Just an important reminder and clarification for people: Fallout is not and never was "If the 1950s just continued". It's more akin to "What if physics worked like 1950s sci-fi, and also semiconductors weren't invented until much later". The culture actually did in fact progress down similar lines as our timeline aside from some obvious differences, to the point where Nu-Metal existed. The Brotherhood of Steel was even possibly named after a metal band so terrible that it made the entire genre unpopular. The elements of the 1950s seen in the original games were part of a cultural revival, a sort of retro "Neo-50s" aesthetic adopted to hearken back to simpler, happier, more America is the sole superpower times during the resource wars. So that actual diesel powered semi truck very well could have been common in the fallout 1970s, and yes even an M1 Abrams could have theoretically existed, albeit as an old relic. Bethesda are the ones that leaned a little more into the pulpy 50s side of things, first in fallout 3 and then doubling down immensely in fallout 4.
The problem isnt that it exists, an abrams probably could exist in fallout, the problem is is that it just doesnt fit the aesthetic at all + there's already tanks that have been shown to exist in the fallout universe that *aren't* just straight up modern day ones
I remember when the frontier came out and had a bunch of weapons that didn't fit the style and looked like it was from halo and morons said it fit the style when it clearly didn't. I think if a gun looks more futuristic than big Mt you should reconsider

The Devs of the mod have made it pretty explicitly clear a lot of the mod is based on stuff from Fallout 1 and 2 (hell some of the key points in the mod are based off of lore snippets from the first two games) and in 1 and 2 there were a LOT of semi-modern/later cold war guns and objects just straight up in the game as normal weapons or set dressing like the P90 or L85 or the old-school G36. In fact I think you can actually see an old-school semi and an Abrhams in the old games, so it's more like a call-back than something out of place. Hell in theory that Abrhams is doing exactly what they would do with an old gas-guzzler like that in Fallout since they're short on gas; it can't move around a lot or be used like it was originally designed to but it's hard as hell to punch through and still has a working gun so make it a fancy pillbox for your bases. EDIT: Seems I misremembered the old Fallout tanks, but considering that they first entered service in 1980 and there are multiple 1980's things in Fallout already (including the Humvee) it's completely within reason they came into service, then the oil crisis hit and they got replaced by the nuclear-powered tanks we're used to in Fallout.
Everyone making the comment that oh technically possibly there could be an Abrams in the fallout universe stop coping please, Zach is right it's about the aesthetics an m1 Abrams does not fit in at all with any of the fallouts even the first two the M60 or m48 would have been a much better choice or just a Sherman like Zack said it's all about the aesthetics fallout's world doesn't really make sense and people that keep trying to make it make sense are kind of dumb in my opinion

The whole modern military in the Fallout universe, does exist. The memorial wall in the Museum of Freedom in Fallout 4 has modern soldiers and the 50 star flag on it towards the middle of the mural. It's interesting to look at.
In defense of Annai's character design, two things about Dreadlocks: 1) They aren't strictly a tropical culture thing, there's evidence the style was used by other groups like the Scandinavians. 2) Dreadlocks are a great way to keep your hair from feeling like a sweaty mop stuck to your skin when you're roasting in a desert, much less a radioactive desert in post-apocalyptic southern California.
there shouldn't even exist a need to defend it. It's a hairstyle, doesn't matter where it came from. Culture itself is formed by importing things originated elsewhere, and even the concept of appropriation is heavily debated. If the character was making a joke in a derogatory manner about another culture, sure, we could call it appropriation. Anyway, I don't think even Zach was making it to be anything more than a joke on the concept of appropriation, cause if he was being serious, then in turn calling it a "dirty" hairstyle would make it a racist comment. Which I'm sure it wasn't. So yeah, the whole thing was just a joke the way I see it :)
Gods I forgot how much I hated Annai, she and Kurtz should have been locked in a vault together to breed the absolute extreme of cringe and edge genes. Then that vault reactor should have gone critical to erase all trace of them.
Burt always reminded me of Walter from the big loubowski. You know John Goodmans character. Could be a combination of the two. Looking forward to more detective Zack and Dr Mike.
