I never understand why companies get so picky about this. If I see a reaction to a show or film and it looks good I end up renting the content to see the whole thing. Those who don't won't end up renting the content anyway, so it's not as if the studio loses out either way.
The moment the doctor says to her he took the pill after her speech full of hope is so funny. The way he says it. Like "No no, trust me...I am NOT going to make it".
When he says that the pill was the most humane thing vault tec ever made, it is not only ironic but shows the team making the series are actually familiar with the games
The knights armour is completely working and practical and the pip boys basically use an iPhone to work. The whole retro future vibe is so well created.
@@antonycharnock2993 I have an iPhone Pip Boy app that worked with Fallout 3 on PS4. It was kinda fun....you could control certain things in the game from the iPhone.
1) "Ten Years of Cousin Stuff" is officially on my list of potential band names. 2) The fact that the first thing Simon recognizes Kyle MacLachlan from is Sex In The City somehow hurts my soul.
My dad LOVED the Fallout games. It is all he would play. Over and over and over again. He passed away just over a year ago and in his last years was suffering from early signs of dementia. (He was in his late 60's) I think he loved the games so much because it was one of the few things he still enjoyed and could really remember. Watching the series...I just kept thinking how much my dad would have loved this! His favorite game turned into a fantastic tv show. Especially since in the first episode, one of the characters had his name...Monte.
This show is everything i couldve hoped for in an adaption. Im actually surprised they nailed the tone so perfectly. From the dark humor and zany characters, to every detail of the world, its truly the game brought to life.
I'm impressed with the actress that played Janie, she really sold the fear in her "Is it your thumb or mine," line. I hope she goes far in the industry.
Essentially the same weapon, concept-wise. But both were supposed to be one-off creations by crazy nutters. This is set several years after F4, but it's still kind of an strange that junk jets would have become so ubiquitous as to be found all the way across the country in Mexico and LA, in a shop in one case. Maybe it was based on a common pre-war science/engineering kit and so wasn't as unique an idea as the ArcJet tech thought?
"I told them you wouldn't hurt a fly." There is literally a scene of him ignoring the flies swarming around him at the cesspit, instead of swatting them.....
1. No point in swatting flies next to shit because it will have 0 affect. 2. The same day he nearly kills a guy for fighting someone and clearly enjoyed making him beg and grovel. He isn't a nice guy lol
@Lionimia Sometimes people act to protect themselves and then regret the harm that caused. It doesn't mean they wouldn't do it again, but they do wish it hadn't needed to happen in the first place. You can see it on his face when he looks at the dog once the fight is over. Plus people like dogs 😁
Very high on Charisma and Agility for sure. I'd say a high Luck score, too. Maybe light on Strength and Perception. Intelligence, Endurance probably average to above average depending on how far she dumped Strength and Perception.
I loved that the first time we're introduced to Lucy it's like she's filling out her character sheet and "tagging" her skills. Also, "Castlevania" is another amazing video game adaptation.
You know what part is underrated that people just laugh at is the chicken effer scene. Because in the game after you help someone they make a remark and just carry on. No talking real NPC action and I think it gets over looked because it was comical. Like obviously everyone knows the scene and it’s over rated in the sense that it’s what everyone talks about. But they are talking about how it was legit just an NPC moment.
I couldn't help but think of her every single time! Also, I'm lowkey cringing because I can already envision a zillion new people bothering her about it thinking _iT'S a fALloUt reFEreNcE!_ whenever Nicole's just vibing and doing her thing 💪👱💅
Fun fact: Michael Emerson (Dr. Wilzig) was in another show, called “Person of Interest”, where his character (and supporting cast of characters), also had a German Shepherd for a companion. I was super excited when I saw this comparison.
The dog that features in the series is a Belgian Malinois which is also the dog in Person of Interest not a German Shepherd. This is Michael Emerson's first collaboration with Jonathan Nolan {Exec Producer) since Person of Interest.

I'm now 62 years old and have been playing Fallout since the beginning. Only Fallout 76 wasn't that great for me, but that can happen. The series is now being watched with son No. 2 (in terms of time). We were very curious to see whether it would be the typical crap of a quick-cash film adaptation. But no, it started well.
@Nulli_Di Honestly, with all the previous video game adaptations I think people are rightfully wary. I didn't have high expectations for the show but was pleasantly surprised, It felt like Fallout. Unlike the Halo show...
