Fallout: New Vegas - Eight Things That Would Make BIS Proud

IGN has a piece titled Eight Things About Fallout: New Vegas That Would Make Black Isle Proud.  Here's a sample - spoilers apply:

Black Mountain Radio Station

Fallout juxtaposes bleakness with a sense of humour – Vault Boy, the grinning face of post-nuclear disaster, is the symbol of this attitude. Deep in the mountains, up a trail miles away from anywhere else and in a well-protected enclosure, is the lair of an insane super-mutant called Tabitha who likes to wear wigs and 50s-style glasses, and is engaged in a romantic relationship with her service robot. There's a ghoul mechanic kept prisoner up there whose notes detail another super-mutant's rage at his inability to fix his tiny toy car. And yet, behind the humour, there's a touch of pathos in the entries on the employee terminals, which preserve the moments before and during the nuclear holocaust.
