"The fallout from Chernobyl"

I found this on my MSN news thing today, I thought everyone would like to have a look at it so here it is. Be sure to go through all of them.

Lonesome Road Likely Portal Location

If you look on the map in New Vegas to the west of Primm there is a location marked "Canyon Wreckage". Graffiti on the wreckage read as such:
Lonesome Road
You can go home courier
Courier 6?
The Divide
The Divide is first mentioned in the DLC Dead Money as a place that Elijah and Christine came from before Elijah went to the Sierra Madre. Christine was saved by a man that wore the old US flag on his back. This mans likely name is Ulysses, who if you got the CE for New Vegas is on one of the cards in deck of cards you get with the game. It is likely that you will meet Ulysses in this DLC.

Honest Hearts DLC Northern Passage likely

So I was going around just minding my own business when I decided to go take a look at the Northern Passage again for 2 banana yucca fruit plants that grow in front of it. When I got there I noticed that the boulders that had been there since the game came out, where gone. Instead the entrance is now open, inside there is a tunnel with lanterns leading to a cave entrance that goes straight forward. The entrance say's Mojave Wasteland, but it is likely to say something else when the dlc finally comes out. Be sure to check it out and decide for yourself, but it's glaringly obvious that they are planning to do something with this location.

New Patch details

The new patch that is coming out for New Vegas fixes all this, so go through it and see whats changing.

Guns:

• Automatic Guns - SMGs, the Assault Carbine, and the LMG are more accurate across the board. They're also more durable. 12.7mm SMG mag capacity increased to 21.
• Shotguns - Buckshot has received a x1.2 inherent DAM mod. This slightly incentivizes using buckshot over slugs when enemy armor is not an issue. Magnum buckshot has a x1.3 DAM mod and a small amount of DT bypass. Spread for many shotguns has been lowered.
• Hunting Rifle, Anti-Materiel Rifle - Hunting Rifle and AMR now have the lowest spread of all rifles. Hunting Rifle RoF increased, Crit Chance set to x2. Anti-Materiel Rifle's Crit DAM has been raised from 80 to 110 to make it more viable when compared to the Gobi.
• Sniper Rifle, Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle - Sniper Rifle and Gobi now have a higher RoF and lower AP cost. Both have x2 Crit Chance. Gobi has increased DAM and much higher Crit DAM over the Sniper Rifle.
• That Gun - That Gun is now a slow-firing hand cannon that does huge DAM firing 5.56mm out of a short barrel.
• Hunting Revolver – Rate of Fire increased.
• Service Rifle - DAM slightly lowered, firing animation changed to the one used by Marksman Carbine, RoF dramatically increased. Spread decreased.
• Silenced .22 Pistol, SMG - Crit DAM and Crit Chance significantly increased.
• 5mm Ammo - Base ammo has 10 points of DT bypass. AP variants have 25 points of DT bypass. This affects the Assault Carbine, Minigun, and CZ57 Avenger.
• .308 JSP - DAM mult reduced from x1.5 to x1.3. x2 CND degradation effect added.
• Lever-Action Rifles - Cowboy Repeater, Trail Carbine, Brush Gun - RoF has been slightly reduced, AP costs have been significantly increased, and spread has been slightly increased. Cowboy Repeater Custom Action RoF increase has been reduced. La Longue Carabine spread has been significantly lowered.

Explosives:

• Dynamite - Larger explosion radius.
• Frag and Plasma Grenades – DAM increased.
• 25mm Grenades - Slightly increased DAM on the explosion.
• 40mm Grenades - Significantly higher DAM on the explosion.
• Missile Launcher / Fat Man - Now have much better zoom FoV and good accuracy. Missile and Fat Man projectiles (not the explosion) have a large base DAM. Both are extremely effective on direct hits, but still potent even if a direct hit is not scored. N.B.: Listed DAM on weapons assumes a direct hit!

Energy Weapons:

• Gatling Laser - Base DAM is higher. Against heavily armored targets, this is still a poor weapon. Against lightly armored targets, especially with Over Charge or Max Charge ECPs + Focus Optics + Laser Commander, it has extraordinary DPS.
• Tesla Cannon, Tesla-Beaton Prototype - These now consume far less ammo per shot and can be fired several times before a reload. DAM is beefy with an additional 2 second DoT.
• Pew-Pew - Lower ammo capacity, consumes far fewer ECs per shot. Still a two-shot weapon.

Melee and Unarmed:

• Ripper, Chainsaw, Thermic Lance - DAM lowered, all ignore DR/DT.
• Bladed Gauntlet, Mantis Gauntlet - Ignore DR/DT flags removed (were not supposed to be marked as such). Mantis Gauntlet animation/sound fixed.

Perks:

• Splash Damage – Functions properly.
• The Professional - 10mm Pistol, SMG added to perk list.

Honest Hearts New Vegas DLC

So it seems that the next dlc will revolve around the Burned Man who's name is Joshua Graham. The man that was Ceaser's first legate and that man that lost the first battle for Hoover Dam. Ceaser ordered him doused in pitch, set on fire, and thrown into the Grand Canyon. It is likely that the dlc will use the Northern Passage as the portal for the dlc which will likely take place in Utah and include the city of New Canaan. It may also be that the Crimson Caravan will make a appearance there as well as it is talked about them trying to trade with the Mormons of New Canaan. It is also likely that as with these first 2 dlc's, there are hints to the rest of the dlc that will be coming out, so be sure to look around!!!

Japan dumping radioactive water into Pacific

Japan plans to dump highly radioactive water from the damaged reactors into the Pacific ocean. This will likely be done over deep water. There is little to fear about though as the Pacific ocean is MASSIVE and the materials will disperse rather quickly and become less than a threat. Still might not eat any pacific fish for a while!!!!
