Travis is good because Sheng Kowalski.

Still tickles me that the best DJ is a computer simulation of a half asleep Wayne Newton.

Someone want to explain to me, again, how these east coast jerks, who are apparently swimming in pre-war money, never mind how Fallout 3 was set where you could probably find the loving presses, still decided to use bottle caps, in spite of being removed by thousands of miles from The Hub?

New Vegas should have made more of an argument about currencies beyond "bottle caps are the most stable-set because water."

I thought the back story to NV was that NCR scrip used to be the predominant currency, but their war with the brotherhood damaged their economy to the point that people started using the water backed caps again.

Yeah, the Brotherhood of Steel managed to destroy all of the gold that was backing NCR's economy, so the currency defaulted to the value of water, which was still being traded for in bottlecaps. Because, somehow, the NCR never incorporated The Hub, water supplies or any traders.

House actually is a genius who really did build his own army of self healing robots, both save Vegas from nuclear destruction and rebuild it later, and gave himself a workable version of immortality in the process. When he says he has a vision of utopia, he's actually capable of achieving it.

House is literally the Mojave’s equivalent of an Institute scientist, right down to having graduated from CIT.
