The Gauss rifle is badass. So is Robert Mitchum, the man in my avatar. (Truth be told, This Machine has since become my favorite gun in the games)
I first got into Fallout when I saw a friend playing Fallout 3 at his house, and I was hooked. I've always been intrigued with the late-40s to early-60s "Atomic Age" and the culture of that era, so I fell in love rather quickly. Afterwards, I purchased the original Fallout, as well as Fallout: New Vegas, and I anxiously anticipate the next installment in the series.
I'm a college student living in the Midwest Commonwealth.
I'm actually not that big into video games, either. Apart from the Fallout games, I pretty much just play around on the older game systems I've acquired through the years (Nintendo 64, SNES, Sega Genesis, etc.)
I'm also a huge fan of 1960s rock n' roll, The Beatles being my all-time favorite band.
