What's up everybody? Welcome to the kind of funny games cast for Wednesday, December 17th. I'm one of your host, Greg Miller, alongside Forbes 30 under 30. AKA New York game awards nominated.
AKA New Jacket Poppy. Blessing. And you know we hate you. Yeah.
Good day Greg. Tell me about this jacket. Shout out insert coin. They sent it over yesterday.
Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Insert coin here. Cyberpunk.
Which is not one that I guessed immediately. Yeah. It's all coming out. Let me see the back.
So this is one of the gangs in the one of the factions? OK. OK. Yeah.
Yeah. I would never. If you showed it to me, I had to guess I'd eventually get to Cyberpunk. But yeah, I just thought it was follow up.
God, I wish. I wish I was on the side. Because this is the point to follow stuff. This is one where I forget if I even requested this.
I forget like where how I got this jacket. Sure. Because you see insert coin that has something to send. They'll send it out and email and be like, hey, do you want this?
And I'll always say yes. I will never say no to something from insert coin. Great stuff. We love you.
Fantastic stuff. This is why I always say. Yeah. So I got it in.
I was like, I forget, even if I had an email exchange with anybody about this and I was looking at it for a while, I had no idea what this is. And Roger was the one that saw this, the tag that's inside the jacket. I was like, oh, this is cyberpunk. So here's what I got for Fallout.
I'm not seeing a cool jacket. We got we got pajamas, new kakolapillos. You like the new kakolapillos. Yeah.
Did you sleep on that? I mean, I wouldn't be like a couch pillow. When Jen. No, that's all right.
Where is my wife? I'm trying to go to my goodness. Puzzle Quest 3 came out in one in the I love Puzzle Quest. And I love Puzzle Quest 3.
They sent a package of like one of the press packs we always get, right? And one of the things in there was like throw pillows for a couch of the gems from Puzzle Quest. And Jen hated them so much that she whittled it down somehow to just the one blue one that was relegated to my couch downstairs in front of my view game stuff. And somehow from that moment, which was, I think before Ben, but maybe when he was just an infant, Ben keyed in on that pillow and now has it in his room.
And so I'm often sleeping on it in his bed or reading a book on it. So I think about that. That could be a new kakolapill. And there we go.
What did they add a rock age jacket? What was that? Okay. So that's the one I had, was it?
I remember racing jacket. Which I don't, I've never worn. I remember the racing jacket, but I can't fuck with it. I like it.
It's one of those things, you know, Instagram hits us as we do like anything we say. Yes. I say yes. Gary requested stuff.
Gary got it. He asked for the track pants for Yakuza, but he got a jacket. So maybe it's the same. Maybe, you know, maybe shipping air is in your favor.
You just looked open and they're like, all right, I just have to send it to Gary. No, no, no, you asked for something else, but you ended up with that. I mean, I'll take it. I love a jacket.
Now, Pawn town says it's the Pan Am jacket. Is it not? No, right. Pan Am jacket.
I'm like, I'm going to bring Pan Am jacket. I mean, it's a man's fit for it. I love Pan Am. I love Pan Am.
I love Pan Am. I'm going to fight for him. No, Pan Am wears a red jacket. Oh, no.
Well, no, that's not the same one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is the same. It is the same.
Yeah. Yeah. Pan Am jacket would be cool. Yeah.
We're not here to talk about cyberpunk. We're not here to talk about it in certain coins. We're here to talk about fall out season two, episode one, your spoiler free review start. Then we'll probably do an ad break and come back and spoil the shit out of it.

I hate baby You know it's crazy exactly that's what exactly I love you when I get it Thank you to our patreon producer Carl Jacobs omega buster and Delaney the Psalm twining for now Let's begin with what he is and forever will be topic of the show Blessing Greg it finally happened it didn't fall out season two premiered last night 6 p.m. And earlier time than expected with episode one the innovator again Spoiler-free start to the conversation here.
