In a new announcement, it has been revealed that "Fallout" will officially have a house at Halloween Horror Nights.
"There's no sheltering from this horror," the social media announcement read. "See if you can survive the nuclear apocalypse as you're immersed in 'Fallout.'"
Much like the house based on "The Last of Us" in 2023 was based on the HBO Max series, it seems that the "Fallout" house will be based on the Amazon Prime adaptation starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten.

Even though it is recognized more as science fiction than horror, there are plenty of terrifying moments and themes that the team at Universal Studios can pull from.
First of all, the series is filled with gory moments that will give ample opportunity for designers to go wild with special effects.
Then there are all the various factions and mutated people that can pop in to terrify guests, like the Brotherhood of Steel, the inhabitants of Vault 4, and raiders.

Finally, there are all the monsters from the show that are sure to terrify guests, including Radroaches, Gulpers, and Ghouls.
Of particular note is the Yao Guai, which is a black bear that has been mutated by radiation. Halloween Horror Nights has shown off epic animatronics in the past, and this could be another opportunity to do so.
Needless to say, there is plenty of material to pull from just in the series. However, if the people at Halloween Horror Nights wanted to pull from the games, I'm sure casual and hardcore fans would be perfectly fine with that, especially looking at The Family from "Fallout 3."

The "Fallout" series was a massive success, receiving critical acclaim, audience praise, and plenty of award nominations, particularly for Goggins as The Ghoul and Purnell as Lucy.
Season 2 of the hit series is set to premiere in December 2025 on Amazon Prime.

I'm the CEO of Twitch. My day starts with a 5-mile run and often ends with playing country songs on a late-night livestream.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dan Clancy, the 61-year-old CEO of Amazon-owned Twitch, who lives outside of Portland, Oregon. It's been edited for length and clarity. When I was an undergrad at Duke, I double-majored in computer science and theater — an unusual combination that often raised eyebrows. Most people couldn't see how the two fit together. Fast-forward a few decades, and my path led me deep into tech: earning a Ph.D. in AI and computer science and working at places like NASA, Google, YouTube, and Nextdoor. By the time I arrived at Twitch, I was seen primarily as a tech executive. But at my core, I've always been a creative. Being CEO of Twitch gives me the rare opportunity to bring both sides of myself — technologist and creative — into a single role. Here's what a typical day looks like for me. BI's Power Hours series gives readers an inside look at how powerful leaders in business structure their workday. See more stories from the series here, or reach out to the editor Lauryn Haas to share your daily routine. I wake up at 7 a.m. and run five miles I usually wake up naturally. I don't worry about an alarm clock. I try to exercise in the morning unless I have a super early meeting. If my meeting starts at 9 a.m., I'll wake up at 7 a.m. or so, and then I'll try to be out running by 7:30 a.m., and I'll run four or five miles. I will get back about 8:30 a.m. In 2017, I started running regularly. In the past, I'd run for three months and then I'd stop. This time I gamified it and it stuck. Then I started biking, I started swimming, and then I did two Ironmans. I did a number of half-Ironmans. I did a half-Ironman last year. I use a Garmin. I'm not training right now, but when I am training, I'll try to exercise twice a day. Aside from bike riding or swimming, I like to white-water kayak. Usually, I am at my home in Washington working remotely, so I don't need to worry about commuting. I try not to look at my phone. It's always tempting to start swiping in some random app, but in general, I very much try to avoid. If I'm swiping for five minutes, it's probably Instagram. I drink Coca-Cola, not coffee I'm not a coffee drinker and I'm not much of a breakfast eater. At one point, when I was trying to lose weight, I did intermittent fasting, and now I'm not intermittent fasting, but I still often don't eat in the morning. My bad habit is I drink Coca-Cola now. I try to keep it to one, and I don't need it in the morning, but I do get caffeine. I always go through these cycles of saying, "I need to stop drinking Coke." And then I stop for a while and I feel good about it, and then I start drinking it. Ever since I was young, I'll keep flopping back and forth, and the family is constantly encouraging me to give up the habit. My day is back-to-back meetings I spend most of the time meeting with people. It might be a product review or a go-to-market review. I have one-on-ones with various folks. Some days we have an off-site with our leadership team. Slack is the primary channel. I still check my email regularly, but to be honest, my email now is dominated by messages I don't need to pay attention to. I have a 30-minute meeting later to sync on a personnel project. Then I have a two-hour quarterly business review. This is Amazon culture for managing what's going on. Once a quarter, we'll have a QBR for all of our business units. This one is for community health, which is the team that works on our moderation tools. Lunch is usually some form of a sandwich. I'm not a fine-dining person. I just think, why should I spend 30 bucks on a lunch? I can afford 30 bucks on a lunch, but it seems like I don't need it. My generative hours are around midnight There's also times when I need to be generative. I find it hard to be generative in the same space and in the middle of a day. Often, my modus operandi is that I'll get going at 10 or 11 at night, and then I'll just write till one in the morning. This probably was conditioned in me when my kids were young. I was working at NASA at the time, and then Google for some of it. Google is a good example. Folks were staying late at Google in 2005, but I'd still try to get home at 6 or 6:30. I'd spend time with the kids, do dinner, run around outside. Half the time I'd fall asleep while putting them to bed. Then I'd wake up at 11:00 p.m., start catching up on email and writing stuff. People always joked that they would get these notes from me at 3:00 a.m. I hang out and sing on livestream Today my work day ends at 3 p.m. because I'm streaming tonight. I'm doing my first full charity stream with an organization GCX for St. Jude's. The beauty of streaming is very little goes into prepping it. I streamed Tuesday night and the prep work that went into the stream was: I showed up in the room where we have a piano, I turned on the computer, I made sure my OBS configuration was right, and I hit "Go live." On that stream, I talked with the community some, but then I played probably a handful of songs. Sometimes I like to drop in on other streamers and hang out with them. On that stream, I knocked on T Pain's stream and we hung out for like 45 minutes chatting. Then I did an hour more of songs and signed off. The other day I was mostly playing Tyler Childers' songs. I'm a big fan of Zach Bryan, so I do a lot of his songs. Sturgill Simpson, Gregory Alan Isakov, and this guy Jeffrey Martin, who I think is amazing. Everybody knows "Let It Be" or "Take Me Home, Country Road" or "Piano Man," but those aren't the ones I usually choose. I consider myself a mediocre piano player, but as I'm improvising, it sounds like I know what I'm doing. I read and spend time with my kids after work If I'm at home, I'll do something with the kids at night. My son's 23, my daughter's 27. My daughter has an 11-month-old now. We all live close to each other. I'm the one who often did the cooking, but that's just because I'm a functional cook. I pick some form of protein, a tri-tip, steak, salmon, chicken. I pick something to do with potatoes, and then they're like five vegetables that are my go-to. It's fairly repetitive. I mostly cook at home. I can't remember the last time I had a non-work dinner where we made a reservation. I'll watch TV shows, but I don't watch many movies anymore. I just watched "Paradise." I liked "Your Friends and Neighbors" and "The Penguin." A little bit of drama, but not a horror thing. When it's time to wind down around 10:30 to 11 p.m., I'll lie down and read. I just finished reading "Long Island" by Colm Tóibín. I like novels, but I'm not really a Tom Clancy novel reader. I'm much more of a literary novel reader, something that has emotional connection. One of my favorite authors is Cormac McCarthy and his book "The Road." I've read it a few times. I fall asleep fairly quickly once I've started reading. Ten minutes and I'm getting sleepy.

