Nothin' to see here
Not sure if theres many gamers on this forum, but Im constantly surprised at just how many people play games, so I wouldnt be surprised if there were a few. Non gamers should find this interesting anyway.
Fallout 3 is basically a huge free-roaming role playing game set in a post-apocalyptic America.... specifically Washington DC. You walk around the wasteland and encounter shit and essentially waste huge chunks of your real life playing this game.
The developers periodically release new content for the game. The latest new stuff is called 'Mothership Zeta'. As you walk around the wasteland its possible to find a crashed UFO with a dead alien and a kick ass gun (best in the game). After buying the new content and walking back to this crashed UFO you get sucked up and abducted by aliens. The very first scene after the screen goes black is a 1st person view from a bed with alien that look like the Roswell Autopsy thing poking needles into you.
After that you basically make your way through the ship killing aliens etc. Pretty typical. But theres some cool stuff in the dialogue occasionally indicating that the developers either mined the alien/UFO/abduction subject for ideas - or are interested themselves. At one point you unfreeze a bunch of people from cryo-chambers... all from different time periods. One of these guys you unfreeze is freaking out and talking to him he has a bunch of ideas about what "the aliens want with us".
1 idea he comes up with: "...maybe theyre responsible for life on earth. Like, they seeded the planet a really long time ago. And theyve been coming back every once in a while to check on the progress, and now they've decided don't like how it turned out."
2nd idea he comes up with: "... isnt is obvious? They're probably using us as guinea pigs, examing out anatomy. Once they've figured out how to make exact copies of us, they'll send those copies back down to earth to take our places. When they've copied enough of us, theyll turn on us and take over the world!"
3rd idea he comes up with: "... maybe they're going to take over the whole planet. Maybe they've been coming here for hundreds... no, THOUSANDS of years, waiting to hit us when we're not expecting it. And then they wipe us out, and strip the planet of all it's resources."
4th idea dude comes up with: "... what if this all just some horrible misunderstanding. Like some radio waves beamed into space, all the way to their planet. Only they didn't hear the nightly news, or whatever, to them it sounded like a declaration of war. So they decided to attack us first. This whole thing could totally be our fault!"
Anyway. Maybe some people will get a kick out of that. I know I did... playing a game and seeing UFO type shit pop us is kind of cool. Theres lot of other stuff too... I just discovered a room full of humans on operating tables.
I guess this content could be kind of freaky for genuine abductees. (assuming such a person exists)
