On Vault Boy and Pip Boy

No Mutants Allowed has published a quick editorial that explains why any self-respecting Fallout fan should know the difference between the game’s two mascots – Vault Boy and Pip Boy.

Referring to Vault Boy as Pip Boy isn’t a small mistake. It’s about as bad as referring to Calvin as Charlie Brown. You shouldn’t use an incorrect name just because two characters look “a lot” like each other. It only creates confusion. And it would be a disservice to Leonard Boyarsky, who created both characters. Nevertheless, it’s a mistake that happens all the time.

Future mistakes will not be tolerated.
