Fallout Shelter Ads Surface on Tinder
Bethesda wants you to "date a dweller," with the company marketing the mobile game on dating app Tinder.
Attract Mode spotted one of the promoted cards while using Tinder, and Bethesda has showcased a couple of the other ads on Twitter. There are reports that swiping right (otherwise meaning you're interested in the person) takes users to the download page for Fallout Shelter.
Just last week, Bethesda brought Fallout Shelter to Android devices, opening up the mobile game's reach to millions of more users. However, the management sim was apparently already a huge success, with SuperData stating that Fallout Shelter raked in $5.1 million in two weeks on the App Store.

Wrestling Wrap Up: Undertaker Low Blows Lesnar Again
So. No massive wrestling controversies this week. No tragic deaths. No racist rants. Everything was pretty dang hunky dory. We're a week out from the first four-hour SummerSlam in existence and things are running semi-smoothly.
Jon Stewart's even re-entering the WWE fray to act as the "host" for the event. I mentioned this back when he started up that mini-feud with Rollins while on his way out of The Daily Show. Once Stewart announced his retirement from that desk, it was almost as if he went "ah, f*** it" when it came to hiding his love of wrestling. Because, yes, despite the fact that WWE is a global sensation that reaches a ton of countries and often now gets covered by mainstream outlets for its outside-of-the-ring community work, there will forever be a stigma attached to wrestling. And to wrestling fans. It's just he way the Oreo dunks.
