If there is a dig at the final episode I feel like we repeated the shot of Lucy, let’s go home/Lucy looks utterly devastated” five or six times in a row? It got to the point where reminded me “Babe, babe, babe, baaaaabe!” from hot rod.

He has a blog with reviews of chocolate and baking recipes that he started in the 90's that is still being updated regularly, too. https://chocolateihaveknown.wordpress.com/author/timothycain/ Most of his games hide a recipe or a chocolate bar joke somewhere (in Fallout, it was a recipe for mushroom-shaped meringue cookies in the manual.) Here is one hidden in Stonekeep's data folder.

Obviously the best thing is to not feature Elon Musk on your TV show. But if you must include a cameo, he should have played himself in that room with all the villainous badguys all sitting around plotting together, with references to his companies and everything. He'd probably walk off set after being told what his role is, which circles back around to the ideal outcome anyways.

I am one of those people who came out of the gate fomenting bile for exec producer Todd Howard and his management of the series but the reality is the show is fun and good. I do feel this article best summarizes some of my thoughts on storytelling and agency, change, in the fallout setting and the concerns I’d have with becoming too invested in it in future titles or media. https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/i-loved-the-fallout-tv-show-but-i-did-it-in-spite-of-bethesdas-stifling-take-on-the-wasteland/ I’d be curious to see some thoughts. Season 2 could easily fix up the hiccups found in season 1 and I agree with the idea of change and even killing of sacred things in relation to a setting but good writing pulls that off not “quick” writing which I see signs of in the production of this show. It’s good.. but rushed. It needs to slow down and take its time or it’ll run out of gas imo.

I think the show does a good job at condemning hypocritical ways of thinking and acting. Vault-Tec destroys the world to "save it". Hank raises his children to have morals and principles and when asked to live up to that by example, he crumbles and leaves. Both Lucy and Norm idolize Hank, Lucy: If my dad knew I had taken a fusion core from a vault and damned everyone living in it, I couldn't look him in the eyes Norm: if my dad was here he would be the first one to feed the raider prisoners hope lies in the young generation, one brought up to act out their morals instead of just giving them empty lip service when things are convenient. Lots of stuff going on in my personal life ATM that really reinforces the idea that we are judged by our actions when things are hard, not the poo poo we say when things are essy.

More tropes I love: there’s an entire war going on outside, people dying left and right, and yet somewhere in the middle of it there are a bunch of people talking and they’re having a war of words over the soul of the main character. Never get tired of that one.

The author does a good job of arguing for his preference, but it misses a bigger aspect of the Fallout setting. Every studio that's contributed to it has had different mediums and different motives. Fallout isn't some immaculate egg of canon, it's a hodgepodge of creative efforts over decades with various owners. Interplay had access to older game tech, and established an RPG in a red-scare setting with B-movie rulesets. Bethesda resurrected the IP with 3d and their existing engine. They had to introduce the game to a much wider audience, without alienating original fans too much. And now Amazon and their creatives are visiting the setting in a completely different medium and storytelling structures. Same as Bethesda, they need to capture as much audience (old and new) as possible, so they're going to rely on those familiar symbols and factions. That may create that sense of stasis that some people dislike. But it's probably the smartest thing that the studios can do when trying to reach new viewers. As you said, I think the real display of their ability to evolve a story will be in future seasons. People will have their preferences, but when comparing them as storytelling media, remember that each "Fallout" had very different handlers and goals.

The wasteland never feels no full of horrors as lifeless beings wander a post apocalyptic digital void. Radiation from the bombs dropping now canonically removed everyone's legs for unexplained reasons.

Probably not my favorite gag in the show, but one thing I really loved was cyclops Chris Parnell putting on a normal pair of glasses, and never acknowledging or drawing attention to it. Most comedians would have hammed it up and drawn such a minor joke out way too long, but such a subtle dumb little thing was the best.

Maybe not as funny, but Maximus paying up six caps instead of five for faster repairs on the core part for the Power Armor, got a chuckle out of me. He technically has more knowledge of the Wastelands than Lucy, but just lower in social and negotiation skills overall.

So I was thinking about this just now: Is The Ghoul/ Cooper a Marked Man, or something like them? He seems to have the extremely high pain tolerance, his skin seems red and flayed, even compared to other ghouls. He was VERY close to the LA blast zones. It makes sense the direct blast would do it to him, like the Marked Men in New Vegas. fatherboxx posted:drat now I want him to hit the slots at the New Vegas casino and go HELLO-OOOOO Kyle finally returns to Vegas, after the disaster that was Showgirls

Clearly he has some reason to think she might be alive, so something happened after the bombs. Tim Cain also mentioned a better reason for not thinking Vault-Tec actually started the war, why would Barb let her daughter go to a birthday party on the day they were going to destroy the world? She would've known the plans and had her safe in a Vault somewhere.

House has stated in New Vegas as well that the exact timing of the bombs even surprised him, and happened before his calculations, and if he had an inside scoop on what Vault Tec was up to that day, he would have for sure finished his preparations, rather than being about 20 hours off I think Vault-Tec DID have a plan for it to happen their way, maybe even the day after, but Life and their escalation of the Geopolitical conflict came at them fast, and they themselves were caught off guard.