The Abrams tanks really bothered me when I played this mod as well. They just felt out of place and considering they're just being used as map decorations they didn't need to be included. I'm of a similar feeling about the 'normal' looking semi truck. That stuff just doesn't fit the overall design aesthetic of the Fallout universe.
@@CrystalGryphon_ I don't care what sort of motive power is driving the vehicle, what I'm bothered by is vehicles that are clearly just real world vehicles dropped into the game. You might be able to get away with using designs from the 50s or even some from the early 60s, but anything later than that looks really out of place.
@@amstrad00 The Devs of the mod have made it pretty explicitly clear a lot of the mod is based on stuff from Fallout 1 and 2 (hell some of the key points in the mod are based off of lore snippets from the first two games) and in 1 and 2 there were a LOT of semi-modern/later cold war guns just straight up in the game as normal weapons like the P90 or L85 or the old-school G36.

@@ParagonFury There are in fact not any Abrams in the isometric Fallout games, or any trucks that look like designs later than the 50s. Tactics did have a tank, but it wasn't a real world tank and looked like it was based on the Sherman. Tactics did also have a Humvee, which also looks out of place to me and was a bad choice by the developers of that game and one of many reasons most old school Fallout fans have chosen to forget the game ever existed. Also, I'm not talking guns here. I'm willing to accept more modern guns being in the games. (Though I'm of the opinion that the post 60s stuff also looks out of place.)
@@amstrad00 I mean the Abrams was designed pretty close to the era where Fallout was based off of. You just think it looks modern because it's still used today. Fallout's aesthetic isn't just the 50-60s anyways. A better argument would be that the Abrams is too angular when the stuff in Fallout has curves and rounds.
Nerd out time: Most vehicles were still using regular gas fuel in pre-war America because we still held the Alaskan oil-fields. (The last remaining oil to tap, which is why China tried invading it at one point.) The whole "all the cars are nuclear" thing was a Bethesda invention. In Fallout 2 there is a car that runs off micro-fusion cells, however it was a newer model and not ubiquitous. So seeing a regular truck isn't too shocking. The M1-abrams might be weird if only because, while we did have fuel it was at a premium and prices were crazy high, so fielding a tank when you have power armor seems silly. But it was the US military so silly's still plausible. The Fallout universe is *NOT* supposed to just be like "If the 50's continued on". Its *supposed* to be the retro-future that the 50's *imagined* could happened on top of what really happened, but further warped by fascism and the nationalistic patriotism of the 80's and 90's. Sorry, that's another thing Bethesda has warped people's perceptions about and is one of my infinite lists of pet-peeves. So as you get to rant about guns, I'm ranting about this. At least your rant is useful.
This mode is so different when you don't have the proper skill points to pass the speech and and special checks. In my play through I had all of the possible companions for the path of the scientists. Convinced the bounty hunter and her friend in power armor to follow. Along with getting a whole bunch of lore. It helps to do all the side stuff that builds a reputation with some of the other NPCs.
INTO THE BLACKHOLE, LETS GO! Zach, I can sympathize with things that break lore knowing that the person who made it spent a lot of time on it and not knowing why they also didn't see the issue :O
I hate to be that guy, but Zach would complain about the standard fallout vehicles and how they are functionally inept, so him complaining about a real world vehicle seems like you can’t satisfy him
I know things like modern tech in the Fallout universe bothers people, especially people like Zach, but I'm actually one of those people that get annoyed when something like that isn't in the Fallout world. I KNOW! I know. Fallout is a world where the 50's continued on, but it just irks me how far, yet behind the universe is in technology. The bombs dropped in 2076(?) and at that point we had nuclear powered tech, robots actually powered by said nuclear energy, advanced AI, energy weapons, wristwatches that can apparently act as maps and slow down your perspective of time, and genetic engineering that can create mutants and other abominations and yet, this world still has black and white videos/TV, radio shows, no internet, and no email? Yes, they don't have microchips and use vacuum tubes, but that doesn't stop me from thinking how stupidly advanced, yet unadvanced this world is.
