...when you start collecting all the bottle caps from your beers.
...when you seriously consider using Veronica and Corporal Betsy as examples of gays in the military in your Don't Ask Don't Tell paper.
...when you state your religion as Followers of the Apocalypse.
...all your doodles in your boring classes are vault dwellers.

I thought vicodin WAS the party version of vicodin. :wacko:

When you are wathcing The Guild and think "yay, Veronica finally got a dress".

When you refuse to be treated by Doc Mitchell because "he's a frakkin cylon".

When you sign on to the Mythbuster forum, and ask them to build a Rock-It Launcher in an upcomming episode.

I did this today. :tops:

-When you try to use VATS when a bully picks on you.
-You read magazines to gain knowledge for a short period of time.
-You take a sip out of your trusty vault canteen.

...You look at your watch then ram a needle into your bruised arm.

Heh, I DO know a guy who has a Fallout theme on his phone (forget if it's Android-based of iBrick)... Does the whole Pip-boy setup. Looks outstanding.

I could easily settle for a zombie apocalypse or nuclear fallout... it's just the idea of wiping the slate clean and just being free that's so appealing.

Yeah, about "wiping the slate clean and just being free". Anarchy seems cool in theory, but in reality it's; [censored] gangs, starving children, dead loved ones, etc. Think about it, most of us can't stand it if we don't have any hot water for a few days. And besides in real life nuclear armagedon isn't so neat and tidy as in the Fallout Universe. We have no Rad-X or Radaway, and radiation dosn't cause neat mutations it causes a brutally painful death or at best cancer. As for zombies, watch AMC's The Walking Dead, it pretty much shows how much a zombie apocalypse would svck. Don't get me wrong, in video games, movies, etc., I love a good apocalypse story. However, I don't think I would ever use the word "appealing".

Oh god. This has happend more than a few times. Not to mention that we already had a dog named Rex...

I've "lived" in Afghanistan for a year without always having hot water (or any water for that matter), not having hot food, not having a roof over my head, constantly having to be alert for enemies, etc etc... I think I could live without those "essentials" because truth be told, they're not as essential as everyone seems to think while they're sitting on their cushy couches watching TV.

Nuclear apocalypse would definitely svck for sure, really not many pros about that. :lmao:

Zombie apocalypse I've wanted for a long time, I welcome it... hope for it even. As long as whatever is zombifying people isn't some kind of airborne virus and much like the movies is only transmitted intravenously, we're good to go. Definitely be wiping the slate clean then, survival of the fittest to the extreme of potential extinction... I like the odds personally. :rock:

You look at your wife and say: "Sheesh, you're one *&^%^&&* ugly son of a [censored]"....followed by scrabbling around wondering why you don't have a doctor's bag.....

You know you play to much Fallout when...

:rofl: "I love you Mom" is the part that got me. :rofl:

Real life story from tonight when I was down feeding the horses. I walked into the feed room and saw a young possum running behind the barrels, and I chased him out harmlessly enough.

I get home to yell at the kids for leaving the feed room door open again, and end-up spouting, "Dammit kids there was a Molerat in feed room again, close the [censored] door next time!!".

"A what dad?!"

"A mole.. oh, hahaha. I meant a possum - close the door next time!"

:fallout:

When eating Salisbury steaks two hundred years past their expiration date sounds reasonable...

When your excited to walk to work because you feel like the lone wonderer/courier .