What did you think I? Enjoyed this episode is a season premiere I think my one hang up with it I would even call it a hang up because I understand why it's this way, but it felt kind of slow Oh really it felt like I don't feel like I'm all way pulled back into the fall out universe yet Okay, I'm not counting out that like the rest of the season will probably do that you guys have more episodes Yeah, and I think part I think on the to flip that I'm also kind of impressed with the shows ability to pick up where it left off Yeah, because this almost feels like I'm in like the middle of a season Like almost feels like slow up is over the middle of a season But I think that's because that season one was so with rich with events rich with intrigued things to do characters to pay attention to And they start us off introducing us to Ella Pernell's character Introducing us to Walton Goggins character right and getting us in there interested to see that we didn't get any of Maximus This episode I thought that was fascinating But sure I think you want to give time for the other storylines here to breathe and develop before we get into that later in the season And so overall I'd say had a good time So what's your score you staying on the sevens then old say sevens? I guess then old say sevens Yeah, sure for sure of course. Yeah, I think again It's always funny to review episodes.
You know, I mean you never know where they're gonna go or what's gonna pay off It really is a season thing to review we had access to the first six episodes of this so we could have done this But it's like no, yeah, we need the all eight of them hurt and like why would that benefit you as a content person? Um, I'm not with you at all. I say it's a nine. I had a nine I thought this is amazing nine out of ten for me I was so happy to be back here as you know, I'm not a big watcher if I have the free time I want to be playing video games, right?
And so there's been a few things that have come and gone but I know I enjoyed the first time around like peacemaker peacemaker debut I watched a season premiere and I've never gone back to season two not because I thought it was bad or anything else It's just like oh I didn't get the enjoyment out of that first episode that I did out of video games So I haven't so even getting to fit this into the schedule I was like, okay, like I remember I loved fall out season one Will I love fall season two and I thought we jumped right back into that world I thought they immediately paid off on some of the things they did like the cliffhangers from last year, right? Where's her dad going? I mean, we know Vegas But what's he gonna do there? I know how's he gonna go for the ghoul here and L.a.
Hanging out? What are they gonna be up to and then the mr. House stuff? I thought having that flashback to the Everybody was not big.
That's like the first thing that's doesn't matter I thought you did a great job of paying off on the threads I remembered which I thought was also interesting Hang on with the threads I remembered because when they were doing that here's what happened last season I was like I don't remember I mean I don't remember I guess it did happen But it's not I was very much left with her dad left. We're going yeah for her dad like if you were like what happened Maximus I would have been like I think that's part of what makes it tough to pick back up is that it's a show with so many details But I don't absorb all the details necessarily as far as every single thing that happens in the plot right like you mentioned We leave with the big things we live with okay. Where are we going from here? And so to be thrown back into it?
I have I think it is just that period of having to adjust to being like oh, yeah, okay? There's this thing happening and okay. What's her relationship with the ghoul again? Yeah, okay?
This is where we're starting off with it. Okay cool like it's a lot of just re-aclamation. Yes re-aclamation No, that's re-aclamation to the show and so yeah, I think it puts me in a Interesting place starting off the season but also like to myself and right like I feel like maybe you need a seven to get you to it Sure, yeah, it's hard to start and then go and like you know, it's a similar thing I maybe we get to the end or get to episode 7 like oh fuck that's it I mean this wasn't really mine, but I was I guess I'm more than anything amazing how much I enjoyed it Mmm, and I wanted to layer on of course We'll talk more later about details right I do like some of the stuff they introduced as far as what we're focusing in on Yeah, season like to talk about the production what the show I think does really well Which is stay true to some of the gruesome aspects of fallout there are some things that happen in this episode We're I'm like damn that's fucked up. I'm all about it Like I love see this type of violence and gore on TV like I like when we go there I think so like I Got this out of season one but season one started from such an interesting place for us as viewers us as fallout fans where it was Like all right cool It's gonna be a shitty TV adaptation is this going to do it and I talked so much about in the reviews and talk conversation About season one of like man when they have like the fucking med pack that's from the game on the table And they've the right away like they did such a great job of doing this all that said it still felt to a degree like a Story that was happening in that universe, but not necessarily tied to that universe if that makes sense I don't know if it does the way this one starts paying off on stuff We already know they're going towards Vegas from the end of that one That's not a spoiler for you it felt so much more like oh, this is happening in fallout canon Which I guess never matters to me.
I'm not that guy But season one could have felt I felt could have felt like it was okay This is just something happening is it fan fiction is it not is it yeah? I'm like where's this one? Oh, man? I feel like we're really leaning into like no no This is the fallout universe you know in love and there's things here that have happened or not you played all the way through New Vegas no I didn't know before yeah, yeah, yeah, you I've started new Vegas.
