Yeah, video game logic. In Survival, it's slightly more realistic in the using a Stim-Pak makes you thirsty and hungry because it literally puts your body into overdrive healing itself, using up all your stored up energy.
Lady on the right (Alisha) had a point too: Can't be wasting food down in the vault. Those pickles are gonna taste like "unwashed raider who got clobbered with a shovel" now
@@imadetheuniverse4fun It would be better to say that stimpacks can't regrow a limb, they can heal one though, but you wouldn't want them to given that the limb will heal in seconds to minutes thus healing in whatever deformed state it was in and needing to be rebroken to reset it so you can heal it properly. Such as the injury I think you were referring to when the bone would have "healed" in it's deformed state and had skin regrow over the now warped limb.
Warning: Fallout is brutal! But also ridiculously absurd and funny. The tone can turn on a dime, but the show balances it perfectly! This is one of the most perfect adaptations I’ve seen. I love the franchise, I’ve played all but one of the modern games (Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4). If you can handle the gore, I definitely recommend playing the games. If you only play one, Fallout 4 is probably the best to start with, because it’s a PS4 game and plays on the PS5. They’re all available on PC too if you’re a PC player. Get ready for a ride, this show is fantastic. Full of Easter eggs and references for fans of the games, and yet totally relatable and accessible to folks who never played or even know the games. Which is a feat in itself!
Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). During the Cold War, the USSR was planning to open the war by dropping 600+ merely on my little Denmark. The game is set in an alternative timeline, where the transistor was never invented, so everything used vacuum-tubes like early computers. And thus the timeline starts diverging from ours in the year after WW2, and progress is generally much slower. But there is also no Cuban Missile Crisis, Long Island, etc, and no reckoning with its past, so the US carries on in a sort of Truman-Eisenhower Superamerica with nuclear powered cars, etc. But in the 21st century fossil fuels and other resources starts running out, and The Resource Wars starts; where Europe, Africa and The Middle East is torn apart, and China invades Alaska to get the last remaining oil resource on the planet. And in 2077... Boom. And oh yea, the US turns authoritarian semi-Fascist, a bit like Starship Troopers. Anyway, think of the game and series as set in a sort of retro-futuriatic post apocalypse, IE a future as imagined in the fifties, but then add a nuclear exchange of superpowers. In the games you find all those tragic and dark stories as you explore the Wasteland, the series show them, but both do a very good job of what good SciFi should; holding up a dark mirror to humanity- and with Fallout it is really dark.
That big syringe she uses is a healing item from the games, it's called a stimpak, it basically is just chock-full of all the natural resources your body needs to repair itself and a drug that makes your body repair itself incredibly fast
"Dear Adonis," Im sorry wrong video 😂😂. Yall are in for a journey with this show. This show did its job. It got everyone replaying the video games. Also, 2 MONTHS??!!? Dont yall ever again. *holds belt* It was boring.
YAY! Great to see some of my favorite TLOU reactors watching Fallout! As a fan of the games, it's been so amazing to see a whole new set of fans being made through the tv show! Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!
Full on 'Justified' vibes there with Walton Goggins & Mykelti Williamson :) Good to have y'all back! Fallout, Shogun & Baby Reindeer have all gotta be a must for the channel :)
Thank God for Amber! Anyone who's seen a zombie movie knows to double tap. Anyone who's ever seen a Terminator movie knows he's probably not dead. Amber said she's got to stick him again, and she turned out to be right.
When that dude was shot with doll leg - it's a game reference. There's a weapon called Junk Jet - you shoot random junk at enemies. including dolls and teddy bears.
