If there’s a tragedy in Bethesda’s Fallout video games, it’s not the crushing blow to humanity or the near total destruction of our collective history. No, it’s the fact that it can be really hard to get our drink on in the post-apocalyptic setting. None of our favorite bars are open in the Wasteland! Fortunately, that doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the new Fallout Geeki Tikis. Via Geekologie, ThinkGeek has unveiled its latest Fallout inspired merchandise, and they look perfect for cocktails or even just a can of Nuka-Cola.

From left to right, the mugs depict the Power Armor, Vault Boy, and everyone’s beloved companion, Dogmeat. Although we have to agree with Geekologie: Tiki Dogmeat looks more like Scooby-Doo than anything else. In fact, he’s so Scooby-Doo that we half expect him to go down to the Institute and unmask the director as Old Man Shaun. The remaining Fallout inspired tiki is Deathclaw.

We have to give credit to ThinkGeek for the clever product description, which postulates that Hawaii is still a vacation destination in this ravaged world.

“Hawaii residents – sign up today and secure your family’s future. Vault-Tec is proud to announce the creation of our first secure location on the big island. With our new financing model, non-residents can opt to timeshare a vault in paradise (in case you’re on the vacation of a lifetime when the inevitable happens). But just like Hawaii, we have limited space. Sign up at your local Vault shelter today!”

The Fallout Geeki Tikis are currently available for pre-order at ThinkGeek, and they are expected to begin shipping in November. The set of four goes for $59.99, and we think they’re worthy inclusions to any geek-themed tiki collection.

112 Releases New Single 'Both Of Us' Featuring Jagged Edge 

https://www.essence.com/entertainment/112-jagged-edge-both-of-us

R&B supergroup 112 has music fans reeling with anticipation for the release of their new album and now they've given the masses even more reason to get excited about what's to come. Although the foursome has continued touring over the past decade or so and have also remained active as solo artists, the new album will be the first complete 112 project from the guys since 2005. Appropriately titled "Q.Mike.Slim.Daron" after the first name of each group member, the former Bad Boy records artists recently sent fans into a frenzy by revealing that the 15-track project includes a feature from fellow R&B crooners Jagged Edge.  Needless to say, the fellas do not disappoint. Take a listen to the single, titled "Both Of Us" below. During a recent interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, 112 provided some interesting context about the backstory behind the rumored "beef" between the two groups and also spoke about the collaboration, as well as the possiblility of a joint tour. "On this album, we actually have a record with Jagged Edge," he said. "We definitely want to tour with the guys because we do understand that the fanbase wants that. So, we were like, lets do a record [together.] They actually spear-headed the whole record and it's a really great record." The new album, Q.Mike.Slim.Daron is slated for release on October 27 and is currently available for pre-order HERE.

Sounds Like The Dark Tower TV Series Is Still Happening

https://www.themarysue.com/dark-tower-tv-series-reboot/

In a recent interview with Vulture, Stephen King alluded to the Dark Tower television series – and it’s apparently still in development. After speaking to the movie’s less-than-glowing reception, King said, “The TV series they’re developing now…we’ll see what happens with that. It would be like a complete reboot, so we’ll just have to see.”

However, a complete reboot doesn’t necessarily mean an entirely new cast. Idris Elba was initially announced as the face of the TV series – but that was before the movie premiered to lackluster reviews and disappointing box office. There hasn’t been much news since, but when asked about the future of the franchise back in September, Elba told Mashable, “I don’t actually know, if I’m really honest. I do know about the TV series, and I’m not sure where we are with that, but I couldn’t tell you what’s going to happen next. As you know, the film was sort of mixed reviews; some loved it, and I think some hated it, so who knows.”

I don’t know how to feel about this one, readers. On the one hand, the eight-novel saga of The Dark Tower was always better suited to television. As King himself pointed out in the Vulture interview, “the major challenge [with the movie] was to do a film based on a series of books that’s really long, about 3,000 pages. The other part of it was the decision to do a PG-13 feature adaptation of books that are extremely violent and deal with violent behavior in a fairly graphic way.” Seeing the success that HBO has had in adapting George R.R. Martin’s sprawling and violent Song of Ice and Fire series, it certainly seems possible that The Dark Tower could be adapted well for TV.

But will they even end up adapting the events of the novels? As Nerdist points out, “for the better part of the last decade, the TV spinoff was described as a chronicle of Roland’s early years as a Gunslinger.” Will they keep to this idea? Would that be better for everyone involved, or would it just add to origin story fatigue?

Like everyone involved, I’m not quite sure what to do with this property when it comes to adaptation, but here’s hoping that wiser minds than mine can figure it out.
