Welcome to the Fallout Lortcast, the place for the Fallout community to come together to explore the boundaries of our knowledge about the world of Fallout.

Alright, Wastelanders, Vault Dwellers, I'm most head of ventures. That's usually how I start the Elder Scrolls Lortcast. Welcome to the show. This is my birthday show.

I'm doing a very special episode for my birthday. This is also a live stream. We are live on twitch.tv slash robots radio and I decided, you know what, Laney and I were getting ready to do another episode about Fallout New Vegas. It was getting closer and closer to my birthday and I was like, ah, I should just do a birthday.

A birthday show and normally on this show, the people who get to be on the show are the hosts and then special guests and then our patrons. But I was like, you know, it'd be really fun to do an episode that includes any of you who would like to call in and be on the show. So if you are currently in the live stream on the channel watching this, then you are welcome to join us on the Discord. You just hop in the waiting room and I will let you into the recording channel when it is time.

I'll call you in. And I would love to hear your thoughts on Fallout, some of your favorite memories of playing the games, maybe how you discover the games. This is just going to be a fun episode where we get to chat and just kind of talk about things that make us happy. This is how I'm going to start out my birthday stream for the day.

There is also a giveaway currently going on because this is part of the Fallout community stream team's big weekend event, I don't remember the official title, but there is a giveaway currently and you guys can, it'll pop up in chat but you can get in there and try to win one of those cool Fallout chairs. So that's going to be awesome. Also, Laney is busy doing some Mother's Day stuff today and early states the day before Mother's Day. She's able to call in at some point as well but she won't be able to join us right now on the show.

So we're going to kick this off with, we've got a few people in the waiting room already. Honor and Steel is the first guest we have and Honor, whenever you hear this, feel free to jump over to the recording channel and we can start chatting about favorite Fallout memories. And so, come on over, oh, there we go, there we go. Honor, how's it going?

Yeah, it's good. Thank you. Good, good. Hey, welcome to the show.

This is, I think this is the first time you've been on the Fallout Warcast, right? Oh, are you there? Oh, you're back. You know, let's talk about.

I'm back. You're back, you're back. Yeah, so welcome to the show. This is the first time you've been on the Fallout Warcast for those of my audience who don't know who you are.

Why don't you introduce yourself? Hi. So I'm Honor and Steel. I am a Fallout content creator.

Have made a Fallout cosplay in the past, but in the last, well, since the start of the year, I've been making a Fallout 76 based audio drama podcast and it's called Far From Heaven and Fallout 76 Story. That's right. That's right. Yes, I did.

Yes, I did. Yesterday we hit 2,000 downloads on the podcast. That's awesome. Yeah.

For four episodes, that was pretty astounding that we reached that landmark. So, yeah. So it was like a really nice way to begin the weekend and go on into episode five, which I hope will be out next weekend. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, they're just doing some quick math here. That's like 500 plays per episode on average and that's a huge number for, especially for a show with only four episodes so far, like the average, the average number of plays per episode of a podcast and this is like official numbers that come out from official sources is around 60 to 90 depending on the source. So 500 per episode is pretty huge.

Like you're up in the top, I don't know, 20% of shows or something like that. That's amazing. Congratulations. Yeah.

It's pretty crazy. That is pretty crazy. But you're part of the robots radio rocket club. You've been part of that group that I've been working with and mentoring and kind of talking through some things about how to start your own shows and do those kinds of things and even even a wonderful member.

You pop into our chats every week and you've got some great questions and things. But you also are somebody who loves Fallout enough to create your own stories and content around Fallout, which is super cool. It's one of those things that I love doing podcasts and I love talking about this stuff. I also like being creative, but I haven't really committed to doing something like that before as much fun as it sounds.

I know it's a lot of work. Is it as fun as it sounds like it is? Yeah. I really enjoy it.