Series was great :D The first episode was filled with great nostalgic bits from each of the fallout games. A couple of things: - The syringe she stabs herself after getting stabbed, from the game, is the main method of healing your character in the games. In the game, it just 'magically' heals about 1/4 to 1/3 of your life regardless of how you were hurt. Nice 'real life' representation, I think. - The guy that gets shot with a doll (leg?) is pointing to a special weapon you can make in Fallout 3 and find in Fallout 4 that uses your junk items such as dishes, bottles, dolls, wrenches, books etc as its ammunition as opposed to bullets. as far as if you should play the games: - All of the FO games, while build on each other for lore, are standalone; you don't really need to have played the other games to get a good picture from the game you choose to play. - FO1 and FO2 are older games but still accessible on steam and GOG. both are a bit clunky compared to games now, but were good stories and the newer games refer to things from them occasionally. - FO Brotherhood of steel: "Not canon" but still fun. Same engine as FO1 and FO2. - FO3: First modern game and very good. Created by a different company/team than FO1/2/BOS. - FO New Vegas: Original team that did FO1/2/BOS but using a similar engine to FO3. Very good and unique story line for the series. - FO4: Same group as FO3 and also a great story. - FO76: MMO version of the game. didn't care for it, but I don't care for MMO's in general. Probably start with FO3, FO NV or FO4. Hope you like the rest of the series :D
You're the first reaction that thought what I thought, when that Lucy cut up Monty was dunked in the pickles. That is going to burn like hell while you are drowning, dude. Thanks for the fun reaction, I really enjoy yours! Fun!
Long time fallout player and fan….since 1997. Yes this show did the game and its fans justice. It is a very good rendition of what the game is. It is a little bit drama, mystery, horror, action with comedy spread thru out. Glad you liked it…..
I'm late in the game here. But I love how all three actors are incredible at portraying their emotions to fit the mood . They all should be up for best actor.
Fun fact, it isn't the radiation that will get you when a nuke goes off. The thermal energy and the blast wave are the real killers. The danger with radiation comes from the literal fallout which is the radioactive ash, bits of rock, and vaporized material that then falls out of the sky hence the name. The nukes that were detonated in Nagasaki and Hiroshima were detonated in mid-air so there was no residual contamination which is why the cities are thriving today with no risk of complications for being in the area as the radiation is around normal background radiation.
First of all, Welcome Back! Second : Enjoyable as Always! Third : You picked a Good Series, that being said. Hope you all will check out Twisted Metal with Anthony Mackie, The New DeadPool and Wolverine Trailer, One Piece, X-Men '97....Well you get it, Welcome Back Queens!!
I loved this show, and I'm looking forward to your reactions to it. And everyone's hair is looking great! I love the red on Amber. By the way, in the Fallout lore, the bombs fall in 2077. However, it's sort of an alternate Earth, where the future is how people in the 50's and early 60's imagined it may be.
Just remember as you're watching this that the Fallout universe is the 1950s vision of the future, so 1950s science fiction rules apply. Talking but clunky robots exist, everything was powered by nuclear energy, radiation makes things bigger and angrier, turns people into zombies and of course if a person is lucky enough to find an old world facility in good condition, they'll find energy weapons that go ZAP!
"I might have go and get that game, see what that game talking about." LOVE IT!! By far one of my favorite shows to date. Just remember we are dealing with video game logic and physics. Lucy injected herself with a stim pack, which heals everything lol..
What's great about the games is the world building and the writing within each character telling a story of the wild world of post apocalyptic nuclear fallout. It can easily translate into a show adaptation. Factions, Ideologies, futuristic tech in a world where nuclear technology became prevalent after ww2. Nuclear energy was implemented into most things and used to power everything. While the tech became more scarce, wars started happening between china, the communist superpower, and USA, the patriotic capitalist's. The threat of a nuclear war was imminent and bombs started dropping. The games give a you a character you can mold throughout the game. The whole world is also molded by the choices you make, which factions to help, a karma system whenever you do good or bad things, the meter will tilt. What's great about the games, is many things can happen through choices, making the game super replayable allowing different outcomes. Welcome to the wacky world of the wasteland. You are in for a ride.
