- Whether they are saving our lives or ruining them, chems have always played an important role in the Fallout games. Lets take a look at the addictive ones in this video, figure out what their real world counterparts are and dig into the lore for interesting tidbits.

I love how the controversy surrounding Jet is over its canonical consistency rather than the fact that it's literally meth
Not to mention that "canonical consistency" is basically getting swindled by a rich kid bastard in a city full of rich bastards. Are people actually this stupid?
Funny, that.. Sort of like TH-cam getting angry over saying "Nazis" in a video about WW2, but being fine with talking about "Super Soldier Drugs"
Jet is just the wonder drug that the Wasteland really, really doesn't need.
I hate meth but irl people don't put it in inhalers. So I think of jet as something else specific to making you feel like time is slowed. Maybe it's inhalers filled with nitrous oxide. 🤷♂️
The nazi chocolate is an example of early meth use irl.
@@theodorebear6714 Amphetamines have been used as decongestants for about a century now. They came as inhalers, and still do to this day and are definitely abusable. Fun fact, a ton of other countries supplied their soldiers with amphetamines during WW2, it wasn't just Germany. Japan was the first country to synthesize methamphetamine, which is the most commonly known soldier stimulant during the war period. Recreational usage was very popular during the war, even among citizens. Before the effects of abuse became apparent and they started putting drug laws into place, they even marketed the shit to housewives as a daily energy boosting supplement. Another fun amphetamine fact, North Koreans as of late are on a steady diet of methamphetamine, both to curb boredom and their hunger issues I would assume.
Cow shit fumes > methamphetamines
"I got a better mic"
"Yeah that's good... Sounds nice"
*Takes off Power Armor helmet*
"Oh thank God"
I was wondering how bad his original mic was lmao
Lmao! 😂
I can’t BREATH IN THIS THING!
innit, lol
What's the matter, bon't like reverb?
Fun fact, an antioxidant in red wine can increase resistance to radiation. This antioxidant is called resveratrol. So RadX does have a minor real world stand in.
Sooo the MC's are just getting trashed before going into irradiated areas
@@iamthereddemon20 I mean, theoretically it could help you last a little longer, but it wouldn’t make you immune.
My headcanon is that radX is iodine tablets
Vodka is not only for getting hammered. When you dive into The Zone and have to put up with radiation.
potassium iodide pills are more likely to be the real world counterpart. They flood your thyroid with way too much iodine and prevent radioactive iodine from entering your thyroid. In real life it lasts about 24 hours before it gets completely absorbed, so I'm assuming RadX is so shortlived for balance reasons.
I always thought Mentats were a rip on Mentos. They used to have the ads where people would eat Mentos and then solve problems and get themselves out of situations; kind of like increasing intelligence and perception
This is canon now
Yeah I remember those commercials too and had assumed the same. Looks like we're from the same Mandela effect. Or are you Canadian?
I think it's a reference to Dune
@@Potacintvervs Yeah - specifically on Spice, the cognition-boosting drug that tints its users eyes blue, I think
@@1440cartoonboy Yeah. Long time users of spice that don't die become Mentats, basically superhumans who are so smart that they sometimes can see into the future.
That is some good quality voice work!
Do I sense a potential Synonymous/RadKing collab??????? :D
FR we NEED a collab
Thank you that means a lot! Love your content.
100% need a collab

"Injection seems a but hardcore for beatniks and intellectuals"
Heroin was quite popular among beat poets, jazz musicians and beatniks back in the day. Just saying.
Ah someone did beat me to it- it was also popular among intellectuals and higher class folks, but was usually snorted
@@hungryepicboys8895 or smoked
Correct. People have been injecting cocaine and or heroin for decades
@@coagulatedguy1421 smoking heroin is rather new isn't it? I know smoking opium has been around for over 100 years but that's very unrefined compared to H
Thank you for pointing this out.
The prevelance of chems in prewar America also has interesting implications on the lore of the American commonwealth. Seeing as hoe all these drugs are nicely packaged with colorful labels a lot might have been over the counter and readily avaliable, most Americans seemingly using drugs to escape the reality of how terrible life was leading up to the eventual nuclear Armageddon.
Hey that sounds like America now. Im living in fallout...... fuck
Whelp have a personal goss rifle that you can buy (anvil-1) so what’s next? My moneys on power armor
You know considering the book chute to destroy “seditious material” it would make sense to stimulate the populace with drugs
@@jayhollows5729 Australia is pretty much fallout in real life but instead of radiation you have animals and everyone else trying to kill you. That and lots and lots of people doing meth and heroin.