Well, if we go by Fallout Shelter's stats, Lucy has the following Stats Strength : 4 Perception: 7 Endurance: 6 Charisma: 5 Intelligence: 6 Agility: 5 Luck: 7 She also has the following Skills according to Episode 1 with the minimum scores according to the video game: Barter: 30 Big Guns: 15 Doctor: 21 Energy Weapons: 15 First Aid: 36 Gambling: 41 Lockpick: 26 Melee Weapons: 59 (Points Put in here) Outdoorsman: 11 Repair: 26 (Points Put in here) Science: 37 (Points Put in here) Small Guns: 40 (Points Put in here) Sneak: 30 Speech: 35 (Points Put in here) Steal: 25 Throwing: 45 Traps: 26 Unarmed: 69 (Points Put in here) Keep in mind that these skills scores assume that the rules for Fallout 1 and 2 are used, are the minimum score Lucy can have at the start and don't account for the skill points Lucy gains at level 1 and ever subsequent level after. However, from the skills that she displays and tells us she has we can assume that there are points put into said skills. Assuming the rules for Fallout 1 and 2 are being used, she would have a total of 17 skill points to go around at level 1 and every time she levelled up.
About her never experiencing the sun and not burning, there is a video in Fallout 2 called "Leaving the vault". It details what you must and must not do when... leaving the vault. maybe she watched one of those.
When my wife saw the guy being drowned in the pickle juice she said “that must sting with all those cuts on his face”, lol - as if “stinging” was his big worry in all that.
I read an interview with one of the show creators and he said Todd Howard just gave them free reign to do what they wanted. He said most creators have a list of things that need to be signed off on as everything is being done but Howard just said do what they needed to do and he would help them whenever they needed it so they tried really hard to make it as good as possible because they got so much freedom.
I'll keep saying it, Fallout is by far THE single best video game adaptation I've ever seen. You know why they did it right? because they didn't retell the same stories we already played, they took the already rich world and told a story inside it, and they got every detail of the games in the show right. From the costumes to the set designs to the props. It's *chef's kiss*
Funny of you mentioning Arcane and voice acting, seeing as Ella Purnell is the voice of Jinx. Which you can clearly hear in some of the scenes of Episode 1 ;)
I'm really happy you two are doing this series! I think game adaptations have gotten massively better because the people making these shows grew up actually playing games. They have an understanding of not just the individual games, but what it's like to engage with that medium as a whole. Jonathan Noland (EP of this show along with his wife) talked about not writing scripts for months back in the early 2000s because he was playing Fallout 3.
Dogmeat cannot die. I mean literally in the game even when he “dies” he’s only knocked out until he gets a stimpak. Killing Dogmeat would actually go against canon imo 😂.
I don't get that though. He saved it, and was allowed to take the dog by the security at the checkpoint, yet it was a problem that he had the dog, and not that he had made his own cold fusion device ... They really didn't have to have the other scientist show up to motivate him to leave, he should have just left one day and snook away.
I love that Lucy is pointing a gun at the wastelander when she first talks to him. Every single player has does that! You see an NPC, start talking to them, forgetting to put your gun away. lmao!
I loved all the little details. The Sugarbombs, Grognak, Yum Yum Deviled Eggs, the computers and desk fans, the hiss of the stimpacks, etc. It really feels like the games.
I blew up Megaton once and almost immediately got bored/felt bad. Hearing Three Dog talk shit about me made me give up on playing the “bad guy” route about an hour in.
I’ve watched a tonne of different reactions to this show and it’s completely refreshing to watch people react to it who are actually fans of the games . Thank you both for being fellow nerds.
yoooooooo I dunno how I missed this on the Patron but hell yeah. I've binged the whole thing, and it's absolutely excellent. A fantastic portrayal of the fallout series that's also accessible to new audiences.
I've just binged it. Really surprised how much I enjoyed this as I've never really played the game although I knew some lore. That soundtrack really adds to to the atmosphere.
@@antonycharnock2993 probably not surprising considering Bethesda owned the rights to them from the games (the ones they didn't create themselves), but it's all songs used in the games. The show does a great job of capturing the tone and theme of the show, blithe 50's cheer overlayed with the horrors of man and nightmare of nuclear war
Yes, the implication is that Cooper was the original model for Vault Boy. Also, if you pay attention, you'll find Vault Girl is around too. The town, FIlly, is build in/on a landfill(y).
