Ngl I was actually really disappointed that first garbage video was an April fool’s video. The misc and junk items in the games have always seemed fascinating to me, I’m glad someone’s finally looking into it.

I just love how you constantly bring up the fact that you don't want to do this and find it annoying, and expect us to also be annoyed or disinterested, but this is genuinely one of the most interesting videos you've ever put out.
@@helixsol7171to explain what Belial meant, calling the one video radking is annoyed making his "most interesting video" sounds a lot less like a compliment, and more like a jab at his other videos he enjoyed making much more.
It all comes full circle, say you'll talk about trash, lie about talking trash, talk about game trash, get told to talk about the actual trash, and inevitably talk about the real trash. Atom works in mysterious ways.
It is a bit silly that the bottle is destroyed upon the player drinking its contents but that's likely just a balancing reason to keep the player from just constantly reusing bottles instead of scavenging for more, especially for survival mode.
Historically cans were sealed with lead solder instead of the modern clever system set of compressed folds, and I’d imagine it’s another instance of Fallout’s prewar keeping terrible historical practices that we've abandoned/outlawed. I wouldn’t expect a can to have enough to make even a single 55 grain (-weight of jacket) projectile though. I think the trays are actually just (waxed) cardboard, not styrofoam (a petroleum plastic).
Lead from tin cans actually makes sense. Tin cans were originally sealed with lead solder, and this was only eliminated from domestic production in the US (in our timeline) in 1991, and in 1995 from imported goods according to the USDA website.
Dude killed a post apocalyptic bum with money... I mean, there's some underlying irony there, but it's just cruel. The guy just asks for water. Patrick Bateman vibes.
My headcanon for why pre-war money is worth anything was that surely there are some people who think the bills will regain their worth once some form of government will arise, so they might value them in hopes of getting rich in a newly formed society.
A few years ago I got bored and counted all of the sunset sarsaparilla bottles in the HQ and I got around 1000 bottles from inside and the surrounding outside. There's a ton in all of the crates in the loading bay.
RE: the metal pole and dynamite to get into Mariposa... Dynamite becomes progressively less stable over time as the nitroglycerin within it condenses and even leaks out, in a honey-like consistency. Pre-war dynamite could likely be set off just by throwing a rock at it, no real prep needed... It would be harder to move it around WITHOUT detonating.
Common misconception, my dear pastor in Atom, the Junk Jet was cut from our beloved brothers and sisters of Appalachia. There is a model for it in game, but it is unavailable for player use.
Can't imagine being a ghoul that survived the Fall of the Bombs, Societies fall, lived through the years. Just to die after getting beaned in the temple by a jet crazed sole survivor with a tin can flying at mach Jesus.
@@svgarpaws I actually go through the npc vendor caps selling circuits and antiseptics, each sell for a cap without perks. I guess not too useful if you're at max caps though
The confusion and slight pain in his voice during the intro made me laugh. We gotta get this video up in views to complete the joke. Force him to make a trash pt 2
This is only part 2, right? I honestly love this kinda stuff a lot. It's mundane, but like, you gotta remember that not only did someone at Bethesda said, "we need misc junk", then model it, give it value and weight, and give them properties for use in other situations. Now it's giving you a reason to talk about it! :D The american dream
i recently got promoted and haven’t had the time to deep dive into your videos like i used to, i’m really glad i took the time for this one. amazing work as always
The great thing about Pre-War Money and the Sierra Madre is that the casino itself has a 10,000 chip win limit. Since the bills you exchange the chips for are worth 10 caps apiece, this means that the development team pretty much said "here's 300,000 caps you can't (rather, aren't supposed to be able to take) as driving home the message of the DLC, also here's a cool 100,000 caps we totally intend for you to leave with," something which is hugely overlooked by people talking about how much money this DLC gives you.
You should make a theory video on why 200 years later your still able to find junk in containers and why hasn't it really been picked by either scavengers or raiders.
Well... a lot of this is useless for pretty much anything. Sure, some of it can be scrapped for useful materials, but there are definitely easier ways to get cloth than digging through trash to get a burger tray.
...because it's a video game. It would have a detrimental impact on exploration if every single location had already been thoroughly looted due to being 200 years post-war. I've seen people complain about this before, but just think about it. A Fallout with realistic levels of remaining loot would be hardcore survival mode
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem sure, if you're theory-crafting a lore explanation, have fun. I'm just saying, it's clearly just because it's a video game. Bethesda people have talked about the need to _gamify_ certain elements for the sake of fun. Oh, wait, you're not even the comment I was replying to - you're just speaking for them... Well, okay.
I've always wondered about that. Sometimes you'll see a room telling a pre-war story, somehow untouched for 200 years thanks to a locked wooden door. Sometimes its practically in the open. The weird thing is these could easily be justifiable by making their owners/creators more recent, but bugthesda is hung up on the idea of glimpsing into pre-war life.
This is BY FAR your best content to date. Has nothing to do with the items, it's all about your delivery. You compelled us to watch a video on virtual trash!
Patrons demanded it. You made it. I watched it. Well, at least TH-cam is happy. (Actually I did learn a couple useful things about Fallout's economy, and your delivery was amusing, so thanks!)
A lot of modern steel products are "aluminized". They are sprayed with liquid aluminum. Best example I can give off of my head are car exhausts I believe
regarding tin cans vs unrusted tin cans, I have to imagine that it's not that the rusting process removes the aluminium, but that the aluminium is what has prevented them from rusting so far, and that they were two different types of cans to begin with before either of them went through the aging process
Even though watching this whole video was a waste of time and was a waste of Radking's time to make I do appreciate the work that went into this lol. He could've just said "Nah not doing that." or half-assed it but no this is legit and I respect that.