I played it several times Yeah, like I've started multiple times I think I played maybe the first I'll say like six or seven hours I've done some of the main questions like I've had some big moments in that game But I don't have the same like I guess nostalgia tie that a lot of people have yeah I was gonna ask you like do you think that enhances what we're getting out of here? I think I mean I because I played double-digit hours of new Vegas. Okay, so it's not like I've never you know That's over years anyway Yeah, I think so and I think some of the things they tease a little bit in the opening I'm excited for them to get to new Vegas cuz I've been to new Vegas and not that I could you know draw you What map from memory or something? But like I know the touchstones and I know what it's supposed to look like and I think that's going to be a fascinating part of it His mind to think is mr.
House where I don't have that big of a connection to that character for a little new Vegas Is that played and so I'm to your point of season one feeling like a story that exists within that world? But you could almost treat it as man fiction right you can almost treat it as oh this is a different It's literally like a different part of the country than we usually get because oftentimes run the East Coast for a fallout And so it feels a bit more siloed in that sense this season being a bit more connected to events that we've not in the game characters That we know like I feel like that's gonna do so much for people who have played that But I'm so fascinated to see how the mr. House stuff hits for people who might not be as familiar I thought this is not a spoiler thing so don't take it this way I thought maybe we would talk a little bit spoilers will be after the ad break Yeah, but originally I said we talked about the game stuff there because I think there is a conversation spoiler free to be had about that Like not only do I find this episode amazing because of everything contained in it how much I love these characters Just you know, I mean like yeah, even her brother, right? It's like I miss you I don't remember missing you know I mean like to finish that episode of you like man, you know And Jen and I started it and she was like I don't remember any of this You know the recap stuff I was like we should rewatch for the first season and now I'm like damn Are we about to rewatch all of season one to get back to see you know I mean like continue on with season two but more importantly Same thing I said last time around same thing We of course all saw with sir kana stats and Bethesda stats last time around I can't get over how much watching the show makes me want to go Play the game like it's like it is such an insane thing of watching that immediately being like I was watching my desk I clicked over and I was like started downloading 76 again on PlayStation and it's like damn and then but then it's the whole thing of New Vegas like I've never gotten over that hump to go all the way through that includes playing it like in the timeline Like I you know, I played I was at I'm for Fallout 3 I was at I'm for New Vegas like I was I try I gave it the college try then and I love these games I love Bethesda But to come to a game like New Vegas that is so dated at this point you get in there And I am like well should I just play 76 then the psychopath and he's like if I'm gonna put it Should I just go play starfield?
I'm just gotta remake because yeah I had the same thing where I went after the first season I started out playing New Vegas again And it was just the archaic nature of it right that's a older video game So it's tough to go back to after I played so much of Fallout 4 I know people wouldn't say it as good as New Vegas You know I v4 vi says crazy how well New Vegas holds up does it I? I'm not throwing stones at you Vegas at all It's just the fact that like I started that my most recent playthrough was on I don't remember which trip back from Montreal So I had like six hours on the plane with it maybe five and a half or whatever somewhere that a lot though Like and I jumped in and I made the character and I was playing it But I never at the whole time I was playing like yeah And I mean I know I'm the guy who tells you when you play starfield like you were stupid to think it was gonna be a Generation was gonna be a Bethesda game, but it's still a modern Bethesda game where this one is I feel so empty And so it's just okay cool like what am I getting like am I like I don't know I think for me like some of the some of the big moments I got to in New Vegas hit right like there's a part in the video game where You send off a spaceship and that's all the context I'll give to it But that I was like I remember that shit that's crazy and I experienced that last year and I still was impressed by that But I think all the in between moments Yeah, it's kind of tough to try and exist in that RPG world when we've had so many more Modernization's made since then from Bethesda games and like outside of it does the game's we want to bring in like Witcher and Baldur's game and all these other RPGs No stuff to go back clean the chances the storytelling and character is it characterizations hold up gameplay? Definitely not yeah, so many mods to make it playable and that's something I was playing on my rock So it's like maybe I do do that if I want to go and actually jump into this boot up the razor blade and go get a litany of mods to jump in And that's the same thing I know exactly we talked about false ease and one but sick with me thought 76 I boot I still haven't done You know, Mr. Hox of course was gonna stream with us the new burning shores stuff with the ghoul from the Vibond the servers died that day, so we just played skates dead I had it touched it since then I booted up and jumped in and it wasn't immediately like okay cool Whoa, I am joining this world for me I think it's like eighty six or ninety hours into it and of those eighty six ninety hours.
