The term "Fallout Drama" refers to the angry message board flame wars pertaining to the direction, legacy, or style of the video game series, Fallout. The strife has been ravaging internet forums everywhere ever since Bethesda Softworks purchased the franchise after Black Isle Studios' demise.
The factions of Fallout Drama are either:
I. Fans of the first two installments in the series
II. Fans of the third installment
III. Fans of the series as a whole
IV. Fans of the Brotherhood of Steel spin-off (God forbid...)
The most prominent factions in the flame war are the first two.
Rabid fans of the original series are a jolly bunch of good ol' boy elitists who most likely spent most of their life hugging a Commodore 64 and slashing their palms in front of an altar of Tim Cain. You can identify a member of the first faction with several of the following traits:
1. He/she is a rabid fan of Black Isle and thinks Bethesda pissed on the series.
2. Is a hairy, bald, dad who is never seen without a stetson cowboy hat and a "Bomb Japan Again" T-Shirt in public.
3. Thinks any game after 1999 is played by frat boys and dirty peasants.
4. Is a die hard PC gamer who blame console gamers for Fallout 3's success, even though the game sold better on the PC.
5. Scary as it sounds, probably argues with people outside of the internet on this subject.
6. Spends a lot of time on the No Mutants Allowed and RPG Codex forums with his other elitist butt head cohorts.
7. Has most likely never kissed a girl.
The second faction isn't any better. In fact, it's worse in a way. While fans of the original series are balding republicans, fans of Fallout 3 are mostly comprised of Generation Y ADHD ridden pre-teens who can't spell or form coherent sentences. A Fallout 3 fanboy can be identified with these traits:
1. A rabid fan of the third installment of Fallout who has never touched a game before Halo: Combat Evolved was released.
2. Steadfast declaration that isometric games are dead, completely ignoring that Diablo III, StarCraft II, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, and Halo Wars actually exist.
3. Abusing the English language on message boards with their limited knowledge of junior high vocabulary and grammar.
4. Resorting to Ad Hominem and Non-sequitur attacks during an argument, once again with their limited knowledge of logical fallacies.
5. Using Fallout 3's reviews as defense, unaware that the majority of gaming journalists are paid under the table by companies.
6. Is too thick in the head to comprehend RPGs with hard numbers and calculated combat.
7. Also has most likely never kissed a girl.
Then there are those of us who don't give a hoot in hell and would rather chill by the fire with a nice cold glass of Guinness, that is if we aren't enjoying all of the games in the series.
And of course there are those who liked Brotherhood of Steel, but most of us would like to deny the existence of such a twisted human being.

"Dang, this Fallout Drama gives me such a headache, I'll never look at the games the same way again."
"I'd rather give a grizzly bear an indian burn than take part in Fallout Drama Again."

Get the Fallout Drama mug.A very in your face metal band from Massachussetts. I have seen them live many times and they are just amazing. They have some of the greatest solos and instrumentals I've heard in a long time. They have one flaw though. The vocalist(Brian Fair) sounds like he is trying way to hard and it does not sound natural. But besides that they kick fucking ass.
My favorite song by Shadows fall is "Stepping outside the Circle." It has one of the best solos I ever heard.

Falkor is the name of the large white dragon that Bastian and Atrayu ride in the 80's film The Neverending Story (which is part of the Holy 80's Trinity including The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, and The Dark Crystal). Has the ability to fly and bring luck to whomever travels with him.
In the Movie:
Falkor looks like a large white dog and is what most people remember about the film. "Yeah, that movie with that flying dog-thing!"
In the Book:
Falkor is described as lion-like, similar to an Asian dragon.

Get the falkor mug.The most dangerous creature known to man. It is a falcon that lives in the sea with a 8000 foot wing span, gills, and a fin. It can breath fire and shot laser out of its eyes. The Sea Falcons favorite food is kittens, lambs, babies, and humans. There is no such thing as night, just sea falcons flying. If anyone ever tells you that they have seen a sea falcon they are lying because they would be dead, the sea falcon sees you before you see it. The only way to kill a sea falcon is a gold bullet to a heart, but the catch is that they don't have hearts. The only other way to kill one is to make it listen to the entire Bleed America album by the band Jimmy Eat World, this has never been done.

Get the Sea Falcon mug.The act of blowing a great opportunity in tremendous fashion, like the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25-point second half lead against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51. The Falcons have other incidents of tragic missteps in their franchise history, unique to any other pro sports entity.
"That girl you was with looked like she wanted you. What happened?"
"Bruh, I told her that her roommate looked good and she kicked me out of her apartment."
"Oh shit! You were outchea Falconing."

Get the Falconing mug.Fall Out Boy is a Chicago based band, that actually had a life before MTV.
It has four members; Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley.
For those of you who think Fall Out Boy are emo posers; they aren't. They aren't even emo, and, like I said, had a life before MTV. It's MTV that made them so popular, along with some air headed teenage girls, who only listen to them because 'PeTe Iz SoOoOoO hAwT!!!!!11'.
Oh, and by the way, there is no 'Tom' in Fall Out Boy. On the From Under The Cork Tree album, some tracks were mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, which could be the cause of this misconception of the invisible 'Tom'.

Get the Fall Out Boy mug.1. A Chicago-based band whose sound is characterized by crunchy metallic riffs and by stop-start rhythms, as well as sometimes cheeky, sometimes emotional lyrics.
Could be (and often is) described as part of the modern pop-punk emo movement, though it has to be noted they are far more rock-oriented and electrically charged than self-admittedly emo bands such as Dashboard Confessional.
Started out fairly indie but has since gained a huge mainstream "pop" audience.
Biggest hits include: Sugar We're Going Down, Dance Dance
Similar bands include: Funeral For A Friend, Panic! at the Disco
2. In the popular TV show The Simpsons, Fallout Boy is superhero Radioactive Man's sidekick.