That's... Kind of the point, though? Cultural progress paused in the United States circa 1945, and instead of focusing on miniaturization of technology, they instead focused on atomic power and large computer banks. This is basically a retro-futuristic style applied to a post-apocalypse. Stuff like the Abrams shouldn't exist because of the Divergence between the Fallout Universe and our world, especially seeing as world events that happened in Fallout are vastly different from our own. Massive cultural moments like the USSR falling straight up did not happen in the world of Fallout.
@@OKMBVideos It's not a "50's romp" as so many see it as, it's just an alternative timeline where the transistor wasn't invented until later. Go back and play Fallout's 1 and 2 and you'll see exactly what I mean.
@@theoldguard6143 I have played Fallout 1 and 2. Fallout 1 and 2 maintained a visual style that was retro-50's futuristic lite. It wasn't until Fallout 3 that the style was leaned into harder, and Fallout 4 that established that style definitively. The differences to the timeline extend FAR beyond just the transistor. Major events like the USSR collapsing didn't happen. The United States was split into Commonwealths. The lack of miniaturization of technology, and a whole lot more, are major examples of this world being completely different.
@@OKMBVideos Again it's still not retro-futuristic 50's schlock, it has a completely distinct visual style. It draws from the 80's, 20's, 60's, and moreso the 40's than the 50's.
@@theoldguard6143 Of course it's a distinct style, but it harken's back to 1950's retro-futurism with its design and style, and especially with its world. You can see it in countless places from community forums ( steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/535152511370543437/ and www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/91pk3i/why_is_fallout_so_inspired_by_the_1950s/ ) to Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(series)#Series_overview ) While the series definitely had inventions and cultural shifts post 1950's, the general style and visage of the games harken back to 1950's style Retrofuturism. This was the future, as was postulated by the 1950's, and the design decisions inherent to how people THOUGHT the future would be according to the 1950's is why the Abrams doesn't fit in the general aesthetic of the 1950's retro-futurism that Fallout was going for.

Hey Zach, don't beat yourself up over noticing and being frustrated by things that seem out of place. If you are making something set in an existing setting/universe then you ought to do your beat to keep your stuff consistent with what has been established and bot just flagrantly add stuff because "it's cool". Being critical about that stuff is how future folks can learn to do things better.
I absolutely agree with Zach's annoyance with inaccuracies. Take it as a positive if you find it annoying because (in my experience) most people that have trouble suspending disbelief lack the ignorance to do so.
Zach in this video: Tank is realistic, thus not Fallout-y, bad Zach in a later Fallout 4 video: Tank is unrealistic, thus not Fallout-y, bad I feel bad for mod authors *and* official dev teams now xD
I dont recall which gun russian roulette was played with in the origin of it, it mightve been the Nagant M1895 which has 7 rounds in it. The origin of it, or at least one that ive heard though it isnt like anyone really did it in the real world but it was done with all but one chamber containing a bullet. You would spin it and provided it was well maintained gravity would ensure the one empty chamber comes up on top. More of a party trick kinda thing. I dread having to say it: Dont try that at home or anywhere for that matter.
The 4 tracked, Dual Barreled, Super Heavy tank from Fallout 4 would have looked much more in theme then the Abrams did. I have my own misgivings about the tank in Fallout 4, But dear lord an sharp, angular Abrams looks way too awkward in the rounded aesthetics of Fallout.
i think everyone has their own pet "fallout is being stupid" peeve my personal pet peeve is how you can play an east-asian character in fallout 4 (objectively good) but also find terminal entries in that same game that have japanese-americans get hate-crimed by their neighbors for resembling chinese people and sent to internment camps, in a deliberate inversion of how chinese-americans experienced hate crimes during world war 2 (which is bad, but it's not because the subject matter specifically is bad, but because it doesn't gel at all with the lived reality or lack thereof of the player character you can be) my *other* personal pet peeve is how talon company are paid to be mustache-twirlingly evil and it makes negative sense, and even thinking about it now, i can feel my brain cells melting
To be fair, the 'recently discharged Alaskan Campaign veteran' thing would probably trump the 'looks Chinese' thing for a lot of people- and we only see one day in Sole's life pre war, so it's quite possible they _did_ get hate crimed a bunch anyway.
