Gaming: Fallout Series Finally Let Us Meet A Character Who's Been Part Of...

And the actor playing them is an original Fallout voice artist.

Note: Major spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 7!

Back before Fallout Season 2 began, I plugged my brain into a bunch of computers—Mr. House-style—so I could calculate the odds of certain characters from the Fallout universe appearing in the show.

Unlike Mr. House, I'm not particularly good at predicting the future, though I'm still holding out hope Mysterious Stranger shows up in the middle of a gunfight in the final episode of the season.

And we've never even seen the President. No old photographs. No portraits. No billboards. Nothing whatsoever bearing his image. Fallout 3 takes place in Washington D.C. and yet we never see a picture of the President who was running the country when the world ended? Weird. Even considering that he joined the Enclave and went into hiding months before everything went kablooey, you'd think something would have survived to show us who he actually was.

But great news, because the Fallout TV series was more than happy to unveil him when Cooper Howard got to meet the President in person in Las Vegas in a pre-war flashback. Just like that, after 25 years of mystery, The Last President of the United States was revealed, and I was hap
