Radioactive wolves. For real. And you morons were worried about zombie apocalypses, when these radioactive wolves are out there, increasing their numbers...

Uhm... there are a lot of radioactive creatures near Chernobyl, not just our canine brethren. Squirrels especially and they have somehow managed to thrive despite the radiation around the area.

Przewalski's Horses, too. The whole region is ironically a de facto nature preserve. But Radioactive Wolves sounds like something out of a B grade hooror film. If you are at all interested in this stuff, I can't recommend Kiddofspeed enough. Turns out the backstory is fictionalised, but the information is striking. |

"Time does not ruin roads". Yeah, right. Erosion: no longer a thing!
Seriously though, Chernobyl's environs are both fascinating and kind of creepy. Also, full of atomic-powered murder wolves.

There are lots of things in Fallout that do not jibe with the real world, even setting aside the radically different technological and cultural evolution of that world. Two hundred years would almost entirely eradicate the roads.

I am intrigued and yet close to pissing my pants. Damn, nature, you SCARY.

"Time does not ruin roads". Yeah, right. Erosion: no longer a thing! I had always understood that it is weather and usage that fucks a road up, combined. No heavy vehicles using the roads probably makes them last a lot longer. Anyhow, fictionalised as the backstory is, the photos are striking.Creepy as a creepy thing!I have it on good authority they are all about 160% larger than the average wolf, they glow faintly in the dark, and their pupils are trefoil shaped holes in danger yellow irises! |

I kind of wish I could visit the dead zone. There's something simultaneously fascinating and unnerving about modern ghost towns.

No heavy vehicles using the roads probably makes them last a lot longer. Sure, that would make sense. And after 20 years I'm sure they look okay. But a graph of the collapse of something like roads would look fairly geometric, with the process accelerating until the end. Add a couple centuries and I doubt you'd have any but the barest hints that a road was ever there. |

If radiation could actually make that happen, I'd be rooting for nuclear disasters, then bide my time until my laser-squirrel army was complete. |

Don't be silly. No laser-squirrel would follow a human. The animosity between our kind and theirs goes back a hundred generations!
