Capital Wasteland: 'Please help us, we are all starving to death, the air and water is toxic we have no money and no homes and everything around us is dead' Meanwhile on the other side of America

What it means

A bleak, ruined city in the Capital Wasteland is contrasted with a lively group of Fallout characters gambling at a casino. The joke compares the desperate conditions of Fallout 3's Washington, D.C. wasteland with the comparatively festive atmosphere of the Mojave in Fallout: New Vegas. It is used as a humorous reaction to contrasting situations in different parts of the same country or world.
