When i saw the shot of the airship above filly. I remembered a quote from fallout 4. "They dont bring the airships unless its a full scale invasion"
Who’s the main villains of the game specifically
@@Novasigmiadepends on which game we talking about
Cuz there are a lot of factions and they change in each game
@@Novasigmia depends the moral of fallout is just war, war never changes. The first game is a super mutant army, the second is government remnants (the enclave) who use vaultec research and resources to commit genocide across the wasteland, three is the same faction but in a different area of America, new Vegas is actually a war between the ncr and the legion, and four is a war between a militia of wastlanders, the brotherhood of steel, a small spy organization, and a community of advanced scientists that survived the war underneath MIT.
@@Novasigmia also the name fallout has multiple meanings. The fallout of nuclear war, the fallout of conflict, and the fallout of your actions/choices
Every Game has a different faction. The Master Super mutant in 1, the enclave in 2 and 3, The Institute in 4, Mr House in New Vegas but this show has 100% finally proved that the real main villian is vaultec, which all of us predicted and speculated to be,
“He just gets mauled by a deathclaw”
Well, I mean, Quarry Junction isn’t very far from where he is!
Or one wrong turn and he meets Cazadores, they'd make a mess of that exposed face
@@UNSCPILOT Or another wrong turn and he runs into the Courier who has a fatman with hacked in infinite mini nukes.
@@LiquidusSnakeX Hank just turns to the left and sees someone in a Power Armor spammiing mini nukes all around New Vegas
@@XxHrallundeadrogueXx looool
@@LiquidusSnakeX Man of Culture
Situation: There are 14 competing factions.
Vault-Tec: This is ridiculous. We need to make one faction that fits everyone.
Situation: There are 15 competing factions.
They kinda knew that, is the interesting part. They united the competing factions with, what else, competition. They made the end of the world into a game where the stakes are total domination over the north American continent. Obviously ain't working out as planned yet, but House is currently winning if his ending is the canon NV ending, or at least has a head-start.
@BlitzBat313 I'm pretty sure they're not done yet. I don't know all the lore, but I'm sure Hank is looking to activate more nuclear weapons. They'll keep "cleaning" the surface until there's no one left and they can have the goddamn planet to themselves.
Shit my pants when I saw New Vegas as I'm sure everyone did. They knocked this out of the fuckin park man.
i legit jumped out of my seat
I slammed my desk just seeing that tower of Lucky 38. That's just bad maan, they could've at least made an episode or two in NV. But they end it right there. I really hope the wait is really not that long.

@@zahtizfaction same bruh lol I kept pacing😂
@@OmegaDenz96 Yeah see I leapt in excitement at how they could do a great job in Season 2 and I'm fucking GLAD they didn't try to rush cram it into a couple of episodes and do it wrong. It seems like they have some advisors who know the source material really well and not just Bethesda. They have a super uber lore nerd somewhere who says "UMMM ACTUALLY" every time they're about to write something dumb and I love it! Let them take their time man, we don't want them to fuck up the New Vegas part.
So PERSONALLY my wish list is House is still alive meaning NCR, Yes Man and Legion ending didn't happen BUT they can do a House ending that's somewhere in the middle. My personal wish is that Kimball, the Major at the dam (forget her name), Lanius, Caesar and Benny are all still alive. Kind of an in the middle stalemate ending with ELEMENTS of the other endings used so long as they don't contradict. SOMEHOW Caesar cured his tumor for example. But the Brotherhood chapter there wasn't wiped out. Maybe have House having pushed the NCR out or maybe they even left when they heard about Shady Sands, people HAVE TO REALIZE, Shady Sands isn't the only NCR place, it said they had entire states, I feel like the drama about that is coming from Fallout 1 and 2 heads who never played New Vegas. It's just ONE city. Also the dates on the board don't specifically say the nuke happened in 2277 just that the Fall of Shady Sands BEGAN around that time, could have lead to the nuke over time.
I do hope they reveal that House thought Vault-Tec was INSANE and was just playing along with them at that meeting for his own safety, they could even say this HASTENED his plans for the Chip and missile defenses which is why he wasn't fully prepared when he had to fight them. They could make his stand against the missing real dramatic this way. Maybe he had just BARELY gotten into the chamber and hooked his brain into the 38's systems so he didn't have time to prepare or practice, kind of a frantic defend now situation.
I’ve just realised that Vault 31 is the reason Vault 111 from Fallout 4 exists. Like the reason for Vault 111 was to see the effects long term cryogenic exposure had on human beings, probably so the Vault 111 Overseer and staff could feed that information back to Vault 31 so they could properly prepare and calibrate their own cryo pods. And then after the staff station at 111 died, the computers would regularly feed the info from their own cryo pods to Bud at Vault 31 until Vault 111 lost power for good.
