We've all gravelly misunderstood this entire time that Jake isn't ordering pizza for us, that's how the crew celebrates on Fridays by eating pizza off of a nude Baldino after the cameras are off. By all means take my slice.... please
On the Red Dead 2 mail-order house, they were sold by Sears & Roebuck (yes that Sears in the mall) back in the late 1800s. We still have them today. You can order a house with all the parts numbered with plans. Think IKEA turned up to 11.
I actually grew up in one from the late 1800's. My family owned it for 30+ years. When my parents visited the sears building in Chicago, they saw the same inlaid wood floor designs that were in our house.
*The Wicker Mam* ~ Original one from 1973 with Edward Woodward in the lead is the absolute best. No crappy CGI, and an ending that at the time was the most horrific in a non-horror movie. People forget, it wasn't a straight up horror film.
@@CBall97CEP Yep, exactly this. Fun to see it make a return in MGS5 and more than just one cutscene. Incidentally it's use was, ironically, more historically accurate in MGS3.
@@devonhar and mgs3. Naked snake during the virtuous mission was blasted with radiation frim a Davey crocket and then extracted via Fulton. There are also the floating platforms soon after the fight with the pain and the escape on Eva's bike.
I mean the Fulton recovery system is seen in action in The Dark Knight. Edits: There IS a plane that's powered by far field tech IRL. AND You CAN fully buy 'non modular' mail-order homes like in RDR2- They're log cabin homes, you choose the style you want and the company brings you all the logs and the sizes you'll need to put them together.
The system has been around since the 50's. It was similarly used in reverse, when Spy Satellites of the 1960's would drop "film buckets" for retrieval. Imagine being the guy who missed that pick up.
It was in at least a CIV title, too. Its strength was that it had the stats of the cannonn but took fewer strategic resources to make. Its weakness is that mentioning the Hwacha is often met with "Gesundheit!"
Ahhh, Falcon. I don't know how you've managed this for years, but you sound more sarcastic and even more bored every single video. My spirit animal. I thought you'd reach the boredness and sarcasticness limit long ago. But nope, my man gets even more monotone reach and every upload. Don't change Falcon. We love you for it.
It's actually harder to make a mini-nuke. Using less uranium means harder to reach critical mass. On top of that, the explosives used to start the reaction have to be significantly more powerful and a container that holds it all together as well.
You can make smaller-yield devices with less explosive requirement with other elements, though most of those would only be viable in an IRBM fired from a production facility (you don't want your fuel to have decayed significantly before using it). That is assuming you aren't changing fundamental laws of physics, which the ease of fusion they have suggests has occurred
One issue of "micro-nukes" is that you can't save a lot of fission fuel. IIRC, Davey Crockett had a yield of ~11 tons (that's right, tons, NOT kilotons) and took about 1/3 as much fuel as a Little Boy, which had a yield of ~16 kilotons. Today, we have means to improve the situation a bit, but physics is a harsh mistress and still limits efficiency of micro-nukes. The tricks in use are: -- the implosion design, which was tested first in Fat Man, where you don't propel two hemispheres against each other, but put a layer of explosives around a hollow sphere. The explosion will implode the sphere (compress it into a smaller but solid sphere, which is easily critical). -- fusion boosting, which means easily fusible isotopes like deuterium and lithium inside the bomb. Fusion produces _many_ neutrons, while fission produces very energetic neutrons but takes many to progress efficiently. The fusion yield of these charges is almost negligible, but the neutrons added are not and help use the fission fuel more efficiently. First-rate nuclear powers don't have any weapons without fusion boosting in their arsenal, and only implosion weapons. -- full-scale nuclear fusion: the so-called hydrogen bomb uses fusible isotopes in quantity, usually lithium, which isn't as efficient as deuterium but solid and more dense. Worse yield per kg, but far better yield per liter. Even these weapons don't get more than about half their yield from fusion; a big chunk still comes from fission. Due to the extremely high number of neutrons involved, the fissile fuel is used VERY efficiently. All strategic weapons of first-rate nuclear powers are therefore hydrogen bombs. They're more complicated but save on expensive fission fuel, or have a multiple of the yield a "regular" fission weapon of the same weight would have.