It's not starfield It's not Octopath Traveler zero where I have a character that I have a vision for I know who you're right It's just like it's an avatar for me to eat out of the trough of open world MMORPG like what so it's like I started up And I'm not like man. I need to retake West Virginia I'm like well, I got this fucking vault I threw down and I can't get power connected to it inside of it because of not quest Just because I'm so I hate base building and it's like I don't do I don't want to do this either like yeah And that's where I keep talking about playing through gate three where I'm like I need to get some fucking choices going Listen, if you get into it, let me know because I'll get into it. What you want? Baller's okay, that's a plan right now for me.
My plan is like a back-and-baller Finish Metroid finish Don Quixon Mmm taste the authors and then into that end of December start of January period you smaller shay through one of the things I want to Document the show on is that I think they're very good about knowing and understanding the facets of fallout that people are interested in and want to See right like I think the show can identify like all right vaults are important Yeah, um action is important like, you know the relationship between characters like there's something Maybe this is just the fault anime when I see dialogue between characters. I can almost picture the dialogue tree Yeah, you know in that RPG format and I think the I almost called it the game the show does such a good job of like I think Positioning this as a an RPG and I can already see that in the first episode Yeah, I think when I I slacked you whatever call from an idea You're like and it's such an RPG quest and it totally right like what they're doing here You can see it popping up or open up your pit boy and see exactly what they be telling you to do yeah, exactly So well, I'm ready to dive into details. Yeah, well then everybody let me remind you that this is the kind of funny games guys Each and every weekday we run you through the big topics and games and if you want to get them ad-free I do I don't feel like a new patreon producers like must have I did everything.

All right We can spoil whatever the fuck we wanted to say you can't get mad at us. It's spoiler time spoilers bros Bros up, okay, where you want to start was the the incest support group What is the statement what is the statement that shit have you dying like that was like eyes hit the brother and sister Yeah, the brother and sister like what's the rule or whatever they said? Another ladies in there like yeah, I have like a sneeze like that because my dad liked his sister Whatever so cuz it's so fucking funny and that's why and that's the thing I love about fall out right like what is the weird shit That is happening within the vaults like later on in the episode or I guess that was later on the episode up in another part of the episode You get Lucy in the ghoul entering into an abandoned vault and like the conversations They're having as they're going in there right him being like, you know every time I enter a vault I have to make these with whether or not I'm gonna find my my wife and my daughter and like you know the questioning of Oh what fucked up things happen in here and then him even questioning the vault that Lucy came from I think it's all really well done and like the vault shit is some of my favorite shit that you can tackle and follow because it's so creative so He's so weird. Yeah, I just really like those parts.
Yeah, I'm a hundred percent I'm a whole bunch of different stuff. I thought the flashback opening was great Yeah, I think you know I'm probably speaking out of turn as somebody who didn't go back and rewatch fallout season one before this But I felt like production value was even higher on this one now that they know it's a hit and they're behind it kind of thing But the flashback there right to rob putting the fucking things in everybody's head, right? Yeah, this is fucking cool Like the rob code stuff in the diploma pays and turn people guys like this is just a fun thing and again It goes back to I think something that like this is gonna sound very stupid Something that's not as fleshed out in the fall like games as I'd like it to be obviously we're always the protagonists And we're always in the aftermath so we walk into vault and we find experiments and we read terminals That's one thing to see them being super fucking psychotic capitalist weirdos right of like we're gonna do this and we're gonna Experiment on people and this is how much we've taken over the land here, you know even for the ghoul When he's not the ghoul to be listening on his wife's call and see the corporate espionage there and them turning like I love that We get a window into that world. We've never been able to get to that degree Yeah, you know I mean so to see all that and then especially at the end to have Lucy's dad go into the vault make his cup of coffee Walk around and then see how this vault was working or the you know Rockaway this was working on shrinking it down right to be a little computer chip rather than a big thing on their neck like That's fucking cool And I could easily see us as the vault dweller finding these vaults and finding those reports and stopping a mission with it But to see it in like a prestige format at school Yeah, and I think one goggins plays that role so fucking crushes it Yeah, you so good as the goal and then you see his reaction to everything that's happening in the past right him learning that this was the You know vault texting right going on here him like driving his daughter and then the alarms the sirens going off and it being a But everybody's panicking right like pulled right from the game of the vault text salesman Yeah, literally the dude from the hat that shows up for right though that you in yeah all the flashback stuff is excellent That's you asked me before this show.