I mean, I've been writing for so many years and yeah, it is really enjoyable because otherwise I wouldn't spend the hours that I do on this podcast and I think that's the one thing that I think everybody gets it. Lainie just jumped in. Sorry. She's outside, Hi, Lainie.

Hi. Hi. She was able to make it. He had a festival.

You had a festival thing. Sorry, you're in our festival. Cool. Well, look, I'm chatting with Onder and Steel right now about her show and what she's been doing.

Oh, yeah. I'll disappear. Hi. I just wanted to say hi.

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. We'll have fun at your festival.

Thank you. All right. See you later. That's a very fancy umbrella.

Have fun. Bye. Bye. Bye.

I guess it appears by leaning. That was awesome. That was awesome. Sorry.

What were you saying? It looks lovely weather there. Yeah. Yeah.

We both live in Florida. So it's actually hot out now. It's like, yeah. And it's so bright.

It's. Yeah. But it's about sun over here, please. Yeah.

I would be happy to share it. Yeah. What's I saying? Creating a podcast and writing content.

Yeah. Yeah. If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't be doing it. It's really enjoyable.

I mean, I think with the writing, you do inevitably sometimes hit blocks or little sort of obstacles as you do with any kind of writing, but with a lot of the other audio drama writers that are in the Rocket Club and also the writers Campfire Guild as well, we're usually, you know, we're really good at working together and helping each other out of things like that. So, yeah, you know, it's really enjoyable. So what is it about fallout that inspired you to write more about it? Like, why fallout?

You know, like what is it about the series that really resonates with you? I think my own personal writing is more sort of fantasy. So you'd expect me to be more into the Elder Scrolls, which I am, but Fallout is such a really good opportunity to dig into what makes people tick because there are so many stories in the Fallout games where people have even from like, well, with Fallout 76, it happened so soon after the Great War. You see people who had such ordinary and quite boring lives before the war change completely.

I mean, some of them not quite so differently, but I mean, certainly in Fallout 76 you've got a CEO who becomes, you know, pretty much King of the Raiders in West Virginia and you think that's a bit of a switch, you know? Or is it? Well, yeah, I think it depends on the CEO. Yeah, you can definitely see it's actually not that different, but some people wouldn't have tasted it.

I think there's, you know, and for the other games, when you see the world setting, it's pretty bleak. Yeah, it's dark. As far as wackiness, Fallout can get, you can't forget about the dark side of it. There's a lot of, I don't know, atrocities, the terribleness, human beings at the end of their wits and in desperate situations and there's a lot of sadness and darkness in the series, along with the wackiness and the silliness because it's a video game.

Yeah, I mean, I guess it's really good fodder for story crafting. Yeah, it's really good for me in writing stories which blend that sort of the more sort of optimistic outlook, the hopeful outlook, and also with the dark side of it as well, which something that I'm trying to do with my own podcast, because if everybody needs something good, hopeful, or something a bit more positive for them to look forward to, even if they're a reader, it's just that what they may find they look forward to being completely different from the like self, I think of some of the other factions, I don't know, well, the responders, or what is left of them, and that's, it's not even that, it's just that you've got such a variety of factions and people and that, it's such good ground to sort of make and write some really varied and interesting characters. Yeah, yeah, and there's a lot of really interesting characters in the series traditionally, so a lot of inspiration for the kinds of, I don't know, the, I guess the boundaries that are already there are so expansive, you can go in so many different directions that to build characters into that setting gives you a lot of options. Well, that's really cool.

Well, thank you for joining the show. I've got to move on to some of our other guests who want to join us that are waiting in the waiting room. Anything you want to share about ways people can get a hold of your stuff or reach out to you? Yeah, so we are on, well, we're on most of the major podcast and platforms, you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, on Amazon, Stitcher, and also megaphone as well, we're on Twitter.

So if you want to follow us more closely, you can find us there. And of course, we've also got our own channel and the robots radio discord as well, and I put a lot of stuff on there, sort of extra to the podcast. That's true, that's true. Awesome.

