Origins of The Magik Box


The Magik Box (www.themagikbox.com) is a dream in motion. Born in a basement in Scarborough, Ontario in the late summer of 2008, the business concept was based on affordable pricing for everyone in the fast track world of technology.


Like a phoenix from a flame, with no spending cash but plastic, we decided to plunge into the world of retail. Once decided on the products to be sold , we then had to contact distributors. But again , skepticism raised it’s ugly head. Which distributor would have enough faith to deal with a sole proprietor that decided to build a store from ground zero? At the time, every distributor we approached asked us for how much inventory we would carry and what our annual sales targets were..yeah right !! We simply replied 'NONE and had no idea as we just arrived on the scene. Based on tip from a friend, who used to manage an Apple Store in Toronto, we finally found one distributor who agreed to support The Magik Box on its way (They are with us to this day..Love them !!).


We moved to outsource our web-site creation overseas. It was a really slow process but a good web-site was created nonetheless. Family and friends decided to pitch in to populate the site and it went a bit smoother from then on.


There is more to narrate ,if you are interested (info@themagikbox.com)

Fallout New Vegas

October 2008..It has been almost 2 years since Fallout 3. Given a 9.2 rating by IGN.com, it still competed with the mega successful COD: Modern Warfare, released a month later. We think that this game will do equally well if not better that its predecessor Fallout 3.

First Shooter games have the best sales, motivating their manufacturers to out perform and out succeed the competition.

Back to Fallout New Vegas , the Release dates seem all over the place with October 19th, 2010 (US), October 22nd, 2010 (EU) & November 4th, 2010 (JP) ..Poor chaps!

Background: The game is set in a post-apocalyptic,retro-futuristic Las Vegas following the Great Wat (aka nuclear war) between the US, China and the other countries, a conventional that occurred on October 23, 2077 . It lasted less than 2-hours despite causing immense damage and destruction. Before the Great War were the Resource Wars, during which the United Nations disbanded, a plague rendered the United States paranoid, and good ol' Canada was annexed. The city of New Vegas itself, didn't get hit as much as other districts, and most buildings were left intact. The Hoover Dam now supplies all the free electricity and water to those who hold reign over it.

Story
Fallout: New Vegas
takes place in 2280, 3-years after the events of Fallout 3 and 39-years after Fallout 2. The New California Republic plays a major part in the story in a three way struggle between the Caesar's Legion slavers and the local New Vegas populace.

Moving on...('nough with the time line already !!)

The Courier, the player character, is meant to deliver a package to Primm (is one of the towns in the Mojave Wasteland). However, the Courier ends up shot and buried in a shallow grave, only to be rescued by Victor (a securitron) and taken back to Goodsprings. The Courier is then treated by a man named Dr. Mitchell.

Gameplay (courtesy Amazon.ca)
Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland.

Game Features

  • Feuding Factions, Colorful Characters and a Host of Hostiles! A war is brewing between rival factions that will change the lives of everyone in New Vegas.
