Between the cryptids, parapsychological stuff, aliens, and Great Old One-esque weirdos, I tend to assume that Fallout operates on the basis of "our world, but if tons more weird shit were real".
@@killerzombie2171Yup! That was brilliant! It was us, the player, who started the event of fallout 1! It was so good. They cant make good writing like that anymore. Sadly.
On human robots: my theory was always that since radiation works different in the Fallout universe, it might somehow affect their circuits, similar to how ghouls are created. We know in real life that radiation can bit flip, causing rare programming errors.
The transistor doesn’t exist in fallout (save for fan canon that the platinum chip is the singular thing that uses them), so it’d be less of an issue. It’s all vacuum tubes and the like-which is why there was a huge resource war because of the incredibly demanding energy drain to support all the tech.
@@JaquzziJones true I forgot that actually. Now you really threw a wrench into my theory lol. Tubes are famous for being EMP resistant. Still can be some kind of radiation magic, as it works different than in real life, ie Ghouls etc
@@JaquzziJonesThat's a commonly believed myth but the transistor does exist in the Fallout universe!! Pre-War corporations were making much more money using the older, less efficient, and more wasteful products. It's also why you see sooo many advertisements in the post-post-apocalypse world of Fallout. CEO's and the American Governments in general, despite the depression and impending doom bearing down on them all, wanted you to keep on buying their stuff. Innovation be damned, profit is the goal in the end. And it did take them to the end.

I have come to realize the best part of fallout world building is not what they tell you but the parts they leave unexplained. It gives room for your imagination to fill in the blanks.
I think the world of Fallout so closely resembling real life is what makes all of the whacky lore so much more entertaining than other series that are built around it. Often times real life is home to a lot of whacky and crazy stories as well, but most of the time they end up being fake or simply conspiracies and none of us have the time or resources in real life to research these topics. That is what makes Fallout so fun is that in a video game we all have the means to be our own private investigators of the game's universe and find its secrets.
3:20 the timeline of fusion technology is a bit more wonky. The real question is whether Mass Fusion was the first company to make fusion technology, or whether it already existed but the company didn't know how to make it. Because *Fusion cores" already existed, and were in widespread use for the military across America. I don't think that the military, especially in Fallout, would be deceives by marketing. Plus, we know from the Recharger rifles in NV that nuclear breeder technology existed (search it up if you want specifics). So why wouldn't fusion tech exist before 2077?
The marketing was directed at civilians. The military might have known it was fission technology and just not cared. I feel like that's totally in line with the Fallout universe military.
Fusion cores were intended to be disposable power sources for PA and long term power generation in Nuclear generators in some buildings and institutions. Fusion is already utilized IRL for nuclear weapon detonations. So, its conceivable that Fusion Cores are actually fusion powered as it would provide safer handling for unshielded troops and civilians for disposal and would provide enough juice for PA operations and auxiliary generator use. The Beryllium Agitator was a fusion source to power a whole city and its metropolitan area so it would take a lot more R&D to produce than something smaller and disposable

The fact hes a protectron, the stereotype of stupid robots in the wasteland that often dont have the logic to tell if a metro user should die for not having a ticket, or that mindlessly repeat the same 5 prerecorded messages means that there might be something going on more then just programming. Its subtle too, the only real indication of it is that hes distrustful of the sole survivor and attempts to go aginst his own programming to follow the captains orders, something that should be impossible for such a basic robot. Hes still just as monitone as the other protectrons but under his police badge and blue paint i can swear theres something else going on.

Teleportation isn’t completely science fiction. The only thing holding us back is that we don’t know the location of the electrons in the electron field. To be fair, that is like saying the only thing that keeps pigs from flying is wings, but theoretically teleportation is actually possible
theoretically, literally anything is possible. that doesn't make it feasible. theoretically your entropy could align your atoms in the form of hitler and you become him. doesn't mean it's likely

I’m trying to remember if the Aliens had examples of teleportation. Theirs pads that moved you around... teleportation right there. This now begs the question.. did the institute come up with it.. Or did they somehow get access to it via the zetans
Just remember the us had teleportation before the great war. Through the big mountain research institute. So the institute could have had the blueprints from there
Fission is still pretty damn clean energy, about the best we can reliability produce now. The waste product of the process is recyclable depending on the element, most advanced nations just don't though.
