A gamer discovers a unique-looking Fallout-themed bus stop designed around Amazon's recently releasedlive-action adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. The use of impressive marketing strategies like these goes to show just how much money Amazon pumped into promoting the Fallout TV show worldwide.
For decades, video game adaptations were often shunned by both film critics and gaming fanbases, due to the majority of them being rather low-quality. Lately, however, the tide has been turning in favor of fans, as a number of recent shows have garnered widespread critical acclaim for faithfully translating the worlds of beloved video game franchises to the silver screen. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, HBO's The Last of Us, and Netflix'sArcane are perhaps the most notable examples of this, but Amazon's newly-released Fallout TV show is also climbing up the ranks of popularity and making a name for itself as one of the best video game adaptations ever made. In fact, a recent discovery that one fan of the series made proves just how much this particular show has managed to break into the mainstream.
A Redditor named Acceptable-Mammoth84 posted on the r/Fallout subreddit an image they took of a bus stop they found that was covered from top to bottom in advertising for the Fallout TV show. This wasn't just any normal advertisement, however, as the bus stop was also redesigned to look like the gear-shaped doors from one of Vault-Tec's infamous vaults. There was even asmall Fallout-inspired propaganda poster added to one side of the bus stop, in addition to what appeared to be a vault control panel on the other end. To top it all off, however, a large Vault 33 emblem was painted onto the sidewalk in front of the bus stop as well.
This sort of lavish, inventive advertising on bus stops is very rarely seen on a regular basis, let alone for something like a video game adaptation. And yet, it seems Redditors have discovered similar iterations of this marketing for the Fallout TV series around the world. Reddit user DragonHeart_2345, for instance, found a slightly different version of this Fallout-themed bus stop in Melbourne, Australia. Meanwhile, fellow Redditor WashingtonsTrousers shared a photo of an exact replica of the one Acceptable-Mammoth84 found in Los Angeles, California. This sort of extensive advertising for Amazon's sci-fi TV series likely exposed the Fallout brand to a whole new audience who otherwise may not have heard of or even touched the games the show is based on.

The nonsense was all there on the page — Adam Pally in an echidna costume, Julian Barratt rocking out in an owl headdress, an enormous puppet hell demon, a black-box-theater-worthy interpretation of a Sonic stage — but when director Jorma Taccone began orchestrating the hallucinatory musical tucked inside Knuckles’ fourth episode, his impulse was to pile on even more.
After nearly 300 hours in-game, one player has found a point of interest (POI) they've never seen before. massive scale was something that fans were looking forward to, but also equally nervous about. Many were worried that the scale would make the game feel empty, while others felt as though Bethesda should have focused more on the story and NPCs instead of the clearly flawed open-world itself. There is so much to do that discovering every POI would be nearly impossible, butthe chance of discovering this POI is even rarer than others.
