FIRST TIME WATCHING: Fallout S1E3

Oh my gosh, the "Maybe" song from the first Fallout game! I love the number of Easter Eggs that also nicely fits the show's ambience. I also liked the "negative karma" sound that played from the games when Maximus was lying to HQ.

The Fallout Universe is an alternate future where Atomic Power took off so the 50s aesthetic never changed. The bombs falling in the first episode was in 2077. The cold war never really ended, but the "enemy communists" were Chinese, not Soviet.

The clean shiny look is something only in the 4th game but it really does complement its gallows humor well haha. I still love the grittier look of 3 and New Vegas though, it’s cool seeing the differences in visual tone over the years.

The Fallout universe is exactly what you said its absurd, often very dark but also very goofy and funny. It's the kind of world where the most horrible thing could happen and still have a funny punchline.

The animated, smiling, thumbs-up mascot is called Vault Boy (or sometimes Vault Girl). He's been the mascot of the Fallout series since the beginning.

So you were confused about what that glass was that broke. Those were his vials of yellow liquid you saw him drink that you implied that may be keeping him alive.

You could always meet your friends on the west side and avoid LA traffic by using a private jet plane, like Taylor Swift

bro the size of some of these comments on Nat's post are insane lmaoo ya must really think she be reading 3 paragraph replies

Already looking forward to catching the next two episodes, Nat. I like how you are breaking down the story. The story might not be that complex but the characters really have me interested in where we're all heading next.

None of these characters are in the games. This is a new story within the Fallout Canon.

The next 2 episodes are by far my favorite. The mysteries gets so good

I love the reveal that the Ghoul was the inspiration for Vault Boy.

Enjoyed watching this with you! :)

I like in this episode how Maximus failed his Barter skill check with the tinker! Ha! Those WERE fingers in the mouth of the gulper.

Your comments about LA traffic reminded me about when I visited California in 2015 (i'm from Sweden and it took 11 hours to fly to San Francisco). We rented a car and drove highway 1 down to LA over 8 days stopping a few days in Big Sur. Anyway, when we came to LA we were ASTONISHED by the traffic. Insanity. 10 lanes each direction and still we couldn't get past 20 mph. If it was like that in the center of LA i might understand but we had barely entered the city. We only stayed in LA for 2 days though because I am essentially allergic to heat and sun and it was scorching hot without a single cloud in sight. Still the best trip I have ever made.

"Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every God damn time" is in fact a call back to the video games, where when you are doing the main story and end up doing side missions instead 😂

Only an hour and a half? Last time I was in L.A., it took a minimum of two hours to get anywhere. I went out to Griffith Observatory, and ended up having to get back to my hotel in Anaheim via a series of access roads and strip mall parking lots because it was impossible to get anywhere by the highway. (Plus side, I got to see a lot of the industrial-zoned parts of L.A., which is something most tourists probably don't see.)

Gold. Gold never changes. Looking for more Fallout! Glad you are enjoying this one!

Happy Tuesday Nat. Excited for more Fallout today 😊 Another interesting episode today. This world just gets crazier. I love picking up loads of extra info from the comments section here too 😊 Thanks for a fun reaction today Nat 💛
