Dr Pete Hines releases sick note so you can stay home and play Fallout 4

Fallout 4

I don't know about you, but I think I'm coming down with something. Cough, cough, yes I'm definitely coming down with something, and I suspect I'll finally succumb at around 12am Tuesday morning. Completely coincidentally, Tuesday is when Fallout 4 (opens in new tab) releases. Anticipating an infectious sickness bug, Bethesda's Pete Hines has helpfully released a signed sick note (opens in new tab) that you can present to your boss/teacher/authority figure.

Fallout 4 sick note

You've already preloaded (opens in new tab) Fallout 4, right? If, like me, you'd rather wait for the reviews, you'll be pleased to hear that they're going live today at 8:00 EST / 13:00 GMT.

His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet.