The tech didn't become scarce, it WAS scarce. The U.S. only unlocked small scale fission technology just before the war started, and mainly employed it in weapons technologies. The mass produced power armor, direct energy weapons, and all their power cells are direct examples of this. All other countries were either in the middle of destroying each other, or actively fighting in a global conflict whilst still using fossil fuels. The U.S. couldn't really gatekeep the technology for long, because the Chinese threw the proverbial chest board across the room upon realizing they lost, but ye.
AS someone who has played the games, it's very good and it makes me want to go back and play the game again. Which is what any game-based media should do to someone who played the game. It puts you back in that world, and you want to go play the game so you can stay there. I hope you enjoy the entire show. Just as a show, I think it's also great. It has some brilliant writing and scene set ups, and I think they did a good job of creating a jumping on point for people like you' who have never played the games (which is also something it needed to do). Backstory is laid out as it comes up in the plot. And the basic concept that "there was a nuclear war, and we're now far in the future, living in the ruins" is easily conveyed. About the only thing that's probably a little harder to understand is the 1950s aesthetic., and they can't really "explain" it in the show, though they do present it well. Fallout is retro-futurism, what the future potentially looked like from the pulp magazines of the '30s, 40, and '50s. It's an alternate history show. Apparently the big difference is that that usinverse stuck with vacuum tubes and radio transistors if I recall correctly. Should you want to play, I'd recommend starting with Fallout 3 just because it's the first of the first-person games. It's set in Washington DC. It's fallowed by Fallout New Vegas (which is also easy to pick up from if you'd prefer it as a setting), and then Fallout 4 is set in Boston. The first two Fallout games were, I think, set in California, as were some of the other early spin offs. In terms of playing 3, Vega, or 4, it is a first person shooter (which isn't actually my favorite kind of game to play myself) but it has this VATS system which allows you to pause the game and pick your shots. So as first person shooters go, it' not generally as stressful. Then you just have to stay away from enemies that are too big for you when you're starting out. You can also acquire companions who will help you fight. Dogmeat (a German Shepard) is a recurring character in the games, though probably there's just different dogs that get named Dogmeat. Either way, he's a great early companion who can do melee fighting and handle ambushes for you.
Please finish this season. They've done an incredible job with this, and it's probably one of the best video game to movie/TV adaptations ever. The Fallout series has a really grim, violent but dark comedic nature and they nail it. The cool thing about the show is it's canonical and is the latest entry in the timeline so even video game players have no idea what's to come, and the show drops some huge lore bombs for us. Definitely recommend watching the whole series before trying a game, but the games are so fun! They also carry the same sort of violent and wacky tone. Fallout 4 is one of the the most recent and accessible games for people and takes place I think 10 years before this show (AD 2287) on the east coast. There's also Fallout 76 which is online and might be a little harder to get into as it's multiplayer, but that game takes place in West Virginia only a few decades after the bombs dropped (AD 2101), when the bombs dropped in AD 2077 in the game and show. There are a few other games like Fallout 3 that take place in Washington D.C., Fallout New Vegas which takes place in Nevada and Utah (obviously a big chunk is in Las Vegas), and Fallout 1 and 2 take place in California (where most of this show takes place), but those games are much older and harder to get into these days.
Hey ladies! 👋🏽 I have to give you props as my favorite reaction video! 🏆 I've watched lots of reactions to the show and I loved your commentary, wit, facial expressions, full body reactions, etc. 😄 Synergy! I've played hundreds of hours of Fallout (F3, FNew Vegas & F4) I'll be playing F76 soon. It exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love the show. 💯❤️ The franchise is retro futuristic. The overall vibe is nuclear apocalypse with brutal action and dark comedy undertones. Yes. Y'all should try the game. Fallout 4 is great for jumping into single player. If you want to play coop with friends, you'll want to play Fallout 76. Looking forward your next Fallout video. 🚀
Welcome back ladies. The show is done very well. There are a lot of nods to the quirky aspects of the game but they don't throw it in your face. They keep it subtle enough for the fans to notice and appreciate. They also pace the story and world building well enough so that new comers to the Fallout world are not feeling overwhelmed. As for the games...nah...Don't play them. They're fun but they're Role Playing Games (RPGs) which require a whole lot of commitment. lots and lots of hours invested in just one game....and there's about 6 of them...or more if you count spin offs. Most people won't enjoy the gameplay if they're not really into RPGs. Might be easier to just read up on the lore online to save time (after you're finished with the show of course).
