I'm sure many of you are already aware of this, but we (Bethesda) have been putting up new Fallout-themed Penny Arcade comics on our site every Wednesday. The third one went up today.

Let me know what you think?

Ron says war never changes. Snake says it does. What gives?

    I checked with admin first to see if the thread was okay. I didn't want to spam you guys, and I wasn't sure if you guys all knew about them yet.

    So far I like the 2nd one best - not for the fresh comedy, but for the middle panel. Gabe has a gift for drawing wet, sad, or otherwise teary eyes. I don't know why I love it so much, but I honestly very nearly made this my Avatar:

    Adorable. Shoot the pony.

    And that was a Futurama reference, Cynic. Though the actual line is "If I don't survive, tell my wife hello." ...I think.

    I think I might want to hear more about vault 69...

    Although, I should inform you that if I now do not find

    "P1X US Government issue Puppet Ration crate"

    somewhere in fallout 3 I will be most disappointed.

    I think I might want to hear more about vault 69...

    There wasn't really any additional information released about it. Chris Avellone mentioned Vault 69 among several others in the first issue of the Fallout Bible, here's an excerpt:
    Basically, the Vaults were never intended to save the population of the United States. With a population of almost 400 million by 2077, the U.S. would need nearly 400,000 Vaults the size of Vault 13, and Vault-Tec was commissioned to build only 122 such Vaults. The real reason for these Vaults was to study pre-selected segments of the population to see how they react to the stresses of isolationism and how successfully they re-colonize after the Vault opens. Some of the experiments include:
    • Vault 8 -- A control Vault, intended to open and re-colonize the surface after 10 years. Vault City is the result. Unfortunately.
    • Vault 12 -- In order the study the effects of radiation on the selected population, the Vault Door was designed not to close. This is the Necropolis Vault... and the ghouls were the result.
    • Vault 13 -- Intended to stay closed for 200 years as a study of prolonged isolation, the broken water chip forced the Overseer to improvise and use the Vault Dweller as a pawn. Later study of the Vault 13 records by the Enclave led them to their current plan to end the war.
    • Vault 15 -- Intended to stay closed for 50 years and include people of radically diverse ideologies. Gathered from what you hear from Aradesh in Fallout 1, he has quite a bit of multi-cultural flavoring to his speech.
    • Vault 27 -- This Vault would be overcrowded deliberately. 2000 people would be assigned to enter, double the total sustainable amount. The location of this Vault is unknown.
    • Vault 29 -- No one in this Vault was over the age of 15 when they entered. Parents were redirected to other Vaults on purpose. Harold is believed to have come from this Vault.
    • Vault 34 -- The armory was overstocked with weapons and ammo and not provided with a lock.
    • Vault 36 -- The food extruders were designed to produce only a thin, watery gruel.
    • Vault 42 -- No light bulbs of more than 40 watts were provided.
    • Vault 53 -- Most of the equipment was designed to break down every few months. While repairable, the breakdowns were intended to stress the inhabitants unduly.
    • Vault 55 -- All entertainment tapes were removed.
    • Vault 56 -- All entertainment tapes were removed except those of one particularly bad comic actor. Sociologists predicted failure before Vault 55.
    • Vault 68 -- Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one woman.
    • Vault 69 -- Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one man.
    • Vault 70 -- All jumpsuit extruders fail after 6 months.
    • Vault 106 -- Psychoactive drugs were released into the air filtration system 10 days after the Door was sealed.

    Rumor has it there were 122 different vault experiments. For Fan Fiction purposes, a lot of these vault experiments have been left open for you to play around with.

    And that's pretty much the only mention of Vault 69 that's somewhat canon.
