I don't want to be spoilery but I strongly encourage everyone to visit Vault 11. I had to rest for a moment and stare at the wall after I finished exploring it.
It was completely disturbing.

Vault 11... whoah.
Just use the spoiler tag. I'm probably never going to bother playing New Vegas anyways, you may as well talk about whatever it is that was so interesting.
Sorry kids... have a cookie.
Ok, SPOILERS
So, first you walk in and there's this tape and you pick it up and there's like 4 or five people talking.
They know something, something suspicious and they are not happy about it.
Then, someone says, "So, are we gonna do it?" and everyone agrees., "Yes, yes..."
Suddenly, this one guy speaks up and exclaims something like "No! No I don't think this is a good idea..." and then you hear blam, blam, blam, blam!

I guess you could say that last part was totally adapted from the Jabba surprise scene in Return of the Jedi. Wow. Little ideas from everywhere.
Wow, that was really neat. At first I didn't think it was anything special, but the walk down the bright hallway and the video were really neat. I was especially freaked out when the video went completely black after the narrator finished, the doors on either side slowly opened, and I got decimated.