@@falloutfart9917 love the username. I imagine they are f***ing heinous considering all the 100s of year old canned foods being eaten
My current favorite thing about chems in fallout is that in new vegas, Doctor Mobius from old world blues has some insane drug use and you can score a ton chems from his dome, mostly mentats, which you can get around 40 or more if you look hard enough.
Their mentat obsession has made them a little... quirky. I’m glad though because old world blues wouldn’t be the same otherwise!
@@Rad_King that's true, old world blues is one of my personal favorite dlcs, right with honest hearts.
After the whole dlc I had over 90 mentats alone, tbf I have a very high luck haha
You don't even have to look that hard. They're all over the floor in one room.
DeLiCiOuS mEnTaTs !1!1!
Theres a problem with the Jet Controversy that most really dont like to bring up or even realize to begin with: even in Fallout 2 it contradicts itself with Myron inventing it when one character states she's been addicted to it for a time longer than he's even been alive
Shot in the dark: Myron is lying and bragging about his achievements. He reverse engineered jet from prewar samples, and nothing more. It sounds on brand for him seeing as he has no morales, is incredibly narcissistic, and wouldn't shy away from telling people how awesome he is.
Chris avalone clarified that the statement from that character was an honest mistake and justified it as her being so brain muddled from decades of severe addiction to know what she's talking about, reiterating that myron invented jet
@@sinitall decads. Myron is not even 3 years old.
@@Andrewza1 see all Myron did was recreate it in a more addictive form so it has different affect on the body
@@MistaOppritunity "It's Myron! Myron, Baby! Myron!"
Wow after i stopped using chems my hearing really got better, u sound so different RadKing
Or maybe you took too much?
@@Rad_King 🤔
Damn you look like j pop idol takumi fujiwara aka tofu boi
@@iuopunderstandyourjokes9914 im his missing twin.
@@Not_Revelant dude...
As someone who is trained in psychopharmacology, I can give my informed opinions as to what real-life drugs the _Fallout_ chems are, or might be, based on.
3:15 - Calmex is most likely based on alprazolam, which is a benzodiazepine that is prescribed for severe anxiety disorders, such as agoraphobia, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
4:15 - Daddy-O might be based on racemic amphetamine, specifically Benzedrine. Benzedrine was popular amongst beatniks during the 1950s. The racemic amphetamine was obtained from Benzedrine inhalers, which were intended to be used as a nasal decongestant. Beatniks would often wander around downtown streets in the middle of the night in a haze colloquially known as "Benzedrine indifference".
5:23 - Jet is referred to in-game as a "meta-amphetamine". In real-life, there are no such things as "meta-amphetamines", but when considering Jet's effects, we can reasonably conclude that pre-War Jet is methamphetamine. Post-War formulations invented by Myron come from brahmin dung, so perhaps brahmin dung has psychostimulant effects. Other variations, such as Ultrajet and Jet Fuel, are probably chemical analogues of regular Jet.
8:34 - Day Tripper could be based on any number of real-world psychedelic hallucinogens. I believe you are right with your opinion of it being psilocybin.
9:38 - Hydra's main ingredient comes from an unknown species of cave fungus, which may have some sort of naturally-occurring or radiation-induced anesthetic properties. Its effects remind me of ketamine.
11:09 - Med-X is canonically morphine. Morphine is an opioid derived from opium poppies, which are known for their analgesic and sedative properties when used clinically and their euphoriant, soporific, and anxiolytic properties when used recreationally.
12:16 - Steady is a tough one to speculate about. You suggested that it could be some sort of muscle relaxant (perhaps cyclobenzaprine), but its effects-drastically reduced gun sway and higher odds of hitting one's target when aiming-are more in line with ergogenics, which are performance-enhancing drugs sometimes used in sports. Alternatively, it could be an antispasmodic, which reduces muscle spasms and tremors, leading to less weapon sway.
13:22 - Rebound has a similar effect as Jet, so it is probably an analogue of methamphetamine.
14:23 - Mentats are either methylphenidate (Ritalin) or racemic amphetamine (Adderall), both of which improve cognitive performance and increase concentration. It could also simply be caffeine, which is a wakefulness-promoting agent and an analeptic. However, because the pre-War principal mentioned in the video felt that he needed to conceal the administration of the chem to school students, it is more than likely based on a scheduled substance, such as the aforesaid stimulants.