Well, thank you for joining on her. Yeah, don't thank you. Yeah, and I hope you hang out for the rest of the stream, we'll be doing some other fun stuff as the day goes on. Awesome, thanks for joining us.

Yeah, thank you. All right, who's next in the waiting room? We've got six or in syntax, I'm not sure which was the first one in there, but either of you, whoever was first, go ahead and come on into the recording channel, six or such, just check my mic, I'm good to go in the chat. I could listen to honors voice literally all day, such a great accent as Americans.

We love awesome accents from overseas. So I don't know, six or or syntax, I don't know who was in the waiting room first, but feel free to jump on over. Maybe it was six or six or six or are you ready to go? Come on in.

And thank you for all the birthday wishes in in chat. Thank you everybody. It's nice to see everyone on the stream. Six or pop into the recording channel.

Join us in the recording channel. Come on over. I don't know if six or is hearing me or not. Well, we'll talk for a minute.

So up here comes six or six in now. Hey, six or are you there? Hello? Yeah, I'm here.

Hey, how's it going? I'm good. Good. Good.

Well, welcome to the show. Hey, when you think about Fallout, do you have a favorite Fallout memory? Well, I do actually. Whenever I first played New Vegas, I was very stubborn with it.

So I kept going the path you're not supposed to go. The going north past the death clause. Yeah, I actually got through. Yeah, I was able to do that as well on a later playthrough, but not on my first playthrough.

You did that on your first playthrough? Yeah. Yeah. So what did you just like stealth it?

Like how did you manage that? Kind of what I ended up doing was I went up to another mountain above the camp, the ruined camp. I went up to top of that and I just sniped all the casadors. Okay.

Wow. What level were you when you did that? I was like, well, I stayed in good springs for a little bit. And then I went out there.

So I would say roughly level five, maybe level six. Okay. Yeah. So not very far along.

Wow. So you kind of cheese them? Were they not able to get to you? And so you were able to kind of whittle them down?

Kind of the baby ones were able to get up to me. But since I was so high up, it took them a little bit to get there. There's like a flat surface on top. Right.

Right. Okay. Interesting. So did you shortcut some of the like the quest line?

Did you just make it to New Vegas? Honestly, I did get through the first portion of quest line. So yes, it cut me to the next part of the class, which was getting to New Vegas. Interesting.

Interesting. So how did you feel when you accomplished this? I was like, man, I'm surprised that I didn't that nobody thought of this beforehand. Yeah.

Well, I'm sure some people did. How long ago did this happen? When did you jump into the game? Was it like it first came out or was this like more recently?

Oh, I was way too young whenever it first came out. It was like a couple months ago, maybe last year and a couple months. Got it. Yeah.

Yeah. That's cool. That's awesome. That's awesome.

Was that your first fallout that you played? Oh, it was Fallout 3 that I first played. Actually, it was a couple months after 76 had come out and I had it for a couple months and I figured, you know, I might as well give this a try. Nice.

Nice. Well, that's a really cool memory. Anything else you want to share? Yeah.

I actually have a question for you, Tom. Okay. I'm making a museum in Fallout 4 and I need to know what weapon you would choose for you in the museum and what you would want to name it. Oh, man.

So do I get to make up my own weapon or do I have to pick something that already exists in the world? It can be something that exists in the world, but it can also be through DLCs. Okay. Okay.

So a weapon in the game and what would I name it? Okay. So I think I'm going to make a weapon for Buddy Bot. Buddy Bot weapon and it has to exist in the game already.

I think Buddy Bot would have a weapon that was good for collecting brains. So then it would need to be something that you could use to chop open someone's head. So the plasma cutter is in Fallout 76. So I think it would be like Buddy Bot's plasma cutter is what we would call it.

And it would be wielded in order to like burn through, you know, like the top of someone's skull to pull their brain out. Oh, it's so gross. Okay. Yeah.

