Pretty much all the other kids on the block were playing Nintendo. I was the f'd up one robbing graves, killing children, becoming a porn star, running slaves, prize fighting champion, etc.
Oh Fallout, the times we've had. I'm glad more people appreciate you now, but I still don't like what has become of you.