17:17 - Turbo's janky appearance and psychoactive effects lead me to think that it is based on some sort of cannabimimetic or synthetic cannabinoid, such as Spice or K2.
18:25 - Psycho most definitely fits the profile of a synthetic cathinone, seeing as how it simultaneously causes rage and analgesia. You say it is stated in one of the games as being an amphetamine, but I'm not aware of this ever being stated or implied by any of the games.
20:36 - Voodoo might be influenced by N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is a naturally-occurring hallucinogen in many animals' brains, including humans. Perhaps Voodoo is siphoned from animals' brains, which correlates with the in-game descriptive text.
21:43 - X-cell's futuristic appearance, amazing psychotropic effects, and research history make me think of some kind of nonexistent "super-drug". (The U.S. government has experimented with "super-drugs" for soldiers and pilots in real-life.) It is likely artificial or synthetic. Your explanation of epigenetics is a reasonable answer.
Fascinating!
Thanks for reminding me I have Benzedrine, it’s great for when I have a sinus headache.
This is a little thing, but considering Turbo's appearance of being a spray can with Jet attached, and the use of turpentine to make it, I think it's more likely that Turbo is just a really nasty cross between amphetamine and a toxic aerosol like air duster. Air duster causes such severe brain cell death and intoxication when huffed that I think the slowed time effect makes sense.
Cal-mex could also be a barbiturate considering the prewar timeline, but you could equally be right being Librium was developed in the mid 50s.
Would be great if turbo was cannabinoids to naturally get high and relax lol
I like how the falloutnv drugs look a lot more DIY and I think it makes sense people would be making all kind of weird and wacky drugs
About Jet being in a pre war vault, Myron didn’t invent jet, he just found a way to make it from Brahmin dung. Jet IS a prewar drug. You can. Call him out on this in fallout 2
Explains why myron's jet has a far worse addiction than the pre war version, since the ingredients are slightly different.
I don't know why people trust the word of that little shit anyways
@@AWESOME2715 even some woman in f2 says he was smoking that before that lil shit was ever born
Even in Bethesda's Fallout 4, it requires raw fertilizer to create Jet.
@@UncleAnaesthesia Likely the post-war jet people know, and pre-war jet is likely made of the same chemicals as post-war jet. Likely that people just named it jet since it has the same effects.
That new mic is so pristine!
It is, I noticed instantly. Was acceptable to me before, but its better now
Huge difference and I owe it to you guys!
hope he gets way more views now. it was a struggle to listen and hear before
@@Rad_King What was the new microphone that you went with. Could you list your setup in the descriptions please and/or on your channel. As well as the recording/editing software?
Enjoyed the video, loved that I got to learn more about the drug lore extensively. Good work Raddykingboi
@@Rad_King I would also really like to know what the mic is.
Jet doesn't exist in the current version of fallout 76. I believe its in the game files but never implemented. Probably because slowing time down in a multiplayer game is not possible. Also with things like canned coffee existing giving an AP boost so it's unnecessary.
FO76 takes place well before fallout 2, when Jet was invented.
@@jjverona8249 jet shows up in prewar areas like vaults. Jet is prewar but the recipe was lost to time till Myron reinvented the drug.
Basically Bethesda retconed its history.
Payday 2 has a client side slow down mechanic when you go down and doesn't really affect multiplayer gameplay that bad
@@tallcollin27 I didn't know that. I've only played that game once or twice.
@@phr33k44 Ooo good job finding that out I had no idea! (Meant the pre-war Jet part)
Jet that slowed time always seemed more like a whip-it
Pointing out the difference between poison and venom isn't pedantry. It's factual, and should be wider known.
Looking forward to part two.
Person after my own heart.
More information more better
In a 10 minute video it would have been, in a 20+ one it's nescesary.
Correct.
Much like this comment something can be true and pedantic at the same time
I always assumed that Myron simply found a pre war recipe for Jet, possibly modified it and simply lied about coming up with the original recipe
Veeeery likely.
Even Fallout 2 kinda makes this seem to be knowing one person says she's been addicted for an amount of time thats longer than Myron has even been alive
If you have a high intelligence character in fallout 2 you can accuse Myron of exactly that, of course he denies it but he’s full of shit. I always assumed it must be true so the mention of jet being around before him never bothered me.