Buddy Bot's plasma cutter. That's it. Oh, the museum is in Fallout 4. So you don't think that there are plasma cutters?

Well, then let's go with something else that's sharp. What else is a sharp and Fallout 4? The sultran blade, maybe? Yeah.

Okay. That would make sense to you because it's from a robot. So yeah, that's a sultran blade. Let's go with that.

All right. That's awesome. That's a fun idea. Anything else for me?

I think that's it. Thanks for joining. We've got syntax error waiting in the waiting room and six or have a wonderful day. Thanks for jumping in and being part of my birthday stream.

Welcome. Awesome. All right. Syntax error.

Welcome to the show. Come on over to the recording room. I've got Kirby with the waiting room as well. If you would like to join the show, you are welcome to jump into the waiting room on the discord and you can join me a little bit later as the show goes on.

Syntax error? I know there's a little bit of a lag onto Twitch. So when you are ready, when you're ready, when you're a raider, feel free to jump into the recording room. Let's see.

Do I have any other favorite things from Fallout? I'm trying to think about back to when I first discovered the game. I think one of the first things that I really enjoyed was the way the game started. And when I say the game, the first game I played was Fallout 3 and getting out of the vault and seeing everything.

Syntax, what's up? How's it going? Hello. He's working.

Yes, it is working. Welcome to the show. How you doing? I'm going to have to shut off the live stream because you are saying everything twice.

Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and mute the live stream and then just keep the discord going. There you go. Hey, welcome.

So do you have a favorite Fallout memory that you'd like to share? Yeah. The Fallout game I've played the most is Fallout 4. And I have so many memories of dying and soft-blocking myself.

Yes, I've been there too. Do you have one that stands out like a really particularly funny or frustrating situation? I think it was my third run and I was doing a Power Armor run. And I just got fully upgraded to 51.

And I was going into Fort Hagen and I jumped onto a table and got stuck. But in the table, you clicked into the table? The Power Armor was too tall to get out between the table and the roof. Oh no, so you kind of wedged yourself in there and then you couldn't move?

Yes, it took me 30 minutes to get it out of there. Oh, you spent 30 minutes trying to do it and eventually you got out? I had to go get the companion and put the Power Armor on him and make him walk out of there. Wow.

So that worked. That's crazy. That's a very creative way of getting out of that situation. That's funny.

Do you have any other crazy memories from playing Fallout? Yeah. In my first run, right when the brotherhood appeared, I ran into one of their bird birds. And I was like, hey brotherhood, come help me.

And they did come to help me, except they landed on me. So they crushed you with their bird bird. Yes. That's great.

Oh, that's so good. One of the things about these games that are so good is just the emergent stuff that happens because of the world is so complex, you know, so many systems working with each other. That's hilarious. I remember playing Fallout 3 and there was a moment.

I believe it was playing with my wife who might be listening. I know she's in the chat and it was either her. We used to take turns like passing the controller back and forth or it was me. I don't remember if we were playing together at the time or I was playing on my own.

But you know in Fallout 3 where there's like all the old interstate systems and they're like raised off the ground? You know what I mean? There's some of that in Fallout 4 as well. And there was just one moment where we were running across one of these elevated roadways and then all of a sudden the game just like clipped us through the ground and we fell through the world.

Yeah. It was just like a smell. No. And I believe in that playthrough, the most recent save I had before that was like a long time before that.

It was like significantly, I don't know, 30 minutes back. Yeah, and there wasn't anything I could do because I could either reload to right before you fell and it would just like drop you through the world every time you reloaded back into it or I had to go like 30 minutes back. And that was a total mark. Yeah.

I save literally every time I do something. Yeah, you absolutely have to. It's just kind of how it goes. Yeah.

Well, thank you for joining us. Those are some fun memories. That's just kind of how it goes. Anything else you want to share before you head out?

Not really. Okay. Well, thank you for joining Syntax and I hope you stick around for the rest of the stream. We're going to be doing some other stuff and having some fun giveaways and stuff as we go as well.

