A tad like the Railroad, and the "Do You Have a Geiger Counter?" quote. Something like that, applied to instead workers for H&H.

Thanks for the video; great stuff as usual. However, I think you've missed the Howard Hugh's connection. Hugh's Tool and Die was the foundation for Howard's fortune, which he inherited from his father, who died a schizophrenic. Howard is infamous for going Coo-coo for coconuts in his later years, saving his fingernail clippings, urine and other bodily fluids. Before that however, Howard built up the business with an advanced aviation industry that still makes components for the military to this day. Howard also was involved with the entertainment industry and had a significant role in developing Las Vegas. So, clearly, this in-game story is related to the Howard Hugh's story.
I love this place, I learned how to use the GECK solely to turn this place into my base of operations. I added a vault room, tons of security robots, Guards outside, an armory and even a hatch leading to a personal vault. This place gave me some great memories.
I’m playing the game again for the first time in about 8 years. Whenever I finish an interesting quest, I watch a video about it on this channel to see if I missed anything, and to learn more about the lore behind it all. This channel adds more to my experience, thank you for doing what you do.
Why are the terminals running the Robco Operating System? Surely the employees would know SOMETHING about Robco, since the terminals always display the robco name...
Well , you can't blame them , because RobCo is fallout's microsoft , also , did you notice that RobCo is called RobCo because ROBert House founded it AND because it because it makes ROBots?
I'm late, as usual, but I think it more likely that Anthony House looted the safes before leaving and left behind all the booby traps and hostile robots as a way of (successfully) making sure his brother would never take over the building and never profit from the H&H tool company again.
I love these videos. Even when i play these missions, I always miss something. Side note. There was a intern who stole moon rocks from NASA, brought them home, had sex on them, and then went jail over it.
I bet Mr H's "special hat" (the one that protects his thought energy from theft) is made of aluminium foil. *settles back to continue watching and see if more info is forthcoming*
Absolute adore these videos. Sometimes I go through a phase of finding most content on TH-cam drab and boring, but it never ceases to entertain and sometimes even relax me after a hard day to watch and listen to you guide me through the lore I never got the chance to see on my playthroughs. You just make the best videos Oxhorn, keep up the good work!
All of the traps still being set despite the safes being looted is easy to be explained... the looter had the Light Steps perk. You didn't think the player was the only one leveling up did you?
I've been wanting a lore channel for Fallout forever, then I came across your channel by chance, and I'm so happy. You're like the VaatiVidya of Fallout, man, and I love it. Keep up your stellar vids!
One note to add, the locked briefcase on the cocktail lounge in the Lucky 38 casino could probably be the work of Anthony House's revenge on Robert House since there's C4 explosives and a silenced .22 pistol along with a detonator.
I appreciate this one. A little bit of cut content info, a good side narrative, and decent speculation using all available evidence all make this a solid video. Keep up the good work, man.
Thank you for doing New Vegas lore! I have played NV so many times through, and didn't know this story about H&H tools. I learn something new everytime i watch any of your videos, and i really appreciate that! Keep up the good work :)
Another great one Ox ! I am so grateful that this is part of my everyday life now ( and the last year -'ish ) i have begun on FO1 and 2 for the lore now, and thats thanks to you :)
If it's anything like the real world, "SEC" means "Security and Exchange Commission", which has to do with the issuance and sale of stocks... If Robert House were to use various holding companies to secretly buy a majority of H&H Tool's stock, that's how he could take it over against Anthony's wishes...
Dear oxhorn, may you do a video on the following -ncr -brotherhood of steel (all of it) -the strip -robco -general atomics -the mr handy robot Thank you if you do Anyone else have ideas?
Taco Irvin a video on ceaser's legion. as curious as I am about how they can excuse the shit they do as a faction, I'm holding off on my evil playthrough because I can't stand the legion.
I think that Dr. O from old world blues might actually be Anthony house. In Higgs village he has a picture of house with knives stuck in it. He also has securitrons broken down in there as well. He seems to be the most neurotic and insecure of the think tank. He is their main roboticist and Anthony house ran a company that made high tech robotics equipment. Is ther something here oxhorn?
I just discovered this channel, and I have to say... this truly is extremely high quality content. Every video I've seen so far is well thought out, and very interesting. Thank you so much for uncovering the wasteland!!
The HR rep for H&H tools ( Cindy Lou Kreb ) was likely in Robert Houses employ secretly that's why Robert House programmed a Securitron to have her personality. Hence the Cindy Lou that you give the Snow Globes to when you first step off the elevator.
My best friend had those type of, *Ahem* _interests._ Now I try not to look behind closed doors, but it was hard to not notice her limping the next day.
I'm thinking it's "H&H Tools Factory" because it's the factory floor and administration offices for the various H&H Tool Stores. (They make tools plural. The Store is singular.) It has the company logo, because it's, y'know branding. The loading screen is probably a retail location, where they sell the tools made in the factory and shipped worldwide BA (Before Armageddon).
In the Mod called 'Run the Lucky 38', which adds several underground levels to the hotel/casino, one of which has tunnel system, which includes a small entry/side room, that contains the terminal with 'let me in'-like text, along with a unindentified skeleton remains, whilest the rest of tunnels has two exit points, first to manhole cover into freeside, the other directly connecting with H&H company itself
I love the fact you immediately go back to your "narrator voice", after freaking out about the shenanigans these workers were on.

@@robertgray1811 Weirder things have happen. I once knew of someone who developed a whole alphabet of drawings to tell other ppl in their group stuff.

Makes sense, I was wondering why does jenny need to hide from alan if they all had orgies before and alan has a wife, and who would beleive jennys lochness monster in a church choir lol.
