You're now able to evict "lazy layabouts" from your vault, and your Dwellers have some new pickup lines and conversations.

Hamill to Host Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel
Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, will be hosting a documentary that focuses on Star Wars' iconic weapon, the lightsaber.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Star Wars: Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel will be shown on ESPN on December 15.
"What people don’t realize is how much goes into what appears to be just minutes on the screen," said Hamill. "The elaborate choreography for the actual fight is done on several different sets over a period of weeks and then it is edited down to what you see on the screens, so I am happy people are able to see the amount of work that goes into it."
Will Smith’s Deadshot Might Join The Batman
Will Smith has signed on for multiple appearances as Deadshot, and there are rumors that one of them might be with Ben Affleck in the proposed solo film The Batman.
According to Latino Review and its sources, "Will Smith may join Ben Affleck in his solo Batman movie, which might not end up being so solo."
"Nothing's locked down completely, but most of the involved parties seem enthusiastic," says LR.
In the comic book universe, Batman and Deadshot teamed up earlier this year in the Arkham Knight comics.
Ben Affleck might be directing The Batman himself, as well as starring in it. In addition, it's rumored that the film might be based on "A Death in the Family" and "Under the Hood."
Oculus Sweetens Pre-Orders With Free Game
Pre-orders of Oculus Rift will include a copy of EVE Valkyrie, Oculus has announced. The game will premiere first on Oculus.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey said his company is "excited to partner with CCP to bring this experience to Rift owners everywhere." The bundle will release "Q1" of 2016.
Luckey believes EVE Valkyrie "perfectly captures the promise of immersive gaming," citing its combat and multi-player dogfights as draws and strengths on the Oculus platform.
Valkyrie is an off-shoot of the massively multi-player EVE Online, which is perhaps one of the most complex MMOs currently on the market. Valkyrie focuses on the space combat aspect of the MMO, distilling the experience down to something arguably more palatable to mainstream audiences.

TMNT 2: Bringing the Turtles Out of the Shadows
It’s a summer evening in New York City, and I’m heading downtown to New York Law School, a portion of which has been overtaken by Paramount Pictures for production on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Shooting on the sequel to the 2014 hit is well underway, with most of the original cast and behind-the-scenes talent returning to bring the Turtles to the forefront, as it were. Out of the shadows, in fact!
“I think in the first movie we weren’t sure what the Turtles were going to be,” says executive producer and screenwriter André Nemec. “We looked at these beautiful maquettes that were built and early renderings and drawings … and it was hard to get a handle on what kind of story you could kind of tell with the Turtles. And part of the process in completing that first movie allowed us to figure out what the second movie itself wanted to be. And it made us realize that we actually could lean into telling a dynamic emotional story with the Turtles.”
