Screenshot of Ed

First time out of the vault
Hello. I wonder if anyone could post a full sized screenshot of the Vault 13 entrance where Ed's skeleton is visible. I need that particular screenshot and I can't do it myself since my Fallout cd is not with me at the moment and the game is not installed on this PC. It would also be a bonus if the display in the bottom left corner could show the famous line "This is Ed. Ed's dead." :)
I tried to search for it on the net but I found only one picture that was reduced in size...

You could see it as a sign that outside of the vault, things aren't that safe anymore.

The 'Ed's dead' line is a reference to Pulp Fiction.

This seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

EDIT: I remember the line in the movie that you are thinking of, but I would really bet it is just a coincidence.

Nope. There's a really (in)famous line in Pulp Fiction that goes:

- "Who's Zed?"
- "Zed's dead, baby."

Fallout's line always reminisced along those lines for me, although it might be coincidence. Still, it's a good line nonetheless.

seconded.

not to mention Bruce Willis steals Zed's bike, while you're going to steal stuff off (Z)Ed's corpse.
 
Actually the line "Zed's dead" is a reference, in both Fallout and Pulp Fiction, to the movie Zardoz starring Sean Connery wearing thigh-high boots, red underpants, and red bandoleer suspenders.

Yes, both Fallout and Quentin Tarantino enjoy bizarre esoteric pop-culture references.

Maybe, it is reference to Pulp Fiction, not directly to Sean Connery in Zardoz

and btw same corpse is in tanker hold in F2, with the same "Ed's dead" line
 
Or it could be coincidental, "Z/T/J/Ed's Dead" has a nice rhyme to it, and it isn't a very complicated construction.

I wouldn't hold it as a reference to anything unless it was specifically confirmed otherwise. The rhyme is simple enough that multiple people could easily arrive at it coincidentally.
 
Ed gets around pretty far for a corpse. He also turns up in the prison rooms of the Mariposa Military Base.
 
It could also be a reference to the Pixies song Ed is Dead off of Come On Pilgrim.

It could also be that they just wanted some nice alliteration.

I find the Pulp Fiction refrence to be a stretch, they could've just called him Zed.
