I found a nice PDF of the promo Comic for New Vegas... I never got to check this out, cause I didn't buy the ridiculous Collectors Edition... But now here is your chance to read it for free online!
The comic was created by Dark Horse Comics and tells some of the history
of New Vegas and how it sprang up in the Mojave Desert and flourished
before you know… the shit hit the fan. And it’s free through the link below.
Yes its a bit late... Im sure MANY of you have read this before... However I had not, and felt like sharing it!
I watched a very great piece showing the history of
Fallout, from Wasteland, to the creation of Fallout 1 & 2,
to the failed Van Buren Project -- All the way leading to
Bethesda's Massive Fallout 3.
This is a bit of an old review/video, but I just recently
found it again, and thought it was well worth a share...
It is well donw, factual, poignant, and serves a great
point of interest to my self, and Im sure other fans
of the fallout name-sake.
Give the videos a watch, and use the links below
to check out this awesome two part series!
Part 1 :
Media Consumes Me’s History and Review of the Fallout series, from it’s
origins in the late 80’s to the popular Bethesda bonanza of today. This
is Part 1 of 2 in a trip through the post apocalyptic wastelands. I had
to suffer through a night of no sleep to complete this post, then go to
work for 12 hours, eating only chocolate chip cookies, so I hope you
enjoy!
Part 2 :
In Part 1, I talked about the origins of the Fallout series beginning
with the inventive Wasteland by Electronic Arts. I explored the heart
of the series in Interplay’s Fallout 1 and 2, and talked a little about
Fallout Tactics with it’s inclusion of real-time combat. I finished up
without comment on the immature joke riddled console game Fallout:
Brotherhood of Steel. Now I continue the journey of the franchise in
Media Consumes Me’s History and Review of the Fallout Series Part 2.
On NMA (No Mutants Allowed) I was told today is the 15th Anniversary of Fallout...
Here is what they had to say :
Fallout's birthday is a bit hard to peg. Wikipedia says 30 September but
as is so often the case with wiki, this is completely unfounded.
According to the original website, the "silver" date is 1 October, and
it was in stores in North America by 7 October, so take either one as
the anniversary date.
...what I’m discussing today is nothing short of pure, unadulterated (but hopefully still informed) speculation! The time-honored tradition of fans everywhere! Looking at something we enjoy far too much and saying, “What if this were to happen next?”
Talking in detail on locations ranging from New Orleans
(New New Orleans?) All the way to New Jersey (New New Jersey?)
even the grand old country of Texas... This is a great read, well written,
and smart (more smary, but you get the idea)
On New Jersey : Actually, if the plot centers on a G.E.C.K. gone wrong, where a “Garden
of Eden” in the Garden State mutates out of control? That’s not too bad;
it could even steal some of the thunder from The Last of Us. You also get literal Jersey Devils of course, and we get to see the cast of The Jersey Shore mutate further thanks to radiation . . .

Many times I have seen people that made their own Nuka-Cola bottles...
And I thought... "Why on Earth do I not have those littered around my apartment"
So I decided to take a few hours, and do it myself...
Here is the last example that inspired me:
After doing a quick google search I found that someone had already made
sheets of these labels for print. (see below for the link)
So I went down to Kinko's printed them out, and slapped some on a couple
of empty Mexican Coke bottle... The results were pretty great!
Next time I might give making my own label a try....
And maybe try roughing the glass up a bit with some sand paper or the like.
Either way, I look forward to doing this BEFORE I drink the damn things!
And for sure work on getting my hands on some caps!
