This is the canon Fallout timeline. Thanks to the Fallout TV show and its tie-ins with the upcoming Fallout 5, we finally know how to play Fallout the right way. Well, kinda. [whimsical music] Hello, Internet. Welcome to Game Theory, the show that will look for canon law outside the video game. Although, unlike some other examples of this, I've gotta say the one we're talking about today has been a joy to watch. I'm, of course, talking about Fallout. It's been a while since we've covered this franchise over here on Game Theory, so for the uninitiated, Fallout is a post-apocalyptic RPG series set in an alternate timeline where a nuclear apocalypse occurs in 2077, known as the Great War. We have different missions in each game and play as a range of characters, but ultimately, the series is about seeing how humanity has survived the fallout of those nukes. But in 2024, it became a TV series. It actually became one of the most successful video game to television adaptations to date. It's also one of Amazon's top four returning series ever, only behind Rings of Power, which makes sense because duh, and Reacher? Wow, there's a whole world of television watchers I just have never met. Although, there is one television watcher I do know that may have a thing or two to say about all of this.