So we've got some other people in the waiting room. Kirby, Kirby jumped back into the waiting room. Kirby, are you wanting to get on the show in order to share a memory? You can hop into recording and answer my question real quick.

Hey, Kirby. Hey, you've got your daft-punk voice on. How's it going, bud? Good and good.

Going good for anybody who doesn't know who's listening to the podcast and hasn't heard of Kirby Choo before. Kirby Choo is my son. We play Fallout 76 together in the afternoons and some other games. Kirby, what do you want to share?

I have two favorite Fallout 76 memories. One of them is when I got that really crazy gun. I used like fusion cores or whatever to shoot. The Gatling laser gun?

Yeah. And it just like obliterated everything. We went into a tour of enemies. Yeah, we went into a daily ops and Kirby equipped the gun for the first time and was just like blowing through enemies.

And I think that was pretty exciting for you. Yeah. We're just melting everybody. Yeah, those guns are great.

Those are really cool. All right. What else? The other one is when I built my house where you just fall into a big pit.

That's it. And that's it. So in Fallout 76, because you can craft stuff, Kirby and I were talking and we were like, you know, Kirby plays a lot of Minecraft and people make these funny trap pieces in Minecraft too. And they do it in Fallout 76.

And I was like, what would be really funny is if we had a stairwell, right Kirby? A stairwell that just goes up like steps that go up and up and up and up and then fall into a pit that you can't get out of. But it's not a trap camp in a way where it like convinces you and in fact, it tells you not to go in the pit, right? Yeah.

You just walk up going past all these signs that are like warning. Don't go up. You'll fall in a pit. Yeah, there's no treasure.

Don't go up here. Danger, danger. Don't fall down the hole. Last chance.

Right. And so if you are persistent enough and it's kind of like reverse psychology, right? And if you're like, oh, no, they're just trying to get me not to go down there. And then you go down there and find out that like, oh, wait, there's nothing down here.

It's pretty good. It's like a little bit of fall damage. Yeah. Yeah.

And then you're just stuck in a pit. Yeah. That's pretty good. Well, that's fun.

Yeah. We'll have to come up with some other ideas. Chad, if you have any other funny ideas about weird camps to build, let us know because Kirby and I are going to be doing more of that in the future. Awesome.

Well, thanks for joining Kirby. Have a great day. Thanks. Thanks, bud.

All right. Let's go to Wandering Waste Lander. We've got Wandering in the waiting room. And Wandering, you're welcome to come into the recording channel.

Anybody else on stream right now who would like to jump onto the show and share a favorite Fallout memory? Feel free to join the Discord. I'll put the link in chat again in case you need it. And you can join the waiting room channel and you can get called into recording when it's time to go.

Wandering, feel free to join recording whenever you hear me welcome you in. There's always a delay on Twitch. Let's see. Any other favorite memories I have from the games?

I really liked discovering the in Fallout 4 when you discover the museum. Speaking of museum, six years talking about museum. And you find the Deathclaw in there, the Witch's Museum, super creepy situation for sure. Wandering, what's up?

Welcome. Are you able to chat? Is your chat working? Hey, what's up?

There you are. Hey, how's it going? Good to see you. Happy birthday.

Thanks, buddy. So what do you got to share? What do you think? What's your favorite Fallout memory?

You having some issues? Keep talking. It might come through. Are you there?

Check, check. Sorry, you are. Sometimes it's like there. Sorry, I had to change it from push to talk to audio because for some reason it doesn't always like to work with my push to talk.

Yeah, it's funny sometimes. Okay, cool. Well, I'm glad it works now. So what do you think?

What's the favorite Fallout memory of yours? So a favorite Fallout memory, kind of the same thing with Fallout 76, Fallout New Vegas. I got past the Deathclaw's early on too. I died a lot, mind you.

