Fallout 3 fans in Capital Wasteland received their games, also pictures photo

Several people (including our very own Nick Chester) braved the cold, rain, and football-sized hail last evening to get copies of Fallout 3 from a Best Buy in Rockville, Maryland. Of course, it wasn’t just for the game – it was also to hang out with the folks from Bethesda Softworks, the developer of Fallout 3. Rockville is the hometown of Bethesda, and thus given the honors that you see in the pictures above.

As Nick mentioned previously, a good bit of swag was tossed around and people lined up from several states over to attend the event. In the end, it’s all about the game. And we hope that everyone present was able to get a copy.

The gallery is a nice compilation of shots taken by the folks of Bethesda. It features the first guy to get hold of the game at Best Buy, the infamous Airstream camper, and some shots of the swag signing in action. Wouldn’t it be nice if every release was like this?

I was there! It was fun - we didn't stick around to meet the devs though. There's only so much dork and neckbeard that we could tolerate.

I wish I was there. The midnight release I went to had about 20 of the nerdiest looking geeks (myself included) standing around in silence until midnight rolled around and we all went back to our hovels.

This is partly why I love Bethseda. Despite what anyone says about their flaws in their games, in the end they really appreciate their fans.

Now where the hell are those modding tools for the PC version >:-D
