Because two dogs just ain't enough... and four dogs may be too many... It's Three-Dog coming at you on the only voice of truth in the Wasteland... Galaxy News Radio.

Listen children... I want you all to be extra careful out there... Word has it that a lot of travellers have been disappearing off the roads and good honest folk being carried out in the night by heavily armed raiders. Word is... a particularly unsavory bunch of cannibals have taken up residence in the central Wasteland. As if the Slavers out of Paradise Falls aren't bad enough... this bunch of raiders has apparently developed a taste for the OTHER white meat and established new hunting grounds. Be careful on the roads and watch yourselves when visiting unfamiliar settlements. We don't know yet where these cannibals are operating out of... but let's just hope that sooner or later they try to eat the wrong Wastelander and someone out there is able to wipe those flesh-eaters off the map.

Speaking of food... need to remind everyone that the good folks at Wayne's World purchase lunch supplies based on event headcount, which is driven by pre-registration. More than once the Waynes World staff has been surprised by a LOT of extra shooters at their door. All are welcome of course... but sometimes a lot of scrambling is needed along with extra trips to the Super-Duper Mart for extra supplies. To be fair to all those good people who pre-register and let us know we're coming, they'll be getting meal tickets for lunch onsite... and two additional drawings will be held for all pre-registrants by midnight, October 31st, for a $25 gift certificate to Hooters as well as complimentary access to the next MGP event.

Registration closes late Wednesday night, November 3rd. If you haven't pre-registered to let us know you're coming... we can't put you in the head-count for lunch.

And remember kids... be nice to our merchants. The good folks at Airsoft Extreme, Airsoft Unlimited and Dark Threads are helping to keep GNR and the voice of the Wasteland going. And be good to those merchants out trying to make an honest living in the Wasteland. Be sure to bring them some pre-war relics from home and they'll buy most of them off you for some bottlecaps. And remember that they don't like being robbed. I imagine any wastelander or raider feeling a little cocky and robbing a merchant for caps and merchandise is going to end up with quite a bounty on their heads.

And now... a little music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLvsmho1lGA

Pick of the Day: Go Bag, now in black!



We got a new shipment of Paladin (by S.O.Tech) bags in and the Go bags are back in stock, now in both coyote and new color: black! The Go bag was designed as a survival bag for special forces, which can be tucked into small spaces (behind a car seat, for example). It's sling design makes it easy to access without having to take it off.

We get these bags in as fast as the manufacturer can make them, and we run out of them pretty quickly too, so if you want one, better act fast.

Pick of the Day: Tru-Spec Softshell Jacket

Another great outerwear option for the season is this new softshell jacket from Tru-Spec.
It has everything you want in a softshell - it's sleek and hi-tech looking, water-resistant, and has pockets where you need them. It is also designed to fit both men and women (I don't know how they pulled that off, but it does look as flattering on me as it does on D.I., and D.I. looks incredibly cool in it, too, not to mention that it's comfortable.)

Just for fun, we did a little test with it and held the sleeve under a running tap. The water beaded and rolled off, and the fabric didn't even feel the least bit damp. This will keep the weather off you without any bulk to drag you down. Highly recommended.

Pick of the Day: Woolrich Fleece Jacket


Everyone I know who has one of these comfy Woolrich Elite Fleece Jackets says its the best fleece jacket they've ever had. Part of the reason is probably the unique design: each of the large zippered cargo pockets has loops inside to secure mags, &etc, and the sides have 2-way zippers to allow access to the waist. This jacket is also designed to layer under the Woolrich Elite Waterproof Breathable Parka to take you through multiple seasons - a worthy investment to keep you warm and dry through winter months.

Please check them out in our store!

Hello Children! Welcome back to Galaxy News Radio... with your host... Three-Dog!

Well we've all been hearing a lot of talk about the Republic of Dave. From what I hear, an increasing Deathclaw infestation out of Old Olney uprooted Dave from his old homestead and this self-proclaimed head-of-state is looking for new followers and a new place to call... well... I guess call the Republic of Dave. All I know is that the central Capital Wastes are a pretty dangerous spot and I hope Dave has some serious fire-power to back him up or I think the Republic of Dave is going to see more armies storming back and forth across it than Poland.

I know a lot of us have been getting worried about those Slavers out of Paradise Falls. But the Three-Dog is here to help shed a little light on that gloom and doom. The Regulators have upped their presence in the Central Wastelands and I hear that they are establishing an outpost out of the MDPL-11 Power Plant. Believe they have a couple merchants that have set up shop down there as well so it looks like the long arm of the Law in the Wasteland is helping to do its part to bring some stability to our lives.

Little public service announcement people... in order to help the Wasteland Census and make sure there is ample food and missions for everybody... I can't stress just how important it is to pre-register. And that just doesn't mean posting on a forum that you and those mangy shooters you call your posse are coming... but actually pre-register online and pay for your admission. Lunch counts, staffing and mission planning is all driven by pre-registration. It'll save you some pre-war money... but it's an important courtesy for both Waynes World and MGP... your gracious hosts of this little apocalyptic blight we call the Capital Wastes.

In the meantime... get to repairing your wasteland outfits and armor... make sure those weapons are working and be sure to look around your own personal homestead for any pre-war relics you can't live without... but that you think our wasteland merchants may want to buy from you.

And now... a little music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsxJmzkX63c&feature=related

Hello Children! It's Three-Dog coming at ya out of the depths of the Capital Wasteland on Galaxy News Radio!

I've got a public service announcement for those of you out travelling in the Capital Wastes. Eulogy Jones and his band of Slavers and ne'er-do-wells have been seen ranging as far south as the Fairfax Ruins. Pretty bold considering the reports of a Super Mutants in the ruins... but word on the street is that the Slavers are making a play to extend their reach outside of Paradise Falls. That doesn't look good for any of us.

I know there are some unscrupulous types out there in the Wastelands that don't mind a little bad karma... trying to make deals with the Slavers or even working for them. Word of advice... you'd better think twice about cutting deals with Eulogy Jones. The Slavers see the world as made up of two types of people... Slavers and Slaves. And if you ain't one of them... that doesn't leave a whole lot to chose from. They're likely to turn on you at the drop of Eulogy's purple velvet hat... so watch out!

I've been hearing that after the Brotherhood of Steel opened up Vault 109 a while back that some sort of church has set up camp in the vault. Calling themselves the Church of She or some other such nonsense. Say they welcome travellers and provide them safe haven... but take it from Three-Dog.. ain't too many selfless people living in the Capital Wastes... at least not too many that make it more than a week or two on their own. You're welcome to see what the Church is all about... but I'd keep my eyes open and my gun loaded.

And now... a little music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD1Fjird9XI&p=29C77A6A5C512516&playnext=1&index=19

Pick of the Day: Paladin Go Bag (by S.O.Tech)




I love the low profile of this Paladin Go bag. For short missions, it's just big enough to hold the essentials, and because you sling it, it's easy to get to your stuff without taking it off. It's slim design also makes it the perfect bug out bag for tucking behind a car seat.

This item is so popular that it's hard to keep in stock. We sell out of them very quickly, but we are getting another shipment in, and in addition to coyote, they now come in black! If you like what you see, we recommend pre-ordering with us, and we will be happy to reserve one for you. Contact sales@darkthreads.com for more information.
