Took the due diligence and did a dissection of the parts of the Beta site I noticed. Check it out, and would love to hear your comments or if I missed something or just got something wrong. Image

- the "Free Range Brahmin", a major source of sustenance in the wastes
- "Flotation Homes & Seaweed" guide
- VDSG, the "Vault Dweller Survival Guide"
- Subtitle of "How to Eat Rat" (2nd Edition) is "15 five-minute recipes and the juicy Rodent a la King"
- Record by Ma Rainey

Cool! Thanks!
Did you mention that the large field guide in the foreground looks to be an "Apocalypse Something Field Guide"? Can't figure out the something part though.
I also like the "Please Stand By" TV test screen, while we wait for FOO to be released. ;)

AHA! I was playing snooping around in the picture with the Dodge tool on Photoshop, brightening up the shadowy areas in the picture. You may not have noticed that there's a gun and a clip in that shadowy bit in the bottom corner, leaning against the Red fieldguide.

But that's not the most intriguing thing I found. Notice how there's a book leaning against the radio with the blue light? You can't see the bit at the top, so I brightened it up and got this.

I can't figure out what it says exactly, but it looks to be something along the lines of...MARAINEY? I'm not what that gold thing in the middle is, but.

EDIT: Holey moley. I just googled "Marainey" And I've found something about an early 20th century blues singer called "Ma Rainey" It's too much of a coincedence that there's that gold thing between the A and the R. It has to say "MA RAINEY"

I have no flipping idea what this means, but it's damned intriguing.

EDIT 2: My bad, what was I thinking? It's not a book, it's a record. So they've put a Ma Rainey Record in there, which obviously fits in with the recurring trait of featuring music from 1920-60 in the Fallout series. Possibly we could be getting one of her songs as a themesong for the game? I'm not sure.

Thoughts?

Ma Rainey I believe is the singer for the background music that's playing.

Fantastic work! I've been waiting for something like this ever since the Fallout Online site went live, took longer than I thought. :lol:

And yes, it is Ma Rainey, Singing in the Blues I believe.

Yeah I'm surprised not many sites up. Also hopefully good that I can draw in some traffic and some good staff and make this a great site for the great game. Image