Yeah, the "waste" products are either completely negligible or keep our society running by providing crucial isotopes for medical or industrial purposes. Constantly prefacing Nuclear Fusion with "clean energy" just screams "turn brain off, nuclear scary" and I'm sick of hearing shit like this. Especially when Fusion isn't "infinite energy" (???? idek how illiterate people have to be to make claims like this) since it obviously needs fuel
Don’t forget how time travel is the canonical reason why the Master’s plan was foiled, as the chosen one from Fallout 2 finds a time gateway to Vault 13 and presses some buttons, accidentally breaking the water chip in the process

But, I'm probably the only one who wants that. 😄 Be Excellent to each other and Party on. Good luck out there. 🤘🎸😎
Did you know, on the note of nuclear power (specifically fission), that we can actually recycle the waste and keep using it until the half life is far more manageable? The research lost funding when the US government started closing down all the nuclear reactors and defunding nuclear research because everyone became scared of it. But fusion is still going to take at least a couple years till fully clean energy. So we should reopen all the fission reactors and recycle all that waste until then
Aside from teleporting to and from the institute, isnt the fast travel on the pipboy just walking there without actually having to physically? Like when you fast travel from the west of the map to the far east, the time it would take to walk there still passes.
Keep fallout weird! Best part about it, it can balance deep philosophy about the future of humanity and letting go, and then the next quest you do is a mid tier casino owner going "hey ya wanna make a sex bot?"
Flight is really not that hard, a rudimentary understanding of physics and decent mechanical skills can easily build a small airplane or powered glider if you can find any kind of engine.
@@seanrosenau2088 To summarize in a simple way, Fungi don't photosynthesize, so they couldn't be plants. They are there own distinct group that contains mushrooms, molds, mildews, and yeasts.
Thats not what they were meant to do though. They were meant to run experiments for the Enclave to gather data from, and to produce scientific breakthroughs in focused isolated environments, AKA running their weird experiments and tests. The control vaults were a measurement for the experiments to be compared against, and experiments in and of themselves for when they opened and how they would operate with limited, differing resources. Vault Tec shouldn't be seen as some grand pre war company that went rogue, they are a secret branch of the Enclave, running experiments on unsuspecting individuals. The entire Enclave plan hinged on nuclear war happening, not just the Vault Tec side of things, to enable a take over of the world by the Enclave. Its why they orchestrated events to encourage a build up to nuclear war. The vault data was supposed to help with survival tactics and new technology for the newly scarred world, as well as to give the Enclave technology and methodology necessary for creation of generation ships, to colonize other worlds. Cryostasis, cloning, social experiments on isolated groups, effects of limited genetic exposure in closed population groups over hundreds of years, new self sustaining and radiation resistant foods, etc, etc, etc. When you have those bits of information, it makes Vault Tec, and their experiments, as well as the Enclave and their original and overarching goals, suddenly make a lot more sense.
I theorize that the mothmen are mutated owls. Pretty much everywhere you find them you can also find large piles of owl guano, among other small clues. Your bug god is a lie. Atom is the way. 😁
2:07 I mean it makes sense that fusion took so long to discover in fallout. Had it been discovered sooner the resource wars wouldn’t have happened. In typical fallout fashion, too little progress was done too late, and the great war inevitably broke out.
the adoption of fission in the fallout universe probably meant there was huge research into radiation shielding and so much money and time would’ve been saved with clean fusion if the great war didn’t happen
for codsworths and curies a.i. becoming self aware it makes complete sense. an a.i that was programmed to take orders spent 200 years completely alone. with no orders to take and being completely alone it would likely start to just do things (because what else do you do) slowly etching out some semblance of personality.
I love your videos but would love even more if there was in-game footage during what you're talking about. Mothman during mothman, plant zombies during plant zombies, etc.