Actually the dryer lint is useful for one thing and wouldn’t necessarily be bad to have around in the post apocalypse. That use is a fire starter, it’s quite useful in that regard otherwise yes it is useless.
Right off the bat “for those of you without eye balls” made me laugh way harder than it should. Thanks for the dedication to the fallout games and your people! Great video as always!
You should make a full alien lore video. I feel like you've mentioned them several times in several videos, but don't have a dedicated video on them. Love your stuff!
Thoughts throughout the video - I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought the Lone Wanderer ate the nuka cola bottle. It's what immediately came to mind and seeing a comment reinforcing that made me laugh - Tenpenny Tower has all of the "Large Whiskey Bottles" because Tenpenny is British, where the preferred Whiskey consumed would likely be Scotch instead of Bourbon. (I am a whiskey drinker) - I hope you do make the "Homemade Sunset Sarsaparilla" recipe as shown in game. Totally would watch that video.
Reminds me of the sonnet Ozymandias: I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
"The Cask of Amontillado" reference in the Castle is actually a double reference. Fort Independence, the Castles real name, has an urban legend dating back to when the fort was being made. Legend says, long story short, that while the fort was still being built, one high-ranking officer killed another high-ranking officer. But the one that was killed was really beloved by his men. So the men captured the killer, chained him up and put him in a wall that wasn't finished and then built it the rest of the way and let him die. That myth is one of the things that inspired Edgar to write The Cask of Amontillado. So putting the wine, and skeleton at Fort Independence is just a massive multilayer reference.
I didn't care for Fallout 4, but what I did enjoy was collecting the "clean" versions of junk, and the other rarer junk items. I would decorate a random settlement with my own room, and the settlers got to have other, plainer rooms. My fave set up was a desk with ammo and a hunting rifle, couple of fancy lads snack cakes, ashtray, smokes, etc etc. Anyone else?
@@jayl5032 That is a really tough question...I had a mod of a HUGE island w/2 places on it that were gigantic I forgot the name...I wasted literal DAYS on them...😆
I honestly think this might be my favorite video so far I never knew about vault 3 and all their nukacola and milk perhaps an Easter egg about the residence drinking pilk truly thought provoking
32:10 Aluminum is widely known for its ability not to rust, so perhaps it has a thin Aluminum coating that kept it preserved. Besides ideal conditions.
@31:30 or so: not all "tin cans" are actually aluminum or, indeed, tin. Most in the 1950s would have been tinned steel, and aluminum cans gradually replaced them starting in the 60s. Presumably, the Unrusted Tin Can is unrusted because it actually has a layer of aluminum, while the rusting kind were just steel cans (with or without a thin layer of tin that has been lost to the 200 years of weather.)
As a junk collector, my favorite items are not in here. The Plunger (my favorite to collect) (don't ask), the Teddy Bear (can't believe this wasn't in the video), Nuka Cola Trucks (so pretty) and the Garden Gnomes (so much story telling done with these guys)
The lead in the cans mentioned at 33:13 is probably a reference to the lead poisoning people got from the lead soldering used to seal up very early canned goods!
absolutely the best The _____ of Fallout episodes AND its almost a full hour long! thank you so much for doing this! i learned SO MUCH about the trash of fallout! some items i didnt even know existed!
29:28 dynamite sweats nitroglycerin over time and becomes REALLY unstable. So setting explosives next to the rubble might not set it off, but sharp application of force (smacking it into the rubble at the end of a pole, dropping it, breathing on it too hard, etc) can. So it does make sense if you understand the chemistry. And Dynamite sweating nitroglycerin was a very common trope in older movies that would have been popular at the time the game was being made.

As a junk collector, my favorite items are not in here. The Plunger (my favorite to collect) (don't ask), the Teddy Bear (can't believe this wasn't in the video), Nuka Cola Trucks (so pretty) and the Garden Gnomes (so much story telling done with these guys)
Im glad this came out today, i have to work a double, and these help me get through work.
The lead in the cans mentioned at 33:13 is probably a reference to the lead poisoning people got from the lead soldering used to seal up very early canned goods!
Best video ever made. We need part 2. The trash of Prey, Trash of Starfield, Trash of elder scrolls.
Ok kids:
DON'T BE TAKING RANDOM SYRINGES FROM STRANGE RADSCORPIONS!
One time.
absolutely the best The _____ of Fallout episodes AND its almost a full hour long! thank you so much for doing this! i learned SO MUCH about the trash of fallout! some items i didnt even know existed!
We don't drop the Nuka Cola bottles. We eat them.
29:28 dynamite sweats nitroglycerin over time and becomes REALLY unstable. So setting explosives next to the rubble might not set it off, but sharp application of force (smacking it into the rubble at the end of a pole, dropping it, breathing on it too hard, etc) can. So it does make sense if you understand the chemistry. And Dynamite sweating nitroglycerin was a very common trope in older movies that would have been popular at the time the game was being made.
Thank you for your hard work! I watched the whole thing and thanked it. Hope the next one is easier on you.
We are really scraping the bottom of the bin here huh?
I would happily watch a 10 hour version of this with the same energy in the background while I game ❤
Happy mothers day! Glad to see an appropriate video celebrating the real heroes - trashy moms
I can't wait for The Trash Of Fallout 2!!!
Get my boys Fission Battery, Big Spoon and Intact Garden Gnome in there!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day/days to make this video
