Fallout 3 art designers terrorists?
 
Pretty funny article...

The SITE Intelligence Group said that the image, showing a ruined Capitol Building in Washington, was created by extremists as part of discussions about the feasibility of nuclear strikes against the US and Britain.

The images appeared in a video, called Nuclear Jihad: The Ultimate Terror, posted on two password-protected websites, al-Ekhlass and al-Hesbah, believed to be affiliated with al-Qa’eda.

SITE also released translated several chatroom threads from al-Ekhlass and al-Hesbah, discussing the possibility of nuclear attacks on the West.

However, it has transpired that far from being a detailed simulation created by terrorist masterminds, the apocalyptic vision is in fact lifted from the computer game Fallout 3, by US game designers Bethesda Softworks.

The game bills itself as “America’s first choice in post-nuclear simulation”, with players roaming a ruined landscape some time after a nuclear war in 2077.

Well, if you believe the record and movie industries, copyright infringement is worse than terrorism.

I've always maintained that the RIAA could find bin Ladin.

I would also like to point out that that image is bad ass. I can't wait for Fallout 3.

I want game now.

I can't wait for Fallout 3 either. I was a hardcore Fallout fanatic back in the late 90s. Fallout 2 came out 10 years ago.... time sure does fly by.

The Collector's Edition of Fallout 3 supposedly will come with a Vault Boy bobblehead.