As someone who's played the games since 2008 I'm so happy that Prime made a genuinely true to the game adaption so that non gamers can enjoy the unique dark humour and tragedy of the Fallout Universe.
I missed you 3 ladies, this is a strange show, they have Baby Billy of the Righteous Gemstones as one of the stars in this show, love your reviews, take care
WHAT A SURPRISE !!! I know it’s been a minute and I know the first season was tuff to watch but y’all NEED to watch THEM SEASON 2 !! It’s sooooooooo good !! PS: Y’all look soo good 😍

Yeah, video game logic. In Survival, it's slightly more realistic in the using a Stim-Pak makes you thirsty and hungry because it literally puts your body into overdrive healing itself, using up all your stored up energy.
“He gon’ drown ‘em in da pickles… Oh it’s gon’ buurrnn”

Those pickles are gonna taste like "unwashed raider who got clobbered with a shovel" now
@@andyb1653 Eh, the vinegar will do its job lol
The "shot" is called a Stimpak, it's from the game.
It heals everything, except for radiation. You need Rad-Away and Rad-X for radiation.
Rad-X to increase radiation resistance (preventative!) and Rad-Away to get rid of radiation! (treatment!) Haha 😅
i'd also add that stimpacks can't heal injured limbs, which does become relevant in the show :D
@@imadetheuniverse4fun It would be better to say that stimpacks can't regrow a limb, they can heal one though, but you wouldn't want them to given that the limb will heal in seconds to minutes thus healing in whatever deformed state it was in and needing to be rebroken to reset it so you can heal it properly. Such as the injury I think you were referring to when the bone would have "healed" in it's deformed state and had skin regrow over the now warped limb.
Lol your analysis of Chet’s odds with Lucy increasing with every death!
As video game adaptations go this is a 10/10
“Am I a fan?” Yes ma’am, you will be!
Really happy you’re doing Fallout!
I am a diehard Fallout fan, and this series is great. Every episode.
I hope you enjoy all of them too, ladies. Thanks for posting!

as a long time fallout fan i can wholeheartedly agree with this!👆👆👆 this is great advice.🙂
5:17 Burt's head tilt is one of my favourite little moments.
Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). During the Cold War, the USSR was planning to open the war by dropping 600+ merely on my little Denmark.
The game is set in an alternative timeline, where the transistor was never invented, so everything used vacuum-tubes like early computers. And thus the timeline starts diverging from ours in the year after WW2, and progress is generally much slower. But there is also no Cuban Missile Crisis, Long Island, etc, and no reckoning with its past, so the US carries on in a sort of Truman-Eisenhower Superamerica with nuclear powered cars, etc. But in the 21st century fossil fuels and other resources starts running out, and The Resource Wars starts; where Europe, Africa and The Middle East is torn apart, and China invades Alaska to get the last remaining oil resource on the planet. And in 2077... Boom.
And oh yea, the US turns authoritarian semi-Fascist, a bit like Starship Troopers.
Anyway, think of the game and series as set in a sort of retro-futuriatic post apocalypse, IE a future as imagined in the fifties, but then add a nuclear exchange of superpowers. In the games you find all those tragic and dark stories as you explore the Wasteland, the series show them, but both do a very good job of what good SciFi should; holding up a dark mirror to humanity- and with Fallout it is really dark.
