412: Fallout 3's Cultural References: 1984
Fallout Lorecast - The World of Fallout Examined and ExplainedShow Notes
We're starting a new series, Fallout 3's Cultural References. We're investigating how Fallout references other media (movies, games, books, etc) and if the references we find online are actually in the games. This week, 1984. George Orwell's extremely accurate warning about how totalitarian governments abuse and influence their people to maintain control. That sounds very "Fallout" but are the references real?

Fallout has a lot of scary moments, but there's room for improvement. Our patrons brainstormed scary things that aren't yet in Fallout that would fit perfectly (and scare your vault-suit off!)