@@nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526 the tone of the opening is too cheery for someone who may or may not have gotten hatecrimed before. i understand that it's *possible* but i do not consider it at all likely. also, in no world does accomplishment in war trump racism, because black soldiers in world war 2 faced segregation in the army camps and then had to come home to more of the same (they were literally *mobbed* by white civilians). sure, *fighting* in world war 2 *contributed* to the civil rights movement, but make no mistake, civil rights still had to be won after the war was over.
The Abrams was definitely jarring when I first ran into it, but Fallout, especially older titles do have a lot of 80's and 90's stuff in it. Not sure if it or the horrid (but very Atompunk) tanks in Fallout 4 are better or worse.
For the Abrams rant: It would have made more sense if they put in a M60 because at least THAT was made in the 50s and was even better version of a Paton tank.
Dude that buggy in New California is almost a game changer. It sucks in Frontier but here in NC it works outstandingly well.

Very white people. lol
@@pbsixgun6 Vikings fall under the umbrella of Scandinavians.
there shouldn't even exist a need to defend it. It's a hairstyle, doesn't matter where it came from.
Culture itself is formed by importing things originated elsewhere, and even the concept of appropriation is heavily debated.
If the character was making a joke in a derogatory manner about another culture, sure, we could call it appropriation.
Anyway, I don't think even Zach was making it to be anything more than a joke on the concept of appropriation, cause if he was being serious, then in turn calling it a "dirty" hairstyle would make it a racist comment. Which I'm sure it wasn't.
So yeah, the whole thing was just a joke the way I see it :)
@@luctardin yeah fr, its a fuckin apocalypse, cut your hair short keep it long pony tail. it is a post post post post apocalyptic story.

Gods I forgot how much I hated Annai, she and Kurtz should have been locked in a vault together to breed the absolute extreme of cringe and edge genes. Then that vault reactor should have gone critical to erase all trace of them.
Annai positively *reeks* of OC DONUT STEELE
You totally didn't sound edgy here.
Not one bit.
wtf is this comment lmao there is no way this isnt ironical, bait or a satire.
Almost every culture on earth has had dreadlocks
9:32 going in the Out if context new vegas for sure.
Oh, she's a mutant all right, just not a SUPER MUTANT!
Burt always reminded me of Walter from the big loubowski. You know John Goodmans character. Could be a combination of the two. Looking forward to more detective Zack and Dr Mike.
That's a MATN level pun title there

I’m thinking the next Zach is gonna be an electrician
The Abrams tanks really bothered me when I played this mod as well. They just felt out of place and considering they're just being used as map decorations they didn't need to be included. I'm of a similar feeling about the 'normal' looking semi truck. That stuff just doesn't fit the overall design aesthetic of the Fallout universe.
But they literally had gas powered vehicles in Fallout still. They were basically the "classics" of the Fallout universe
@@CrystalGryphon_ I don't care what sort of motive power is driving the vehicle, what I'm bothered by is vehicles that are clearly just real world vehicles dropped into the game. You might be able to get away with using designs from the 50s or even some from the early 60s, but anything later than that looks really out of place.
@@amstrad00 The Devs of the mod have made it pretty explicitly clear a lot of the mod is based on stuff from Fallout 1 and 2 (hell some of the key points in the mod are based off of lore snippets from the first two games) and in 1 and 2 there were a LOT of semi-modern/later cold war guns just straight up in the game as normal weapons like the P90 or L85 or the old-school G36.
In fact I think you can actually see an old-school semi and an Abrhams in the old games.
@@ParagonFury There are in fact not any Abrams in the isometric Fallout games, or any trucks that look like designs later than the 50s. Tactics did have a tank, but it wasn't a real world tank and looked like it was based on the Sherman. Tactics did also have a Humvee, which also looks out of place to me and was a bad choice by the developers of that game and one of many reasons most old school Fallout fans have chosen to forget the game ever existed.
