Hey, The Mainstream Media, you should read G4's website!
Yesterday, we reported on the above image, concept art from Fallout 3, and the fact that US-based terrorist watch group SITE said it's a "computer generated image, showing how Washington D.C. would look after a nuclear attack... posted on a radical chat site."
Today, the story was picked up by This is London, and currently resides on the front page of TheDrudgeReport.
This is London says "The computer-generated image below was posted on an Islamic extremists' website yesterday."
Way to check your facts, fellas!
Bethesda's Fallout 3, billed as “America’s first choice in post-nuclear simulation," comes out this fall for the PS3, 360 and PC. We wonder if Bethesda is secretly very happy at the "you can't pay for this" style of publicity.

Can we please make some kind of progress in evolution rather than piss in the pool?
unbeknownst to everyone it would actually be the news that brings about WW3 and gets to proclaim "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
@typhonic lmao i am so stealing that
Wilco. Tango. Foxtrot?
and how would you go about fact checking an image if you didn't know where it came from?
hey guys. every time an islamic extreemist posts a picture on one of their websites we better check g4.

TERRORISM!
I'm going to vote democrat...TERRORISM!
GIVE ME A tiny Break. I think we've officially hit the point of "Paranoid" when a still image from a video game is proof of terrorist propaganda. I'm southern, I'm Republican and I'm a gamer and I'm sick of all that cloak and dagger bull in the media. When will they leave gamers alone? Thank God for G4. This would make a great soapbox segment Adam.
