about the triumphs and struggles in the full article here and also on the Podcast that you can find on YouTube and Spotify.
I use to do a cooking show back in the day called Cutscene Cooking where I would make video game themed food and drinks. I decided to bring it back in collaboration with myself and this new spin off podcast I’m doing so I made little tutorials on how to make the pizza from the FNAF cookbook and Nuka-Cola from the Fallout one.
Fallout New Vegas All Roads
Sadly there is hardly any Fallout book out there but their is one prequal comic for Fallout New Vegas and since New Vegas is so hot right now we decided to check it out for the book club.
Overall the comic is a really great introduction to the game. It lays out of the games factions in a short and matter a fact way. Its a pretty short comic only about 47 pages. We go over the whole thing in our podcast as well as weird experience I had visiting the Tribal Village during my playthrough.
I Went to the Fallout Fan Celebration in Goodsprings (also known as New Vegas Day) again
Another year going down to Goodsprings, Nevada to hang out with a bunch of Fallout fans in and around the Las Vegas area. This year was a little different and a lot of other places got involved in the festivities. The Hoover Dam, The Atomic Museum and the Old Mormon Fort all had little Fallout shrines in them. That most likely has to do with the TV show’s second season taking place in New Vegas and less about the game because the world still mostly cares about TV and movies but I digress.
This is the 4th annual Fallout New Vegas fan event to take place at the Goodsprings Saloon. It’s also the first one to cost money to attend. I don’t blame them, the small little tavern is getting overwhelmed and they have to pay for shuttle buses somehow.
They had more things to do this year, such as panels with voice actors and face actors (from the TV show). A film festival and cooking challenge. It was like a real convention. They also changed the name to encompass all Fallouts and not just New Vegas but lets be honest, we all know where we’re here and it’s not because of the Capital Wasteland. Although next year the owners of the Goodsprings Saloon are throwing two Fallout Fan Events. One on the East Coast in West Virginia in May and of course the one in Goodsprings in November.
In my article on SGN I go over the whole trip, my journey to get a star bottle cap, me joining the Enclave, the flash flood during the event etc etc…
Fallout 76: Appalachia Travel Log # 1
Before I left for the event I wrote about my experience getting really into Fallout 76 for about a month. There was ups and downs. It’s weird to come back to post-apocalyptic Appalachia. I got Fallout 76 as a gift back when it was released in 2018. I booted it up immediately and wandered around an empty West Virginia. No NPCs, hardly any players, just me, my fiancé and a friendly wandering Super Mutant named Grahm. There wasn’t much to do, It felt like I was playing an abandoned MMO.
I decided to sit on it and wait for Bethesda to fix it and add more content. Fast forward 8 years later and I decided to jump back in. By now there has been multiple updates and new content and it feels like a completely different game. It’s strange to go back to once abandoned locations and find that people have set up shop there. Abandoned houses are now occupied and NPC get mad that you dare be on “their property”. New enemies have moved in making the land even more hostile. Quests changed from their original intent. The Overseer quest used to be the main quest now it has been downgraded to a side quest and I’m pretty sure the outcome is different ( I actually didn’t finish the Overseer quest back in 2018).
I came back for the C.A.M.P update to my rinky dink shack in the Ash Heap. When I started 76 I didn’t much care for base building. Which is strange because I loved settlement building in Fallout 4. But grinding in a MMO type game just so I can craft a toilet didn’t sound fun at all. It’s still not fun but I think I understand the appeal. Fallout 76 has turned into a based building game, everything you do in this game is for your C.A.M.P. or at least it feels that way. Once I got into decorating my base, I got hooked. Fallout 76 is the type of game you pick up for about a month and put down for a year or two just to pick it back up again for a month and get sucked in all over again.
I had fun but my main beefs in the article was the romances being really awful and same goes for the Ghoul update. This isn’t the last time I will play Fallout 76 but I think I’ll take another break. Check out my full thoughts here
The Freddy Fazbear Crunch of 87 Box at Popeyes
Finally on my way back from the Fallout event in Vegas I got a message that they had FNAF crunch boxes at Popeyes, I didn’t believe them so I took a detour to Popeyes and they did so I just wrote an article about the promotion because I figured if it was good enough for GameSpot to post about then its good enough for me to talk about, although I’m not getting payed to talk about it unlike GameSpot.