Hey like they're doing they're gonna make a fall out show with a bunch of flashback stuff pre Explosion, right? I've been like no like that's not gonna work out Yeah, I think that you're right. I think that is some of the best of we do such a great job right of weaving the other story that pulls directly from that So we are getting mr. House and all of them.
Yeah, what's the name the brain of the jar bird's bees or whatever You know I mean the guy with his management program like they're doing such a great I remember you know last season when that was the reveal right of that guy who was in executive training Then it was his brain and he's like oh my god Like so cool to keep all that running the way to have I love it Where there any references you got from the game? I mean for me personally the one I wrote down is fucking pit boy flashlight noise god damn I love that when they why I think it's when they walk into the vault Lucy does the Turns her pit boy flashlight on and it doesn't say pointy like that you're in the game when you hold circle I was like oh my god like that's fucking awesome again That's like what sets this show apart from so many other video game adaptations where they're adapting it Whereas this they are playing in the world of fallout that's been built in like the sugar bombs box and everything else And it's just like so clearly the game. I'm like this is fucking awesome That's why it's so intoxicating it makes me want to go play the game even though I know I know I don't know what I would go play to be happy with because I want to be that experience Yeah, you just want to live in this world which has such a testament to how good it is I think the dinosaur that Lucy starts off in yeah, I'm pretty sure and I don't know if you remember this or chat I'm pretty sure that's a thing in New Vegas. I remember climbing into some sort of like maybe it was a dinosaur structure I remember there being a quest thing related to that.
Yeah, there is one here I'm looking at right now dinky the t-rex Okay, so he says it is because as soon as I saw that I was like is that's from the game right? Dinky the t-rex is an unmarked location within Novak in the Mojave wasteland in fall in New Vegas It also appears in season two of the show there you go Yeah, super cool and again for them to bring that stuff to life and have it out there I'm into it, you know I think it was that was also cool of like I Have a take it from the most part especially with this take it as that it comes kind of thing I got a really daydream about where Lucy and Google would be on it So to get them in that interaction see how they play and see you know the ghoul who is so hardened and wants everyone just to be killed Out of his way or whatever to be hanging there and Lucy negotiating I thought that was a lot of fun having the dog up there a dog me ready to go I don't know if this is like just the nerd it probably is this the nerd thing in me and you and us right But even in scenes like that we're saying the way Lucy plays it you're saying the way the ghoul plays it I can see the stats I can see the stat allocation I can see the exact type of character that Lucy is like yeah I am again just video game nurture because we've existed in the game But yeah, it's cool to see like oh I know the exact type of RPG character you are and like you know You being this I'm chaotic good. I guess like lawful good. Yeah turning as you're going like super cool Yeah, I thought then my notes here coming off of that when he finally does come down and they give him the slow motion You know the big iron on his hips on playing over while the cool just fucking take Yeah, like damn it's just fucking good And then I was so happy to double back and get not only so much of it But her brother in the brain in the vault there Yeah, the whole time I'm watching it in like the gist of like unspoken joke of the brain being like at the top of the stairs It can't come down the stairs, but you can't come out of the stairs You know, I mean and I was like why would you just go up there beat its ass?
I'm glad that they did that right where I was like running through the options of starving death of this shot We'll just kill you or climbing your dad's pod It's like why don't I just fuck all that and go up there and get you and then the releasing of everybody is a great like oh That's an awesome moment. What are we gonna get there? Yeah? Like I really that's one of those hooks of like, you know, there's better cliffhangers if you will and things are going on in the show And bigger plot threads for sure But for me like what is gonna happen when all these management types come out of that and go and is it as we not expect But kind of expect like is that where the ghouls family is is that the one they've been put in is that where his wife and daughter Gonna be now a question have you watched further ahead of us?
You mentioned that we got no no no I haven't so that means I can ask you questions because I watched a little bit ahead I can't speculate on things and chat. I mean I want you to know how Much we sacrifice for you. Yeah, cuz whenever we get screeners for a TV show, it's a garbage viewing experience There's no captions the color balance and sound bounces always bad It's got big watermarks every but what's and I did that for season one episode one for you because we thought we'd be able to review this yesterday But then the bar goes you can only review the entire season yesterday But give no spoilers or comments and I was like that doesn't make much sense for review so hold off today So that's what we did for you. Yeah, like I started watching a little bit ahead and then like we talked about it And we're like, let's just review episode one.
