Shidentora Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The very first time I saw a nuclear cataclism on TV was a long time ago, when I was just a kid. The Day After. My dad let me watch that, and said - after the movie - that he was looking closely at me."Your jaw was agape, and in your eyes, son, I saw horror, but that's normal..." he said. "There was something else, also. But that's for you to realise."He never told me what it was, and we never even spoke about that.Later, after I saw mad Max and other movies like it, played all Fallouts there are, in time, I felt somehow close to the Post Nuclear. Man, this gives me creeps and goosebumps.Every time I play a FO game - as if I get there.When I watch the post nuclear theme works at Deviantart.com, I get Deja Vu.Same when I watch movies of the kind, etc. Sweet Jesus!

Keanumoreira Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I sometimes feel like it's going to happen sometime in our future, while near or far. Will an atomic bomb fall again? Most likely. "War never changes" after all; humanity is predictable in that regard, always quarreling over things that don't matter while ignoring the issues that do. Now, an all out nuclear war is unlikely, unless the events of Fallout (such as the Resource Wars of 2050 on) were to be duplicated or something happens that is just as bad, or even worse. You have to remember that although humanity is hopelessly flawed, we are making progress. Think about everything that has happened in the past five-hundred years since the Renaissance, the birth of the modern world. Religion, politics, racial, and even sexual controversies have come a long way to contribute to a better future. And that's the story of humanity: even out of our own stupidity, we persevere where chaos thrives. If it happens, then it happens. Will we be worse off? Certainly, yes, but only temporarily. We will rebuild. We will thrive again. And we will learn, as we always do (albeit too late), from the mistakes that we continue to make. And yes, sometimes I do get those goosebumps. It's kinda cool to imagine what it's like to live in that kind of a world because it's one that's difficult to compare with the few real-life examples that exist (excluding the sci-fi of course). Curiosity gets the best of me sometimes, lol. But DO I want to be a part of it? Not unless I've gone insane, no. :nuke: :laugh: :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
