Zenimax owns Bethesda, makers of so-called Fallout 3.

What's peerguardian and why would there be blocked attempts by zenimax? Is it an ad blocker?

It's known to block ads and information grabs, yus.

I didn't think we had any Bethesda ads though.

But the question remains, since there's no Zenimax ads here, why are they getting blocked?

Oh, they're here alright, they're just subliminal and you can't see them.

Zenimax used that technique on the content of fallout 3 too.
