    Wasn't that 'blue shell' though? I don't recall a purple shell, though it DOES look purple. The blue shell was the one that attacked the leader, yes?

    Also, isn't it 'pip-boy', not 'pit-boy'? Or is there a special pit-boy variant?

    Isn't the bomb anti-gravity though? There really an 'up' or 'down' in global terms, but rather inner and outer.

      I believe the blue shell and the purple shell both hit the leader; the blue one had wings though.

    Am I the only one who clicked this and immediately thought of Ratchet & Clank?

        LOL shotgunchuck. wow, i could totally see that weapon being created in a game like Devil May Cry or now Bayonetta. except changing the design to be more stylish looking, and possibly calling it just "Gunchuck" instead, and maybe adding a couple blades on it too. but it would be capable of melee or ranged attacks.

    I gotta give points to the VATS bit. That picture just sells it so well.

    Great little article this.