Also, I'm not talking guns here. I'm willing to accept more modern guns being in the games. (Though I'm of the opinion that the post 60s stuff also looks out of place.)
@@amstrad00 I mean the Abrams was designed pretty close to the era where Fallout was based off of. You just think it looks modern because it's still used today. Fallout's aesthetic isn't just the 50-60s anyways.
A better argument would be that the Abrams is too angular when the stuff in Fallout has curves and rounds.
The boys from brazil is a great freakin movie
Nerd out time: Most vehicles were still using regular gas fuel in pre-war America because we still held the Alaskan oil-fields. (The last remaining oil to tap, which is why China tried invading it at one point.) The whole "all the cars are nuclear" thing was a Bethesda invention. In Fallout 2 there is a car that runs off micro-fusion cells, however it was a newer model and not ubiquitous. So seeing a regular truck isn't too shocking.
The M1-abrams might be weird if only because, while we did have fuel it was at a premium and prices were crazy high, so fielding a tank when you have power armor seems silly. But it was the US military so silly's still plausible.
The Fallout universe is *NOT* supposed to just be like "If the 50's continued on". Its *supposed* to be the retro-future that the 50's *imagined* could happened on top of what really happened, but further warped by fascism and the nationalistic patriotism of the 80's and 90's. Sorry, that's another thing Bethesda has warped people's perceptions about and is one of my infinite lists of pet-peeves. So as you get to rant about guns, I'm ranting about this. At least your rant is useful.
This mode is so different when you don't have the proper skill points to pass the speech and and special checks.
In my play through I had all of the possible companions for the path of the scientists. Convinced the bounty hunter and her friend in power armor to follow. Along with getting a whole bunch of lore.
It helps to do all the side stuff that builds a reputation with some of the other NPCs.
Is it just me or does it feel like Zack and Mike are secretly long lost brothers?
Was playing video games with old episodes in the background then i decided that I should get some sleep (it's 3am) then I saw this and now I'm here :)
There was a T-90 in the last episode. Why no one uses the Shermans, pattons, pershings, and bulldogs is beyond me.
Annai's voice makes me feel... things... God I wish she was in the mod more.
Zach, you might not read this, but they also had gas powered vehicles in Fallout
We are so proud of you Zach for being true to yourself 😌 lol
INTO THE BLACKHOLE, LETS GO!
Zach, I can sympathize with things that break lore knowing that the person who made it spent a lot of time on it and not knowing why they also didn't see the issue :O
I half expected
‘Aww! I like that hat! *pulls out rifle with hat-wanting intent* I really like that hat!’
There are white Jamaicans you know. They speak in the same heavy accent too.
Oh god. It begins
I hate to be that guy, but Zach would complain about the standard fallout vehicles and how they are functionally inept, so him complaining about a real world vehicle seems like you can’t satisfy him
I didn't realize this mod was this bad until you guys reviewed it
This series gives me life
Cultural appropriation is a silly concept. What are trends if not appropriation? It is a good thing to share culture.
It's the fact that there are disrespectful ways that people represent cultures they have no connection to
By the way, the music in the game isn't copyrighted! It's actually sung by martin purvis, the same guy who made the music for The frontier.
Sweet merciful Jesus, a caravan escort mission across the entire map that can't be skipped without a skill check? My prayers have been answered!
I know things like modern tech in the Fallout universe bothers people, especially people like Zach, but I'm actually one of those people that get annoyed when something like that isn't in the Fallout world. I KNOW! I know. Fallout is a world where the 50's continued on, but it just irks me how far, yet behind the universe is in technology. The bombs dropped in 2076(?) and at that point we had nuclear powered tech, robots actually powered by said nuclear energy, advanced AI, energy weapons, wristwatches that can apparently act as maps and slow down your perspective of time, and genetic engineering that can create mutants and other abominations and yet, this world still has black and white videos/TV, radio shows, no internet, and no email? Yes, they don't have microchips and use vacuum tubes, but that doesn't stop me from thinking how stupidly advanced, yet unadvanced this world is.