Oh, thank God. I don't watch any more episodes with like the screener version What do you think's going on with Maximus? We got zero maximus Again, I think for as much as I loved the show season one I Forgot so much of it so even the whole confrontation at the end I remember it so much as Lucy the School her dad that woman and their mom as a ghoul, right? Yeah, and so when they did the recap and it was oh, yeah Maximus was there.
Oh, yeah, they kissed I forgot about that I forgot that happened down and then he got up and she's I assume he's risen to a I mean I know it's not that much time has passed it seems in the world. Yeah, maybe weeks maybe months I assume he's being treated as the big hero. He's got a regimen underneath him He's probably in a position. He doesn't want to be but he's doing the best he can trying to find Lucy I imagine yeah, yeah, I'm so fascinated because like even for as far as I watch the show like I'm I just not much I can really speak to you, but yeah, I'm curious to see like how they bring it all together.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Do you know already? No?
I don't would you tell me I mean not here. Oh, what I put yeah, exactly. Yeah, so I put down Yeah, the brain versus the kid being a great one I thought Gogans versus wife was also great. I love him running home getting Janie packed up running out And then he told me to go back and you got to kill Mr.
House because you have this celebrity They'll get you a meeting with him in a way. I couldn't I was like Oh, that's an interesting yeah steaks let alone then to have him cooking dinner right and her come in and that wall separating Them and then both putting their masks on you know, you know, I mean neither of them happy neither of them want to do this To the other person early so they thought the other person was coming in that was nice How would you rate the head explosions with the little device on the great right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a big fan of a head popper. I love a head pop I thought that was great to have like going through that vault and be like why would they make a vault for communist?
No, this is turning Americans into communists or whatever goofy actually like that Which is so fall out but when the dude wakes up on the chair, right? Yeah, and he is like hello when you need He's acting all weird. I'm like that's straight out of the fucking video game super scary for sure Yeah, the note I jotted down that I want to make sure is this quote of when the brother lets all the people Starts along everybody right where he goes plans are hard chaos is easy Yeah, I really like to see this society and these vaults break down and these people wake up from the illusion that this is how It should be and throw all these wrenches into the works. Yeah, I love the show to man I'm excited to see where we own that out and what goes from here where we're gonna go from here What's gonna happen next and yet at the da but that's just gonna be the same I get do we have to play new Vegas Is that the thing?
I don't think so for all the reasons we mentioned like it's I it's just tough to go back to you But also like I don't know at this point I'm kind of with you cuz I'm like do I read us an opposite to Vegas? Do I read because I want to learn more about mr. House like I want to learn more about I mean I mean like even as we get into The new Vegas areas right like are we running into the same factions are we running into the same like cesar folks? Yeah Chat I need you to sound off all right put in the comments of the YouTube video What are the mods I need to go get to make you awesome awesome?
Because I know it's a great game period. You know how much I love these period But if I was to delay my Baldur's Gate start and go do a new Vegas run That's where I would need to figure it out. That's what I knew people are saying YouTube lore videos That's never as much fun. No, but don't get the job done.
What's what if you just want to play more fallout? You just play more fall 76 Like that's your thing right? That's weird But again like fall 76 is a game we came back for for that expansion enjoyed it. I enjoy it.
I'm not shitting on anybody's work over there It's not fallout. Okay, it's just not like it is obviously but it's not the hey Here's a single player RPG you're making your character. You're making choices here These really hard like to jump back into fall 76 right now, right? I'm left with the same place I was with the DLC that was before that we came back for right with the other expansion The Chinese Mansion where it's like to get to making a choice I'm so cognizant of playing a game like the character I've made in fall 76 doesn't feel like a character where I'm role playing It's anyway feels like I'm going through a fallout amusement park Yeah So I'd rather it be that I sit down like I did with outer worlds to do a character sheet Here's my new Vegas character and why they are courier why what their background was try to set it up and kind of lean in the way I do it out of worlds too of like cool This person is just gonna be Block pick stealth garbage and everything else that sucks, but they'll give me these options really fuck around with in this world, right?