The balloon thing was a method developed to exfil operatives from situations that an aircraft cannot land, its physics check out and as long as your not facing upwind is a gentle ride, however I remember a documentary where one guy was facing the wind and due to the air pressure couldn’t breathe for the 90ish seconds or so it took to reel him in, nowadays we have helicopters however I wouldn’t be surprised to hear this still goes on in situations where helicopters are not able to access. The Davey Crockett was discontinued due the safety concerns over radiation exposure to the squad who fired it. Sry military buff here. :-)

I grew up in a Victorian kit house from the late 1800's. My parents think it was from the sears catalog, since they saw the exact same inlaid floor designs from our house in the sears building in Chicago.
My grandmother had some old Sears catalogs and I remember seeing that. I thought for sure, it was some sort of joke listing or something. I looked through that thing so much and it had pretty much anything you could find at a store and more. The prices were so amazing. Men's three piece suit, $6.50. I finally asked her about the "houses for sale" and asked her to explain it. She told me, yes, you ordered a house, they sent you the pieces, and you built it yourself 😲 Awesome.
NUMBER 1: The Fallout "Fat Man" is a very large spring mortar. A slightly smaller version was used by the British in WW2 as an anti-tank weapon. It was called the PIAT, the Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank. Being as the Fallout universe splits from ours AFTER WW2, it's likely the PIAT was an important reference to the team working on the Fat Man in the buildup to the Apocalypse.
I’ve watched A LOT of your videos and this is one of my favourites, and yet it seems to have relatively few views. That’s a shame. Great video though. :)
The microwave power transfer thing reminds me of how they recharged Kiryu in Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla. Glad to know it's a real-life thing for when we start getting giant monster attacks.
#2 Mail Order Houses Years ago my grandfather was at a county fair (in BC Canada) and he was able to buy a Lindal log home at the fair for about $5000 - we're talking way back in the 40's, so $5000 was a lot of money back then. When the salesman asked when and where to ship the home - everything was included (transportation of the pieces, building the home etc.) my grandfather said that in about 40 years they could deliver the home to his retirement address. Yes, 40 years from the time he bought the home, and the contract didn't say when the home had to be built. When my grandfather decided to retire, he got his dream log home built for free - as he had already purchased the home 40 years earlier.
a little interesting fact: in the country of brazil, a company name ElectroBras is responsible for manufacturing high level energy and sell it to local companies that refine it into comsumer level energy and re-sell it to households they used a few giant "generator" to transfer energy over-the-air from one powerplant to another in 2014 one of the powerplants started to receive less and less power over a few months, and wouldn't you know it... there was an construction site for an apartment building nearby... and it was being delays for weeks because the works were getting sick shortly after starting on the site (reportedly someone has contracted cancer) they had to shut down the generators for the building to not being condemned as a biohazard, but the powerplan on the receiving end of that generator were working at lower capacity for 2 years until they could relocate the generator
i mean, both are true. lol there was also the personal nukes from Starship troopers. tho i thought this was going to be a reference to that infamous trump speech about building small shoulder launched nukes.
I feel like this is cheating as well as something that many already know by now but technically Silent Hill does exist. It's called Centralia, Pennsylvania No pyramid head shaped people or existential horrors sadly although there IS a perpetual "fog." Although it's less fog and more smoke. A fire burns under the now abandoned town that is a giant trash fire and will probably burn for another 50 years at least
I live in a Sears house! Built in 1928 or 1929. I live right across the street from a bike path that used to be railroad tracks. The train literally stopped in front of the property, and the lumber was unloaded and the house was built. Actually, this is a group of three similar Sears houses in a row that was from the same family before we bought in 2000. This is an old house, but it has a lot of character.
Would have loved to see the hidden blade from assassins creed actually existing in real life. I know many people have made many different models of it, but none are as efficient as in the game.
The fulton recovery system did exist before mgsv it was in MGS PW, it was kinda neat to launch people and tanks in the air and alsot the nuclear warhead launcher in MGS 3
Funny you should mention the Fatman, as not only is it based on the Davy Crockett in terms of it being a one-man nuke launcher, it also takes heavy inspiration from the WWII-era PIAT launcher in terms of appearance, the difference being that the PIAT was a spring-loaded anti-tank launcher, whereas the Fatman uses magnetic acceleration to lob its mini nukes toward the wielder’s intended target.
A version of the Black Tusk Warhound is the antagonist of a Black Mirror episode ("Metalhead"). If you have them nearby, a home improvement store called Menard's has their own DIY houses, similar to the old Sears & Roebuck idea.
fun fact: bosozoku was actually started by kamikaze pilots who didn’t get to… do their thing. so they bought bikes, made them look crazy and started gangs. there’s also a ton of different subcultures, it’s very interesting
#2 .... Allwood is a modern company that sells entire cabins as mail order kits online. Their biggest kit is $80,000, and is a 2 story 1300sq ft house.
The Davy Crockett was used in mgs3. It was what the boss handed volgin. The reason it was never placed completely in service. It's maximum range, still placed the shooter in the fallout region. I've seen one in person. It was in the apg musuem when I was in ait. The 50s and 60s were insane in regards to nuclear weapons. The Brits toyed around with placing nuclear mines in the fulda gap, the mines needed to be kept warm, so they would've placed chickens with them. Certian odas and navy seal platoons were trained to conduct military free fall jumps with man portable nuclear weapons, emplace them and attempt to unass the area, but they all knew, it was a one way trip.
They still sell mail order cabins. You can order a log cabin in the mail. They send you all the logs, pre cut, pre beveled. All you have to do is put it together. There are definitely blueprints and diagrams that come with it, but anyone who's had a set of Lincoln logs knows that there would be multiple ways to put it all together. Obviously you'd have to figure out your own electrical, and plumbing solutions.... but these are marketed toward people who have general knowledge of such things, or who want to be off the grid. Kind of like your No Man's Sky base on New Zanzabar 35.
Bosuzoku was started by kamikaze pilots who never got their turn in ww2. Also it's not about giant spoilers, it's about extreme exterior, while the spoiler on the McLaren you showed in the beginning is actually designed for aerodynamics.
1 - Falcon is a bird, bird is the word, bird bird bird the bird is the word 2 - MGS 5 baloons have already been shown in Batman The Dark Knight, the scene where Batman goes to China and arrest the mob boss, he uses a fulton baloon to extract himself and the gangster 3 - when Elon Musk or Bezzos buy Boston Dynamics we're all fucked and the machine revolution will begin
oh and about the 1# nucler catapult, MGS 3 also had something like that, in the game they made a "portable Davy Crocket", the one Volgin fires on the russian base
The big spoilers on the backs of cars isn’t just a look it’s so the cars front wheels don’t lift of the fucking ground when they start going faster then intended
I've actually seen the Fulton recovery device first in Black Ops for the DS, at the end of the last mission where you have to escape... I can't remember, a coal mine or something after infiltrating it to relay radio information to your buddies and blowing it up, before you activate your own Fulton and a plane picks you up. Though as a child, I couldn't tell very well what the guy was doing and initially thought he threw some kind of lure into the air.
The mail order house out of Sears and Roebuck or whatever was such a good idea. Anyone could afford a house that way especially a brand new house. The pricing even included the nails, glue, and instructions. I wish I could do that with a modern house 🏠
I used to build big walk out decks on houses that were still being built and our lumber would arrive in huge pre made packs and all we would have to do is cut and assemble but all the pieces were there.
I'm happy to finally have confirmation Falcon is indeed a bird.
Still have my doubts... really has a lot of cat tendencies
Clearly you were not a true believer of the Falcon
I always suspected.....but I was never 100% sure
Your faith was rewarded.

I would assume a majority of the GTA Online playerbase. Most of them being between the ages of 6-12 they're often supprised by the most normal of things.
Also why are they acting like it’s an exclusive thing to gta. There are so many game where it is a much more prominent feature
Pretty sure spoilers on cars have been around longer than video games. Definitely not a “video game thing you won’t believe EXISTS.” You see them pretty frequently driving around. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for filler content are we?
Your videos give us all wing Falcon so we can all fly!
the fulton recovery system not only featured on metal gear but also in cod black ops cold war too, there is a mission where you and a team member got rescued that way.
Boston dynamics is the embodiment of “too preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should”
not really, the walking robots are used in minefield crearance and bomb disposal, so are literally life saving...
@@SevCaswell that’s exactly what BD wants you to think, open your third eye…
@@OrgnlProductions my third eye is open, as are both my regular eyes and my ears.
I also have a functioning brain and recieved an education that encouraged critical thinking.
I have seen these robots at work.
@@SevCaswell my guy, they are called jokes, too much crap in this world to not laugh once and a while, it’s not that serious my dude
Im a bosozoku, its great that bosozoku culture get more recognition from the world today, even we get many pop culture reference lately from anime tokyo revenger to gta online, lost judgement and other video games 🤩🤩🤩
Love the attention to Bosozoku as a huge car guy :)
the Fulton recovery system is also used in one of the Nolan Batman movies.
I grew up in a Victorian kit house from the late 1800's. My parents think it was from the sears catalog, since they saw the exact same inlaid floor designs from our house in the sears building in Chicago.
My grandmother had some old Sears catalogs and I remember seeing that. I thought for sure, it was some sort of joke listing or something. I looked through that thing so much and it had pretty much anything you could find at a store and more. The prices were so amazing. Men's three piece suit, $6.50. I finally asked her about the "houses for sale" and asked her to explain it. She told me, yes, you ordered a house, they sent you the pieces, and you built it yourself 😲 Awesome.
NUMBER 1: The Fallout "Fat Man" is a very large spring mortar. A slightly smaller version was used by the British in WW2 as an anti-tank weapon. It was called the PIAT, the Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank.
Being as the Fallout universe splits from ours AFTER WW2, it's likely the PIAT was an important reference to the team working on the Fat Man in the buildup to the Apocalypse.
I’ve watched A LOT of your videos and this is one of my favourites, and yet it seems to have relatively few views. That’s a shame.
Great video though. :)
The Davy Crocket - mentioned in MGS 3 at the beginning by Volgan aftr the Joy hands it over to him.
I love the fact that you use the iron maiden single art for the wicker man segment of this vid
The balloon escape thing was designed by Batman. It's what he used for picking up Lao and escaping from Hong Kong.
The microwave power transfer thing reminds me of how they recharged Kiryu in Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla. Glad to know it's a real-life thing for when we start getting giant monster attacks.
#2 Mail Order Houses
Years ago my grandfather was at a county fair (in BC Canada) and he was able to buy a Lindal log home at the fair for about $5000 - we're talking way back in the 40's, so $5000 was a lot of money back then.
When the salesman asked when and where to ship the home - everything was included (transportation of the pieces, building the home etc.) my grandfather said that in about 40 years they could deliver the home to his retirement address. Yes, 40 years from the time he bought the home, and the contract didn't say when the home had to be built.
When my grandfather decided to retire, he got his dream log home built for free - as he had already purchased the home 40 years earlier.
a little interesting fact:
in the country of brazil, a company name ElectroBras is responsible for manufacturing high level energy and sell it to local companies that refine it into comsumer level energy and re-sell it to households
they used a few giant "generator" to transfer energy over-the-air from one powerplant to another
in 2014 one of the powerplants started to receive less and less power over a few months, and wouldn't you know it... there was an construction site for an apartment building nearby... and it was being delays for weeks because the works were getting sick shortly after starting on the site
(reportedly someone has contracted cancer)
they had to shut down the generators for the building to not being condemned as a biohazard, but the powerplan on the receiving end of that generator were working at lower capacity for 2 years until they could relocate the generator
I can’t believe you said “the fatman from fallout is real” instead of “the davy crockett from metal gear solid 3 is real”
came to the comments for this :)
i mean, both are true. lol there was also the personal nukes from Starship troopers. tho i thought this was going to be a reference to that infamous trump speech about building small shoulder launched nukes.
the wicker man reminds me of that end scene in Midsommer
I feel like this is cheating as well as something that many already know by now but technically Silent Hill does exist. It's called Centralia, Pennsylvania
No pyramid head shaped people or existential horrors sadly although there IS a perpetual "fog." Although it's less fog and more smoke. A fire burns under the now abandoned town that is a giant trash fire and will probably burn for another 50 years at least
The mininuke launchers (realistic ones) were also in mgs3, when the boss fired one.
I live in a Sears house! Built in 1928 or 1929. I live right across the street from a bike path that used to be railroad tracks. The train literally stopped in front of the property, and the lumber was unloaded and the house was built. Actually, this is a group of three similar Sears houses in a row that was from the same family before we bought in 2000. This is an old house, but it has a lot of character.
This is all very cool, and super interesting. Thanks for this amazing video.
The McLaren Senna has a rear wing to produce downforce. The Honda Civic has a spoiler to reduce lift.
Would have loved to see the hidden blade from assassins creed actually existing in real life. I know many people have made many different models of it, but none are as efficient as in the game.
Yea becaus ingame doesn’t it require cuttin a finger? Maybe that’s why?
@@XXnlcodXX the one in AC 2 and later games didn't require cutting the ring finger.
@@Arijit_Das_ this i didn’t know, you are right tho like, some of these assasins creed weapond and gAdgets look awsome
@@XXnlcodXX yeah, really awesome indeed.
The fulton recovery system did exist before mgsv it was in MGS PW, it was kinda neat to launch people and tanks in the air and alsot the nuclear warhead launcher in MGS 3
Funny you should mention the Fatman, as not only is it based on the Davy Crockett in terms of it being a one-man nuke launcher, it also takes heavy inspiration from the WWII-era PIAT launcher in terms of appearance, the difference being that the PIAT was a spring-loaded anti-tank launcher, whereas the Fatman uses magnetic acceleration to lob its mini nukes toward the wielder’s intended target.
A version of the Black Tusk Warhound is the antagonist of a Black Mirror episode ("Metalhead").
If you have them nearby, a home improvement store called Menard's has their own DIY houses, similar to the old Sears & Roebuck idea.
fun fact: bosozoku was actually started by kamikaze pilots who didn’t get to… do their thing. so they bought bikes, made them look crazy and started gangs. there’s also a ton of different subcultures, it’s very interesting
#2 .... Allwood is a modern company that sells entire cabins as mail order kits online. Their biggest kit is $80,000, and is a 2 story 1300sq ft house.
The Davy Crockett was used in mgs3. It was what the boss handed volgin. The reason it was never placed completely in service. It's maximum range, still placed the shooter in the fallout region. I've seen one in person. It was in the apg musuem when I was in ait. The 50s and 60s were insane in regards to nuclear weapons. The Brits toyed around with placing nuclear mines in the fulda gap, the mines needed to be kept warm, so they would've placed chickens with them. Certian odas and navy seal platoons were trained to conduct military free fall jumps with man portable nuclear weapons, emplace them and attempt to unass the area, but they all knew, it was a one way trip.
The designers for GTA 5’s cars make me VERY happy.
They still sell mail order cabins. You can order a log cabin in the mail. They send you all the logs, pre cut, pre beveled. All you have to do is put it together. There are definitely blueprints and diagrams that come with it, but anyone who's had a set of Lincoln logs knows that there would be multiple ways to put it all together.