Labrador Retriever Has Been At Shelter Nearly 1500 Days—It's 'Taken A Toll'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog is closing in on 1,500 days at an animal shelter and, sadly, it's beginning to show. Lucky the Labrador Retriever's situation first came to light after staff at the Ady Gil World Conservation (AGWC) Rockin' Rescue Animal Adoption Center in California posted a video to TikTok under the handle @agwcrockinrescue earlier this month, highlighting how long he had been there. By that time, Lucky had been waiting 1,482 days to find a forever home to call his own. Now he is just two weeks away from racking up 1,500 days there. The sad reality is that Lucky really hasn't had all that much luck in his life to date. "Lucky came to us on June 29, 2021," Fabienne Origer from AGWC Rockin' Rescue told Newsweek. "He was originally rescued from a neglect situation, and although we don't know every detail about his past, it's clear he didn't receive much love or structure before arriving here." Read more Great Dane realizes owner's ex isn't coming home—His reaction breaks hearts Great Dane realizes owner's ex isn't coming home—His reaction breaks hearts Despite those difficult beginnings, Lucky has emerged as a favorite among staff at AGWC, with Origer describing him as "incredibly intelligent, loyal and eager to please." "Some of Lucky's favorite things include going for walks, playing fetch, and spending time with the people he trusts," Origer said. "He's also a big fan of enrichment toys and mental stimulation—he's the kind of dog who thrives when he has a job to do." Sadly, Lucky has not garnered much in the way of interest from visitors to the shelter. "Lucky has struggled to get adopted mainly because he needs experienced dog owners and a home without small children," Origer said. "He takes a bit of time to trust new people, and that initial hesitation can be challenging in a shelter setting where first impressions are everything." Shelter dogs have the smallest of windows in which to catch the eye of a visitor. One 2014 study published in Applied Animal Behavior Science found that the average shelter visitor interacts with just one dog per visit, and that these interactions last an average of eight minutes. That's not enough time for Lucky. He needs someone with patience. Someone willing to put in the time. It's worth it though. "Once he bonds with someone, he's all in—devoted and affectionate," Origer said. Lucky is closing in on 1500 days in the shelter. Lucky is closing in on 1500 days in the shelter. TikTok/agwcrockinrescue Until that someone comes along though, Lucky has little choice but to watch and wait from the confines of the shelter. It's a situation that has clearly had an impact, with Lucky appearing nervous and withdrawn in the video posted to TikTok by AGWC. "He's starting to lose hope and becoming depressed," a caption accompanying the footage warns. "Spending over 1,400 days without a home has definitely taken a toll on Lucky," Origer said. "While we do everything we can to give him the best life possible at the rescue, nothing compares to the stability, routine, and love that a forever home can provide. He deserves that." Though Lucky may have given up hope of finding that forever home he so desperately needs, the AGWC hasn't and, after four years together, have a clear idea of the kind of home he would be best suited to. "Lucky would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who has experience handling larger breeds and is willing to go at his pace," Origer said. "He needs someone who understands that trust takes time—but once it's earned, it's for life."

