LOL Wargames Easter Egg

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:41 am

Down in Vault 3 there is a computer that simply says 'Hello Michael'. It made me laught. There's an old eighties flick called 'Wargames' where a kid name Michael accidently hacked into a goverment computer thinking it was just a server with games on it and insisted on playing 'Global Thermo-Nuclear War'. In the movie Michael narrowly averred the computer from setting off all the missles. LOL I guess in the Fallout universe it didn't work.

You're a genius to have figured that easter egg out.
I would've been like "Who the hell is Michael?" and then never bothered with it again.

Or maybe you're just thinking too far into it.

I bet you its a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPIdI2CeiZw#t=00m18s instead. :deal:
( If it was War Games, it would probably have said, "Shall we play a game?" )

*eh... In context though you might be right. (having not been to vault 3, I don't know the context).

David Lightman? That's Broderick's name in War games, not Michael.

Watch the movie again. The computer isn't talking to Brodike.

Then why did TC say Michael hacked into the computer, it was David.

OK this is now bothering me, I have the damn movie, but remember no Michael? I remember Joshua and Dr. Falkan or whatever his name was. Hell I remember Michael Madsen being in it, but no "Hello Michael"... someone want to refresh my memory?