Never even thought of this!
I knew there was a connection because of the cryogenics and was wondering why they performed two similar “experiments” but this makes SO much more sense.
@@FearlessGamer27but vault 31-33 are not experiments . They were special vaults
If i remember remember correctly, the Enclave helped create Vault-Tec and the vaults for the sole purpose of using experiments to gather data for a generational starship that would eventually leave with America's political and corporate elite to find a new Earth.
My theory is that those shadow figures watching the Vault-Tec meeting from above were actually the Enclave leadership.
@@ElderGod4exactly. They’re saying 31-33 were more important vaults to Vault-Tec and so they used 111 to test and make sure the cryo pods they were using in 31-33 were safe to actually put their upper level staff into
as the season went on, we see Lucy say "okey-Dokey" to more extreme things each time.
everytime she says that feels like a Save state lol
A huge army charges at them
The ghoul: I take half, you take half.
Lucy: okey-dokey
@@samwise5486 She said "lemme quicksave "
@@jigokuNeko XD
also the way she say it
20:52-20:58 The harsh reality is that it doesn't matter if you have good intentions. They mean nothing if your actions say otherwise. As Cooper would say it
“A good bad guy doesn’t see themselves as the bad guy”
“Even men with the greatest intentions start believing their own lies” - The War Rages Within
IRL, the idea of cold fusion is the concept of harnessing energy from nuclear fusion _without_ either needing or generating significant amounts of heat. It still requires fuel that would be consumed, and thus is not "infinite energy".
In fiction, the term "cold fusion" gets used for all kinds of fanciful means of energy generation.
it could potentially only require deuterium though, which makes it functionally infinite
It's crazy dropping the vault tech dropped the bombs themselves actual 100% confirmation in the show, it's been hinted heavily before but the way the show depicts it is wild and I love it.
The vault tec rep heavily implying he knew the nukes were coming in fallout 4 was a pretty dead give away vault tec atleast knew something
Are we really surprised? The most sane thing they made was the banana cyanide pills. Vault tech is like legit insane.
In Fallout 2 you can get a random encounter with an undecorated Nuke with a Vault tech logo.
You new guys know nothing.
@@eno6712 I did think for a while that vault tec was responsible, but I have never seen what you are talking about before even when I just searched it up for screenshots or something
@@eno6712 It has been implied in many games but Leonard Boyarsky has always said nobody knows who did it, Tim Cain mentioned that it was China who did it but it has never been taken as canon. In trust is no one knows who started the great war, only this show has dropped the semi confirmation that Vault Tec was the cause of it.
Big MT and Robert House…. I was speechless, a lotta the vaults they suggest for experiments are actual vaults in across the games, then the deathclaw skull and showing me the jewel of the Mojave wasteland…
Did Robert House give 'em a vault idea? He sounded like he's not interested in it.
@@v.e.g.athesentientintellig2333 Yeah, he was not into it. He went his own way.
I also learned that the guy who represented Big MT is Frederick Sinclair, the founder of the Sierra Madre casino from the Dead Money DLC of New Vegas.
wait really? thats dope
Hank saw New Vegas from Quarry Junction and that's incredibly cool
The reveal of her mother just killed me. Jesus this show is amazing.
Cooper's wife wouldn't be in Vault 31, and isn't, I read the names. That vault is for Bud's Buds only. She and the other top executives would be somewhere else, perhaps in the New Vegas area?
Most of the Vaults there failed, however, and the rest were pried open from either within or without. Vault 21, for example, was opened by Mr. House and the lower levels flooded with concrete.
Should she be in at the mega vault from the Fallout shorts?
Does not make much sense,she could not be there yet mclean was?
@@galadballcrusher8182 Mclean was low level, he was Barb's assistant executive
Fallout was amazing 😭🔥 I like how the 1st episode was named “The End” and the last episode was “The Beginning” 😂
Omg didn't even notice that
Yup its a nod to the quote "until you write the end you will not truly know the beginning."
31:49 Vegas Baby.
I was a little disappointed that they didn't use the New Vegas main theme or even just a radio song from the game like Blue Moon or Jingle Jangle Jingle.
But if there saving those for Season 2 then that's 100% great. They could easily introduce new characters with each season and change up the setting and style to match the differant tones of the games.
If I don't hear big iron in season two I'm rioting
They should have played Big Iron in the Credit sequence
They did use the theme from new Vegas
i wonder what happen to new vegas, which ending would it be?