I've had this theory since Fallout 4: Robert House was raised / mentored by Lorenzo Cabot, a centuries old explorer who has an ancient alien device stuck to his head and is the likely leader of the dunwich cults (later develops into the children of atom). House founds Robco and uses the tech to steal data from as many top secret military projects as possible. His foremost interest was preserving his mind and legacy, and as we can probably guess the Synth program was the winning candidate. Using multiple means to deliver copies of his scanned consciousness (Gunners, Kellogg, and Enclave) House is able to barter lie and steal his way into multiple copies. He steals data from the CIA database (the switchboard) and exposes the Railroads Safe House network to cover his escape. When Zimmerman follows him to the Capital Wasteland, House uses synths he reprogrammed to assassinate the Lyon's Pride, framing the institute and plunging the east coast into conflict. (Personally I like to think House killed Zimmerman all the way back in sanctuary and took his coursers with an override code, posing as him to have access to enclave, railroad, and institute assets as he heads back west. The power grid wasn't to keep the lights on in vegas, its to power up something much more important, say an ancient alien city the cabots head back west to explore! Thats right, House took over Lorenzos plans to destroy the world and use it as a means to make himself immortal while jumpstarting a zetan mothership beneath Black Mountain, the suspected new BoS Mojave chapter site after the destruction of Hidden Valley (Veronica Becomes West Coast Elder or supports Maxsons leadership but I think a rivalry is imminent between their ideologies).
I was having trouble getting to sleep when I found your video. After a few minutes of your monotone delivery of your script, I fell right asleep. I have no idea if your video is good, but i got a good nap in. Thanks.
Did anyone else notice what Old Ironsides says at the end? "One quarter fathom closer to the ocean". He uses the wrong term of measurement. Fathom is depth. Not distance. It pokes fun at those that thought 20,000 leagues was how deep the Nautilus traveled.
Fast travel isn’t teleportation, if you have a settler with a quest, move it to another settlement then monitor the movement on the map while fast traveling, there is a passage of time.
In cyberpunk 2077, the monks philosophize that what truly makes one human is not the possession of a soul (that's a requirement for being born into a better life, however) but rather, the experience of suffering. If you can suffer, you are human. By this definition, Muggy is the most human robot in the fallout universe.
Vertibirds have always bothered me, and kinda break cannon for me. Like, the Brotherhood and Enclave can get power armor, fancy helicopters, and even god damned Liberty Prime up and running. But, a motorcycle, car, or personel carrier is beyond them apparently.
We don't really know if Mothman in the game is supposed to be the same mothman as from prewar times. They have some pretty significant appearance differences.
If ya wanna get technical: robots and humans aren’t very different. If you have a learning AI it technically can be considered sentient because, even for humans, all responses, actions, etc, is just a process of information to which the brain (or computer) tells the body how to react. How to feel.
Would't it be weird that the brotherhood of steel have such distain for synths since robots are basicaly sentient and indistiguishable almost from human intelligence? i mean in a world where is so normalized that AI is basicaly another sentient life form it wouldn't it be weird to imagine that synths are just better fleshy robots, would it be like robo-racism?
One thing that comes to mind for me are the giant insects o fallout. The insects I can think of, radroaches, bloatflys, radscorpians, and giant ants couldn't exist in our millennium but could have earlier in history when the oxygen levels in earth's atmosphere were higher. I guess it's just one more thing to add to the list, unless this is one of those things that can be explained away with radiation
It's a combo of Radiation and some leaked FEV, which creates a deadly combo. I am pretty sure most of the creatures are FEV infected at the very least, let alone science experiments
FO 76 also has Teleportation. And it was known pre-war, that some AI's had Artificial consciousness... they was also bored and depressed. the Advancement came from Alien tech, the Government salvaged. there is a quest to recover a brain made with alien tech, you the AI can use a robobrain body.
Norte, when you have some hours of unhinged material, theories and facts, would you consider editing together a TKS Mantis-style blockbuster 8 hour supercut? I think you'd blow the doors off the hinges with that style vid.. from 30 second shorts to your longer form and anything in between, mix it in a pot like gumbo and voilà ! You've got new video content and it would be great! Don't have to script anything or record audio, just some clip editing at random !