18:00 on Fallout Shelter they added Lucy as a character and her stats are as follows: S4, P7, E6, C5, I6, A5, and L7. She has her own Vault Suit that grants her an additional P3, E2, L3. Additionally, she carry’s a special Tranq Gun that has 2-12damage
Excuse me, that's Kyle Maclachlan of Muhad'Dib fame. As for Titus, I believe he was made to be the epitome of a player character. He doesn't act at all like a Brother would act, he acts like murder hobo player character who can't handle an actual challenge and doesn't really have any active RP going on as to the Brotherhood. Given that its Michael Rappaport, that makes sense.
I personally love it when the turret flashes, please stand by. It is so Fallout and so hilarious😅😂 Personally, I prefer Naughtis Maximus. Love me some Monty Python! LOL😅😂
Did anyone else play so much Fallout that they would have dreams of being in that world? I remember one vivid one with me running down an alley, and hiding in a dumpster to evade a couple of deathclaws.
I still remember my fist mole rat kill in Fallout 1, right out of the vault. Almost 30 years ago. This franchise was gold from the start. Seeing Shady Sands referenced gave some tasty memberberries.
It's weird that George wants to go right away to the vault. I was always fascinated with the pre-War world. The way you can only snippets make it somewhat mysterious. I'd rather spend more time with the pre-War society as we'll have the whole rest of the series to get into the radioactive armpit of the present.
"Had an aunt as well, she got killed there once" was one of the most underrated line for me 😂 that and the fact that a literal CYANIDE PILL was "the most humane product that Vault-Tec ever made"
I don't think enough people are pointing out that Ella Purnell might be the missing part in all game adaptations. Maybe she's the reason Arcane and Fallout works? Gonna be a lucrative career if the money men starts believing she's the golden goose :)
When there's good writing and a good story, an adaptation works. It helps to have good source material (like this). HALO sucked because the writing was terrible and the source material was, frankly, rather thin compared to something like Fallout. I could see Mass Effect working REALLY well as a series but everyone's going to be upset about which gender Shep is being cast. The superior FemShep or the inferior (but player-pandering) MaleShep.
"That's Kyle MacLachlan..." 🤩 ".....from Sex and the City" 😫 This comment broke my heart. You guys need to learn about the greatness of Twin Peaks and soon! 😁
The whole first season is an EXCELLENT adherence to the source material... from Cram to NukaCola to Stimpaks to the rock-it launcher... to ALL the outfits (vault dwellers, raiders, townsfolk, power armor, the Ghoul's clothing... to personalities and set pieces... to atmosphere. It all FEELS like a Fallout game... from the zealot feel of the Brotherhood to the closed paranoia of the makeshift towns...to the glossed over optimism of vault dwellers... And the creature design is on point... All this while telling a new story despite similarities to some of the game stories... And then the flashbacks for the background... This series, at least first season, is Chef's Kiss... cant wait to watch you 2 get through this season.
In regards to the fusion core, I think it's more accurate that they don't run out very quickly to how something like a fusion core would last. I think it's purely a gameplay/mechanical thing so that you can't just use the power armor all the time, with all it's various upgrades.
Glad you're doing this. Only up to episode 5 so far but pleasantly surprised. Some weaker elements but overall a good show. Not sure about Maximus but I guess his arc is ongoing at this point.
No, it's Kyle MacLachlan from "Dune", "Blue Velvet", and, "Twin Peaks". No one should ever soil his great career by even mentioning Sex, and, the f**king City!
One thing that threw me a bit. We seem to have one vault divided into 3 sections (vault 31, 32, and 33) that have a central zone with blast doors between the three vaults, and each has its own separate entrance/ exit to the surface?
To clear up the confusion about the yellow liquid the Ghoul was taking. It stops Ghouls from going feral and the reason it was being fed into him at the beginning was because of th etorture method. The guys who dug him up worked for some crime boss who had buried Cooper 'alive'. The yellow substance keeps him lucid in order for the torture to be effective, he can't die so he's just buried alive for days, weeks, months, years... Decades, at a time as long as he keeps receiving the 'anti-ghoul' serum.
A lot of adaptations from source material to live action "look" really great, and pretty close to the original source. I feel the reason Fallout works better is that it does not actually FOLLOW any particular game plot from the franchise. It's a new story with new characters within the (BEAUTIFUL!!) Fallout universe, so there's no complaining about original characters written wrongly, or plot inaccuracies and changes Lol. Jussayin'.🙃
I found that they really captured the essence of the games, the crazy violence, cognitive dissonance of the characters, funny nonsensical bits and a little bit of heart.
33:24 When playing Fallout 3 I blew up Megaton once. Only once, I liked it too much to do it again. But I did want to see the explosion from Tenpenny Tower. It was worth it!
