CAN: Police responds to reports of a man with bombs - turns out to be a Fallout cosplayer
30 replies, posted
[QUOTE]It was almost game over in Grande Prairie this week for a cosplay enthusiast.
Dressed as a character from Fallout, a popular post-apocalyptic video game series, the man walked down a street wearing a gas mask, helmet, armour and bullet belt.
He carried a flag that said "New California Republic" — one of the factions from the games.
RCMP Cpl. Shawn Graham told CBC News that police received calls just before 5 p.m. Tuesday from citizens concerned the man was wearing what looked like a bomb on his back.
At least eight officers responded with their long guns drawn. Photos show them crouched behind vehicles and bushes.
What had looked like a bomb turned out to be several Pringles potato chips cans that were painted silver.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"We have to believe everything is real until proven otherwise," said Graham. "In the end you've got a good feeling after going, 'OK, there wasn't a bomb, there was no intent to do anything criminal, it's just someone with their costume.'"[/QUOTE]

Yeah, i know right? There's better armor he could have used.
Should have put more points into sneaking.
More like Charisma.
Scavenging in unknown territories is very dangerous

"Damn nerds lol"
This is why you go Mr. House.
I wounder what kind of response you would get if you dressed as Bill Williamson in full gear for a cosplay convention.

That's pretty funny, but everybody know's an independent Strip is the best option.

Fucking securitrons. Hopefully he can just find the container that his gear was taken to and pick the lock to recover it all without too much trouble.
I wonder if they gave/will give the outfit back.
He should have just fast traveled.

Can't fast travel when enemies are nearby.

I'm amazed at how I can still hear the voices of those lines in my head.
