Fallout 3 will be released October 28, 2008. Here's the press release from Bethesda:

August 20, 2008 (Rockville, MD) –
Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that its highly anticipated title, Fallout® 3, will be available on store shelves and online in North America on October 28, 2008 and in Europe on October 31, 2008. Developed at Bethesda Game Studios – creators of the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®Fallout 3 is slated for release on the Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.

“We are very excited to let gamers get their hands on Fallout 3, the latest chapter in this beloved and highly acclaimed franchise,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “To meet the huge demand for this title by our fans worldwide, we are planning one of the biggest launches of any game released this year.”

Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Set more than 200 years following a nuclear war, you can create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of Washington, D.C. however you choose. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.

Hailed as one of the most anticipated games for 2008, Fallout 3 has already won numerous awards including Best of Show from the official Game Critics Awards at E3 2008, a selection voted on by an independent group of journalists from 36 leading North American media outlets that cover the videogame industry.

Fallout® 3 has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

there was a film which I cant remember correctly but it had a scene when 2 guys are trying to cash a cheque of a guy who just died - they sit him in a chair, roll the chair to a bank and say to the teller that he's "tired" or something - do you guys remember what that film was? Anyhow, point is they (those fellows) remind me of Pete and Todd.

edit: it was actually a real story http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Sky-News-Archive/Article/20082851300101 but I'm pretty sure I've seen something like that in a film as well.

Yeah, clearly those rankings don't mean shit anymore. A game is in the year's top 100 even though it's not fucking out yet? Who the fuck do you think you're shitting?

It would be quite hilarious if they had done it 10 years ago. Duke Nukem Forever would have had a guaranteed spot in the yearly top new releases table for a good decade icon_drunk

I think the movie was "Weekend at Bernie's" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098627/ . I think someone actually made a photoshop of todd and pete on that poster too.


Of interesting note on how I found that film, I remember one of the guys in it but I didn't remember any movies specifically. I searched the Breakfast Club and found the red head and used that movie Pretty in Pink to find that guys name then I clicked his name to find that movie. I'm quite the internet detective.

I vaguely remember liking te movie as a kid.

I remembered about "Weekend at Bernie's" but I meant a flick with a scene with a dead guy literally being wheeled down a street in a chair, in some city setting. At Bernie's the action took place in some beach house IIRC?
But anyhow, yeah, the theme is quite similar.

There are 2 movies, so maybe you just didn't see the one he's referring to?