Couple probably mentioned that the ghouls pre apocalypse last name is Howard. Maybe a nod to Bethesdas Todd Howard. Also, you mentioned arcane but the last of us was also fantastic
Really glad this didn't end up a Patreon-only series. I thought the season was decent overall. My only complaints were I caught myself saying "wrap it up" quite a bit at times, and I could not stand maximus at all, even later on. He looks 40 but acts and sounds like a Key and Peele sketch where Peele is playing a young and/or nerdy kid. I also guess the finale could have been a bit better or longer but it still lived up to most of the anticipation it built throughout with the twist[s]. Excited to watch the rest of your reactions to this soon!
The thumbs up is just a happy thumbs up according to the artist that designed vault boy and I like that Cooper did it with that intent too but it still pays homage to the communities head canon that’s it’s for the cloud reference with the Marine lines
My initial experience with Fallout was the game "Wasteland" on Commodore 64 that came out in 1988. It was the direct inspiration of the "Fallout" game series. I never thought there would be a show 35+ years later.

30:05 "This wasteland f^*%ing SUCKS!" ~Every wastelander ever.
Betty is “Blind AL” from the Deadpool films. Put a giant pair of Ray-Bans on her and you’ll be like, Oh shit there you are. 😂
I'm really happy you two are doing this series! I think game adaptations have gotten massively better because the people making these shows grew up actually playing games. They have an understanding of not just the individual games, but what it's like to engage with that medium as a whole. Jonathan Noland (EP of this show along with his wife) talked about not writing scripts for months back in the early 2000s because he was playing Fallout 3.
Dogmeat cannot die. I mean literally in the game even when he “dies” he’s only knocked out until he gets a stimpak. Killing Dogmeat would actually go against canon imo 😂.
Depends on the game. Dogmeat can absolutely die in some of them.
It saddens me that Simone sees Kyle MacLachlan and the first thing she thinks of is Sex and the City. Twin Peaks, WATCH IT!
I don't mind it. The man's had a stable career!
This. And “Blue Velvet”.
He is the Kwisatz Haderach!
He's also on Agents of Shield
Also the mayor of Portland on Portlandia
Cooper Howard is definitely a VATS build character.
Amen. He destroys that town.
He saved '404. She was under the minimum weight. In case anyone missed the scale.
I don't get that though. He saved it, and was allowed to take the dog by the security at the checkpoint, yet it was a problem that he had the dog, and not that he had made his own cold fusion device ...
They really didn't have to have the other scientist show up to motivate him to leave, he should have just left one day and snook away.
I love that Lucy is pointing a gun at the wastelander when she first talks to him. Every single player has does that! You see an NPC, start talking to them, forgetting to put your gun away. lmao!
The "Thumbs up" lore is new, I believe, and unique to the show.
It was actually something soldiers were really told in the 50s.
I loved all the little details. The Sugarbombs, Grognak, Yum Yum Deviled Eggs, the computers and desk fans, the hiss of the stimpacks, etc. It really feels like the games.
I loved that during certain dialogue and actions you can hear traits going up. And Lucy's dad was Paul Atreides in the first Dune.
Also Fred Flintstone’s boss in the movie.
He also enjoys a 'damn fine cup of coffee' in Twin Peaks!
@@Denashi And cherry pie! Mmmm! 😀
@@ericy4522Jade give two rides. Heh. 😂
Honestly, this is pretty much Paul Atreides if he went full-on Harkonnen side of himself.
I blew up Megaton once and almost immediately got bored/felt bad. Hearing Three Dog talk shit about me made me give up on playing the “bad guy” route about an hour in.
Glad you two are reacting to this
coming from a fallout modder this show is so good
I just wished they either hadn't messed with the lore or hadn't declared the show cannon to the games.
I’ve watched a tonne of different reactions to this show and it’s completely refreshing to watch people react to it who are actually fans of the games . Thank you both for being fellow nerds.
This series was my introduction to anything Fallout.
I had no idea what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised!
yoooooooo I dunno how I missed this on the Patron but hell yeah.
I've binged the whole thing, and it's absolutely excellent. A fantastic portrayal of the fallout series that's also accessible to new audiences.
I didn't see it on Patreon. I check every day, this one has gone straight to public TH-cam.
I've just binged it. Really surprised how much I enjoyed this as I've never really played the game although I knew some lore. That soundtrack really adds to to the atmosphere.