technological developments surrounding the industrial revolution, aswell as gas and oil powered machines would be the only form of technology affected. as we see that it was starting to be enitrley replaced with fusion and fission. any technology that could not be modifed in some way with the advancements of fusion or fision would not have been affected. things like a teleporter, desighns for advanced military technology, or otherwise great forms of tech wouldnt be limited by the fact their using fusion. whether or not you have a oil based generator or a nuclear fusion reactor powering the teleporter doesnt matter as long as the teleporter is powered and desighned. furthermore, fallout takes places years in the future, where the only thing different in technological advancments is that they actually has larger sources of power, fusion reactors, and little codes of ethics. the molecular relay is said to use radio waves to transport people, seemingly, and somehow, turning their matter into soundwaves wich can be then broadcasted to a location, like a radio signal. music is already a huge focus in the fallout universe, and nothing about this processs would be inhibited by lack of computers or a combustion engine. things like super computers are easily explained by the fact that in the fallout universe, the internet wouldve been a ABSOLUTLEY revolunary piece of technology. where did the internet start? as a connection of super computers across the east coast america. given that the internet isnt really a thing in prewar fallout, its easy to say that this line of technology wich WOULD become the internet, became the various artificial intelligence programs across the united states.
Everyone who played fallout 4: Wow this Syfi game with apocalyptic based story is fun This video: This apocalyptic game has actually a ton of Syfi elements! ............... no shit LOL
This is gonna seem nit-picky, but i believe ada1 was a better example of sentience than codsworth. Sure, cods is the first to mind because he displays sadness and concern. But it's also a helper bot, to be concerned about the family you serve is probably in the programming. Meanwhile- Ada1 grieves, which could also be simple ownership programming, but she also plots revenge stemming from grief- that... that takes intent and will.
The thing about nuclear fusion is very interesting because i could swear i seen mention to nuclear fusion in other games and even in fallout 4 not related to the Mass Fusion company Edit: 2910? Thats the furthest know event in the fallout franchise?
About the vault 22, the Mushroom that turn i to zombies...this is an ACTUAL occurence in real life. Thise mushroom dont do that to human. But you can find insect and other small wild life being infected by them. It start by changing their behaviour...and then the muahroom grow. The host turn feral, then crazy, then they have convultion...and ultimatly dies. After the death of the host, the mushroom grow over the body of the host ready to infect another victim. Its terrifying and true. Look it up! :)
Does the lore about Vault 22's plant zombies mean Naughty Dog owes Obsidian Entertainment some kudos or royalties, since OE came up with idea of zonbies caused by a fungal infection years before ND came up with "The Last of Us"? 😂
I still don't think it's the real cryptid moth man. It's a mutated moth. Death claws are basically chameleon men using the same logic. Now the aliens are different though
@@jordyDarko613 eh. I'd think language wouldn't change that much in that amount of time given the fallout games we've seen the language is pretty much the same if not dumbed down. But keep your adventure time theory if you want. The aliens seem like a race of explorers. Not vault tec waiting for their time to reestablish
@uuncoolguy6 fair enough just a thought I had when I found about the early intention of the vault experiments. I do agree the time dilation would have to be significant to make that a reality. I see what you mean but they did try to take control of the nukes which is some u.s. government stuff if I ever heard it lol jk 😜

It's kinda crazy that autodocs can take you c o m p l e t e l y apart and keep you alive through it all.
I think Curie is a better example of Sentient, Self-Aware Robots... Even before becoming a Synth...
@10:10 Jukebox Hero...I see whatcha did there!
Keep fallout weird! Best part about it, it can balance deep philosophy about the future of humanity and letting go, and then the next quest you do is a mid tier casino owner going "hey ya wanna make a sex bot?"
Flight is really not that hard, a rudimentary understanding of physics and decent mechanical skills can easily build a small airplane or powered glider if you can find any kind of engine.
Hell Yeah! Ultralights!

Fungus aren't plants.
I've heard people say that before. What does that mean? Not trying to start anything, honestly curious.
@@seanrosenau2088 To summarize in a simple way, Fungi don't photosynthesize, so they couldn't be plants. They are there own distinct group that contains mushrooms, molds, mildews, and yeasts.
@@seanrosenau2088taxonomically fungi are their own kingdom.
Teleportation is one thing. Teleportation of a human and retaining consciousness is something even more fantastic.
Imagine how much more quickly America would have recovered if Vault-tec just did what they were meant to and built every vault as a control vault.
Thats not what they were meant to do though.
They were meant to run experiments for the Enclave to gather data from, and to produce scientific breakthroughs in focused isolated environments, AKA running their weird experiments and tests.
The control vaults were a measurement for the experiments to be compared against, and experiments in and of themselves for when they opened and how they would operate with limited, differing resources.
Vault Tec shouldn't be seen as some grand pre war company that went rogue, they are a secret branch of the Enclave, running experiments on unsuspecting individuals.
The entire Enclave plan hinged on nuclear war happening, not just the Vault Tec side of things, to enable a take over of the world by the Enclave.
Its why they orchestrated events to encourage a build up to nuclear war.
The vault data was supposed to help with survival tactics and new technology for the newly scarred world, as well as to give the Enclave technology and methodology necessary for creation of generation ships, to colonize other worlds.
Cryostasis, cloning, social experiments on isolated groups, effects of limited genetic exposure in closed population groups over hundreds of years, new self sustaining and radiation resistant foods, etc, etc, etc.
When you have those bits of information, it makes Vault Tec, and their experiments, as well as the Enclave and their original and overarching goals, suddenly make a lot more sense.
I theorize that the mothmen are mutated owls. Pretty much everywhere you find them you can also find large piles of owl guano, among other small clues. Your bug god is a lie. Atom is the way. 😁
2:07 I mean it makes sense that fusion took so long to discover in fallout. Had it been discovered sooner the resource wars wouldn’t have happened. In typical fallout fashion, too little progress was done too late, and the great war inevitably broke out.
As a lifelong native Bostonian, seeing the Constitution fly through the air and get stuck on top of a building was trippy af.
the adoption of fission in the fallout universe probably meant there was huge research into radiation shielding and so much money and time would’ve been saved with clean fusion if the great war didn’t happen
for codsworths and curies a.i. becoming self aware it makes complete sense. an a.i that was programmed to take orders spent 200 years completely alone. with no orders to take and being completely alone it would likely start to just do things (because what else do you do) slowly etching out some semblance of personality.
I love your videos but would love even more if there was in-game footage during what you're talking about. Mothman during mothman, plant zombies during plant zombies, etc.
The nightkin are also able to know what happens is the mojave, just by hearing head voices in their heads
I've had this theory since Fallout 4: Robert House was raised / mentored by Lorenzo Cabot, a centuries old explorer who has an ancient alien device stuck to his head and is the likely leader of the dunwich cults (later develops into the children of atom). House founds Robco and uses the tech to steal data from as many top secret military projects as possible. His foremost interest was preserving his mind and legacy, and as we can probably guess the Synth program was the winning candidate. Using multiple means to deliver copies of his scanned consciousness (Gunners, Kellogg, and Enclave) House is able to barter lie and steal his way into multiple copies. He steals data from the CIA database (the switchboard) and exposes the Railroads Safe House network to cover his escape. When Zimmerman follows him to the Capital Wasteland, House uses synths he reprogrammed to assassinate the Lyon's Pride, framing the institute and plunging the east coast into conflict. (Personally I like to think House killed Zimmerman all the way back in sanctuary and took his coursers with an override code, posing as him to have access to enclave, railroad, and institute assets as he heads back west. The power grid wasn't to keep the lights on in vegas, its to power up something much more important, say an ancient alien city the cabots head back west to explore! Thats right, House took over Lorenzos plans to destroy the world and use it as a means to make himself immortal while jumpstarting a zetan mothership beneath Black Mountain, the suspected new BoS Mojave chapter site after the destruction of Hidden Valley (Veronica Becomes West Coast Elder or supports Maxsons leadership but I think a rivalry is imminent between their ideologies).
I was having trouble getting to sleep when I found your video. After a few minutes of your monotone delivery of your script, I fell right asleep. I have no idea if your video is good, but i got a good nap in. Thanks.
Did anyone else notice what Old Ironsides says at the end? "One quarter fathom closer to the ocean". He uses the wrong term of measurement. Fathom is depth. Not distance. It pokes fun at those that thought 20,000 leagues was how deep the Nautilus traveled.
Clearly the sonic invasion is about Sonic the Hedgehog. For Old World Blues, its crazy enough to be true.
