Fallout: New Vegas is believed to be allegory for the stock market, because of the flag's of the two main factions. The two headed bear is the mascot for the New California Republic, while Taurus (the bull) is the mascot for Caesar's Legion. In stock brokering, these two animals are representative for the decreasing and increasing values of the stock market, respectively. Also, The two factions are at war with each other, alluding to the differences to each other on Wall St. Finally, as the stock market has crashed in real life, the game's world has also gone into a state of Bedlam. Food for thought. Add any more similarities between the game and this subject, or the game and any subject of choice.

First!!!!

lol

Are you per chance wearing a tin foil hat?

Any similarities to real events, people, places or organizations are purely coincidental and not to be construed as some commentary on the real world.

umm.. dude i'd have to be on peyote to believe this, a bit conspiracy theorist running through ya, eh? While I don't believe it, I DO HOWEVER applaud you for thinking of that, it's actually quite brilliant.

A good theory, but i prefer to think of fallout as a representation of..................Fallout...

Nope.
NCR's flag was designed way before New Vegas, Van Buren and CL.


... Don't spam...

I know it sounds crazy, but I just like looking for patterns and similarities in life and art. I'm sure I'm not the only crazy one like that ... right?

Because Wall Street wasn't around then was it?

Shhhh... you have to wear it, or they can read your brain waves. :whisper:

You must be that one guy who believes the Government is sending you messages in your alphabet soup every night. (Because they actually are :whisper: )

Edit: Mordria- Pfffft, I have an entire Recon Armor suit made of Tinfoil. Can't read my brain, nuh uh, no sirrie. :laugh:

Hey, why do you have to ruin my theory with your "facts"?

Because I am a goldfish.
And you humans are responsible for so many of my kind being stuck in glass bowls...

While the Fallout universe does have a lot of political messages, I dont think the game in itself represents anything other than, well, Fallout.

What?

And......*Cue the dramatic music that raises at the twist to make more emotional statements* BEING FED TO CATS. *Insert Jury gasps and shocks of horror*

so i did a search on stock market and thought about other things in the game. Lucky 38 came to mind and in 1938 the second worst stock market crash ended. Maybe some thing there?

Seriously though there is no correlation between the two. lol

Thank you. This is true; most of my ideas are brilliant.

Your on to something there, havivi. You know what also happened in 1938? Hitler was preparing his troops to invade Europe for the year after, is what.
Also, 3 + 8 = 11. 1 + 1 = 2. 2 sounds like Tuesday. The game comes out, in the US, on Tuesday October 19th. Coincidence? I think not!

Dear god. This thread is full of idiotic rambling :facepalm:

Now your starting to get into the realm of that jim carry movie that everything added up to 21 or something like that. Better hope you bought the good tin foil and not the cheap off brand stuff. lol

God Save Fallout!

maybe if threads like this keep popping up they will release it early so we all don't go crazy waiting.

But on a more serious note, has any one else found any similarities or pop culture references in just the preliminary info we have received so far?

Oh man, they got around that AGES ago, didn't you get the memo? oh...oh dear...



Coincidences happen and if you're looking for them they aren't that rare.
As for pop references, none spring to mind but I'm sure there are a few among the pre released info.
