With Bethesda’s long awaited game Fallout 4 now less than two weeks away from release, many students around campus are undergoing intense preparation. The open world apocalypse survival game has kept fans waiting for seven years, and many fans had feared they would never see Fallout 4. In an interview with local squirrel breeder and Fallout enthusiast Don Scherrer, he told of the measures he was taking to prepare himself to roam the virtual wasteland once more.

“I’ve been stockpiling canned goods and water for almost a year now,” said Scherrer. “When the game comes out I’ll be locking myself in my room for an extended time, much like thwwwwwe vault inhabitants within the game.  I have plenty of food, medicine, and first aid supplies to sustain myself for many months. I’ll be the overseer of my own little vault!”

This reporter also found Don’s vault to be packed with miscellaneous pieces of scrap metal and electrical wires, with a strange glowing fluid already beginning to drip from the ceiling. Similar setups have been found across campus, with one player even providing his own power generator as well as the means to bolt his door shut, cutting off all access to the outside world.

Landmines have been hidden around Scherrer’s door to ensure security and privacy and several kegs of Mountain Dew have been seen rolled into his room to provide energy and hydration. He tells us these kegs will be fed directly into his blood via IV. “I have every calorie on a budget. I know the exact minimum number of calories I need to consume to remain functional. I may also convert the area below my bed into a makeshift farm.”

The game is set to be released Tuesday, November 10th. It will most likely be a quiet day on campus.