"Shooting guns and eating cake, uncouth" I'm dying!
The transistor wasn't developed till it was too late. Most tech was nuclear and vacuum tubes but the bombs were dropped in 2077.
Remember this is based on a video game. In the game a "stimpak" which is the syringe that Lucy injects herself with, heals wounds. Video game logic.
Welcome back. Please don't leave anymore. I need your channel to keep my mind off the stresses of life 🧬.
The birthday boy's dad was taking photos with his annoying flash just as the first nuke flashed miles away...
That big syringe she uses is a healing item from the games, it's called a stimpak, it basically is just chock-full of all the natural resources your body needs to repair itself and a drug that makes your body repair itself incredibly fast
"Dear Adonis," Im sorry wrong video 😂😂. Yall are in for a journey with this show. This show did its job. It got everyone replaying the video games.
Also, 2 MONTHS??!!? Dont yall ever again. *holds belt* It was boring.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Dear Adonis is right
so i wasn't the only who noticed they were gone for a minute. 😄 hope they continue the bear and maybe do shogun too.
@vinsanity40k Nope. They left their children (us) for dead lol. I hope they continue both, but definitely Shogun for sure. Great show.
Welcome back ladies! Missed your reactions.
YAY! Great to see some of my favorite TLOU reactors watching Fallout! As a fan of the games, it's been so amazing to see a whole new set of fans being made through the tv show! Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!
Full on 'Justified' vibes there with Walton Goggins & Mykelti Williamson :) Good to have y'all back! Fallout, Shogun & Baby Reindeer have all gotta be a must for the channel :)
There some other Justified alumni in this as well
Fallout 4 is my favorite game and the one I always go back to….but I’m starting another play thru of fall out new Vegas.
This is a really good show to react to. This was a strong 1st episode, I was hooked 20 minutes into it.
OMG I haven't seen this trio in forever and just realized it!
Thank God for Amber! Anyone who's seen a zombie movie knows to double tap. Anyone who's ever seen a Terminator movie knows he's probably not dead. Amber said she's got to stick him again, and she turned out to be right.
Yes keep them coming!! Glad yall liked it!
The world in this show feels exactly like the world of the games.
Loving the RED HAIR Amber ❣️💯
Great to have yall back and glad all is well!!! Great reaction, I hope you guys are doing a reaction for X-Men 97!
When that dude was shot with doll leg - it's a game reference. There's a weapon called Junk Jet - you shoot random junk at enemies. including dolls and teddy bears.

Good to have you beautiful women back. Stay blessed
love the games and love this channel..3 beautiful aunties hot dang

- The guy that gets shot with a doll (leg?) is pointing to a special weapon you can make in Fallout 3 and find in Fallout 4 that uses your junk items such as dishes, bottles, dolls, wrenches, books etc as its ammunition as opposed to bullets.
as far as if you should play the games:
- All of the FO games, while build on each other for lore, are standalone; you don't really need to have played the other games to get a good picture from the game you choose to play.
- FO1 and FO2 are older games but still accessible on steam and GOG. both are a bit clunky compared to games now, but were good stories and the newer games refer to things from them occasionally.
- FO Brotherhood of steel: "Not canon" but still fun. Same engine as FO1 and FO2.
- FO3: First modern game and very good. Created by a different company/team than FO1/2/BOS.
- FO New Vegas: Original team that did FO1/2/BOS but using a similar engine to FO3. Very good and unique story line for the series.
- FO4: Same group as FO3 and also a great story.
- FO76: MMO version of the game. didn't care for it, but I don't care for MMO's in general.
Probably start with FO3, FO NV or FO4.
Hope you like the rest of the series :D
Episode 1 should have started with a title card...
"Los Angeles, CA - October 23 2077"
i played the fallout 4 game a lot .. i think they nailed it yep the music captured the theme of the show from the games
First time watching. You all are great. Now following.
Thanks! Welcome to the fam!
