You are the first person I've seen actually realize it was the ghoul when he says the line that is meant to confirm it is the guy from start. Everyone else already knew it was him just because of the actor and trailer/promo info.
Sugar Bombs is a popular cereal brand in the game's universe, and the item that Lucy injected herself with is called a Stimpak. In the games a Stimpak can nearly instantaneously heal you depending on how injured your character is.
Ohhhhh it’s a cereal ok that’s cute!!! I recognized it as a shin pack after I started playing Fallout 3 for my gaming channel. But I recorded this ep first, funny to watch this back to edit and noticing some of the game references
Fun lore without spoilers for the games or show: - This isn't an adaptation! It's a fully original story in the world of Fallout. Bethesda has confirmed that the events of the series are canon to the universe, alongside the games. - The opening happens in 2077. The games and series take place in an alternate timeline of America that kinda stayed stuck in post WWII American culture, hence the 1950's style of the clothing, cars, and decor. Nuclear power was highly normalized, and eventually replaced coal and oil. Transistors didn't initially take off, so miniaturization of computers and tech didn't happen until much later. That's all you need for background!
Also, the big cultural shift that came with the Vietnam War and Watergate did not happen in this universe, so an automatic trust in Government was the cultural norm. Nuclear fusion, walking tanks and personal robots exist at the same time as CRT black and white TVs.
Funny how you said you're starting with 3 for the games because without getting too much into spoilers, the initial conflict at the beginning has a parallel with Lucy's story, overall different resolution, but similar cause for the player character to start their story
@@LippsReacts I've played New Vegas, Fallout 3 & 4 (#4 is my favorite). I was VERY pleased with season 1. The show pushed all my buttons - well, all my GAMER buttons . . .
The US is kinda stuck in the 1950's era as far as life, clothing, electronics, (the transistor was never invented in 1947 which affected technology greatly.) , music, and culture goes, the world got lazy after 1945 and enjoyed the luxieries of life with Nuclear power, Fossil fuels were still used heavily as well....untill the resources started running out. The Bombs were dropped in 2077, October 23, during the 10 year war with China, The US invaded China to counter the invasion of the Alaskan oil fields by China. Russia never became a threat..No one knows who started launching the Nuclear weapons, no body won that 2 hour battle, the entire world lost the war. The show picks up after the Fallout 4 game, 9 years later in 2296! These games are all in different time periods and different parts of the continent. Different stories, same history and world building. War....War never changes....
22:56 - I loved this scene because Walton Goggins (the Ghoul) and Mykelti Williamson (Honcho) played two of the most iconic characters from my favorite series, Justified.
Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). About the "Wild" cars. The game is set in an alternative timeline, where the transistor was never invented, so everything used vacuum-tubes like early computers. And thus the timeline starts diverging from ours in the year after WW2, and progress is generally much slower. But there is also no Cuban Missile Crisis, Long Island, etc, and no reckoning with its past, so the US carries on in a sort of Truman-Eisenhower Superamerica with nuclear powered cars, etc. But in the 21st century fossil fuels and other resources starts running out, and The Resource Wars starts; where Europe, Africa and The Middle East is torn apart, and China invades Alaska to get the last remaining oil resource on the planet. And in 2077... Boom. And oh yea, the US turns authoritarian semi-Fascist, a bit like Starship Troopers. Anyway, think of the game and series as set in a sort of retro-futuriatic post apocalypse, IE a future as imagined in the fifties, but then add a nuclear exchange of superpowers.
One of my favorite aspects of the game is cruising around the wasteland, blowing away monsters, to a soundtrack of 50's era and earlier pop, jazz and country. My favorite is "Butcher Pete" from the Fallout 4 soundtrack. It really sets the mood for wasting raiders.
the contrast is so Fallout. you will get messed up things like the vault fight if you are playing the radio on your PIP-Boy and keep it on all the time.
As a long standing member of the Brotherhood of Steel, Those people, are not ours. They are from Elder Lyons' chapter far out east in the capital wasteland, in Washington. D.C. Fanatics who barely believe technology is worth recovering anymore. P.S. The Elder Lyon's chapter, is in fallout 3. They are not bad people, at the time of the game, which takes place roughly 20 years before the show. P.P.S. Oh this is past Lipps, oh poor past Lipps. xD
Hi! I loved your reaction. :) I played all the games (including Fallot 76, the mmorpg. I've been playing it since 2019) and this show is a very good adaptation of the world and the mood of these games in my opinion. The strong contrast between what we are seeing and the songs (really wonderful pieces of music) used is also a distinctive trait of the videogame series and I've always loved it. I'm glad that you've enjoyed this episode and I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the session and also your upcoming journey in the Wasteland with Fallout 3! Bye :)
Great reaction like always, So a bit of non-spoiler-y background information that doesn't really get explained in the show: The Fallout world basically diverges from ours in the 1940s. Transistor-based technology (specifically micro-transistors, the things that make computers and any compact advanced electronics possible) is never invented. This is why everything is big and chunky and looks like it was designed in the 50s. Instead nuclear technology advances rapidly and becomes part of many everyday household items (the cars, for example, are all nuclear powered). This is why everything has a 1950s retro sci-fi look (and because it evokes that weird 1950s vintage optimism mixed with the ever present threat of nuclear war). Lucy is modelled on a prototypical player character from the franchise. In many of the games you start out as a vault dweller who has to venture to the surface for one plot contrivance or another (in the very first game it was because the water purification system was broken and you had to go find a part, so the show did a bit of a nod to that). The montage of her explaining her skills is kind of like the character setup where you choose your stats and skills. The syringes you see in the show are Stim-paks which are the game's major source of healing. This is one thing that I like in the show. It treats itself like it is the game. When you use a Stim-pak in the game, it heals every thing instantly. Even broken bones. The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction that was born out of remnants of the US military based around a pseudo-religious, militaristic tech cult. That's probably kind of obvious given their organization, but there is a direct connection back to the pre-war era, and most of their tech is ex-military from that era, just salvaged and maintained. Depending on the game/location (the games are set in several different locations around the US, with the originals set on the west coast, and the newer games on the east coast, and New Vegas set in, well, Vegas) they can range from fascistic antagonists to chivalric allies depending on the chapter. Much like the medieval knights they're based on. The other big faction to get a mention in this episode was The Enclave. Where the BoS are remnants of the US military, The Enclave are the remnants of the US government along with anyone else they deemed worthy of surviving the apocalypse - the best and brightest of science and industry. They're a tad... elitist, as you can probably imagine, looking down on most of the other survivors, and preferring to interact and manipulate events from the shadows or a distance. Unlike the BoS who focus on collecting and preserving old world tech, The Enclave continued to innovate and advance. Stimpaks, the thing Lucy injects herself with, are the main healing item in the game. So you'll see a bit of video game logic here where a shot will cure any basic wound. And unlike a bunch of other video game adaptations, this show is actually considered canon within the same world as the games. So that's just kinda neat. Keep up the good work.
"come back here right away!" I believe that this phrase, shouted by a parent, has never had any success among children, at least since the time of the caves 😄
I'd recommend finishing the show first. The game would kind of spoil the show but I don't think the show would spoil the game. Just an opinion, that I know people will disagree with.

