Well, now you've started it off, if you do not press that button every 108 minutes the world will end.

I think it's just a troll attempt since the other red button you find in Ranger HQ actually does blow you up. It probably does absolutely nothing.

I've finished that game and I still don't know. However my epilogue for that region was all perfect.. so whatever it did it did not negatively affect the plot for Hollywood. In fact, I'd venture a guess and say it's a good idea to push it.

Clearly the best button to press. I enjoyed.

Richard Matherson once published a short story wherein a man is presented with a box with a button on it, He is told that when he presses the button somewhere someone would die, and he the “button man” would receive a monetary reward.
Being fortunate enough to have made the acquaintance of the “puppy effect” before finding the computer with the ominous button, I declined.

ie. A picture of a hypothetical intercepted radio signal from Ranger Citadel:
“…head of Proteus suddenly activated by radio signal….mated to Thrasher’s leg prosthesis…activated…last seen…hopping off…”
Wild maybe, but considering the ”puppy effect”, the countdown button in Citadel museum, I maintain that the designers and developers of this great game are not; repeat, to be trusted!!!

it gives you an achievement that claims you are foolish for pushing it.
When you transfer your save file to "wasteland 3" it might be the cause of a zambie appocolypse, or releases an OP robot army that are like the reapers from mass effect.
:conwayshrug:
considering that the button centers around something bad i wouldn't push it because you could always do it later when it is revealed for what it does.

Great reference to a really good tv series, thanks for the laugh.

I'm in Irvine now and found the other Ominous Red Button console. Naturally, I pressed it too. :-) Anyone have an idea what the one in Irvine does yet?

Edit: I found this article that explains it:
