Michael Emerson (the doctor) worked with show runner Jonathan Nolan on a great show called Person Of Interest a decade ago, he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him. And for Fallout he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him.🤣🤣🤣
Person of Interest was a great show. I hadn't thought about Bear here for CX404 - I was too busy thinking about the various good doggos you get in various games. But yes, Bear was great!
My best non spoiler advice for watching this is just that if something seems very obviously unrealistic for some reason, you just go "it's probably a game thing and this is like half video game world" haha
So Lucy holding the gun up to the guy while asking for directions is a nod to how players in the games will forget to holster their weapons before talking to NPC’s.🤣🤣
The thing Lucy uses to cut off Wilsig’s head is a melee weapon from the game, called The Ripper. Also fun: this show actually provides narrative lore to explain why Dogmeat in Fallout 4 is literally an unkillable super soldier dog. Radiation doesn’t damage him and no matter how much damage he takes in a fight, he won’t die. And gets back up after it’s over.
Funny thing about blast waves: they're still waves. And that means you get crests, troughs, interference, etc. So the structures that survive aren't necessarily the strongest ones. They just happen to be in the right place.
They also shot desert scenes in Namibia. Santa Monica Pier also survived the nuclear blasts. Lucy hasn't actually killed anyone yet, she wounded her husband but it was Hank who actually killed him.
The best way to think about the characters as far as games go is that Lucy is your typical first time game player, lvl1, has no idea what's going on. Maximus has been playing for a few days and has a overall idea but he's still not a pro. The Ghoul is your die hard fallout player who's got 200+ hrs in and knows it all.
13:20 in Maximus' defence, you can see a shot hit the pistol before he drops it, that one is on the Ghoul. I keep forgetting Wilzig is only in one episode. so much happens and Emerson brings so much to each scene. To the show in general, I feel they perfectly captures the feel of the games and even things like the stylised combat and "magic game healing device" aka Stimpaks etc, without making the show feel "gamified" either. Of course they brought the OST too, which as you mentioned is likely a pain to edit around 🤔 Glad you gents are enjoying it, see you in the next one.
I’m so excited for you all to continue this show. IMO, I think you all are gonna agree that the execution of adaptation is at the same level of TLOU but just different genres and vibes, I absolutely loved this whole Season but the 2nd half of the show blew me away! Really hope you guys like it!
Shit I JUST realized that the Ghoul's gun, which fires both explosive and normal rounds, is probably a call out to the multiple ammo types in the games but the dope less gamey interpretation is that he loads his ammo in a specific order which he then uses strategically in battle
@@THG-3141 Exactly. [ SPOILER ] I imagine he didn't wanted to use that special ammunition with Maximus because he saw how inexperienced the kid was with the armor (I said kid but Aaron Moten is actually 35 years old) and thought he could take him out without it
@@eduardoarmenta9232 my thought was honestly simpler than that. He wasn't expecting to be shooting knights and didn't bring ammunition to kill them. His second encounter he was fully expecting them and came equipped accordingly. And was devastatingly effective
12:20 bothers me because it wasn't about slipping the bobble head in for marketing. THIS IS HUGE IN THE GAME. FOR ONCE in a video game adaptation, little things are appreciated on where they are placed. You can find many bobble heads withing "bigger" towns.
Love 404, but to be fair, she left him few options when she was actively mauling him. It's still funny how that is the point where people go "fuck the Ghoul" after he just killed 10 people though 🤭
"How is that possible?!?" Every F4 player watching his turrets utterly fail when a settlement is attacked. "I'm laughing, but I feel like I shouldn't be laughing." Yep, that's Fallout.
Thank you for the reaction. I was wondering if you just did the first one and then gave up on it, because it's been a while. Glad to see that you stuck it out
😊 thanks guys for doing fallout. Appreciate you guys trying to get through your backlog as quick as possible, but a particular fallout since it was just done recently.
Love that they immediately picked up on how naive Lucy is. Initially, people said this show was gonna be terrible because they thought her dialogue was corny when that was literally the point
Firing a gun while wearing power armor would definitely require a lot of practice. No tactile feedback through the gauntlet would screw up pretty much everything.
The dog ain't no boy - nor a German Sheperd. The two main dogs used are Lana5 and Nunaya - both of the Belgian Malinois breed, both female dogs. Looks a bit similar, but are actually not that closely related. Malinois tend to have much less dark fur patches. The particular breed tends to bond more to a single person than German Sheperds, hence are actally a better fit for the Fallout universe and the RPG companion aspect :P
The Last of Us is my favourite show that's an adaptation of a videogame's story. Fallout is my favourite show that's a Videogame Adaptation. Arcane is my favourite show that's based on a videogame's lore. They're all really good. ... I love Arcane the most though.
i'm thinking knight Titus deeply wanted to delete himself for a while already and he found the perfect occasion . Self deletion by squire-threatening I feel is hat he did .
At the point she was given the job of cutting off Wilzig's head, Lucy has NO idea about the chip. This show is not just an adaptation of the video game. It doesn't take direct stories from game characters and turn it into live action. This show is a story of its own but is based within the Fallout universe and faithful to its lore.
This one was honestly one of the weakest eps of the show in my opinion. The fight in the town, chopping of the leg - a scene that could be very dynamic suddenly felt very slow with all the movements and people talking without much rush like there isnt shooting happening outside xd
"How are you dodging those bullets?"
Honestly, it was the most game accurate thing in the show so far.
Yup. I once had a critical failure in Fallout 1, and not only missed with a submachine gun, but had it explode in my hand 😂
The turrets in Fallout are like Stormtroopers in Star Wars... they shoot a lot, but miss often.
the ingame Perk system :)
I feel the ghoul's approach to gunfights is "there's no kill like overkill"

Bear 💗 That was such a good show!
And he literally becomes Person of Interest.

Yep, like with the turret. It notoriously lacks accuracy in the games as well, it was obviously a nod to the players

In an interview the actor said the dog didn't feel like running during the turret scene and they just went with it

Damn, I wondered where the heck the rest of this was
too many burners 😂
I refer to this as Post-Nuclear Apocalyptic Retro-futurist, Diesel-Punk ☺️
8:22 ....They also filmed some scenes in Namibia, Africa where we see the shipwreck and desert scenes like the long abandoned row houses
The dog is a Belgian Malinoise, FWIW.
Glad someone caught that. 😂
@@ChrisHaar same lol
Lucy only swears once in the season. The rest of the time she replaces it with Ned Flanders-isms. Which is a pretty funny running joke.
Twice. "Gosh-dammit" and once more they haven't seen yet.
"What the fudge!"
"There is no fudge here."
I'm so old I still remember when Hector was on G&S when they were covering Fallout 4's release with the female protag's voice actress.
Max didn't drop the gun; The Ghoul shot the gun, making Max fumble and drop it.

Which, is also the explanation for what some people think is the biggest plot hole. Don't want to spoil, if iykyk. Ammunition type

Maximus didn't drop the gun The Ghoul shot it making him misfire and drop it.
Cant wait till next year when they finish a series that released all the episodes together 😬👍😊
Yeaaahh boy!! As a person who never played the game. What a fun show and entertaining lore to dive into.

"Ghoul gotta go because he killed the dog."
Oh, fellas... You have no idea. 🥺
This world runs on the game logic, since it's canon to the games, that's why some things seem wacky and unrealistic like the turret missing.
"The Murder & The Dirt". Sound like a spaghetti western.
Nice seeing Micheal Rapaport in a Video Game property lolol
Love the show my dudes, cheers! 😎

Christ this took so long to drop. Do yoy guys have this style of edited watch along on the patreon as well?
He didn't drop the gun, you can see the impact on it when it gets shot out of his hand.
The Last of Us is my favourite show that's an adaptation of a videogame's story.
Fallout is my favourite show that's a Videogame Adaptation.
Arcane is my favourite show that's based on a videogame's lore.
They're all really good.
... I love Arcane the most though.
Is it the size of the thumb 👍 or is it the length of the arm? Somebody recruit WeeMan
Well, you're not wrong about merch, but the bobbleheads are also in game.
"The Ghoul gotta die"
Hmmm...
Waiting on this one.
i'm thinking knight Titus deeply wanted to delete himself for a while already and he found the perfect occasion . Self deletion by squire-threatening I feel is hat he did .
...go put some Dog Juice on it... 😂
Yeah, that made me slightly queasy lol

HOORAY
How can anything "banana flavored" be considered humane?
Don't worry, we won't come for you when you miss references. With that said, let's talk about the upload rate...
That turret was a mk1 version.
I can stand still and it would have maybe a 5% to hit me.
They are very poor at aiming in the games.
Last of us over Fallout? Silly
👍 💥 😢
dog people are weird.
