Someone tries to pre-order Fallout 4 with bottle caps

Some ideas are just stupid. But some are so left-field that they actually deserve to be rewarded.

One keen gamer has sent Bethesda over 2000 bottle caps in an attempt to secure a pre-order for the recently-revealed Fallout 4.

Franchise fans will know that bottle caps are the in-game currency of the Fallout world and have a special sentimentality with veteran PC players.

“Fallout 3 was my favourite game for several years, so I made the rational choice to start saving up bottle caps,” said the bottle cap collector and self-proclaimed Fallout groupie Seth, AKA GatorMacheteJr on Imgur.

“Turns out 4.5 years of undergrad and three years in a Master’s program leads to a lot of drinking. It ended up being 11.2 pounds of bottle caps. You don’t want to know how much it cost to ship it to Maryland.”

Seth spent a total of seven and a half years of hoarding bottle caps, which totalled to 2240 at the end.

“I went ahead and sent everything I’ve been able to save since I played Fallout 3 for the first time,” added Seth. “I’m hoping if this post gets popular enough their PR department will be too nervous to turn me down.”

Unorthodox, but for his efforts, we hope he is rewarded.