BEHIND THE ABSTRACT: Exploring Adrian Gabriel Dumitru's Hidden Messages and Reflections on Identity
In the realm of modern introspective literature, few authors provoke as much thoughtful self-questioning as the Romanian Adrian Gabriel Dumitru. His Kindle series, now including BEHIND THE ABSTRACT: … there is always a message (Love Essays … contradictory perceptions / Book 10), stands as a powerful reminder that what we see is often far removed from the truth that lies beneath. With the book available on Amazon, Google Play Books, and Apple Books, Dumitru continues his mission to guide readers toward deeper self-reflection, spiritual growth, and an honest look at the duality of the mind. Born in Romania, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru—often simply credited as Adrian Dumitru—has built a unique legacy in reflective essays that examine the quiet spaces within our minds. He weaves together ideas of illusory thoughts, inner conflict, and the illusion of identity into essays that feel like personal conversations with the reader. At the heart of his writing is an urgent desire to awaken our mindful awareness to the hidden messages embedded in everyday life. Unlike typical self-help books, Dumitru's BEHIND THE ABSTRACT is both subtle and provocative. The essays don't spoon-feed answers. Instead, they pose questions that challenge you to consider your own identity crisis, contradictory thoughts, and the fragile nature of human consciousness. Through these philosophical reflections, Dumitru creates a space for self-therapy through writing, a practice he passionately believes can unlock authentic personal transformation. A core idea in Dumitru's work is that life is coded with hidden messages—signs we often overlook in our rush for certainty. By slowing down, observing patterns, and practicing pattern recognition, we begin to decode these clues and gain insights into the deeper abstract meaning of our thoughts and actions. This journey reveals the paradox at the heart of existence: the tension between perception vs reality. Dumitru believes this tension is not a problem to be solved but a truth to be accepted. Modern life encourages us to build strong personal brands—clear, fixed versions of ourselves to present to the world. Dumitru argues that this is an illusion of identity. Beneath the roles we play lies a shifting mindscape of illusory thoughts and inner conflict. In BEHIND THE ABSTRACT, Dumitru challenges us to sit with these illusions, to explore them through self-reflection, and to embrace the existential thinking that arises when we admit how little we truly know about ourselves. Although Dumitru's book tackles complex ideas like the duality of the mind and human consciousness, it never strays far from its subtitle: Love Essays. Love, for Dumitru, is the thread that binds these contradictions together. It is through love—whether for a person, an idea, or the universe itself—that we find the courage to face our identity crisis, work through contradictory thoughts, and pursue spiritual growth. A defining feature of Dumitru's approach is his belief in writing as a tool for healing. His essays model how to turn writing into a mirror—reflecting our mind and emotion, revealing our inner conflict, and slowly transforming confusion into clarity. By practicing self-therapy through writing, readers can move beyond passive reading into active personal transformation. It's not about arriving at final answers but about becoming comfortable with the questions themselves. One of the book's most liberating insights is its embrace of contradictory thoughts. Dumitru insists that we do not need to force tidy resolutions. Instead, we can live in the tension between opposing ideas—seeing this not as weakness but as the birthplace of wisdom. This mindset fosters mindful awareness, a state in which we observe thoughts and feelings without judgment, recognizing that truth often lives between extremes. At a time when quick answers are just a search away, Dumitru's work reintroduces the art of existential thinking. He invites readers to look beyond their immediate struggles, to question the nature of reality, and to embrace the vastness of human consciousness. His essays remind us that it is possible to hold multiple truths at once—to accept uncertainty as a natural part of life's journey. If you are ready to explore the deep questions of your own mind and heart, BEHIND THE ABSTRACT is a perfect starting point. You can find it now on: Amazon Kindle Google Play Books Apple Books In the end, BEHIND THE ABSTRACT is more than a book. It's an invitation from Adrian Gabriel Dumitru—the Romanian voice of modern philosophical essays—to step away from the noise and sit quietly with your own thoughts. Through its exploration of illusory thoughts, the illusion of identity, dualities of the mind, and the timeless struggle of perception vs reality, this book offers a gentle but powerful reminder: beneath the abstract, there is always a message waiting to be heard.