@@sindgami7373 I think they'll change a lot from New Vegas. Remember it takes place in 2281 and the NCR is still strong, but the show says Shady Sands was destroyed in 2277. I wonder how they'll fix that
I believe you guys may have been the first channel to complete all 8 episodes. I loved my 2nd run through of the series with you guys. Ive played every game except 76 starting with my uncle handing me a stack of floppies labeled fallout as a teenager and told me to check this game out. It's been a blast!
I don't think Maximus is going to be angry at Lucy. After all, his last memories was her trying to say not to trust her own father, even telling the truth about him, and getting bitchslapped by said father. For all he knows, her father forcibly took her with him
They said the show is canon in the game universe before the show came out. That being said though, it should be mentioned that the Bomb you detonate in Fallout 3 had a Vault Tec logo on it.
The logo on the Magaton bomb was not a Vault Tec logo, compare the two logos side by side and you'll see that they are not the same.
@@elvis5008 True. But there is a debate on whether or not it was Vault Tec. Why would the logo be so similar
@@RogueJyn It looks pretty similar to the old USAF logo from the 1950s actually, but the Vault Tec logo it definitely is not.
@elvis5008 yeah. Kinda looks like it. But if it were air force, there would be a star in the middle. And given how much vault tec had power in it wouldn't be a stretch to assume whoever built that bomb had some vault tec ownership.
@@RogueJyn The reason it's not exactly one to one could be due to copyright, kinda like how the Red Cross on hospitals are copyrighted. Also kinda a dumb move to put your own logo on a bomb that you're going to use for your secret master plan.
As a longtime Fallout player, my initial reaction to 1x1 was disappointment. How very wrong I was. The screenplay is incredible. They took the Fallout world and expanded on it in so many ways, from subtle things involving minor easter eggs to major plot themes and rationales behind them. Wow. This series blew me away, and that's from a jaded, cynical, old gamer. I also enjoyed your reaction and comments - insightful, surprised, genuine. Thank you.
Back in the first episode I thought it seemed like the bombs where just detonating in the city not been dropped or fired in, guess it makes sense now
I mean most of the bombs were from the Chinese, one of the subs that fired them is found in Fallout 4. Vault Tec really just had to let off the first one, and America would launch what it considered to be a counter attack.
Honestly they could even just hack into NORAD and fake an incoming strike, they wouldn't even need a bomb.
@@Philweasel Oh yeah i remember there been a submarine but I couldn't remember what was on it, it's been quite a while since I played fallout 4 as I'm not the biggest fan, don't hate would probably give it like a 7/10 or something but with the next gen update I might give it another go and check out the submarine
We asked for a fallout TV SHOW WE GOT A FREAKING FALLOUT TV SHOW!!!
So the Vault experiments were nothing more than a selling point for these big investors. As soon as she said it, they were all "oh we could do this and that" they were hooked.
All of the companies represented in the meeting are in some shape or form related to this universe’s MIC, and once they heard that they could have a carde blanche on testing their experimental tech right here at home with neither any authorisation needed nor any questions asked, they couldn’t resist taking it 😋
"When you have what it takes to survive here, will you still want the thing you're here for?"
the ‘okee-dokey’ line from the first episode to the last is so depressing😭 u can feel all the shit lucy has been thru bc she was so happy the first time she said it. when she says it in the last episode u can tell her heart is just torn apart like coop’s was when he heard his wife say they were gonna drop the bombs themselves
This also explains so much in the fallout lore as we never knew who dropped the bombs first but we know now
Nope, we still don't. just because vault tec was considering doing it doesn't mean they actually got the chance to do it. just think about it, would she have allowed her daughter to go with her dad to a party if she knew the bombs were dropping?
25 years ha , godammit tod
In Fallout 4 there are terminals which strongly hint at Vaultec starting the war
It is twisted yet makes so much sense that Vault Co. themselves dropped the bombs to profit off an actual nuclear fallout, and it's even crazier how the group of businesses were pitching ideas of what each Vault could do as their main tasks despite hardly any of said experiments actually be helpful for humanity. God I cannot wait for a Season 2
Well, it’s implied, at the end of the day it still could have been any of the major parties, or maybe all of them at once. But still so cool to see this lore filled out.