Not just a shin 'pack.
It can be a stomach 'pack, a forearm 'pack, even a head 'pack...

8:27 I guess you could say he showed her the “Full Monty” 😅
OMG HE DID!!!!
I don't know if this needs the *buh dum tiss* or the CSI: Miami "YYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Played all the games, yes I'm old. Love this show, it's definitely Fallout.
I’m so happy to hear Fallout fans are happy with the adaption! That says a lot

"Girl, how do you have time?" Imagine a life with no internet, cell phones, etc. 😂
Also watch Game of Thrones or Lost to see that kind of life.
4:20 “some things never change” - ok, that was hilarious 😂 and yes 👍
Hahaha I’m glad you appreciated that 🤣

Even as a long time fan of the series I was shocked at the level of violence. Perfectly in keeping with the games but really unexpected from Amazon.
Looking forward to taking this ride with you!
Thank you for joining in on this adventure!
200 years and I’m sure they’re all hard pressed to find someone to mess around with that they’re not related to 😂
Loved your reaction. And I love this show. And its already been renewed for a second season🙂
Yay!!!
"come back here right away!" I believe that this phrase, shouted by a parent, has never had any success among children, at least since the time of the caves 😄
Fallout 3 is a great game to start out with. Happy like the show.
This is gonna be fun! 😁👍
The Fallout games are great, so is this serie.
I started fallout 3 (let’s play over on @lippsmacker) and loving it so far! Can’t wait to share the rest of the series with y’all too
I love Ella but all can hear is Jinx.
The sound and music was done by Ramin Djawadi, he also did the whole Game of thrones music and sound.
Hopelessness is a big part of fallout.
Heck even patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. I guess war never change.
War never changes 😵💫
The show would hit harder if you knew the games first. But fun reaction anyway.
You are getting SO SPOILED by your game adaptations! Those two stand ALONE among a sea of butchered corpses. - I LOVE Walt Goggins. he is a treasure.
I'd recommend finishing the show first. The game would kind of spoil the show but I don't think the show would spoil the game. Just an opinion, that I know people will disagree with.
Ur stunning 🥵oops lol Sorry. Lucy Goose is also gorgeous....Meow
Ewww... is right...
As a fallout fan and gamer, I'd highly recommend starting with fallout 4.