But I picked up a rocket launcher. No, I did have a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher. And I was sitting there just spamming it until I killed enough of them to where I could get past. Wow, they're really hard to kill that early in the game.

They take a lot of damage. Yeah, and I think I just ended up killing enough of them that the pathing screwed up. Oh, okay. So I took advantage of that and kind of headed for New Vegas, but I thought that was a pretty funny moment.

Yeah, when I was able to make it through there, I did it by sneaking mostly. I don't think I ended up killing any of them. I was able to find a path between their, like, patrol routes because they kind of patrol around, like, anybody who's played through that and tried to do it. Well, you notice, as you get close, they start kind of skittering around and then move from one place to another, and then move to another place.

And if you can keep behind some of the rocks and play with the geometry, you can kind of sneak by them. It's possible to do it. But you're right. Somewhat what I did.

Yeah, you have to kind of quit save a lot in order to get past them. Oh, there was spamming of the quicksave function. Oh, yeah. Without that, yeah, without that, there'd be no way.

Like, I don't know that you'd be able to do it because it's kind of a trial and error. It's like, well, if I go this way, okay, okay, what if I wait a few seconds and then go over here? You know, so as thought, New Vegas, is that a favorite of yours? A lot of people consider it their favorite when it comes to the story.

I think my favorite is probably at this point 76 just because of the community aspect of it. Okay. But probably the close second would be Fallout 4 for the building. Really all the fallouts, including the first ones, even to a lesser extent.

What was the third one that came out? That wasn't actually three. Well, there's tactics. Yeah.

Yeah. And then there was an year in which was okay. Yeah, I think there are things to all of them that make them worth playing through. You know, one and two, you know, obviously they started the whole thing.

And then three transition to the isometric to 3D, which was kind of a weird transition because I started on Fallout 1. I'm probably one of the rare people that actually didn't start. You know, I was in high school. Yeah, yeah, I could have played it at the time.

I just didn't. I don't think I knew about it. I'm sure I saw it on the shelves of a store, but I didn't know enough about what it was to pick it up. And of course I was high school kids and I had very limited funds.

Well, I was a PC gamer even back then and kind of jumped on the whole PlayStation bandwagon to the whole backwards compatibility and all that kind of stuff. And then they took that away. So I went to PC exclusively for a long time now and kind of across the board a little bit in there. Yeah, I played a lot of PC games growing up because my dad actually worked in the computer industry and for a while he worked for companies like IBM.

But yeah, we had we had a PC earlier than a lot of people did, I think, and then continued to have, you know, different PC systems growing up. So it was one of those things I probably could have played. I just didn't because I didn't really know about it. Like it wasn't one of those things like people in my friends' circles were talking about.

So I wasn't that aware of it. I wish I was. I think I probably would have really enjoyed it back in the day. But a lot of my friends were nerds.

So a lot of them had a lot of my two. Yeah, a lot of my two. It was a 286. Yeah, we had a 286.

We had a 486. We had trying to remember what other systems we had. When I went away to college, my dad let me take an old system. I think they upgraded and let me take the old system with me.

And this was in 1997. So 97, yeah, 97, 98 school year, it would have been. And that computer could play Quake 3. I played Quake 3 on it.

And what else did I play on it? The original Counter Strike, like 1.6. Would kind of play OK on it. It wasn't great, but it ran.

I'm trying to remember what else we played on that system. But in my college dorm, the firewalls were so strong that you couldn't get outside the local. Like you could play with other people on the network, but you couldn't get out of the network in order to play online at the time. This was like early internet, right?

And so you couldn't have played these games like online with other people. So I was just fighting robots and things like the other bots in the game. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy to think back to that stuff.

I remember those days. Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool how far we've come. But in some ways, it's better that we didn't have that stuff back when I was in college.

So I focus a little bit more on my studies. Cool, man. Well, thanks for joining. This has been fun reminiscing about this stuff.

You say that false 76 is your favorite now. Is there a reason? Is the community asset mostly? It's the community 100%.