AAA first time finding yalls channel! Awesome reaction.
You're the first reaction that thought what I thought, when that Lucy cut up Monty was dunked in the pickles. That is going to burn like hell while you are drowning, dude. Thanks for the fun reaction, I really enjoy yours! Fun!
My favorite part. Wiping my 😂 on the curtain😂😂🤣🤣
I died laughing
Lovely reaction ya'll. I've seen about ten different reactions of each of the 8 episodes, and yours is one of my faves. :)
The fallout shelter only has room for Dad, Mom, and the kids, everybody else has to fend for themselves.
How come nobody told there was a team of gorgeous ladies reacting to this!
Get ready for a ride y'all
Long time fallout player and fan….since 1997. Yes this show did the game and its fans justice. It is a very good rendition of what the game is. It is a little bit drama, mystery, horror, action with comedy spread thru out. Glad you liked it…..
Fallout brought me to your page, and I'm here to stay, thanks for the great reaction, hope you keep doing more.
Amazing reaction! Subscribed.
I'm late in the game here. But I love how all three actors are incredible at portraying their emotions to fit the mood . They all should be up for best actor.

I'm here for the triple A reaction
Love y'alls chemistry 😊
I love this reaction so much
Glad to see you all back, hope life is treating you as well as it can. And everybody loves The Ghoul, lots of folks are attracted to The Ghoul
They're back! Time to subscribe, maybe they will come around more often.
This show is gold! I started playing Fallout 4 and I'm obsessed with the game now as well.
This is a fun, gruesome, and sharply socially critical wild trip. A post apocalyptic nuclear love child of Sergio Leone and Terry Gilliam.
never knew i needed this sort of reaction in my life, this is fantastic
First of all, Welcome Back! Second : Enjoyable as Always! Third : You picked a Good Series, that being said. Hope you all will check out Twisted Metal with Anthony Mackie, The New DeadPool and Wolverine Trailer, One Piece, X-Men '97....Well you get it, Welcome Back Queens!!
Welcome back ladies ❤
Great video! I love the way you guys talk. Funny as. Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🙌🏻

Heads up, The Ghoul will steal the show for you. One hell of an emotionally invested rollercoaster. Loved every moment of it❤
yeah Ya'll gonna like this one. it's really good and you don't have to know the Game to have a fun watching it.

"I might have go and get that game, see what that game talking about." LOVE IT!! By far one of my favorite shows to date.
Just remember we are dealing with video game logic and physics. Lucy injected herself with a stim pack, which heals everything lol..
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️MY LADIES ARE BACK!!!!
I've been playing Fallout since the 90's. I never dreamed it could be adapted this well.
That is high praise!!! We’re glad they did it justice

This show put me back into having an addiction to playing the games 🥲
Razorblades in boots.
New fear unlocked.

Should you want to play, I'd recommend starting with Fallout 3 just because it's the first of the first-person games. It's set in Washington DC. It's fallowed by Fallout New Vegas (which is also easy to pick up from if you'd prefer it as a setting), and then Fallout 4 is set in Boston. The first two Fallout games were, I think, set in California, as were some of the other early spin offs.
In terms of playing 3, Vega, or 4, it is a first person shooter (which isn't actually my favorite kind of game to play myself) but it has this VATS system which allows you to pause the game and pick your shots. So as first person shooters go, it' not generally as stressful. Then you just have to stay away from enemies that are too big for you when you're starting out.
You can also acquire companions who will help you fight. Dogmeat (a German Shepard) is a recurring character in the games, though probably there's just different dogs that get named Dogmeat. Either way, he's a great early companion who can do melee fighting and handle ambushes for you.
Please finish this season. They've done an incredible job with this, and it's probably one of the best video game to movie/TV adaptations ever. The Fallout series has a really grim, violent but dark comedic nature and they nail it. The cool thing about the show is it's canonical and is the latest entry in the timeline so even video game players have no idea what's to come, and the show drops some huge lore bombs for us. Definitely recommend watching the whole series before trying a game, but the games are so fun! They also carry the same sort of violent and wacky tone.
