Wasn't there a post-apocalyptic video game set on the T?

Porter Square in the dark on the MBTA

This is not a screenshot from that game. This is Hannah Malenfant's photo of the Red Line platform at Porter Square around 12:45 p.m., after the lights went out. Yes, the escalator stopped working, too, she reports.

I think I'd have just camped out until the power came back on.

Maybe we can offer some tax incentives to bring the walking dead to Boston?

They are on their way to D.C. Maybe we can pay them to keep walking. Id love to see a few scenes with zombies running around the T tunnels in the dark.

Maybe we can offer a part to Martha C since she already runs a pretty good zombie campaign.

Correction Adam; in the famous works of mitch hedberg, an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs

The C.H.U.D.S. are hungry and come out when the lights go out.

All of Porter station is covered in a layer of dark gray soot and grime, so the place actually looks way better with most of the lights out.

It's the Russian subway actually, and some parts are scary as hell:

But I think the next Fallout game may be set in Boston?

I find post-apocalyptic media to be more depressing than entertaining but I am willing to bite the anxiety of experiencing a "too close to home" simulation to check out all the parts of the city they'll inevitably get wrong.