That sounds like something that piece of shit would do lol
i cant believe people think anything out of that little shit is true
The only Jet I need to get through the Wasteland is Joan Jett and the only tracks you'll find on me is the 8-Track Tape I'm packing of her greatest hits!
Ah there’s a blast from the past.
8 track, lmao
Yeeeeeaaaaah I'll just take the jet lmao
@@shotgun3628 Well, 8 tracks resemble holotapes. They're bulky as fuck, audio quality isn't grand, and they have a very limited play time.
As a walking Chem dump in all the fallouts I play, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work RadKing!
You know what they say. If you ain’t tweakin, you ain’t tryin.
The day tripper could've been like valium. That was a yellow pill and super common in the 50s n 60s and docs prescribed them alot. They made you zoned out n happy.
Valium is still widely prescribed you might be thinking of barbiturates which benzodiazepines like valium replaced
Absolutely, yeah. "Daytripper" is likely a sideways allusion to another '60s pop rock tune, "Mother's Little Helper", about the perceived heavy prescription of this class of drug to housewives in the mid-20th century.
This I found interesting.. When used, colors become more saturated and lights become slightly brighter. This visual effect, combined with the inhaler intake and slow-motion perception, makes the Fallout 4 depiction of Jet similar to the drug Slo-Mo from the 2012 film, Dredd.
They're so similar I use the names interchangeably.
New mic sounds amazing. You’ve got a great channel coming up here.
Screw the negativity. You’re doing awesome.
It’s the internet, it’s to be expected. Thanks for the kind words!
@@Rad_King to be honest the previous mic never bothered me, but I don't go looking through comments very often so I'm sorry if people gave you grief about it.
Even tho I'll miss the charm of the old mic, this new quality is great!
You and one other person!
Just kidding, but I hope the new mic doesn’t keep you away.
@@Rad_King I always look forward to the next vid!!
Great improvement, keep it up. Found this channel a few months ago and I'm loving it
That’s great to hear. I have lots of plans for the future :)
Time to do some chems while watching a video on chems.
The way Atom intended.
Amen, brother.
22:01 I like your speculation on what it could be (combination of chemicals, epigenetic drug, etc.) but the blue ridges and brushed metal cylinders reminds me of the alien biogel/epoxy/power cells from Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta.
The fact that they were in the "prototype" stage, as well as the fact that we know so little about them, could definitely hint at an alien origin, or at least an alien design/inspiration. It would not be the first time that the government was "inspired" by appropriated alien technology ("Alien technology was the basis of many of the Enclave’s more exotic and impressive weaponry and robotics," from Fallout 3's official game guide).
Oooh I like this quite a bit actually. Being a prototype would make sense too. The Government basing tech off of alien technology has a precedent with the mesmotron.
you did use the "hear ye, hear ye"! haha
edit: also, nice new mic
I try and follow through for you guys :)
Psycho doesn't increase damage resistance in NV. Its 25% damage increase.
Same in Fallout 3.
Also fallout 4
The more you think it just doesn't make sense. How does taking drug increase the damage you dealt with firearm ? I guess it more justified in melee combat but with guns or explosive it make no sense.
@@leitodamien3835shoguns are scary, high shotguns are scarier
@@leitodamien3835 The most plausible explanation is that you aim better, so you hit weak spots more easily... I guess.
Daytripper might have been qualudes (not sure how that is spelled).
This is a great point! Thanks for pointing that out, I think you’re right.
"I know some of these can run a bit long"... That's why I'm here 😁 they're such a worthwhile watch, I always come away with some new bit of lore or real-life factoid. Mic sounds rad (pun...possibly intended?) by the way
Thank you. That is the number 1 reason why I make these videos. I love learning and love getting the information from my research out there- so you are in the exact right place!
Thank you for making these King!
Chems have gotten me through times where I didn’t think I was gonna survive. Psycho and jet together rules
I mean even if the Jets are the same, there's no reason to think people weren't abusing meth pre-war (maybe it had a different name and probably had different ingredients) and then the little shit in FO2 realized the same thing pre-war people did(meth=addictive and inhaling is a good delivery method) and made a post-war version using different ingredients to create a similar effect. If this is the case it makes sense for a character only familiar with the post-war version to see the pre-war one and call it by its post-war name.
I also want to say anyone getting mad about Bethesda retconning needs to look into the history of the games. Black Isle retconned in-game several times and on daily basis on their old forum.
