It's such a terrible waste of life and property and yet there's always something I've found fascinating about the geometry of destruction. Probably explains why I'm 200 hours into Fallout 4, I find the urban environments in Fallout 4 to be much better than Fallout 3.

Only 200 hours?

200 hours is roughly 2-3 hours a day, every day, since it was released...

... and yes. I figured that out a few days ago because I met someone whose Steam lists them at 734 hours. Personally I think they just find somewhere safe and leave it on while they go to work and stuff, but daymn.

I know, it's embarrassing, my father has almost twice the time put into it.

I was going to ask if that was ironic. It seems to be. Like there's more buried dead people around the cemetery than in it.

(edit) I just realized how cold that sounds, but there's a point where it's too much and your brain switches over to objective views and statistics...

CrushBugsaid:

At least they didn't bomb the cemetery.

I was seeing all that destruction and was very surprised to see that the cemetery at the beginning of the video seemed to be untouched. it just looked strange to me, considering all the destruction around it.