That's... Kind of the point, though? Cultural progress paused in the United States circa 1945, and instead of focusing on miniaturization of technology, they instead focused on atomic power and large computer banks.
This is basically a retro-futuristic style applied to a post-apocalypse. Stuff like the Abrams shouldn't exist because of the Divergence between the Fallout Universe and our world, especially seeing as world events that happened in Fallout are vastly different from our own. Massive cultural moments like the USSR falling straight up did not happen in the world of Fallout.
@@OKMBVideos It's not a "50's romp" as so many see it as, it's just an alternative timeline where the transistor wasn't invented until later. Go back and play Fallout's 1 and 2 and you'll see exactly what I mean.
@@theoldguard6143 I have played Fallout 1 and 2. Fallout 1 and 2 maintained a visual style that was retro-50's futuristic lite. It wasn't until Fallout 3 that the style was leaned into harder, and Fallout 4 that established that style definitively.
The differences to the timeline extend FAR beyond just the transistor. Major events like the USSR collapsing didn't happen. The United States was split into Commonwealths. The lack of miniaturization of technology, and a whole lot more, are major examples of this world being completely different.
@@OKMBVideos Again it's still not retro-futuristic 50's schlock, it has a completely distinct visual style. It draws from the 80's, 20's, 60's, and moreso the 40's than the 50's.
@@theoldguard6143 Of course it's a distinct style, but it harken's back to 1950's retro-futurism with its design and style, and especially with its world. You can see it in countless places from community forums ( steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/535152511370543437/ and www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/91pk3i/why_is_fallout_so_inspired_by_the_1950s/ ) to Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(series)#Series_overview )
While the series definitely had inventions and cultural shifts post 1950's, the general style and visage of the games harken back to 1950's style Retrofuturism. This was the future, as was postulated by the 1950's, and the design decisions inherent to how people THOUGHT the future would be according to the 1950's is why the Abrams doesn't fit in the general aesthetic of the 1950's retro-futurism that Fallout was going for.
Fallout New Vegas = a great open world game with tons of great (ish) npcs and a nice story with multiple endings and modding capabilities.

@@peckneck2439 brother that STILL don't take away from what it IS and didn't you hear the interview for frontier?
Not really sure what was up with the pathfinding on the way to Fort Daggerpoint's front door, I usually have issues with that part as well and I don't have the knowledge or talent to look into fixing it myself so I just deal.
Those semi trucks have the same aesthetic as the fire engines and dump trucks in Fallout 76. So they're now retroactively lore-friendly.
Okay, the bit about being dead for tax reasons at the end was hilarious.
Really wasn't expecting a Douglas Addams reference in this.
Hey Zach, don't beat yourself up over noticing and being frustrated by things that seem out of place. If you are making something set in an existing setting/universe then you ought to do your beat to keep your stuff consistent with what has been established and bot just flagrantly add stuff because "it's cool". Being critical about that stuff is how future folks can learn to do things better.
i've been playing all the fallout games in years idk how the multiplayer mods works XD and i love these duo
AND I RAN SO FAR AAAAAAAAAWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I JUST RAAAAAAAN I RAN ALL NIGHT AND DAAAAAAAY
I like how detective Zach has the same voice actor as Terrance Shepard
I absolutely agree with Zach's annoyance with inaccuracies. Take it as a positive if you find it annoying because (in my experience) most people that have trouble suspending disbelief lack the ignorance to do so.
i knew when mike running around on his own, that the m1a1 was there and that zach was going to say something about it
they could have used a M60A1 instead of the M1A1 Abrams
Be careful endcard Zach, it is quite difficult to stop being dead. Not just when physically dead but also when legally dead.
Mike's time machine is so broken now it affects time-space continuum of the Earth's timelines causing heavy weaponry to disappear and appear.
Annai are you okay? Are you okay Annai, are you okay, Annai?