I feel like that that's the game of sitting there making up who's my shifty Vegas courier that would then be on a revenge mission What did they announce? Aren't they reporting a remastering fallout something the rumor is fault. He's getting a remaster like a oblivion. Okay, I like oblivion I love all three didn't they announce something else happening alongside the show and follow it Like a PS4 or for God last time in general that jazz Yeah, yeah, yeah, which like it's the normal thing like we can dial this back to what season one hit and was humongous And we were all like what a fucking mistake not to have three remastered for remastered or New Vegas remastered right in so like 76 saw surgeon players I said when I did the preview of the 76 Google missions and the bounty hunter stuff Hey hats off to that game for leaning in and then having something for new players But again, I'm not trying to serve new players as much as fallout fans right now if that makes sense where it's like 76 Is great but like I really feel like to get the most out of playing more 76 I would need to roll a new character and I would need to commit It's like I put me so much at 76.
I assume you wouldn't want to go back to four because you already played for Yeah, four and three. I know quote unquote so well Yeah, I three if I if three Mastering of three is happening. I will be so happy because I don't remember much from three outside of the big story Liam Neeson out there. What up?
Yeah, and then my favorite robot from the White House. I'll leave it at that Yeah, so to get back in there and have hey, this is I would have a great I would have so much fun remembering as it went but that would be a new experience fallout four I feel is too recent not to mention again. What do I hate about 76 fucking building my base? So I don't want to go back to fall for in fucking build my base and have to actually I don't have to but here's the thing look at start you when a mechanic is put into a video game And I don't have to do it that brings down the video game experience for me Cuz like well, why did you put this fucking thing in the game that I don't want to do and granted?
You know everybody wants to do something different video games I don't think all our base building is our most favorite thing. Sure sure sure sure all again They put it in there so they can master for starfield or the master But yeah, I'm kind of the same boat of or in a similar boat word I fought for would have been the one for me to go back to except the fact that I've played so much fall for like I beat it I went back and I played the other endings like you know, I've experienced that world I don't feel like going back to that Boston even fall out three having played it further a while back ago, right? Like I still remember enough of it You know, I mean like I'm in the same boat as you have that same White House thing, you know I remember in love the Liam Neeson water like those are the big bullet points there I see I don't fit oh and also Megaton is that name of the first time you yeah I like the choice to make there like I want something new and I don't want that to be 76 And so I'm just in a weird place where like I have the craving for fallout. Yeah, new Vegas also Maybe these months people are gonna give us a make it.
It's like I don't need to shit on it I guess maybe I was also this is always you know, whatever I'm making a million excuses here of maybe the plane wasn't the environment to get reimbursed in it But it still was like I did a lot of stuff when I ran around it You know what I mean like I don't know like it's such a fine line for any Bethesda or Bethesda Jason I know of sitting RPG yeah where it's like at some point if the veil gets moved and I'm just checkboxing requests Why am I not doing that in Starfield? Why am I not doing that in Ottawa? Two where I still never finished my second playthrough right like there's still stuff to do there now getting back to the show a little Biz what do you want to see from the rest of the season and we just talk about Max and us but getting back against the overall picture of it um A great question. I want to see what Lucy's dad's up to the most I want to see if he's gonna get an answer right he does that call at the end there No, what he responds is you know what I this is back in the endings of new Vegas and stuff of like alright cool So what's happening on the other side of that call?
