Woo, I can buy more tangentially related mass-produced crap to indicate my love of dem vidya gamez. Nothing more thrilling than a glass bottle and presumably a cheapass LED. Hours of fun. DLC is the worst thing imaginable, but a tie in sharing a name with something from a videogame? Oh sign me the fuck up.

Oh wait, I can't, because they're not selling it here.

And nothing of value was lost.
I know right? if I wanted to vicariously pretend I'm in the Fallout universe I'll just buy some coke and stick my own labels on, at least the bottle will look acurite

which is something I'm totally NOT going to do

.....[sub/]I'll buy all the Fallout merch I can't heeeeelp iiiit[/sub]
Coke? Why not go with Coke's edgier cousin, Mother, so you can really get the Fallout experience by endangering your health to quench your thirst?

Making your own would be kind of cool, and making it glow's a pretty simple circuit, LED, battery, resistor to get the current right, a switch if you're feeling fancy. And you could probably make a better one, since they've hid the circuit in the base, and I've seen homemade ones that don't do that. Simplest thing to do would probably be to stick the LED on the base, the refraction and liquid colour would probably hide it well, and run the leads out of site.

I just really don't get it any more. I've bought a collector's edition or two, most of the things aren't worth it, but this is even sillier, it's just a rebranded soda. It's like collecting the "THE WOLVERINE" tie in V cans or something.

I read forums of people chucking tantrums about any and all DLC etc, and see videos of the same by our cringeworthy "Gaming personalities", and then people will cue up to spend the same amount of money on something that doesn't even contribute anything to a game apart from tooth decay. I know it's not everyone feeling the same, but it just seems so silly, and it makes Bethesda and co. look just cynical and crass.

*looks at red rocket watch that just arrived today*.....uuuuhhhh

you've either got to have some very strong emotional attachment or a certain sense of rarity (which doesn't happen often) I've always liked the aesthetics of Fallout so...yeah although that's the exception these days
