The most anticipated video game of the year had to be Fallout 4. Since Fallout 3 was released in 2008, fans had plenty of time to come up with creative strategies to get excited about the new release. The most awesome of those came from Imgurian GatorMacheteJr, who, throughout his four and a half years of undergrad and three years in a master’s degree program, saved bottle caps (bottle caps are the standard currency in Fallout). He eventually totaled 11.2 pounds of caps, which he then sent in several boxes to game makers Bethesda as payment for the preorder. Bethesda accepted GatorMacheteJr’s bottle caps as legal tender. “They told me since I was the first person to do this, I would be receiving a copy of the game this November," he explained. "I just wanted to say 'thank you' to everyone who helped in making this happen," he added. "People were simultaneously worried about my rate of drinking (I'm fine, thanks), and were also disappointed in my lack of drinking (I'm fine, thanks). Someone on Imgur even offered to gift me a copy of the game if I didn't get one. So thanks again everyone!" Not only did he get Fallout 4, but he also earned 1.1 million views and 21,836 points.