@@CineRam they snuck it past us on this one 😂
@@antonycharnock2993 probably not surprising considering Bethesda owned the rights to them from the games (the ones they didn't create themselves), but it's all songs used in the games. The show does a great job of capturing the tone and theme of the show, blithe 50's cheer overlayed with the horrors of man and nightmare of nuclear war
People are very conflicted on that. It seems like the more die-hard fans of the franchise are NOT very happy about the series.
Yes, the implication is that Cooper was the original model for Vault Boy. Also, if you pay attention, you'll find Vault Girl is around too. The town, FIlly, is build in/on a landfill(y).
18:00 on Fallout Shelter they added Lucy as a character and her stats are as follows: S4, P7, E6, C5, I6, A5, and L7. She has her own Vault Suit that grants her an additional P3, E2, L3. Additionally, she carry’s a special Tranq Gun that has 2-12damage
Excuse me, that's Kyle Maclachlan of Muhad'Dib fame. As for Titus, I believe he was made to be the epitome of a player character. He doesn't act at all like a Brother would act, he acts like murder hobo player character who can't handle an actual challenge and doesn't really have any active RP going on as to the Brotherhood. Given that its Michael Rappaport, that makes sense.
Yeah: she clearly needs to watch more good Maclachlan stuff.
that particular poster makes Max look like an I Think You Should Leave character. "GOD DANG BONIES"
I personally love it when the turret flashes, please stand by. It is so Fallout and so hilarious😅😂
Personally, I prefer Naughtis Maximus. Love me some Monty Python! LOL😅😂
Did anyone else play so much Fallout that they would have dreams of being in that world? I remember one vivid one with me running down an alley, and hiding in a dumpster to evade a couple of deathclaws.
I still remember my fist mole rat kill in Fallout 1, right out of the vault. Almost 30 years ago. This franchise was gold from the start. Seeing Shady Sands referenced gave some tasty memberberries.
It's weird that George wants to go right away to the vault. I was always fascinated with the pre-War world. The way you can only snippets make it somewhat mysterious. I'd rather spend more time with the pre-War society as we'll have the whole rest of the series to get into the radioactive armpit of the present.
The Deathclaw cave kinda explains why Titus goes through Squires.
He uses them up.....
Yao Guai cave, not Deathclaw
Yes Titus sucks. Both in attitude and how wimpy he is. You can be level 1 in that armor and stomp entire towns.
@@jasenjacobs1365 But if you go up against a Yao Guai at level 1, even in full T-60 power armor, you'll get your shit pushed in just the same.
"Had an aunt as well, she got killed there once" was one of the most underrated line for me 😂 that and the fact that a literal CYANIDE PILL was "the most humane product that Vault-Tec ever made"
I don't think enough people are pointing out that Ella Purnell might be the missing part in all game adaptations. Maybe she's the reason Arcane and Fallout works? Gonna be a lucrative career if the money men starts believing she's the golden goose :)
When there's good writing and a good story, an adaptation works. It helps to have good source material (like this). HALO sucked because the writing was terrible and the source material was, frankly, rather thin compared to something like Fallout. I could see Mass Effect working REALLY well as a series but everyone's going to be upset about which gender Shep is being cast. The superior FemShep or the inferior (but player-pandering) MaleShep.
"That's Kyle MacLachlan..." 🤩
".....from Sex and the City" 😫
This comment broke my heart. You guys need to learn about the greatness of Twin Peaks and soon! 😁
The whole first season is an EXCELLENT adherence to the source material... from Cram to NukaCola to Stimpaks to the rock-it launcher... to ALL the outfits (vault dwellers, raiders, townsfolk, power armor, the Ghoul's clothing... to personalities and set pieces... to atmosphere. It all FEELS like a Fallout game... from the zealot feel of the Brotherhood to the closed paranoia of the makeshift towns...to the glossed over optimism of vault dwellers...
And the creature design is on point...
All this while telling a new story despite similarities to some of the game stories...
And then the flashbacks for the background...
This series, at least first season, is Chef's Kiss... cant wait to watch you 2 get through this season.
The final scene of episode 2 reminded me of Theatre of Blood
" Horace you're snoring again " ( as Arthur Lowe's head is sawn off )
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In regards to the fusion core, I think it's more accurate that they don't run out very quickly to how something like a fusion core would last. I think it's purely a gameplay/mechanical thing so that you can't just use the power armor all the time, with all it's various upgrades.
Glad you're doing this. Only up to episode 5 so far but pleasantly surprised. Some weaker elements but overall a good show. Not sure about Maximus but I guess his arc is ongoing at this point.
