Pip Boy's Father

[Grand_Poohbah]

Today when I got home from school I decided to clean my computer up a bit by deleting the programs I don't use. When I went to my add/remove programs I realized that something was horribly wrong with my fallout 1 icon.

Images spoilered because they are huge!

I changed the view for the icons and it went back to normal.

Could this mysterious man be the pip boy's father?

DISCLAIMER: These photos are not shopped as I am horrible with photoshop.

Cool I guess, probably someone that worked on the game though.

 

[AntiAntagonist]

Kinda looks like this fellow (Tim Cain).

Don't know why it did that though.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

Those are the same Icons for my Fallouts.
They don't change to the Vault boy, though.

It does look like him. Even though he kinda made the game it's still weird that his face would show up.

That face also shows up if you press some special key-combination and click the "credits" button in the Fallout 1 Main Menu.

Hang on, that didn't just happen to me? I had a copy of Fallout 2 and when I installed it on my (Not Vista) computer it came up with that exact picture. Very strange, but funny.

 

[Ganado_Headshot]

I don't see the resemblance, and are wondering why you came to that conclusion.

Its Tim Cain, its an easter egg. Mine did the same thing nine years ago.

It's true.
It did it to mine back in the day and I spend hours trying to figure out who it was, eventually it turned up in a pc mag. I would find a link to the source but I have neither the time or energy.

Man, this looks like exactly the kind of thread where I'm supposed to say something witty but my mind's a dead blank.

*sighs*

I think the reaction you had was *gasp*.

 

[ioxles]

Yeah, that happens all the time with mine, I guess he wanted to be the face of fallout [/lame humor].

He saw what you did there.

*Checks this easter egg*