Fast travel isn’t teleportation, if you have a settler with a quest, move it to another settlement then monitor the movement on the map while fast traveling, there is a passage of time.
In cyberpunk 2077, the monks philosophize that what truly makes one human is not the possession of a soul (that's a requirement for being born into a better life, however) but rather, the experience of suffering. If you can suffer, you are human.
By this definition, Muggy is the most human robot in the fallout universe.
The band Tool exists in fallour as well
Vertibirds have always bothered me, and kinda break cannon for me.
Like, the Brotherhood and Enclave can get power armor, fancy helicopters, and even god damned Liberty Prime up and running. But, a motorcycle, car, or personel carrier is beyond them apparently.
5:28 I mean…the robots mutants and rayguns sorta underscore that, chief…
It would be just great if the visuals actually matched what you were talking about instead of just being completely unrelated FO4 gameplay lol
If robots are sentient then I have a lot to answer for by giving Codsworth assaultron legs
We don't really know if Mothman in the game is supposed to be the same mothman as from prewar times. They have some pretty significant appearance differences.
4:50 To be fair, we don't 100% know that mothman cultists are actually receiving visions and what not. They could just be crazy or on drugs or both.
If ya wanna get technical: robots and humans aren’t very different. If you have a learning AI it technically can be considered sentient because, even for humans, all responses, actions, etc, is just a process of information to which the brain (or computer) tells the body how to react. How to feel.
Good to know that fallout has their own version of the Flood from Halo
I love that the Mothman made its way into the game because of its real-world cultural significance in West Virginia’s history
6:32 the thing is that the relay likely is limited to the commonwealth so it’s use is still limited
Would't it be weird that the brotherhood of steel have such distain for synths since robots are basicaly sentient and indistiguishable almost from human intelligence? i mean in a world where is so normalized that AI is basicaly another sentient life form it wouldn't it be weird to imagine that synths are just better fleshy robots, would it be like robo-racism?
Don’t waste any time trying to make FO4 make any coherent sense. The writing in that one is terrible if you look at it from less than a mile away.
take a shot each time he says "Post apocalyptic" or "sci fi"
One thing that comes to mind for me are the giant insects o fallout. The insects I can think of, radroaches, bloatflys, radscorpians, and giant ants couldn't exist in our millennium but could have earlier in history when the oxygen levels in earth's atmosphere were higher. I guess it's just one more thing to add to the list, unless this is one of those things that can be explained away with radiation
Radiation is to Fallout what magic is to the fantasy genre. So yeah, I think it’s safe to just handwave a lot of the logic of it.
It's a combo of Radiation and some leaked FEV, which creates a deadly combo.
I am pretty sure most of the creatures are FEV infected at the very least, let alone science experiments
"Plant zombies" its literally the flood from Halo. Same exact way you're describing it
The mothman is an alien in a machined suit. Clipping through the armor shows an alien head
Interesting facts hope to see the next one.
FO 76 also has Teleportation.
And it was known pre-war, that some AI's had Artificial consciousness... they was also bored and depressed. the Advancement came from Alien tech, the Government salvaged. there is a quest to recover a brain made with alien tech, you the AI can use a robobrain body.
You forgot mama Murphy can see past and present as well as future
other factions who have flying is NCR, Gunners, Talon Company and later minutemen
Norte, when you have some hours of unhinged material, theories and facts, would you consider editing together a TKS Mantis-style blockbuster 8 hour supercut? I think you'd blow the doors off the hinges with that style vid.. from 30 second shorts to your longer form and anything in between, mix it in a pot like gumbo and voilà ! You've got new video content and it would be great! Don't have to script anything or record audio, just some clip editing at random !
i luv the Canadian version. Falloot, eh?
Funny how simmilar the sporecarriers from FNV and the zombirs from The Last Of Us are
4:04 WARHAMMER 40K REFRCE?!!
