The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London.

It took over 400 hours playing in Fallout 4’s post-nuclear Commonwealth, where thirst is a survival mechanic, that Caleb finally made an important connection between hydration and health. As Caleb writes: “My head is video game shaped, and so rejects many of the lessons that normal shaped heads embrace…In real life, the space between a day with only a glass or two of water and a day spent passing a ...
