Fallout Merchandise

Upon looking online for some Fallout merchandise, I've come to the conclusion that there isn't a lot to choose from. I'm not too sure why Bethesda wouldn't make more t-shirts or other trinkets with the games images... But here's what I found!

Here is a bobble head of Vault Boy seen in the series promoting "Vault-tec". You can actually collect similar bobble heads in the game. I believe this type of bobble head comes in the special edition of Fallout 3 with a tin lunch box. Found this on Ebay.

Here's a dvd showing the making of Fallout 3, someone is selling on Ebay

This is a tshirt which uses the character that is used throughout the series. He is also holding a well known product in the game called "nuka-cola". Found this on a sight called ecrater.

This is something I found off Ebay. This is a clock that is inspired by the Pipboy 2000 from Fallout 3. As cool as this is, I'm not too sure if I'd want to drop 99.88 on it...

Image that is on a shirt I found on Ebay

These shirts are from a site that has some "cheesey-er"Fallout inspired merchandise. But they did the best they could without directly infringing the trademark Fallout images.

Site where these shirts were found: Zazzle

I'll be sure to continue looking for interesting merchandise and post it here!!

Fallout 3

Here is the description of (the actually released) Fallout 3 from Wikipedia.

Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game released by Bethesda Game Studios, and is the third major game in the Fallout series. The game was released in North America on October 28, 2008, in Europe and Australia on October 30, 2008, in the United Kingdom and Ireland on October 31, 2008, and in Japan on December 4, 2008 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Fallout 3 takes place in the year 2277, 36 years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse that devastated the game's world in a future where World War III occurred in the second half of the 21st century. The game places the player in the role of an inhabitant of Vault 101, a survival shelter designed to protect a small number of humans from the nuclear fallout. When the player character's father disappears under mysterious circumstances, he or she is forced to escape from the Vault and journey into the ruins of Washington D.C. to track him down. Along the way the player is assisted by a number of human survivors and must battle myriad enemies that now inhabit the area now known as the "Capital Wasteland". The game has an attribute and combat system typical of an action strategy game but also incorporates elements of first-person shooter and survival horror games.

Following its release, Fallout 3 has received very positive responses from critics and a number of Game of the Year awards, praising in particular the game's open-ended gameplay and flexible character-leveling system. The NPD Group estimated that Fallout 3 sold over 610,000 units during its initial month of release in October 2008, performing better than Bethesda Softworks' previous game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which sold nearly 500,000 units in its first month. The game has also received post-launch support with Bethesda releasing five downloadable add-ons for the game.

Here are the platforms you can play Fallout 3 on:

Windows, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. (In an earlier video I posted actually criticizes the visual quality of the Playstation 3 version) I have personally played the Xbox 360 and was amazed by it.

Off topic, but interesting article about Video Games

Among other problems in the gaming industry, the biggest has to be the gamers themselves.

This article by UofUfan does a great job at explaining this very true concept

Van Buren (Fallout 3)

Here is the info for Van Buren (Fallout 3), A a cancelled game that was leaked onto the internet.

Van Buren was the codename given to Fallout 3, a game that was being developed by Black Isle Studiosbefore the parent company, Interplay Entertainment, laid off the PC development team on December 8, 2003, effectively cancelling the game. Prior to its cancellation, Van Buren was set to carry on the Fallout series as the sequel to Fallout 2. On May 3, 2007, the tech demo of the game was leaked onto the internet.^[1]

An official Fallout 3 was developed by Bethesda Softworks after Interplay sold them the single player rights to the franchise. It was released October 28, 2008.^[2]

Fallout 2

Here is the brief description of Fallout 2. Information provided by Wikipedia.

Fallout is a computer role-playing game produced by Tim Cain, developed by Black Isle Studios (though before the studio was named "Black Isle") and published by Interplay in 1997. The game has a post-apocalyptic setting in the mid-22nd century, though its story and artwork are heavily influenced by the post-World War II nuclear paranoia of the 1950s.

The game is sometimes considered to be an unofficial sequel to Wasteland,^[3] but it could not use that title as Electronic Arts held the rights to it; and, except for minor references, the games are set in separate universes. It was also intended to use Steve Jackson Games' GURPS system, but that deal fell through due to the excessive amounts of violence and gore included in the game,^[4] forcing Black Isle to change the already implemented GURPS system to the internally developed SPECIAL system.

Critically acclaimed, the game inspired a number of sequels and spin-off games, known collectively as theFallout series.

Basic Game Info

Here is some of the basic game info and a brief description of the series. Then the issue of spinoffs and the developers for each individual game (according to Wikipedia)

Fallout is a series of role-playing games (RPGs) published by Interplay and, later, Bethesda Softworks. Although set in and after the 22nd and 23rd century, its story and artwork are influenced by the post-warculture of 1950s America, and its combination of hope for the promises of technology and lurking fear of nuclear annihilation. The series is sometimes considered to be an unofficial sequel to Wasteland, but it could not use that title as Electronic Arts held the rights to it, and, except for minor references, the games are set in separate universes.

The first two titles in the series (Fallout and Fallout 2) were developed by Black Isle Studios, and had stronger roleplaying characteristics than the subsequent two spin-offs. Micro Forté and 14 Degrees East'sFallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel of 2001 was a tactical role-playing game. In 2004, Interplay, having closed Black Isle Studios,^[1] brought out an action game with RPG elements for PlayStation 2 and Xbox,Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. A third entry in the main series, Fallout 3, was released in 2008 by Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda now owns the rights to make all Fallout games,^[2][3] and has conditionally licensed the rights to make a massively multiplayer online role-playing game version of Fallout to Interplay. A new Falloutgame called Fallout: New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, which is made up of many former Black Isle employees.