I'm excited to see where we are with that I'm excited to see a reunion and what happens there I imagine like there's an honestly not a thread with the exception Maybe of Maximus because I just don't remember and I also the brother has never interested me I need any brotherhood in season one jar head stuff is just never my thing So it's like I'd rather be away from all that or get him out of there and then they can chase him Which I guess is he's a one so in a certain makes sense Yeah, it's crazy cuz yeah, the power armor stuff of fallout has always been so cool to me But like I don't think I've ever gotten into like the brotherhood or steel side of like the fallout stories And see season one didn't really do that for me I didn't like Maximus until the second half of this season I think that's just because he was hanging out with Lucy right we got to see like that That's what kind of opens up right here more now We've not to mention again the ending of that season one right whether she's like how nobody survived this He's like I did he comes out the refrigerator is a little boy like oh What do you find him back into this whole fucking thing with her father in her story? And even when they go into Vault who fought for I want to say and like they're talking in the way She's like you wanna have sex and he's talking about his penis exploding or whatever like there's such a comedy to that character when you come when you Partner him up with somebody who's just from a completely different world because that's one of the things I love all too is that like Everybody's kind of in their own world right the goal is fucking like he is on the streets He's been through the rough like he's like he is genuine post-apocalyptic. He's seen the worst Yeah, Maximus he is from this very organized corporate like structure and then you have Lucy who's just from a different world So when you combine them, I think that's the best of what the show has to offer and see to pull a thread on that right That's where I was with 76 where I was like debating if I go back and play more because the Ohio content all this jazz If I make my character a ghoul, do I write my own story there that I came out of the vault like Lucy But I've been out similar to what ghoul says in the show right of like you're just I'm you I'm just further on the line or whatever the exact right maybe that's how I rephrase my fault 76 characters Then go off and chase all this jazz blow up my stupid vault that I can't power because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing I like this over here probably a presonation says hot take the make a ton bomb quest isn't as great as people say it is It boils down to do I genocide do I genocide a town for the sake of being good or blow it up for the sake of being evil Here's what I would say about that probably presonation You're not wrong most of the choices and why I think people love new vegas so much comparative free is the idea that new vegas is more gray It's not necessarily good bad, which is always I think kind of annoying video games good and bad But the thing you're missing for why megaton has this reputation that it has is that that just didn't happen Yeah, like that was the thing of first off fallout three when everybody I'm this old that when everybody went previewed at that e3 And came back everyone was like we got it. We are booking non-stop appointments for hygiene And you have to go play this this is unheard of what this game is doing It's open world you can go anywhere you can do anything So we went and it's falling and then it was this idea that yeah, there's just a ton of megaton over there that you can blow up or you can't The story moves on and people are like what the fuck are you talking about?
I mean now we take it for granted right spoilers slightly slightly for the outer worlds too There's a very similar thing in there at some point where you can get out of this thing quick Or you can do this thing and if you do the quick thing you're gonna destroy a town and it's like that's really cool But now it's been done and so now it is that whole thing like I think megaton Reverberates through the industry in conversations because it was like what the fuck are you talking about really that's amazing and this kind of game And it keeps going yeah, I think what you're 100% right I do miss Games having the like meter that tells you how good you are is how you are You are like some dark side yeah like dark side is right that we kind of evolved past that and like fall out was I and like infamous I believe right I had the same thing as well where the more evil things you do right you like that is your character evil now But we then get to new Vegas we then get to which are three is one I'll bring it in where the choices are so great And you are painting a more intricate picture of who your character is and that's cool That's better storytelling and stuff, but there is an inherent fun I think in a game rewarding you for being like I'm gonna destroy everything I'm gonna be mean I'm gonna be the villain like I wish beams would bring that back a little bit Why and I would not counter but I would toss you know credit and tip of the hat to see one of your No pleasures to outer worlds to for that where it is like hey, we're shorter rpg So you can make more black and white decisions and feel like it's hang off right my argument of playing co-tour and even playing infamous was like Okay, cool as I'm doing this you almost in mass effects a great example too Yeah, it was like all right at some point you might as well just ask me to say are you good or bad and you make the choice for me Because it's when I like co-tour is always the thing of whichever way you've gone when you're 30 hours into the game Maybe that's a saturation but you know when you're hours and hours into the game and they pop up It's like I'm not even reading anymore like I'm evil right it's like when you play a sweater right a night to the old report No Star Wars the old report you're much like me and Kevin always joke about that too Just like why are you giving an option like I'm evil on the sith or I'm not you know, I mean like what are we talking about? Yeah, so I appreciate a gray one but then that becomes yes I'm much more heady intricate character driven experience I don't mind. Yeah, and I definitely prefer that overall I think there's like inherent fun sometimes and maybe it's more difficult with serious storytelling Yeah, I almost picture like a ration clank game not literally ration clank But like a game that's like that. Yeah, it is blow shit up or build shit up like you know I think it's fun to be like I'm gonna be destructive today.
Yep. Okay, fair enough fair enough I'm aside from one of the season bus time to is it we're just weekly from your own? We're just weekly I love that which no three like two or three episodes drop at the beginning. Nope.
Just a one interesting No, right. I think this goes all the way through February now. It's just crazy to say hello Yeah, it means we'll probably back with more conversations around it. Hopefully I would like that if this does well And yes, and if this is shitty we'll never talk about exactly.