9:47 the truth that no one really knew. It wasn't the Americans or the Chinese that dropped the bombs. Vault-Tec killed the world all along.....just to make some more money.......WHOS READY FOR SEASON 2!?!?! 😂

i dont understand this though because money and or stocj price is useless in the apoalyose
@@Burke1O1 I think it is more about power for them, and frankly, it usually always about power, so I imagine Vault Co would use their variety of Vaults around the USA as a way of maintaining control and that is what they originally thought would happen however now, after over, 200 years Vault Co's idea is as unlikely as ever and Lucy is lucky enough to have learnt the truth and left the Vault
Which is ironic because you can't earn money if there isnt anything left... Its like having a trillion dollars but on a desert island. They are all just insane and the problem is, there are actually people nowdays with the same set mentality and that's scary.
@@Burke1O1 I don't think they were doing it for financial gain, I think they were doing it because they saw nuclear war as inevitable and knew that if they were able to wipe the slate clean they would be able to make the world again in whatever image they wanted. It wasn't about actual currency, but the power to create whatever they wanted.
It was dope to see Mr. House in this episode
I didn't even recognize him because he was just labeled as RobCo (checked the wiki, didn't realize he founded RobCo so yeah it's him) I am very excited for season 2
@@Kaal_do_Olaak we are extremely unlikely to see him cus, you know...
Yes Man is canon
@@GaleOfPeril How is it? All we see is a fortified Vegas surrounded by desert.
@@alpacalover0 The credit scene goes into the strip and it is an empty ruin..
We're going to Vegas baby!!!!
As someone who's catchphrase is "okie dokie" i approve of lucy.
7:29 I just want to let you guys know that if you decide to play Fallout New Vegas, you should remember this guy.
That is Robert House, CEO of RobCo who is also the de facto ruler of New Vegas at the beginning of the game.
And is probably still alive since they retconned the entire first and second battle of Hoover dam, the Rangers joining the NCR, and the Courier potentially killing Mr. House.
@@eno6712 how did they ‘retcon’ the 2nd battle? They can pick any outcome as canon and proceed from there.
@@eno6712 they didn’t retcon anything
I still love how the ghoul who thanked Lucy for freeing them showed up again here and recognized her, it was such a nice tiny background detail they didn't have to add.
Was watching a bunch of reaction channels because the series was so good. Happy I found this channel tho, you guys are awesome and enjoyable to watch. Time to dive into more of your content :)
As far as Maximus not having armor I’d assume they didn’t bring an extra set. They were on the move. They didn’t go back to their base. You see them taking what weapons they could find in Philly so it’s pretty clear they weren’t expecting to go on a full offensive. When they found out where the head was going they quickly took what men and knights they had available and hurried over to retrieve it
The thing they don't tell you here is that Shady Sands is the city established in Fallout 1 and 2. They HAD Cold Fusion after taking it from the Eden divice called a GEK in Fallout 2. Hank must have destroyed the original one which is why Modova got another one. So she can restart again.
All the reveals in this finale were CRAZY. Ive never played Fallout, so I had no idea about the lore. However, I loved this show, and the fantastic sets, practical effects and acting by Walter Goggin and Ella Purnell were outstanding. The twist that Lucy's dad knew Cooper and was responsible for nuking Shady Sands and killing thousands, including his own wife and Maximus's family, honestly blew my mind. Not to mention the fact that Cooper's wife and the entirety of Vault Co. starting the war, to begin with is so insanely dark and yet sadly incredibly true to how I imagine a lot of governments and businesses would use a nuclear fallout to their advantage. It is also even more grim that you realise all the ideas that the meeting members were suggesting are all tasks that different Vaults are assigned to do in the actual Fallout Games as Vault Dwellers of the game since each Vault is tasked to do some meaningless and unethical experiments that are just a sick game for the Enclave (rich folks at the top). It was really satisfying seeing The Ghoul shoot Henry even if he survived, and Lucy having to kill her own barely alive mother just to stop her suffering as a Ghoul is so tragic, especially when all she wanted to do was to live her own life with Moldaver who actually loved her and give her children a better future. I really hope Maximus uses his power as a knight to do some real good, and I genuinely hope he can reunite with Lucy again because the two of them are too good for this world, and they deserve happiness together, as well as the Ghoul/aka Cooper.
I NEED THEM TO ANNOUNCE A SEASON 2! I especially hope that teasing at the end with New Vegas and the skull of a Deathclaw means a Season 2 is bound to happen.
The stuff about Vault-Tec starting the War has been a fan theory for ages. The original creator revealed accidentally that was his idea for the first 2 games, but we didn't know if Bethesda wanted that to be canon. So hearing that was huge!
Well, you're in luck: Amazon greenlit S2 before the first episode of S1 aired. 😊
Season 2 is already green lit, before episode 1 even dropped
"Is that the planetary thing in LA?"
