I recently installed Fallout: New Vegas on the PC that I use for older games after realizing that, given its October 2010 release date, it qualifies as an older game now - how time flies. The game's age was driven home sharply when I began the Things That Go Boom quest, which involves dealing with a xenophobic conservative tribal group located at Nellis Air Force Base and armed with heavy artillery: the Boomers, a phrase which has acquired unexpected meaning since the game's debut.
The accidental joke is that, in the context of the game, the Boomers are sort of, well, Boomers: their lives are based on an obsolete and outdated standard, they're gun nuts, and some of them haven't left their insular enclave for over 50 years.