Any video game looking to get adapted well just has to cast Ella Purnell. Between this and Arcane (Jinx) she’s on a hot streak lol
No, it's Kyle MacLachlan from "Dune", "Blue Velvet", and, "Twin Peaks". No one should ever soil his great career by even mentioning Sex, and, the f**king City!
Walton Goggins is my fave thing about the show. Give that man all the awards.
Lucy's Stats from Fallout shelter
Strength 4.
Perception 7.
Endurance 6.
Charisma 5.
Intelligence 6.
Agility 5.
Luck 7.
"I hope it's Dogmeat!"
There are many Dogmeat.
So it's like Roach in The Witcher?
@@Johnny_Socko Yes, but instead of the same guy naming all these dogs "Dogmeat" it's just a coincidence.
George's wild laughter after "he was fking my chickens" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One thing that threw me a bit. We seem to have one vault divided into 3 sections (vault 31, 32, and 33) that have a central zone with blast doors between the three vaults, and each has its own separate entrance/ exit to the surface?
Lucy - Charisma, Agility, Intelligence
Maximus - Strength, Luck, Endurance
Ghoul/Cooper - Perception, Endurance, Strength
To clear up the confusion about the yellow liquid the Ghoul was taking.
It stops Ghouls from going feral and the reason it was being fed into him at the beginning was because of th etorture method. The guys who dug him up worked for some crime boss who had buried Cooper 'alive'. The yellow substance keeps him lucid in order for the torture to be effective, he can't die so he's just buried alive for days, weeks, months, years... Decades, at a time as long as he keeps receiving the 'anti-ghoul' serum.
Yay, Piper and Boone, I mean Simone and George get to watch some Fallout.
I love that Matt Berry is in it (voice only) too.
A lot of adaptations from source material to live action "look" really great, and pretty close to the original source. I feel the reason Fallout works better is that it does not actually FOLLOW any particular game plot from the franchise. It's a new story with new characters within the (BEAUTIFUL!!) Fallout universe, so there's no complaining about original characters written wrongly, or plot inaccuracies and changes Lol. Jussayin'.🙃
did you notice , the Dr knew her last name.
I think it sadist part is the Lucy who left the Vault will never return.
I found that they really captured the essence of the games, the crazy violence, cognitive dissonance of the characters, funny nonsensical bits and a little bit of heart.
Pedro and Bella have something to say about "will this finally lift the videogame adaptation curse?" Lol
33:24 When playing Fallout 3 I blew up Megaton once. Only once, I liked it too much to do it again. But I did want to see the explosion from Tenpenny Tower. It was worth it!
*The pickles*. Pickle juice in the airway and the open wounds.... horrific, but in Fallout, hilarious. That's the magic!
Please do Star Trek reactions on your channel. 🖖🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿
Couple probably mentioned that the ghouls pre apocalypse last name is Howard. Maybe a nod to Bethesdas Todd Howard. Also, you mentioned arcane but the last of us was also fantastic
It was like rewatching the episodes with a couple of fellow gamers :)
Really glad this didn't end up a Patreon-only series. I thought the season was decent overall. My only complaints were I caught myself saying "wrap it up" quite a bit at times, and I could not stand maximus at all, even later on. He looks 40 but acts and sounds like a Key and Peele sketch where Peele is playing a young and/or nerdy kid. I also guess the finale could have been a bit better or longer but it still lived up to most of the anticipation it built throughout with the twist[s]. Excited to watch the rest of your reactions to this soon!
The thumbs up is just a happy thumbs up according to the artist that designed vault boy and I like that Cooper did it with that intent too but it still pays homage to the communities head canon that’s it’s for the cloud reference with the Marine lines
My initial experience with Fallout was the game "Wasteland" on Commodore 64 that came out in 1988. It was the direct inspiration of the "Fallout" game series. I never thought there would be a show 35+ years later.
Bongo Bongo Bongo, he dont wanna leave the Congo oh no no no no nooòoo!
Bingo bango bongo I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go!
Don't want no false teeth, landlords, golf clubs, I've got my steer! So no matter how they coax him,
I'll stay right hereee!
The dialogue in this is great... and the song choices! Omg!!
Similar to how Geralt names all of his horses "Roach", all the dog companions in Fallout are dogmeat. Except for Rex.
Out of interest, have you guys not seen Last of Us? Or did you not like it? As you mentioned this breaking the curse of game to TV show
oh yeah! we did watch that show, just forgot when we were listing off the top of our heads!
