Happy birthday, Fallout!
It's Fallout's 25th anniversary this month! 25 years of Fallout!
3 other story games are celebrating their birthdays this month, too: Fallout 2 will turn 24, Fallout 3 will be 14, and Fallout: New Vegas will be 12. (Fallout 4, baby of the family, has its 7th birthday in November.)
Have you been a fan for the whole 25 years? Many Fallout fans are years away from their own 25th birthdays :) I expect many people working on the next game will be younger than the series, too!
Tell us how you became a fan!
Some questions (totally optional):
- When did you first play a Fallout game? Which one was it?
- Were you hooked from the start, or did it grow on you?
- Do you remember how you heard about Fallout?
- Have you ever encouraged someone else to play any of these games? (And, successfully? :D)

When did you first play a Fallout game? Which one was it?
According to this post, Fallout 3 first came out fourteen years ago. That's when I first played one of these games!! It was Fallout 3. I have yet to play the first two games but I have a PC now so that's bound to change in the future.
Were you hooked from the start, or did it grow on you?
I was hooked from the start. I absolutely loved everything about Fallout 3. I'm big into creepy vibes in video games. It hasn't hit the same like that since Fallout 3 though.
Do you remember how you heard about Fallout?
Uh, no. I think at the time I was living with my significant other. He was the one that got excited about it. When he brought it home, I decided to pick it up and play it because it was just a new video game to play! And then I was hooked from there. ^^;
Have you ever encouraged someone else to play any of these games? (And, successfully? :D)
I think I did meet some people on the playstation network that I talked to that hadn't played the Fallout games. I don't know if I successfully sold them on the games but most gamers I talk to in person have already played one of the Fallout games. :) I tend to gush the most about Fallout New Vegas, ironically.

I totally recommend giving the classic games a try some time! I love FO1 and I'm not so keen on FO2, but a lot of people say it's the best game in the series. So, you have a good chance of loving at least one :)
I probably gush the most about FNV too, hehe :D

Oooh, I'll definitely give them both a shot! I'm sure I'll like at least one of them too! ^^;

FO1 is great, still one of my faves XD. FO2 is considerably longer - tons and tons of quests and ways to entirely screw up. like 'oh, you didn't grab that rando item back in that location from 7 quests ago? best run back to the location to get the thing so you can finish THIS quest'. =)
