Well, I believe that I've found most if not all of what's out there.
If you find something that I don't have feel free to let me know.
You can contact me at [email protected]

Also, I created this FAQ to confirm all random encounters.  I will
not tell any of the funny things that happen.  Some of what happens
or what people say is very funny, so wander around looking for them
yourself.  There are some great items you can get or steal in these
encounters, but I am not listing them yet.  Play the game to see
this stuff.  I will list the encounter name as found on the map and
a description of what it is.  These are minor spoilers and you have
been warned.

< FINDING RANDOM ENCOUNTERS >
\-------------------------/

I have found that these encounters don't seem to be quite random.
They do happen in different places, but the grid on the map that
they happen in seems to be pre-determined.  So the only way that
you will find these encounters is to explore.  Whenever you come
across a random encounter, try going through the same square again.
Almost every random encounter I had, I was able to get another in
the same square.  Also, some random encounters ( "Deathclaw
liberation", and "Pitch Black" come to mind ) are dangerous.
Others are one time only events.  If you watch it once you can't
see it again.  So I would recommend saving if possible before
exploring any encounter.


/----------------\
< RANDOM MERCHANTS >
\----------------/

These encounters seems to be the same as any other except they
always have someone that is willing to trade (for ring pulls) and
they have a larger circle on the map (unlike the gas station)

1.  Hermit
2.  Trader
3.  Farmer
4.  Merchant


/-----------------\
< RANDOM ENCOUNTERS >
\-----------------/

One Time only events (They don't revert to normal after the
encounter) are denoted with a *

1.  The Pipboy *
   The guy from all of the skill/perk pictures.  He's small but
   he carries a BIG gun.

2.  B1000
   Part brahmin, part terminator.

3.  "" (The Eveready Bunny)
   This one is not labeled on the map.  It is full of invisible
   People who seem to think that this bunny keeps going and going.

4.  L33tists
   A clan of frag fanatics.

5.  Brahmin Poker
   First dogs playing poker, now mutated cows.

6.  Amelia
   She must have been REALLY lost.  We're no where near the
   Atlantic.

7.  Deathclaw Liberation *
   See pen filled with dethclaws.  See wacko decide to set them
   free.  See wacko run.   Run wacko run.

8.  CPF vs. PFC
   "Canadian Peoples Front vs. Peoples Front of Canada"

9.  Canadian Invasion
   Guarding our future against those pesky Canadians.

10. Sixth Sense
   "I see dead brahmin."

11. Komodo Man *
   See what happens when a post apocalyptic crocodile hunter
   decides to molest a mutated komodo dragon.

12. Four Horseman
   The four horseman of the post-apocalypse.

13. Titanic
   The sketch he drew looked a bit different in the movie.

14. Invasion Recreationists
   See all the action of the invasion of Canada!

15. Bazaar Day
   Mmmm...  Diablo armor...  *drools*

16. Brahmin Tipping
   The greatest sport of the 22nd century

17. Uprising
   Those civilians could have been armed.

18. Brothers Grimm *
   Help a brother out!

19. Coppertops
   Fallout, meet the Matrix.  Matrix, meet fallout.

20. Phil
   Bike, bike, bike, all day long.  Delivering Nuka-Cola while I
   song this song.

21. Mir
   Yup.  It's the space station all right.

22. Pitch Black
   It's dark and filled with danger.  Have fun.

23. Reaver Dance
   They don't get any more dead.

24. Gas Station
   How is she still alive after all of these years?  Hmmm...

25. Brahmin Armor
   I'll let you guess from the title.

25. Morte
   This seems to be the last encounter.  I only got it after
   getting all of the others.  I even got it about 5 times before
   I quit looking for random encounters.  It's a dead man walking.

Well, thanks about it.  Enjoy...
