The prolonged and torturous absence of Fallout is something that we’ve spoken about on numerous occasions here at GamingBolt, especially over the last year or so. Sure, we get frequent Fallout 76 updates, and yes, we recently got the fan-made expansion-sized mod Fallout London, and of course, Amazon Prime’s Fallout show has been an absolute delight so far. But a new Fallout game is something we haven’t seen in what feels like an eternity, and it’s probably going to be many, many years before that changes.
Fret not, however, Fallout fans, because the recently released S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl might just be the game to scratch that Fallout…
Former Leeds United favourite Paddy Kisnorbo believes that controversial ex-owner Ken Bates would be welcomed back to the club.
Leeds are now owned by Massimo Cellino, who has been the subject of regular headlines since buying the Yorkshire club in February and involved in a string of court cases, including one he won against the Football League to officially take charge of United.
The Italian known as a manager eater in his homeland for his propensity to sack coaches at former club Cagliari has already parted company with Brian McDermott and Dave Hockaday and there have been numerous unconfirmed reports of player disharmony.
But Cellino still receives a welcome reception in Leeds something that Bates rarely experienced in the city.
The former Chelsea own…
Antonio Conte allowed himself little time to dwell upon Chelsea s stunning win at Atletico Madrid as he attacked the Premier League for allowing this weekend s showdown with Manchester City to be scheduled on Saturday.
Chelsea fell behind to an Antoine Griezmann penalty in the Champions League Group C match at Wanda Metropolitano, before Alvaro Morata s seventh of the season and a close-range finish from substitute Michy Batshuayi secured a memorable 2-1 triumph.
But Conte s focus was soon trained back upon his domestic schedule at the post-match news conference, as he noted the workload handed to his defending champions did not tally favourably with early-season leaders City, who beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 at home in their own European assignment on Tuesday.

Neymar made his 100th LaLiga appearance for Barcelona in Saturday s gripping 3-2 victory against Valencia at Mestalla.
The Brazil star, who made his debut in Spain s top flight against Levante in August 2013, has registered 59 goals and 30 assists in a remarkable first century of matches.
The 23-year-old s numbers surpass those of team-mate Lionel Messi in his own first 100 league games although both lag behind Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo while he is edging closer to becoming Barca s top scoring Brazilian of all time.
Here, with some help from Opta, we assess the amazing stats behind Neymar s latest milestone

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho suggested Frank Lampard was under pressure after Chelsea s big spending in the close season.
Mourinho s Spurs are top of the Premier League as they prepare for Sunday s trip to Stamford Bridge for a London derby.
After signing the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy, Chelsea are third in the table.
Those recruits reportedly cost Chelsea around £222million in a major investment for Lampard s second season at the helm.
Mourinho, who had two spells as Chelsea boss and coached Lampard, said the spending also brought pressure.
When you are favourites, you know why you are favourites, he told reporters.
And you have to accept that and you have to deal with that kin…
Pep Guardiola will take charge of his 700th game when Manchester City host Fulham on Saturday and he hopes to double that tally before he retires.
The Spaniard s glittering career in management has seen him ply his trade in three countries, winning top-flight titles in Spain, Germany and England.
His pursuit of a third Premier League crown continues with the visit of Fulham, which will also mark his 250th match at the City helm.
The hosts will be without Sergio Aguero (knee) against a team they have beaten nine times in a row by an aggregate score of 27-3.
Guardiola has enjoyed that kind of dominance over many opponents in a coaching career that began with Barcelona B in 2007, and he hopes there is still a long way to go yet.
Coz we ve got GUARD…
Barcelona star Andres Iniesta heaped praise on the Catalan outfit after qualifying for a fifth consecutive Champions League semi-final.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring from the spot only to see Antonio Nocerino silence Camp Nou when he slotted home just after the half-hour mark.
However, Messi notched his second penalty of the evening on 41 minutes before Iniesta, who has never lost a professional game in which he has scored, slotted home in the second half to seal a 3-1 victory and secure Barca s progress to the last four for the fifth year in a row.
We had to work hard but we are happy to be in another semi-final, the midfielder told TVE.
Being in a fifth consecutive semi-final means that things are going very well for us and that the team still has…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp remains positive about their place in the title race and still believes if they win all remaining six matches they will be Premier League champions again.
A difficult run of results – starting with a draw at Manchester United and followed by home defeats to Atalanta and Crystal Palace – ended with a 1-0 Europa League victory in Bergamo but that could not prevent their exit from the Europa League 3-1 on aggregate at the quarter-final stage.
A first clean sheet in 10 matches was a boost to confidence, especially as they continue to struggle to find their best form at the other end of the pitch, and Klopp thinks the two-point gap to leaders Manchester City can be overhauled with a perfect run in.
“It’s not obviously in our hand…
Prediction: Egypt win
Best Odds:
Bookmaker:
The Africa Cup of Nations is starting to get down to the business end of things, as we gear up for the knockout stages of the tournament. There are still 16 teams remaining that will all believe, to different extents, that they ve got a chance of becoming the Champions of Africa. Fans of the tournament will be well aware of the fact that it can be incredibly unpredictable, but in the game we re looking at today between Egypt and South Africa, the general consensus is that it s going to be fairly one-sided.
Egypt
While they rarely tend to live up to the hype on the world stage, Egypt always know how to turn it on at the Africa Cup of Nations. They ve got a deep history in this tournament, and now that they re…
Referee Mike Dean guessed the decision to send off Sofiane Feghouli against Manchester United, according to former official Mark Halsey.
Feghouli was given a straight red card after just 15 minutes at the London Stadium after he arrived later than Phil Jones in a crunching 50-50 challenge.
Dean opted to dismiss the Algeria international and United went on to beat West Ham 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic accused Jones of making a meal of the incident in order to influence the decision, and Halsey who retired in 2013 after 14 years of officiating in the top flight in England believes Dean was affected by the centre-back s reaction and his failure to send off Everton s Ross Barkley for a crude challeng…
