Fallout 2

their ad 's for many great titles and I believe the way they make ads are perfect and sell every time. But what games were successes and why start with the big start, Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was a game created for all platforms, PC, Xbox and PlayStation. The story takes place in a world where the style stuck in the 50’s era, but technology grows more advanced where you are a survivor of a massive world nuclear war and…

Typical, you wait years for a Fallout game and all of a sudden two of them comes along. Fallout: New Vegas is the latest installment of the franchise and follows hot on the heels of the 2008 love it or hate it Fallout 3. Much, much more than an expansion yet not really a sequel, New Vegas adds a few interesting elements to the series most notably some of the team behind the original games. This alone should be reason for longtime fans to rejoice. Black Isle Studios the original masterminds…

For paper number two I’ve decided to go with the reputation mechanic in Fallout New Vegas. So what is the reputation mechanic? The reputation in Fallout New Vegas is a measurement of how the different factions in the game world or Mojave Wasteland perceive your character. It is affected by positive and negative actions that affect the faction in question, such as completing quests or killing members, of that faction. Reputation is separated into two categories: Fame and Infamy. Fame is positive…

Although the destruction of the bomb is over the effects are still there in nuclear fallout. In the case of Castle Bravo over 90 million metric tons of coral reef and sea floor were ejected. A large amount of it was pulled up into the mushroom cloud becoming radioactive and creating fallout. Small amounts of radioactive dust or particles are harmless but many billions of these particles can cause radiation sickness and even death. As the mushroom cloud gets higher the winds get stronger and…

may include, but is not limited to: building fire, building shelters, navigating the wilderness safely as well as purifying water. The only requirement necessary to become a prepper is the desire to be prepared to be self-reliant in case of catastrophe. The survivalist subculture can be better analyzed using the symbolic interaction perspective. To quote Ferrante, “symbolic interactionists focus on social interaction, everyday encounters in which people communicate, interpret, and respond to…

The increase in cancer risks and cases can be attributed to the contamination of the food supply, water, and soil as a result of nuclear testing in the southwestern United States. Iron County, Nevada was one of the first exposed to radiation. Sheep and farmers were among those affected by nuclear testing and fallout. Eighteen to twenty thousand sheep were exposed to fallout from the 1953 test resulting in a one-million-dollar loss for farmers. Five years later citizens in Utah, Nevada, and…

radiation given out by all three tests equaled around 58,300 kilo curies of radioiodine, which is way above any allowable or survivable limit. One test had civilians and soldiers stand on ground zero below the airborne detonation to prove that the weapons could be used over cities without “ill” effects. The tests in that single operation alone exposed tens of thousands of civilian personnel and military service men to the full effects of radiation and causing thyroid cancer, total failure of the…

Before the nuclear fallout covered many miles, “immense areas contaminable by a single bomb undoubtedly make radioactive fallout potentially one of the most lethal effects of nuclear war,” this harmed more people and goods then everyone would think (Funk & Wagnalls Editorial Staff). With the nuclear fallout this meant that if you had goods they were worth more than actually paper money. Some came to the bank to retrieve their money they had been working for but no one knew in a short while that…

The Useless Tree The theme topic is judgment. Judgment is when you are making assumptions on a person or living being based on their looks or personality. For example, if a person looks, dresses ugly or looks poor in life they might actually be rich. But they just want to be an individual. People's judgment might hurt the person very deeply. while in life they won't show it to you. Judging people isn't good because that person might get hurt emotionally and maybe physically too. The useless…

A Radiological Dispersion Device, often referred to as an RDD or “dirty bomb”, contains conventional explosives (such as dynamite) and radioactive material. The intention is to spread radioactive material over a large area. RDDs are not a new idea. The military considered creating such devices in 1941. Dirty bombs are no longer considered practical for military applications and are now considered terrorist weapons (The Facts about “Dirty Bombs”, 2005, pg. 4). Radioactive materials are…
