What I would give to have a brain gifted enough to handle stuff like math and software coding (and I’ve tried folks, believe you me). ‘Cuz then I could maybe work for a company like Bethesda Game Studios, who not only are very talented at making video games like Fallout 3, but also have a twisted sense of humor.
So I’ve been working my Fallout 3 character through the Capital Wasteland, 200 years after the nuclear exchange between the United States and China. Just levellin’ him up more or less. Well tonight I wound up in the ruins of Arlington National Cemetery…
Out of curiosity I went looking for Arlington House, which was the pre-Civil War home of Robert E. Lee and his family. It wasn’t hard to spot and I gotta give serious props to the Bethesda staff for including such a nice historical location…
Guess what? You can go inside of Arlington House in Fallout 3! There’s even a queen-sized bed (presumably in the Lees’ private chambers) that you can sleep in and recover from in-game injuries.
But look at what’s down in the BASEMENT…
A shrine to Abraham Lincoln?!? What the heck?!
Okay, that is so way wrong. But awfully hilarious just the same 🙂
Frakking hell Chris.
You wanna work for a videogame company? Work for a one that actually has craft.
Work for Obsidian Entertainment. The Sith Lords were the best thing to come out of Star Wars since The Empire Strikes Back, and Neverwinter Nights 2 – Mask of the Betrayer is the spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the finest videogame narratives of all time!
“A shrine to Abraham Lincoln?!?”
Could have been planted there by Union soldiers.
