Or at least have the foresight to find out what it says.

It's like those muppets you see with Chinese tattoos, and they don't understand why Chinese people always laugh at them.

I'd laugh at you if you'd written 'i am an utter muppet' on your body...

I thought when you have a lack of foresight in your job you get a huge government bailout?

E3 09 Details

Good thing E3 is becoming a bit bigger in 09, because from what I heard, E3 08 was a real downer and not a spectable as it was previous years, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you think of it.

Fallout 4 due by 2011?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

What we heard: It's been all of 10 years since Interplay and Black Isle Studio's Fallout 2 arrived to rapt critical reception for the PC. And if executive producer Todd Howard has his way, fans of the franchise shouldn't have to wait another decade after Fallout 3 for another postapocalyptic role-playing fix.

Speaking to Reuters, Howard addressed the franchise's long absence from the gaming scene, saying the latest installment has been too long in coming. "I think it's good for people to miss things," he said. "Ten years between Fallout is a bit long, but I think there's this nostalgia factor."

And then things get a little screwy. Seemingly unaware of the average gamers' excitability factor, Reuters then floated mention of "Fallout 4," and paraphrased the game's executive producer as saying, "he believes three years is a good time frame between games." Not unexpectedly, this one-two combo exploded with its own atomic ferocity across many a gaming Web site, with the common consensus being that Howard had confirmed Fallout 3's successor as being a mere three years off.

The official story: "He wasn't trying to say anything about how long it will be between the Fallout 3 and the next one," said a Bethesda Softworks representative. "Rather, it was a comment about the fact that 10 years was too long between the last Fallout games and Fallout 3. We aren't setting any kind of timeframe or timetable for the next Fallout. We haven't even released this one yet, though at least we're now very, very close."

Bogus or not bogus?: Bogus...that a date is officially confirmed. However, given the massive hype, decade-long anticipation, and amount of critical praise Fallout 3 has already received, a sequel looks likely. Keep in mind, though, there was a four-year gap between Elder Scrolls III and IV.

Well, it looks like Fallout 3 is going to be pretty awesome so I think it would be excellent for the series to keep on going
