What do you do when your city is suddenly carpet-bombed with 20 inches of godforsaken snow? This, apparently.
After grabbing one of the few cartons of eggs left in the state, my girlfriend and I set out to fashion a holiday treat for the <del>suckers</del> dedicated Bethesda devs that came to work on Monday. Of course, finding ingredients during a record-breaking snowfall turned out to be the easy part. Finding a mold that would double as the Vault Boy was the really stupid challenge.
That being said, if you can somehow locate a large Gingerbread Man-shaped aluminum mold, torturing it into shape with a pair of needle-nose pliers does the trick. Important steps: after cutting, be sure to fully crook the arm, and add a slight hair-flip/thumbs-up for the classic pose. Optional step: add love.
A few people have asked me for the recipe: Joy of Cooking’s “Rich Rolled Cookie” is the one. Gray-colored shoes were achieved with a mixture of basic frosting and equal parts red/blue/yellow food coloring. There’s certainly plenty of room to improve on the decoration.
On that note, if you guys have seen and/or produced any cool Bethesda or id-themed holiday creations, be sure to <a href="mailto:bethblog@bethsoft.com">pass them our way</a>. We’re hungry.

So if I wanted a Bloody Mess cookie, would it be peppermint flavor?
 
Also, a bit of trivia I happened upon today: The Vault Boy character is based on Mr. Monopoly! Tim Cain revealed the fact in <a href="../../content.php?id=7">an interview with Duck and Cover back in 2002</a>:
<blockquote>
Ah vault boy. All I remember is Leonard telling T Ray Isaac to draw something like Mr. Moneybags in Monopoly.

Did you put anything interesting in the cokkies?

Tim Cain is probably the master of food of video games or whatever. He always had some special recipe to give to fans and could totally out cook any of the Bethesda devs.

Wow, those cookies suck balls.

I sometimes like to imagine the staff at Bethesda doing dumb shit, like "Come to Work Dressed as Vault Boy Day" or playing games of Vault Boy themed laser tag, or have a Vault Boy themed ice hockey team, or Vault Boy themed go karting, or Vault Boy themed date rape at the Vault Boy themed office party using Vault Boy themed rohypnol.

After each banal event, putting one hand each into a circle, throwing them into the air, and shouting "THAT'S SO FALLOUT!!!! YEAHH!!!"
