A few days ago i was doing a quest in Helios one when upon activating a computer i was informed of a by-gone event involving a visit from a general. I read over it with minimal interest, as i do with most documents, simply in order to absorb all facets but not exactly care for all the detail...when i noticed a particular name came up. Scott Lowe.
 
Now this isn't exactly an uncommon name, im sure thousands of people have that exact name. It just so happens to be the name of an editor at IGN.

Naturally this means nothing. A one off event, a blip on the radar...But something like this has already happened.
 
Enter Colin Moriarty from fallout 3.

More importantly, enter Colin Moriarty...an IGN editor.

 Now im not crying conspiracy or bribes or anything like that. I just think its interesting that clearly someone is either purposefully or absent mindedly taking names from editors from video games sites. Has anyone else noticed any other names pop up? Is this some variety of gaming community easter egg?
 
Can we expect a battled hardened ranger by the name of Brad Shoemaker or perhaps a drug runner by the name of Jeff Gerstmann to appear in another Fallout game?

It's probably an easter egg combined with the thought that if the editors see said easter egg, they might appreciate the game a bit more and perhaps it'll get a higher score. 
 
No reason not to, I guess.

Colin Moriarty was a jerk though, if I were an IGN editor I'd be offended.
