While Obsidian has previously stated that it was “ very doubtful” that it would be making another Fallout title, the possibility of a Fallout: New Vegas sequel was renewed when Microsoft purchased ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks. The game, which has garnered a cult following, is widely regarded by both fans and critics as one of the best in the Fallout franchise, and many pleas have been made to both Obsidian and Bethesda for a sequel. Released in 2010, Obsidian Entertainment’s entry in Bethesda’s Fallout franchise remains a fan favorite due to its captivating narrative and impactful player choices.
The meme format features Futurama’s Captain Zapp Brannigan, a goofy military commander who forgoes advice to take a simple path to their destination in favor of taking a more dangerous route. Using a Futurama meme, a Fallout: New Vegas fan has hilariously mocked the route that players are recommended to take to explore the map.
