Icarus Rocks On...
Tis’ the season for the Seasonal Arctic Network of Toy-based Altruism (S.A.N.T.A.) to band together and reinstate the age old tradition of gift giving in post apocalyptic Arizona. S.A.N.T.A. have loaded up their all-terrain sleighs at North Poland and travelled across the globe to distribute presents. (I haven’t quite figure out why North Poland yet – except perhaps some dev from Icarus Stuidos “hails” from there as they say).
This, of course, is only possible with the help of the Emissaries Leaving Free Stuff (E.L.F.S.) acting as a “special ops team ensuring proper protocols for supply distribution”. I know this is all true for I have it all straight from the mouth of Corporal Claus.
While the military faction (The Enforcers) is busy bringing toys in “Operation Nice” the scientific faction (The Techs) have been figuring out how to build a snowman in the middle of an irradiated desert. I must say I like their solution. Icarus studios rocks on… I give you the rock man (see image above)
Now there are plenty of seasonal goodies to be had, but just in time for Christmas the devs at Icarus Studios have brought us all some permanent presents that are now in full swing…camp sites and bunker bars.
My first stop, of course, was the “construction zone” (a street corner in New Flagstaff was the one nearest me) where I learned how to build camping equipment…
Time to learn to camp!
After that, of course, it was off to the nearest city run by the Traveler Faction where our clan leader and I (read guild leader for all you World of Warcraft players out there) hit the slots and the black jack machines.
After winning a few chips I head over to the bar to enjoy a drink, and wonder how hard it would be to build my own rock man.
See you online,

I have to say that Icarus nailed the gambling bunkers. The ambient sounds, the music: the entire experience feels dirty without actually “going there”.
Santa lives at the North Pole.
(At least he does unless you are the Lapland Tourist Board).
[...] awesome “Bunker Bars” that came with the recent patch. I’m pleased to say that the atmosphere of the casino bars is spot-on with Fallen Earth’s tone, and Icarus really did a great job incorporating both the [...]
“North Poland” is a play on “North Pole”.
It’s like the North Pole, except… more Slavic.