I mean 2 barely got released before they started reconning the "Vault-Tec was controlled by the Enclave and therefore they were responsible for the vaults" thing in a forum post (yet I see people getting angry and blaming Bethesda for that all the time).
And then there's the whole cat thing, where cats are mentioned as very much being a thing in FO2, yet FNV(which was made by a lot of old Black Isles guys) claims they've been extinct since before 2(and once again its Bethesda who get blamed for retcon when all they did was undo a retcon).
This is just to name a few, don't get me wrong Bethesda has retconned, but people acting like Black Isle was some sort of infallible game company with a solid never changing, never retconmed lore is laughable. Black Isles were the kings of video game retcons in a way Bethesda couldn't even dream of.
Don't forget about the vault 13 canteen. Your character can't stop sipping from it.
I'm so glad you brought up the venom vs poison point, because i was getting heated lmao. Also, steady sounds like Herion to me.
Hey! It's probably been pointed out already, but psycho doesn't affect damage resistance, at least not in fnv or fo3, instead It's a 25% boost to damage output.
Ever since I've found this channel I've been pretty hooked on it. Love the topics you choose and how well you present them. Please keep it up man! 👍
Thank you! There are more to come and more changes I hope you guys like.
Unusable weapons of fallout at some point?
Edit: such as prop, stationary, or destroyed weapons or others that are in game files but hidden
That’s one I’ve never thought of. I wonder what I could find...
@@Rad_King. New Vegas would probably be gold mines for that kind of stuff. Both games were rushed to all hell.
So glad this man is back to uploading
It’s good to be regular again. And making videos.
8:00 My guess is that people call the same drug in different regions. (Kinda like "elevator" in US, "lift" in UK. Or people in one region call it "soda" other region call it "pop") Since Turbo from Fallout New Vegas and Jet from Fallout 4 have the same effect of slowing down time, I guess that they are the same drug. People from different regions call it differently.
lift; i want some lift hell yeah
Hell yeah, give me some Elevator!
I'm glad to see a smaller creator taking up the mantle on making highly accurate lore videos. Many of the larger creators for lore have died down or stopped all together, so I'm excited to see future videos from you. Good work man, keep it up
Great video I’ve spent so much time reading up on Fallout lore but I always end up learning something I don’t know from your videos. Keep up the great work!
It makes me really happy to hear this, it’s is why I make videos!
Thank you,I have thousands of hours in these games and simply avoided most of the chems entirely because I didn't truly understand them and how they relate to real life chems. This actually answered the what,who,and why as well as when. Thanks again!
Man, it's so great to see more Fallout lore TH-cam's popping up. Keep up the great work, man!
Damn, you sound great, with the new mic
Big ups from Kenya! 🙌🏽
Thank you. Love to see places like Kenya represent!
waiting for laser weapons pt. 2 (fantastic video btw, love your new mic, and learned a lot of lore)
It’ll be coming. I usually don’t do part 1 and part 2 back to back so I don’t tire people out on a certain topic.
@@Rad_King i personally would like them together. it keeps things neat and tidy.
keep up the good work, just found your channel and will definitely keep listening.
Just found your channel and you honestly have the start of something really good! I love the fact you're going into the real world equivalents of these chems and I cannot wait for Part Two!
I really enjoy your lore videos. I've played fallout for around 12 years so I didn't think there was anything I could learn, I was wrong, I find out new stuff I never knew with every new video
12 years, you have me beat. I’m glad you are learning some things, that is the entire reason for these videos. I learn lots of things I never knew while researching them.
Your videos keep me entertained at work, looking forward to the next video! Great job!
Glad I can help you get through the workday!
Last time I was this early Bethesda didn't own fallout
Haha wow I love this.
@@Rad_King thank you I love your content
So glad I've discovered this channel! Definitely earned my subscription.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite new fallout channel in recent years
Jesus Christ that mic!!!!! This was an amazing video, i hope you make many more!
That new mic is higher qaulity than most huge TH-camrs I see, glad you're moving up to the professional level!
Subbed, these fallout videos are so nice and in-depth i cant get enough
Bro I love your channel. They really have help revive my love for fallout and the fallout universe
I was wondering would you ever do build videos for characters you have used in fallout games like Sniper, Melee, unarmed etc. To give depth you can talk about what your armor and weapon choices for begining and late game plus ya can throw in skill/attributes setup
Also new mic is top notch my friend love how it sounds
I’m glad you like the new mic!