Bro was sleepin. 😪🤣
I just finished watching the reaction episode 7 this is amazing timing you guys are awesome for this thank you for not making us wait weeks at a time for your reaction
Man, they got a 7500% increase in game sales. I don't think they screwed up as much as you assume.
All fusion is the combination of light elements into heavier elements (anything below iron) to release energy. Typically we think of fusion as needing a ton of start up energy, like our sun powers fusion with its immense gravity and heat. Cold fusion would be some exotic state (questionable on if any exist) that also pass the "break even" threshold of producing electricity. But all fusion works on the conversion of some theoretical mass into energy, namely the extra binding energy. This works for anything below iron, the lighter the better so hydrogen to helium is the most energy release per energy used. The reason i mention anything below iron is the exchange passes there, where it will never release more than it consumes getting above iron. Thats why the fission, breaking apart, of heavier elements also releases energy.
Aaaaaand you're wrong.
Look into the TOMAK reactor in Southerm France, it uses higher elements and is the only feasible form in theory so far.
Your education is retrograde.
I had never heard your guys' channel to this. A random link connected me to your reactions when I was looking for reactions to this Fallout series, and I loved your journey through all eight episodes! I'm a longtime player of Fallout, and I would genuine encourage you all to come together and try Fallout 76 like you talked about. It's great now, and the community on PC is one of the warmest, kindest, and welcoming communities ever seen in online gaming. If you do try it out, please do post your first plays, I'd love to see it!
From what a friend told me there appears to be 2 factions of the brotherhood of steel. 1 is more friendly and helpful towards civilians, and the other is more violent and desires to keep technology out of the reach of the public.
9:50 it took almost 3 decades but we finally know how th e war started
We kind of don't. They always give suggestions about who could have started it, but they never show who actually started it.
It might not have a remaster but they put every Fallout game in a 75% discount.
The remaster info has long been leaked 😛 Likely to start putting them out after Season 2
Watching our Radiation King and Atomic Queen set out with the bestest girl ever (Dogmeat) was cinematic poetry. This show has my heart. ❤
26:57
What is more badass than The Ghoul being such a beast that a man in power armor is backing away terrified of him!?? Now that is showing and not telling
Imagine if the show did the Shaun twist again with Cooper finding out his daughter is the modern-day leader of Vault-Tec. This forces the Ghoul to make the decision to either help redeem his daughter or kill the person he loves the most in the world.
Thu finally said the iconic line “war never changes”
You guys were really miss reading Muldavers smile to Rose and Lucy.
When she meant curious i took it as the mom figurwd out other intetions Muldaver had after she makea the cold fusion or found out the evil method she takes for her purpose and had her turned to a ghoul
My guess is that when the bombs dropped he rushed back home, wife took the kid while he rushed back home to pick up the dog. Wife opposed to the idea as dogs are not able to get into vaults, so she drove off to the unnamed vault leaving Cooper with dog Rosevelt behind. Cooper mostly saw the dog die from radiation, while he alone was suffering from it but in the end he turned into Ghoul, he loved the dog "You are not him" as he said to "Dogmeat". Dogs moslty could not enter cryosleep as pods are not made under them. Still interested if Rose is in cryo in 31 or some other bunker with other "idea" of reestabilishing humanity, since he is like one of the top executives heads so more important than assistants. I really want Cooper to shoot Rose brains out for what she did, then take the kid with him, Lucy and Dogmeat
I don't think that. He and his wife were separated by then. I think he was repulsed by what his wife was doing and it killed their marriage. I think he saw what was happening with the nukes and knew getting his daughter to a pod would be the only way to keep her alive. I think since he wasn't with his wife before, or he attempted to blow up vault-techs spot he was outed as a communist or something to make him lose credibility. That's why he was doing a birthday party at the beginning of the show.
you mean Barb Howard? Rose is Hank's wife
Hell, the writing is great.
I have a feeling Max becomes more "bad" while hunting Lucy's dad next season.
If anything Max and Lucy might switch roles, with her being more willing to shoot first and Max using more restraint.
The thing about Cooper's fsmily.... okay, ex wife was maybe in vault... but his daughter was WITH him when the bombs fell... what happened? They better tell us in season 2...
The code he puts into the cold fusion reactor is the date the first fallout game released 101097
They executed that bomb drop reveal so well. I knew it was them, but my heart sank when it was said. 👍 👌
Can’t wait for S2 in New Vegas. I hope they have Caesars Legion in the next season that would be awesome.
My one gripe with the show is how the brotherhood is depicted, almost campy in a way or silly some of the humor with them just fell flat, their more honorable in the games.
