“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”

From: Fallout: New Vegas

Genre: Video games

Who said it?: Joshua Graham

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.

Specifically, the quote comes from the Honest Hearts DLC and comes from Joshua Graham, a man supposedly executed by Caesar’s Legion for failing to take Hoover Dam. You can talk to him and ask how he managed to survive being burned alive. He replies with the quote.

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!