Fallout 4 is one of the the most recent and accessible games for people and takes place I think 10 years before this show (AD 2287) on the east coast. There's also Fallout 76 which is online and might be a little harder to get into as it's multiplayer, but that game takes place in West Virginia only a few decades after the bombs dropped (AD 2101), when the bombs dropped in AD 2077 in the game and show. There are a few other games like Fallout 3 that take place in Washington D.C., Fallout New Vegas which takes place in Nevada and Utah (obviously a big chunk is in Las Vegas), and Fallout 1 and 2 take place in California (where most of this show takes place), but those games are much older and harder to get into these days.
Great reaction. Subscribed.
I am new but best believe i will stay TUNED this is my fave show and yall are so funny and cute ❤️❤️😭
Ok, you had me at “uncouth”.
Hey ladies! 👋🏽
I have to give you props as my favorite reaction video! 🏆 I've watched lots of reactions to the show and I loved your commentary, wit, facial expressions, full body reactions, etc. 😄 Synergy!
I've played hundreds of hours of Fallout (F3, FNew Vegas & F4) I'll be playing F76 soon.
It exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love the show. 💯❤️
The franchise is retro futuristic. The overall vibe is nuclear apocalypse with brutal action and dark comedy undertones.
Yes. Y'all should try the game. Fallout 4 is great for jumping into single player.
If you want to play coop with friends, you'll want to play Fallout 76. Looking forward your next Fallout video. 🚀
Love that y'all are watching this! That hair color is stunning on Amber.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Welcome back ladies. The show is done very well. There are a lot of nods to the quirky aspects of the game but they don't throw it in your face. They keep it subtle enough for the fans to notice and appreciate. They also pace the story and world building well enough so that new comers to the Fallout world are not feeling overwhelmed. As for the games...nah...Don't play them. They're fun but they're Role Playing Games (RPGs) which require a whole lot of commitment. lots and lots of hours invested in just one game....and there's about 6 of them...or more if you count spin offs. Most people won't enjoy the gameplay if they're not really into RPGs. Might be easier to just read up on the lore online to save time (after you're finished with the show of course).
20:10 Headshot for the year, he should have walked around like Daft Punk!
Welcome to the Wasteland! I think the show and the game is supposed to take place in a new Reimagined futuristic 1950s.
It's a world where there were no semi conductors so they stayed in that vacuum tube aesthetic - bombs dropped in 2077 but it's still kinda 50/60s.
Let us say a quick prayer for the sadly destroyed and uneaten pickles...😂
‘Why are you doing this???” ::episode 8::…hold my beer
As someone who's played the games since 2008 I'm so happy that Prime made a genuinely true to the game adaption so that non gamers can enjoy the unique dark humour and tragedy of the Fallout Universe.
oh my i thought yall stopped reacting glad yall are back and with one of the best shows this year next to Shogun
That moment, when you realize that Boyd Crowder and Limehouse are at it again.
This is present day but it's a retro-futuristic world that didn't get certain technologies after WWII.
Lucy is also in "Yellowjackets" series and "Army of The Dead"
The Ghoul is THE best part of this show to me!
16:39 He’s been called Denzil GoodingMajors, got a lot of looks for sure😅
😂😂😂😂
First time on the channel, this was fun!
Eh! Yaw back!? I missed yaw! 🙌🏿🙌🏿
The big clue that Monty was a bad guy was his accent. He wouldn't have a different accent if he grew up in the vault with the others.
I missed you 3 ladies, this is a strange show, they have Baby Billy of the Righteous Gemstones as one of the stars in this show, love your reviews, take care
It's about time... Been waiting for yall to react to this & x men 97! Get to it my pretties! Lol