Plus, in fallout lore the brotherhood was actually pushed out of New California by the NCR but here at the end of season one the brotherhood defeated them so that’s different but I don’t mind
Either way I love the show, might watch it again.
On your comment about the depiction of the Brotherhood-that’s sort of the point as the elder here in California seems to be quite a nut & intends to create a split-off faction in order to return to the Brotherhood’s old ways (basically the Outcasts v2.0), presumably discontent with the new approach brought onto them by the East Coast branch.
Also, the brotherhood didn’t defeat the NCR-Hank dropped a bunch of nukes onto their capital & that gave the Brotherhood tremendous advantage to overpower most of the NCR remnants (Moldaver’s group being one notable exception).
@@GaleOfPeril This new Elder is definitely another Elijah. The fact that he's not a former Paladin but is a "cleric" makes me think that that's the Paladin equivalent of a Scribe now and he's like Elijah,
The NCR was wide spread enough that I dont think that the destruction of Shady Sands would've dissolved the entire Republic so Im a little annoyed that it's gone. But I wonder if Maximus' will retry to reboot it in season 2 since he was from Shady Sands
I'm not a fan of it either, but there are some ways it can make sense
Firstly, as of New Vegas it's mentioned that the NCR hold on the Boneyard (LA) is tenuous, so if they began to collapse it makes sense they'd withdraw from there
Secondly, Chief Hanlon and the OSI guy at McCarran mention dried out lakes and an impending famine respectively, so the NCR was already on a downward trajectory
I don't like Bethesda's approach of nuclear spectacle, would've much preferred a slow collapse through overextension, but given the sign saying Shady Sands is NCR's 'first' capital, it's likely there's a larger functioning city up north, possibly The Hub or New Reno
Idk the NCR literally controlled multiple US states so I'd understand them falling apart but not completely apart
@thezeronelite yeah I know that the NCR was on burrowed time but I feel like it would've been a process instead of just dying in a single day like the show suggests.
Like instead of it being totally gone, there would be pockets still remaining. Where the Hub would exist and still consider it to be part of the NCR and so would Junk Town and other major settlements but the areas in-between them could've fallen back into lawlessness and perhaps the Brotherhood of Steel now felt brave enough to take over some territory. That is more feasible than Bethesda just wanting the wasteland to be totally wild again
@@Spongebrain97 yeah, that's the thing with Bethesda
They're not keen on the post-post-apocalypse genre which 2 and NV leaned into
@@thezeronelite yeah Im fine if Bethesda wants a game or tv show where there is no civilization. They've done it in 3, 4, and 76 and so like they dont need to take a rebuilt region like New California and start it over from scratch. There are so many places in America to continue doing what they're doing and it would be fine. Texas, Seattle, New Orleans, Chicago all have blank slates that they can use for a setting
This show is NOT an adaptation of the games. It IS its own story but is faithful to the lore of the games!
New Vegas baby! I screamed when that shot appeared lol Really enjoyed your reactions. You guys got a lot right! Regardless I think this show has been fantastic. I can’t wait for the next season. This captured the feeling of the games so well and the new story and characters were fantastic ❤
Fusion is a reaction where you combine atomic nuclei to make a bigger attomic nucleus, such as hydrogen + hydrogen = helium + some extra energy.
However it's really hard to make them combine. It happens inside stars. We can make some hot fusion happen but it's so inefficient that it wastes more energy to unusable heat than it creates.
Hypothetical cold fusion hopes to find a way to avoid the initial massive energy input, thus being much easier to achieve and not needing a massive high power machine for electromagnetic plasma containment and compression. Then we could actually extract energy and not have heaps of waste heat.
Wed also be turning hydrogen into helium. We've got lots of hydrogen but helium supply is limited cos it floats away.
Wrong. And it doesn't surprise me Givin your science denying profile picture. In California for a split second they got the energy to power the entire US for a year. But it's not stable yet. In Southern Franxe they have the TOMAK reactor which uses Heavy ionic metals in the 2 period bars thar are seperate from the rest on the table ( forgot their names I'm baked atm ).
Basically yeah the fusion cores are very powerful batteries but they run out of energy but cold fusion can make clean energy that is basically infinite
I was about to say you guys should record a play through of fallout 4 and as I opened the comments you guys shouted out the gaming channel lol
I shall eagerly await your playthroughs of Fallout games. You got a sub and I'll watch while I do my Tale of Two Wastelands super modded playthrough (put some badass stuff on my game) but the main mod COMBINES Fallout 3 and New Vegas as one game. Suggesting the Lone Wanderer from Fo3 is ALSO the Courier from FVN (obviously non canon but fun as hell)!
