The Inauguration Via Fallout3

Photobucket

In case anyone isn't quite up to date on current events; Today is inauguration day, and we've welcomed our 44th President, Barrack Obama into office. The video gaming world has seen a bit of Barrack Obamas image in video games, showing general support from the gaming demographic. This newest show of support is a bit off kilter, in the sense that Stephen Totilo of MTV Multiplayer shows us the Inauguration site as it's shown in Fallout 3.

This may sound a bit anti-presidential, but the concept of taking the real life historic event, and showing us how it looks in Fallout 3's version of Washington DC, is pretty clever in my opinion. There is a the whole virtual tour of the inauguration site, that starts like this:

"So, through the magic of last year’s multi-million-selling “Fallout 3” we can see Barack Obama’s Inauguration-day perspective. But we’ve got the added (subtracted?) touch of nuclear devastation.

Try not to let it bother you."


Stephen Totilo paints a fun picture with words to help you imagine just how accurate these images are. Take a look at the virtual tour, and happy Inauguration day! (Here's to the hope this won't really happen!)
