Note Added: A Tragedy Has Befallen All Mankind

The image is a modification of a frame from The Simpsons. It's modified to depict the protagonist from Fallout: New Vegas about to beat another character, Mr. House, with a golf club.

It's a BioShock reference with the "slave obeys" statement and the golf club right?

Potential spoilers but I guess we can leave it at that for our fellow lemmyists who haven't played BioShock.

Never played NV, did it rip off the most dramatic moment in bioshock?

No, but if you kill Mr. House, who looks a bit like Andrew Ryan, with a golf club (an ordinary but low-level weapon that you probably won't be using by the time you get there), it gives you an achievement called "A Slave Obeys"

I believe Driver Nephi's weapon also counts.

It depends which ending you chose.

It's definitely house from fallout NV, but now we need a name for this trope.

Do you happen to write descriptions for the blind? If you don't, you'd be good at it. I'm not joking.

I fancy myself a creative writer, so I imagine there's some crossover between the skillsets.

I thought it was a Futurama / Simpsons crossover