The game is up at this game. There's bugs and stuff, which I've kind of learned to get around that for many, many years. Because even some of the earlier games, you would get stuck into points and you're like, well, it's time to start a new save because there's no getting past that. But yeah, I mean, just if it wasn't for 76, I want to met people like yourself like, you know, Kenny, like a bunch of the people that I talked to fairly regularly.

I mean, I tried to keep up with folks, but there's so many. Yeah, it's the community. Right. Yeah, I'm not the best at being social, but I'm glad that we're here.

You know, I'm glad that everyone hangs out and we're able to play games together and those kinds of things. And there's so many people in the community that are just so creative. I was showing my wife some of some of over she is art, which is just amazing. And if you've been on Twitter, you need to follow over she has account.

Oh, yeah. The pages. Yeah, the pages of like the creepy monsters and she and turtle, the comics, and that stuff is just so good. It's such a good, I don't know, so talented.

Like, I wish I wish there was a company out there, you know, Marvel or whoever, that would do a Fallout comic and hire somebody like that, you know, or maybe she had themselves to do the art. Yeah, that would be cool. That would be amazing. Yeah, she and turtle.

It's so good. And then, you know, to mention the podcasts and the content creators and the, you know, people making cool videos about stuff, there's so much talent in the community. It's so good. It's just, it's just amazing.

So even if I don't know if you go ahead, go ahead. I was gonna say, I don't know if you saw the two paint or digital art pieces that I posted on Twitter. Well, I get, I think I posted them one day after another. It's been a couple weeks now, but I'm still getting likes on them.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I probably did, you know, because I follow everything and I scroll through everything. It's just, there's so much I don't always remember specifics. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. There's a lot of really talented folks that just do some pretty cool stuff.

I'd like to think sometimes I'm one of them, but you know, then there's days I don't have time to do something. I'm like, darn it, why didn't I do X, Y, Z? Yeah. Well, they don't have so much time, you know, like everybody has a job and everybody has other responsibilities.

So we can't just bask in the, you know, the fandom that we all love, you know, 24 hours a day. Right. But, you know, we can try. We can attempt to.

So yeah, man, that's, that's fun stuff. Well, thank you for joining me on the show. This has been great. Anything else you want to share or just waste people and get ahold of you?

Your Twitter account. Well, I'm on Twitch, obviously. I've been streaming every Thursday now since I've got kind of a regular day off again. That's great.

The last time I streamed before this, the last two weeks was December for Fallout for Hope. Yeah. Which was probably one of my better streams for a while, but now I'm kind of trying to get more regular. Of course, I'm on Twitter.

I've got an art IO account. I've got Discord. I mean, I've got all the things, the things that you put your things in. All the things.

Yeah. All the things. I am working on my own podcasting, but I'm kind of, I'm eventually going to get there. It's just a matter of sitting down and finishing stuff.

Oh, okay. What's the concept? The starting concept, basically, is that my character, my starting character is a ex-altic slash Robco employee that was working on a prototype Vats version that would actually allow short bursts of time travel. Nice.

Okay. Which kind of is my explanation for the mysterious stranger? Wow. Is that he has a, he has one of the prototypes, and that's why you end up seeing him bump in.

But it's hard on your body, which is why I've kind of worked it into where that's why you see different versions of the mysterious stranger, because he hands this, you know, bit boy off to a new, a new, you know, person to take that mantle. Oh, that's funny. That's so fun. I'm going to throw some, yeah, I'm going to throw some lore in here and there, just so that I'm kind of adding that into the mix.

So that's the way it's kind of a plot thing, a plot device to be able to bring lore into the universe that is 76 at the moment. Yeah. That's great. Yeah.

The mysterious stranger is an interesting concept because it's obviously was created from, uh, just a fun concept for a video game, right? You know, like, well, what if you're lucky enough that somebody shows up and helps you out every so often in there? You know, who is it? Well, they're just a mysterious stranger, so we don't have to actually name the person.

