Everything you need to know about the Fallout universe

In another episode of “Clueless Gamer” on Late Night, host Conan O’Brien tried out the video game Fallout 4, as the audience watched him stare at his character’s mesmerizingly magnificent backside. But there’s more to the story than booties in tight armor suits.

The Fallout games have been around since 1997, and even though the series took a 10 year break until 2008, the hype around the universe never went down. 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas sold 1.8 million copies in its first week, a high mark for the series in 2010. But Bethesda Softworks’ new game, Fallout 4, sold more than 1.87 million digital copies alone three days after its November 10 release, according to research from SuperData Research. That’s more than $100 million in revenue, and we’re not even talking about copies bought at GameStop, Target, or other retailers.
