If you’ve learned a little bit about me, you know that I enjoy video games and stories about apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic scenarios where philosophical questions are explored regarding the breakdown of society. As such, I would like to share with you a little gem that one of my friends on Facebook shrared with me regarding theFallout series (including Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas) by Bethesda Softworks LLC.
Fallout: Nuka Break is an unofficial nonprofit fan film made by the Fallout fans, Wayside Creations, and they are working to raise funds to make it a full-length Web series. This film is artistically and beautifully rendered. Further, I would go so far as to say it is on-par with many large budget Hollywood movies. Wayside Creations’ attention to detail, such as their incorporation of an Eyebot and Bottlecap Mine, is phenominal in this short film and it is aesthetically paying homage to the Fallout series in many ways.

If you enjoyed Wayside Creations’ Fallout: Nuka Break fan film as much as we did, you may want to consider helping the studio expand the series. The team is seeking donations to help fund a full Nuka Break webseries…
So, if you’re like me, you just might enjoy this tribute to the Fallout series.
Do you think about these kinds of philosophical questions — those that question how the breakdown of society will play out?
Judging by the way people react when a train has to be off loaded or when there is a metro delay, I am worried if atomic war breaks out.
Me too, Kirk. Me too.