I would definitely consider that. There are many people that are better at making cool builds than I am, but if that’s something you would like then I’ll think about it!
Been loving the content on this channel, makes a nice listen to whenever I build up settlements in Fallout 4.
Man, this is high-quality stuff. Great work!
I found your channel through this video. It’s really high quality and has clear effort into it. I’ll definitely keep watching your videos from now on. Cheers.
6:05 I would think that it only slows down time from the players perspective. I'm imagining the real effect is to speed the player up which would make sense for its role in fallout 2 as in fallout 2 you used action points to move or shoot during combat meaning if you used jet and got more action points you would theoretically be moving/shooting quicker. This would also replicate the side effects that I've heard meth has. If my theory is correct I think it disproves your point at 8:24. I think the main issue is that Bethesda changed the role of action points without changing the effects of jet meaning jet should theoretically continue speeding the player up as it does in 2 and 4 but in 3 and new Vegas it simply doesn't because of the changes in roles.
I imagine the Rad-Away being strapped to the body somewhere like the upper arm or tucked away inside a jacket, with the needle inserted close by.
I just want to say that i love your videos and you are probably the only youtuber whos videos i watch until the end
I really like your ideas
Keep up the good work rad!
You absolutely made my day with the venom vs poison part. I have been losing the fight for so long I had given up 2 years ago. Nobody cares about being accurate anymore.
Jolly good show! I'm excited for the next one!
Thank you! Many more to come!
I really like your take on the Jet controversy. Another one I like is the potential that Jet wasn't as popular on the west coast pre war until Miron found some post war and reverse engineered it. Then he could have taken credit for its invention entirely.
I’ve never seen a video from your channel before but I love what I’m seeing. Keep up the great content
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your lore videos. Thank you very much.
I always figured that rebound was a like a vitamin/saline IV that's laced with stimulants and maybe some painkillers
I honestly think you’re right on the money.
You’ve got me back into playing New Vegas, nothing will get done now
Thank you for making this. Very fun.
After watching a few of this guys videos, I decided to subscribe because he really knows a lot about Fallout and it’s cool to see his growth as a TH-camr
Erm, a quick note that I don't *think* I saw anyone mention with a quick scroll down the comments. You said that Psycho ONLY increases Damage Resistance in FO3 and NV. It doesn't. It increases *Damage* but not Resistance. The Damage Resistance was brought back in FO4 and FO76, alongside varying levels of the Damage Increase introduced in 3.
Seemed like a pretty glaring issue there.
Nice new mic, keep up the good work
Thanks! Trying to get better content and quality to you guys.
I love that you talk about possible irl equivalent of the fallout chems. Must have taken a lot of research!
Damn!! Just found ur channel gotta say I'm amazed by all the Infos especially the comparison and explainions
Sub well earned sir
Forgot about F'NV's psycho subset of slasher....and stacking them:)
(edit) And also cateye which is addictive if you don't turn up your brightness settings. Buuuut this IS part 1 after all.
Can’t sneak one past you. I had slasher in my notes but forgot to mention it.
@@Rad_King Shall await for part 2.👌
5:58
There is a little correction, is that Jet not exist in 76
The best way to get feedback on the internet is to say something wrong.
You’re totally right, I’ll make a correction in my next video.
@@Rad_King the concept of huffing cow fumes to get high is mentioned in 76 a lot, explaining jet like stuff. Myron in 2 just found a more direct way to make the stuff on the cheap, explaining why his version is worse than standard. You can even call him out on not inventing jet in 2!
This was a great video. Thanks for making it!
Good job man! Great things to come!
that funny moment when you need max charisma to pass a check so you use drugs to talk someone out of using/abusing drugs
Maybe Lorenzo Cabot's mysterious serum deserves its own speculation video.
I can't see much point in explaining it using chemistry anyway.
I guess it looks identical to FEV so that might be related?
The aliens also make a ton of weird serums with random effects, then there's the girl on the spaceship who hasn't aged since she came into contact with their technology, a lot like Lorenzo with his hat.
Maybe the aliens have something that stops kind of biological change like aging, keeping you identical to whoever you were when it first scanned you.
Maybe FEV is the reason for all their recent activity. It's already the reason for practically everything else in Fallout so why not?
Maybe the aliens played a part in FEV's creation. I think I remember US reverse-engineering alien technology to make something else as well.