I'm surprised you didnt mentioned curie, the robot you turn into a person(synth)
In F3 there are other pyskers as well bloomseer poplar, Ant Agonizer and roach king
technological developments surrounding the industrial revolution, aswell as gas and oil powered machines would be the only form of technology affected. as we see that it was starting to be enitrley replaced with fusion and fission. any technology that could not be modifed in some way with the advancements of fusion or fision would not have been affected. things like a teleporter, desighns for advanced military technology, or otherwise great forms of tech wouldnt be limited by the fact their using fusion. whether or not you have a oil based generator or a nuclear fusion reactor powering the teleporter doesnt matter as long as the teleporter is powered and desighned. furthermore, fallout takes places years in the future, where the only thing different in technological advancments is that they actually has larger sources of power, fusion reactors, and little codes of ethics. the molecular relay is said to use radio waves to transport people, seemingly, and somehow, turning their matter into soundwaves wich can be then broadcasted to a location, like a radio signal. music is already a huge focus in the fallout universe, and nothing about this processs would be inhibited by lack of computers or a combustion engine.
things like super computers are easily explained by the fact that in the fallout universe, the internet wouldve been a ABSOLUTLEY revolunary piece of technology. where did the internet start? as a connection of super computers across the east coast america. given that the internet isnt really a thing in prewar fallout, its easy to say that this line of technology wich WOULD become the internet, became the various artificial intelligence programs across the united states.
There is actually a b-29 at the bottom of lake mead
If you play this back at 1.25x speed he aaaaalmost speaks at a normal pace
Ahah wtf
The half-life of nuclear waste in the real World i think doesnt even exced 10 years
Of course robots are conscious, I didn't know anyone denied that.
Teleportation was also in Old World Blues.
Santos Drummond invented the airplane.
Everyone who played fallout 4: Wow this Syfi game with apocalyptic based story is fun
This video: This apocalyptic game has actually a ton of Syfi elements!
............... no shit LOL
Don’t worry, captain. We’ll buff out those scratches.
10:18 *Foreigner intensifies*
Need that kray snippet
This is gonna seem nit-picky, but i believe ada1 was a better example of sentience than codsworth. Sure, cods is the first to mind because he displays sadness and concern. But it's also a helper bot, to be concerned about the family you serve is probably in the programming.
Meanwhile- Ada1 grieves, which could also be simple ownership programming, but she also plots revenge stemming from grief- that... that takes intent and will.
Mothman variants were created through experiments..so...yeah
The thing about nuclear fusion is very interesting because i could swear i seen mention to nuclear fusion in other games and even in fallout 4 not related to the Mass Fusion company
Edit: 2910? Thats the furthest know event in the fallout franchise?
About the vault 22, the Mushroom that turn i to zombies...this is an ACTUAL occurence in real life. Thise mushroom dont do that to human. But you can find insect and other small wild life being infected by them.
It start by changing their behaviour...and then the muahroom grow. The host turn feral, then crazy, then they have convultion...and ultimatly dies. After the death of the host, the mushroom grow over the body of the host ready to infect another victim.
Its terrifying and true.
Look it up! :)
Fission is actually clean thou
Does the lore about Vault 22's plant zombies mean Naughty Dog owes Obsidian Entertainment some kudos or royalties, since OE came up with idea of zonbies caused by a fungal infection years before ND came up with "The Last of Us"? 😂
its based on an actual fungus im not sure if thats a trademarkable thing lol
Given the trend in Computer Science, specifically Artificial intelligence, I find "self-aware" robots not that far-fetched.
I still don't think it's the real cryptid moth man. It's a mutated moth.
Death claws are basically chameleon men using the same logic.
Now the aliens are different though
I've wondered in the zetans are just a time dilated members of the old US gov who went to space instead of ground
@@jordyDarko613 eh. I'd think language wouldn't change that much in that amount of time given the fallout games we've seen the language is pretty much the same if not dumbed down. But keep your adventure time theory if you want.
The aliens seem like a race of explorers. Not vault tec waiting for their time to reestablish
@uuncoolguy6 fair enough just a thought I had when I found about the early intention of the vault experiments. I do agree the time dilation would have to be significant to make that a reality. I see what you mean but they did try to take control of the nukes which is some u.s. government stuff if I ever heard it lol jk 😜
i cant believe its not butter
The Doctor was I. Fallout Doctor who that is.
I know the whole quest is crazy but it never made sense to me how the USS constitution was able to shatter a steel building without the ship itself falling apart by this point it’s ancient