Shady Sands was in one of the games as the Capital for the New California Republic before it moved to a new location.
Episode 1 the rich dude at the beginning says that the "ghoul" has to pay alimony. So i guess when the bombs dropped they where separated based on what he had learned through the listening device.
the cutting for the hank/vault tec reveal was perfect. Good mix of mystery and subversion.
Wished I could go back to the time when I thought Hank was innocent and watch this over again.
I don't think I've ever seen a group of people make this many wrong predictions before
From Wikipedia:
Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature. It would contrast starkly with the "hot" fusion that is known to take place naturally within stars and artificially in hydrogen bombs and prototype fusion reactors under immense pressure and at temperatures of millions of degrees, and be distinguished from muon-catalyzed fusion. There is currently no accepted theoretical model that would allow cold fusion to occur.
I know you said you don't need it, but that's literally just what cold fusion is. Room temp nuclear power.
26:10 I initially thought somehow Barb may have purposely took Janey from Coop when the bombs fell, leaving him out of the vault. But now I'm thinking that Barb may have kept the divorce thing under wraps from Vault-tec (I guess since she's a top-level executive) so they didn't get too suspicious of Coop and assasinate him. But the bombs dropping became an oppurtunity to do that, they seperated Coop from his family to get rid of him. Who knows. 🤷♂
Great reactions as always for such a phenomenal series! Can't wait for Season 2!
Ah shit, guess we goin' back to Vegas, baby
They actually just did the show perfect. They explained the lore perfect. The characters were perfect. The comedy and gore was perfect. This is the best adaptation ever and its not even close.
Using the ghoul as the pre war events and getting lore, bits/pieces on why he hates vault tech so much. And showing what he was really looking for at the end there!)
They explained lucy's mom and dad perfect. Just enough bread crumbs to make you think until the big reveals.
The brotherhood and NCR were awesome to see (even tho the NV fan boys are bitching about the timelines, BUT! New vegas is in the new season thats coming!!)
And of course the ultimate plans of vaults 31,32,33 plus them mentioning all the other plans the big companies and buyers had for all the other vaults. also showing ROBERT HOUSE!
Also the fallout 4 parallel of the ghoul being out of cyro but his family is not yet? Due to wife being an exec? So we got fallout 3 leaving the vault and finding your dad story and we got FO4 leaving the vault and finding your family story? (Kind of lol) We also got our returning fresh water to the capital waste land moment with the power to LA
10/10. This show has the potential to be GoT, TWD levels of greatness and fandom.
The best thing about it is that it’s not an adaptation but, rather, an entirely new story told within the universe & one that rapidly advances the world building & events (much more so than Fallout 4 did if you ask me 😜)
IMO Lucy’s side of the story definitely does start out very similarly to FO3 & 4, but the twist of her dad being a g-nocidal sociopath takes it to a much higher level than the whole Institute plot.
P.s. you mentioned TWD at the end there and I just can’t avoid mentioning how far it’s fallen from grace. I’ve endured all the seasons and spin-offs & never stopped being a fan, yet I can say that the level of greatness seen here on Fallout was last seen on TWD somewhere around season 5 or 6.
Cold fusion would be the process of creating a nuclear fusion reaction by using much less energy than a normal nuclear fusion reaction would require. Normal nuclear fusion usually occurs inside the cores of Stars and you can imagine how hot and how much pressure is there so you could then imagine how much energy we would need to recreate this effect on Earth. So in a nutshell, Cold fusion would be an incredible.
Too bad "no goverment" would want to release it into public. They would lose control and money that comes from coal or atonimc power plants. Cold fusion is free energy...reason why "Free" is not in any goverment textbook. They would take the tech for themselfs, no more electric bills to pay for their mansions...let the poor pay for power.
You think feral ghoul Mom recognized Lucy? She looked like she was desperately trying to communicate with her but was just too far gone.
Fusion Cores in the FO universe is basically compacted nuclear energy, but not cold fusion (yet).
And here... we...go~ 00:27
Cold Fusion is just the idea of fusion energy at room temperatures, instead of surface of the sun heat.
Also violates the law of thermodynamics unlike regular fusion ( modern TOMAK reactor in Southern France ) and is a fantasy .
Did anybody notice in the scene where the ghouls wife is having that big meeting, before she wrangles everybody together? She looks up and there’s somebody standing in a room looking out through glass down at them.
Does anybody know who that might be? I’m going to assume the maker they’re going to find.
Vault tec CEO/founder?
@@greenkidd529 probably. I wonder who will play them!! 😃
I fucking love this show
The city at the end was definitely New Vegas.
