Recent changes to the real-life Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool enacted by the Trump administration have made it resemble its counterpart in Fallout 3. Though the real version is creating a lot some controversy and is arguably a bit of an eyesore, fans of Fallout 3 have been poking fun at the similarity.
The Fallout games have been set around various locales of the United States, but Fallout 3 in particular is set in the Capital Wasteland, which encompasses Washington D.C. and some surrounding areas. Gamers exploring the wasteland can discover remnants of the United States' buildings and monuments that exist in real life, including the reflecting pool in question.
Fallout fans officially have a new release to look forward to in 2027.
As the name implies, the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool normally has a mirror-like reflectivity to it. Recently, however, the reflecting pool has notably taken on a green tinge, apparently due to an overgrowth of algae. This has created a strong resemblance between the real-world reflecting pool and the one that can be found in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 3. Gamers have poked fun at the similarity, with some joking that the Trump administration was paying tribute...
