“They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.”

From: Fallout: New Vegas

Genre: Video games

Who said it?: Fantastic

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the Bethesda action RPG, Fallout: New Vegas. The game follows the player-character known as The Courier who gets wrapped up in a war between multiple factions all trying to take control of New Vegas.

The quote comes a character known as Fantastic. A scientist working for the New California Republic, he was hired as the people in charge thought he was very knowledgeable with how nuclear power plants works and what theoretical physics is. However, when you do question his credentials, it turns out Fantastic may not be the most qualified man for the job.

Geek wisdom: People will lie to get whatever they want. Sometimes, it may hard to catch them in a lie because of how they portray themselves. So, you may have to listen closely to see if they’re misleading you.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