Obviously you'd have to figure out your own electrical, and plumbing solutions.... but these are marketed toward people who have general knowledge of such things, or who want to be off the grid. Kind of like your No Man's Sky base on New Zanzabar 35.
Bosuzoku was started by kamikaze pilots who never got their turn in ww2. Also it's not about giant spoilers, it's about extreme exterior, while the spoiler on the McLaren you showed in the beginning is actually designed for aerodynamics.
1 - Falcon is a bird, bird is the word, bird bird bird the bird is the word
2 - MGS 5 baloons have already been shown in Batman The Dark Knight, the scene where Batman goes to China and arrest the mob boss, he uses a fulton baloon to extract himself and the gangster
3 - when Elon Musk or Bezzos buy Boston Dynamics we're all fucked and the machine revolution will begin
oh and about the 1# nucler catapult, MGS 3 also had something like that, in the game they made a "portable Davy Crocket", the one Volgin fires on the russian base
The Fulton Recovery system was discontinued for use by the American military in 1996 I believe.
Interesting fact: The Rogue Warrior, "Demo" Dick Marcinko, did some testing for the Sky Hook and ended up using it in the SEAL teams.
The big spoilers on the backs of cars isn’t just a look it’s so the cars front wheels don’t lift of the fucking ground when they start going faster then intended
I seen the hwacha on myth busters one time. Gotta love that show for all the stuff they did 😂
The transition from microwaves scifi charging to stupid shaped throwing knife was rough
I've actually seen the Fulton recovery device first in Black Ops for the DS, at the end of the last mission where you have to escape... I can't remember, a coal mine or something after infiltrating it to relay radio information to your buddies and blowing it up, before you activate your own Fulton and a plane picks you up.
Though as a child, I couldn't tell very well what the guy was doing and initially thought he threw some kind of lure into the air.
the Fatman in Fallout games are seriously underpowered. The device itself is probably less powerful than conventional explosives
Imagine what our would would have been if the hover crafts developed in the 50s were further developed and survived to our time.
@Wayne Smith it doesn't have to be a fully flying car. Hover cars that only float a few inches off the ground works.
Falcon dropping all sorts knowledges in this one!
Volgin actually used a Davy Crockett in MGS3.
The mail order house out of Sears and Roebuck or whatever was such a good idea. Anyone could afford a house that way especially a brand new house. The pricing even included the nails, glue, and instructions. I wish I could do that with a modern house 🏠
Boston dynamics is now usarmy sponsored, some of their designs are mad scary
Lmao, They were probably laughing there ass's off at the pig, then it just butt wild on them once it recovered. 😅🤣🤣.
The MG5 thing was literally in Batman The Dark Knight.
You can also see a hiller in the national air and space museum in fairfax Virginia
Falcon, i love this man, that most interesting video you did... Because it's based on reality
The Wicker Man from the 70's with Cristopher Lee is one of my fav movies, they show the burning ritual.
I used to build big walk out decks on houses that were still being built and our lumber would arrive in huge pre made packs and all we would have to do is cut and assemble but all the pieces were there.
"I hope they don't do it now"
Nick cage: BEEES
Any and every car would look 50% cooler with a spoiler just sayin'
They also didn't even show the really ridiculous looking ones lol
It didn’t help the VW Bug Turbo!
Not sure an El Camino would look that great with one. :P
Yeah spoilers are cool, useless if you're not driving a fast car though.
The orignial Porsche Speedster would look like shit with a spoiler.
The Fulton Surface-to-Air Receovery system was called "Skyhook" it is also mentioned in the Dark Knight.
I'm not surprised that the Hwacha and that throwing dagger from Demon's Souls actually exist.
History is full of strange and wonderful things.
@3:43 It was mentioned in MGS3, in one of the codec calls with Major Zero.
No. 7 was utilized by Batman in The Dark Knight when he had to "extract" Lau out of China to bring him back to Gotham City.
Can we talk about the fact that the pig got pissed off at being spun around at Mach Jesus and attacked the crew?
😅
