Mad to hear some proper info! Will probably be a 'Coming Fall 2014' teaser ending.

I cant wait till a mod edits the 1st post and removes the (unconfirmed) part

Mycroft H

Well it's as near as confirmed as makes no difference now.

That siren is actually quite dread inducing!

pixelburp

Yeah, even though none of us ever suffered the horrors of nuclear war (and many here would have been born after the threat of it was at its highest), there's something oddly primal about that siren. I actually shuddered a little when it blared into my headphones, the feeling of dread instantaneous. I need to go have a long shower haha...

Has someone put the full recordings up yet?

There's an air-raid siren across the road from me house used by a fabrication yard to signal lunchtime and home time each day. Can be heard all over Dundalk. Grew up with it.

Never had the feeling of dread others get from it.

Well mine is the nearest house to it so it's not hard to work out where I live.

Needless to say I've never slept past 1pm in my life.

Actually, I'm wrong, I thought the siren was coming from somewhere else entirely (now that I've looked it up). Presumed as a child and never realised the mistake!

Still though, that's testament to how bloody loud the thing is.

Yep can hear it throughout town and as far out as Kilkerley at least on a good day (where I live now).

Anyways. This is slightly OT.

Go Fallout 4!

So fallout 4 is set in Dundalk?!! :P

Mycroft H

Dundalk would actually look better too.

After lots of nukes.

dreamers75

Dundalk can never have enough nukes imo

ShiverinEskimo

Why don't we get back to Boston and Fallout 4 before this gets territorial.

lol

Air Raid Siren implies that the time and location was under attack right there and then, whereas Fallout is set after the nuke war.

So was the location not affected as much as other locales?

If it's in Boston, I really hope there's a ghoul prostitute and at least one line involving "hardah, hardah!"

Do you all remember this from summer 2012? About the dev team going on location to take pictures of MIT etc?


It doesn't seem to have been brought up since the morse code promos and it seems like further evidence its being set in Boston.


Obviously I will have to start a Bring it Back to Dundalk petition but thats for another day.

Yah sure, but its quite a leap of faith to think people have reread the entire thread (from 2012) once this morse stuff became news.

Basically my point is that the Morse stuff seems to confirm Boston rather than just suggest it.

The two points together make a much stronger case.

15 minutes or so until the timer stops on Thesurvivor2299.com finishes. What will it be?