Zach in this video: Tank is realistic, thus not Fallout-y, bad
Zach in a later Fallout 4 video: Tank is unrealistic, thus not Fallout-y, bad
I feel bad for mod authors *and* official dev teams now xD
I dont recall which gun russian roulette was played with in the origin of it, it mightve been the Nagant M1895 which has 7 rounds in it. The origin of it, or at least one that ive heard though it isnt like anyone really did it in the real world but it was done with all but one chamber containing a bullet. You would spin it and provided it was well maintained gravity would ensure the one empty chamber comes up on top. More of a party trick kinda thing. I dread having to say it: Dont try that at home or anywhere for that matter.
I love Detective Zach, I aspire to be just like him if I ever decide to become a Detective.

Zach's nerd voice makes my jaw muscles quiver and my tongue get restless.
I hate it.
Same. I tried skipping forward but he just kept going on and on until I just had to stop the video.
trust me Zach, It is not just you. I noticed the Abrams and the missile Launchers during that stupid mortar battle and was confused
The 4 tracked, Dual Barreled, Super Heavy tank from Fallout 4 would have looked much more in theme then the Abrams did. I have my own misgivings about the tank in Fallout 4, But dear lord an sharp, angular Abrams looks way too awkward in the rounded aesthetics of Fallout.
I should not have taken a drink right before detective zach said "I've got nerves of steel and balls of gallium"
My favorite mutant slogan is when they scream “FREEEEEDOOOOOOM” in f3
a flock of seagulls reference in a video title is unexpected but welcome
at 20:53 it literally looks like you've been transported to the backrooms like I feel like I can see walls and a floor
It's a dev room, so yes
This title is such an obscure reference. I actually sang it. Well played, Good Sirs. Well played.
i think everyone has their own pet "fallout is being stupid" peeve
my personal pet peeve is how you can play an east-asian character in fallout 4 (objectively good) but also find terminal entries in that same game that have japanese-americans get hate-crimed by their neighbors for resembling chinese people and sent to internment camps, in a deliberate inversion of how chinese-americans experienced hate crimes during world war 2 (which is bad, but it's not because the subject matter specifically is bad, but because it doesn't gel at all with the lived reality or lack thereof of the player character you can be)
my *other* personal pet peeve is how talon company are paid to be mustache-twirlingly evil and it makes negative sense, and even thinking about it now, i can feel my brain cells melting
To be fair, the 'recently discharged Alaskan Campaign veteran' thing would probably trump the 'looks Chinese' thing for a lot of people- and we only see one day in Sole's life pre war, so it's quite possible they _did_ get hate crimed a bunch anyway.
@@nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526 the tone of the opening is too cheery for someone who may or may not have gotten hatecrimed before.
i understand that it's *possible* but i do not consider it at all likely.
also, in no world does accomplishment in war trump racism, because black soldiers in world war 2 faced segregation in the army camps and then had to come home to more of the same (they were literally *mobbed* by white civilians). sure, *fighting* in world war 2 *contributed* to the civil rights movement, but make no mistake, civil rights still had to be won after the war was over.
@@jiyangli9779 Hmmm. You... actually have a good point there, my bad.
Hey did someone say tremors? What a fantastic sci Fi horror!
It's cultural appropriation- Zach
😐 - Vikings
But Captain Jameson, if vaultboy Zach runs ahead, he can clean out the raiders before you get there.
Zack “AN M1 ABRAMS SO NOT MALE ANY SENSE HERE!!!!”
Also Zack “OOOO A MODERN DAY GUN I NEEED IT!!!!!!!!”
The Abrams was definitely jarring when I first ran into it, but Fallout, especially older titles do have a lot of 80's and 90's stuff in it. Not sure if it or the horrid (but very Atompunk) tanks in Fallout 4 are better or worse.
White people can have dreadlocks, it's a celtic thing too! The Irish are just fully aware ginger dreads look awful and we just choose not to do it
Zach the Fallout universe had a lot of gas powered vehicles
For the Abrams rant:
It would have made more sense if they put in a M60 because at least THAT was made in the 50s and was even better version of a Paton tank.