We'll just, you know, like this mysterious guy who comes out of the wasteland and helps you out. Like it's, it's a cool concept, but to shine some light on that a little bit and, you know, or have this, you know, I don't know, explanation for how that is what it is. And, you know, it's really cool. Yeah, I just need to finish writing and record some stuff and I'll be ready to at least put out a couple episodes.

And then I'm working on stuff beyond that, but there we are. That's awesome. Well, good luck with everything. That sounds really, really cool.

All right, man. Well, I'll let you get on to bigger and better things. Well, thank you for joining me on the show and thanks for tuning in all the time and being an active part of the community. Absolutely.

Have a good one, man. Thanks. You too. All right.

Bye. All right. See ya. Hey, fan.

You should come join us. Come join us in the chat, buddy. Then speaking of content creators, Fenwa does a regular, was it twice a week now where you do music? Fenwa Terrian is a musician and dresses up as a silver shroud.

And sings a variety of classic tunes, plays guitar, very talented, joined me on the Mechanist Rap Battles at one point. And that was awesome. I responded to my Mechanist Rap with a song. And that was great.

Also, guys, make sure that you're getting in on Giveaway. On the Noble Chairs Giveaway. Make sure you get some entries in. It's free to enter and you could potentially, oh, you're doing with a cold.

Oh, three times a week now. Holy crap. Yeah. Everybody give Fenwa a follow.

And you need to, let's do a shout out. Shout out Fenwa Terrian. Give Fenwa a follow. Jump in and check out some of those streams if you haven't done that already.

Yeah, man. Awesome. Well, I hope you feel better. Get over that cold.

You need those pipes to work. Get those pipes working correctly. All right, guys. Anyone else would like to join on the show?

There's the waiting room. I wonder if my wife would be able to join us. I don't know if she's going to want to join me or not, but it would be fun to have her on here and chat. We'll see.

We'll see if she decides to do it. So, thank you, Buddy Destiny, for the birthday wishes. Oh, I never, if you're wondering what I said, I never did respond to your rap. I don't know that I ever came up with any good responses.

I think that was the problem. Wandering Wastelanders sent me a rap battle challenge as well when I was doing the Mechanist. I've seen people asking for more of those. And I could do more, I guess.

Oh, we've got a visitor here on the stream. This is Oreo. That's my wife. She's wearing a fall out shirt.

Hi, everybody. That's a nice fire shadow. And this is Oreo. This is Oreo, our dog.

Hi, Oreo. It's an open season on roasting you over a rap these days. Yeah, you can do that. I was doing that as a Mechanist.

I put on the, you can see back there, there's the Mechanist helmet. And I was doing that as a Mechanist. Oh, here comes Pumpkin. Here's the other dog.

Here's the other dog. This is great audio content, by the way. The dogs are like, why are you holding us? They look like, oh, what are we doing?

They've got those faces. And then here's Kirby Chew. He's just floating into the screen. Oh, man.

Everybody's jumping in. Oh, that's funny. Well, I think we're out of guests. Thank you for joining everybody.

This has been super fun. Yeah, lots of funny comments. If you're listening to the audio version of this, I hope you enjoyed it. Join us on some live streams because I think maybe you'll get a little bit more out of the images and the people popping up on stream and saying hi.

But I guess we'll go ahead and wrap up this episode of the show. Thank you for joining. And thank you everybody for listening to the podcast. This has been something that has turned into way more than I ever expected.

And I really appreciate everyone who listens. Everyone who joins me on the show. All of our patrons. It was held in customs.

Yeah, my helmet was held in customs back there. It took a while for me to get it. Yeah, I see the voices with the faces. Thanks.

Thanks, Manuel. Yeah, we're going to move on after the show into, we're going to play some games together. We'll do some falls every six, a little bit later. We're going to do some Jackbox next so that other people can play along.