Im not a player or anything, i just watched the credits this ep and it showed the city with the "New Vegas" board😂
I want to see Hank (Lucy's dad) use that deathclaw skull as a make-shift raider helmet. It's a very fallout thing to do.
I noticed another name on the list of reactivated Vault Tec Employees, Stephanie the blonde girl who is now overseer of 32 she’s also pre war
Maximus wasn't a Knight during the raid. He's back in the squire black/grey jumpsuit
As soon as i seen the female ghoul sitting there i knew it was going to be her mom
Cold fusion is pretty much just a nuclear reaction but at room temperatures. That's probably the most basic way to put it. Being at room temperatures means very safe unlimited energy pretty much.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of your new Vegas play through, I’d be down to watch you start over if that’s what you end up doing.
Bruh the ghoul is my favorite character in this series, he just kicks some ass 😂😂
I want him dead already, he's a bad person I mean not a bad actor or something
Funny thing about the fallout universe we dropped the bombs 200 years ago and still got some nukes hanging around to throw
I wish they had super mutants in the show. I thought the serum Thaddeus was injected with was FEV, but who knows. Still great show.
I want to see mutants and mirelurks.
Same but since the new Vegas strip appeared at the end, I hope they add geckos and nightstalkers as well as cazadores, lakelurks and not only the other factions in NV but the kings and the followers of the apocalypse should also appear in season 2.
Pretty sure they teased super mutants in Episode 2 during Wilzig's escape from the Institute. And be real; they had to hold something back for Season Two, didn't they? Me, I'm glad they kept something on the shelf.
Hopefully in season 2 with a bigger budget we see more stuff from fallout like this, including even more fallout weapons and stuff.
In case you guys wonder about ghouls, they essentially are immortal. That's why Cooper has been alive for so long.
@@RealHerTModethen how come the guy in e7 who took the meds from the vendor healed his injuries even an arrow through the throat. Is he not turning into a ghoul like maximus said?
Fun fact, you can physically go to Shady Sands in Fallout 1 and 2, though its decades earlier than the show, back when Shady Sands was just built and slowly thriving
OK Fallout fans...I played F3, F4 & NV...I recall it's been HINTED that Vault-Tec may have dropped the bombs or induced the situation to cause it, but was it ever actually said? Makes so much sense, especially combined with the vault experiments, although the way it was shown in this ep...so f*ckin' diabolical. And so good!
Mr house is the owner of rob tec meaning he was in the meeting about the nuke launching and the story goes on as normal
This episode was like a kick in the gut. In a good way.
Allota the new games follow the “great game”, in fo3 you meet a spy from before the bombs drop, and the enclave is remnants of the US, love how they set up that vault tec basically started the game as a concept to compete in the market.
The main difference between cold fusion and nuclear fusion energy is in the conditions required for the reactions to occur. Nuclear fusion needs extremely high temperatures and pressures but cold fusion, if it were possible, would occur under much less extreme conditions, potentially even at room temperature. Conceptually it is a really cool energy source but in actuality it is basically impossible with today's technology and research. - A guy who studied nuclear fusion for two years in college
This show is proof that you can make a good video game show IF YOU CARED ENOUGH
The lightbulb thing is without contxt. The old one last longer but it is very dim, they replace a better one but shorter lifespan.
Cold fusion is the theoretical technology to have nuclear fusion at room temperature. It was abbandonned as a concept a long time ago as impossible tech, at least with what we know of physics.
I'm wondering if we get to see what happened to the guy who supposedly gets turned into a ghoul when he just ran after giving max and lucy the head.
Like do we take it as canon that he'll turn into a ghoul or is the thing he took by the vendor turns him into something much different.
Idk much about the fallout lore but i didn't know that people on the surface could make something that turn people into ghouls.
As some earlier comments pointed out, the effect he’s under is equivalent to the in-game perk called ‘Ghoulish’ which gives you some benefits of being a ghoul without drastically changing your appearance.
The car that ran on water was actually a hoax, the guy was a scammer that had been sued by his own investor shortly before he died
And i to believe that is New Vegas in the end. In the end credit scenery presentation we see its New Vegas as there is a big sign saying 38, that is 'Lucky 38', also the sign for the 'The Tops'; its literally the Strip (not exactly like in the game) and a big sign in the end saying 'Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas'. Judging by the streets, the buildings and that we see an NCR aircraft and the Strip's Gate destroyed; i dont think its doing well. Maybe a result from the destruction of Shady Sands? or something else caused its downfall? Or maybe its foreshadowing the destruction of New Vegas.
Wait, there are NCR aircraft?? Could it be that the NCR ending is made canon after all?..
