Fallout 3 Ads urge DC residents to consider vault life

Linkin Park Fan | October 07, 2008 | Pictures | PC Playstation 3

Some clever ads for fallout 3 were placed all over the DC metro-train station. Fallout 3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic DC and people live underground in vaults. So the DC train station was a perfect place to place ads for Fallout 3.

In case you don’t know, that image above is what the inside of the DC metro system (subway in New York, the T in Boston, the underground in London) looks like. Also, in case you didn’t know, Fallout 3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC in which much of the population lives in underground vaults. Now that you know those two facts you might start thinking how much the DC metro system looks like a futuristic underground vault. Turns out you wouldn’t be the only ones.

  Damnit - I was down in DC last year for spring break- I would definitely have swiped one of these....
  TBH- MusiKon, it looks like it could be any of them that aren't on the outskirts (Reagan, Arlington, or any of the ones over by Alexandria)
  
  Chances are the ad campaign isn't limited to one station though - so check out whatever ones are closest to you.

The station feels nothing like a vault. Maybe it would without all of the people and shopping bags though.
