While this weekend has already been jam packed with an awesome fan made movie based on a game, there's no reason we can't give another one some love as well. Above is Desert Story, a fan-made short film based on the Fallout universe. It's actually really well put together and reminds me a lot of The Book of Eli.
That's a good thing since The Book of Eli reminds me a lot of Mad Max and Mad Max is obviously based on Fallout 3. I kid, I kid. It does raise an interesting point that this could really just be any post-apocalyptic world and doesn't have to be Fallout related. However, it says Fallout in the title so now you get to see it. Enjoy!

It really makes you mad when you consider that there are quite a few game series out there that would be great as film - original script of course - and yet all we get is terrible game to film adaptations all the time.
Blonde daughter doesn't need to act well in those pants.
Seems like there are a good bits and bad bits to this. It was well shot, paced and set. It didn't reek of amateurism, except for the quasi Bale-on-batman voice acting. Also the make up (read: dirt) was just short of decent. It was also nice that it was not ringing bells for fan service (Advent Children, anyone?) and only made slight mention of the fallout universe.
It does share a lot of ground with The Book of Eli. Dust, taciturn characters and leaden pacing. Some guns.
Sadly, what it didn't do was make any sense. The guy wanted hump time from girls but not human girls? So corpses or ghouls? If so, his moral compass is having some violent swings. The randy human rights campaigner.
I would like to think that he was expecting them to be human, but not slaves in chains. Would be weird if they wanted him to hump a ghoul, dead body, or something else. Also, I'm surprised he didn't take that shotgun and whatever else was there before he went and freed the girls. That's just silly.

Was he after a little ghoul love?
Seriously though,always loot the dead before talking to someone else.
He's got the goggles, the shotgun, and the hammed up accent.
needs a bit more dialogue though
Exactly!