I also think Lorenzo's hat was planted by aliens to see if it would create an all-powerful god king and mess up human society.
Maybe the aliens are just so generically written that they can be used to explain anything that us supposed to be beyond human understanding.
Fuck 'em.
Great post I have never thought of linking aliens and FEV. I’m going to give this some thought...
Subscribed, thanks for the great video! love me some Fallout lore and/or game play ;) thanks! been a fan since 2009! and love the Fallout universe!
We love your videos. Thank YOU for the hard work.
Amphetamine used to be used for asthma. It was sprinkled on a cotton ball and inhaled. My life was saved by a druggie when I was in the woods at a part and my inhaled got lost. God bless you Mike, where ever you are.
Haha wow what a crazy story! Mikes a boss
hey, i'd be curious about the full story or just the method used since it could come in useful some day, would you mind elaborating a little if it's okay with you?
I think I know why Hydra is named Hydra, it's because of the small vials, connected to one giant thing, the bottle in this case, thus, hydra.
I thought it was because it restores your limbs like how the hydra could grow back heads
I'm watching this 2 years later and you got me I thought the sound was that bad lol but love your vids
Remember what Mr Mackey said, kids.
"Chems are bad, Mkay?"
Love the new mic
You and me both :)
Psycho doesn’t increase damage resistance it increases damage output. Slasher increases both.
In the classic Fallout games, it increases damage resistance and agility, while lowering intelligence. It was changed in the Bethesda era.
So excited to see what you make next!
Been waiting for an episode like this! And the new mic sounds great
Technically all venom is poison though you are right to say that scorpions have venom as venom is poison that is injected... Basically all venom is poison but not all poison is venom
Not to sound mean just correcting you as scorpions do have poison that is a venom
Like I said, this is the place to be pedantic.
I'm fairly certain psycho increases damage output by 25% and not damage resistance.
After replaying NV, Med-X increases either DT or DR by 25 and Psycho increases damage by 25%.
It does both. Damage output goes up by 25% and damage resistance goes up by 25
Great stuff as always, I learned a lot! 'Spasmolytic' was a playground insult in the 90s - I always thought the Skinny Puppy song was named after the insult, so nice to finally learn that it's actually a legit thing haha
I liked this video; it’s an interesting topic. Your video quality and scripts are good. I’m looking forward to watching part 2. Cheers
#FunFact jet is probably inspired by a real world thing since its made with vertilizer that comes from bramin dung here is the real world inspiration...
in some real world third world country people mostly kids put shit and piss in a glass botle put a empty balon on top of the bottle and let it sit until gas fills up the ballon and then they inhale it
FYI.
Jet actually doesn't exist in Fallout 76. It was never created when the events of 76 happened.
Great video though! New subscriber! 🙂
Well it is arguable though. I heard a theory that US military invented a recipe for the Jet before the war as is mentioned on the loading screen of Fallout 4 ( on point from my side, I doubt that US military didn't invent it, if a 17-year chemist could do it how come not the team of military scientists). However, the recipe was lost, and since it was not abundant yet we don't find any Jet in Fallout 1. Later to Fallout 2, it is argued that Myron did not invent the Jet but merely found the recipe and Re-invented it. And later it just spread across Wastelands, that's why we find it in every game after Fallout 2.
True it was created years after the bombs feel. Which is Canon also explained in fallout 2 jet is literally made from chemicals in a Brahman fart
@@colemanwalsh7477 Again that doesn't explain the F4's explanation for the drug. Maybe it is part of the "Bethesda writing" series. However, I don't understand why Bethesda created a new story for the jet when you can simply say that it was widespread across the wastes in 23rd century. Maybe they wanted to modify the lore, who knows?
@@sonofgreatsteppes9497 yeah your right i don't know why bethada went and did that bull shit in the first place I honestly found that more annoying then anything
Started watching your channel about 4 days ago man, they basically got me playing fallout again enjoying everything these amazing games have to offer lol also got me spewing fallout lore to my cousin too who was already trying to get into fallout and with the amount of shit I spewed at him he's definitely playing it now, I'll start sending him some of your videos too because I wanna try and introduce him to the first 2 fallouts, only game he's played that is even close to those age wise are roller coaster tycoon 2
Yeeessss I love hearing this! I love this Franchise so much that even when I can’t find the time to play I want to talk about it to anyone that cares to listen. Good job getting your cousin to start playing.
