Trimorphic protennoia and Acrylonitrile, a book from the new testament apocrypha, and a compound that can cause cancer. And now a passage from Moby Dick. The connection to Bosch still alludes me, outside of him being a painter who focused heavily on christian imagery. Hmm.
Clues to a lost dogfight, a painter known for painting a strange picture of hell, and…something that causes cancer? If death is the idea, then whose are we meant to focus on? Something also tells me that, this vague string of quests, the strong desire to return to the mojave, Bosch’s constantly taking caps, chips, and alcohol of all things, and Moby Dick _(a story about a man’s unrelenting, unreachable, and destructive obsession)_ may somehow relate…
Bosch was a painter who depicted Hell; the player, Bosch, is also depicting Hell through a different form of art. In a way, it's like Dante in The Divine Comedy. The arcylonitrile and trimorphic protennoia symbolizes *gnosis*, hidden knowledge gained from higher understanding. Gnosticism preaches that the body is material, and thus evil, and that unlike Christianity, the eradication of sin is not the high priority, but the eradication of ignorance itself (the terminal logs all relate to chasing *gnosis*, btw, even Moby Dick (chasing the unattainable)). That's why Bosch sits in the middle of the table, drinks the blood of acrylonitrile, and reads the book of trimorphic protennoia - it's the Gnostic version of the Last Supper. The player is breaking through the veil of our world (vanilla New Vegas) and showing us the true world that lies beyond (the original Van Buren, but told through New Vegas itself)
Only true Aryan schizos will understand the deeply profound meaning of this work of art. Trimorphic Protennoia is a Gnostic text from the Nag Hammadi, which was discovered in like 1945. The bottomless pit is from revelation, and the fact that he end up in rooms full of light reading Gnostic holy books shows that drbosch is familiar with the alchemical work of the soul. Most likely an initiate into some religious order. That is about all I can simply explain to someone who knows nothing of these things. It would take books worth to explain it fully.
As the Congressional Debate over gun control flares up yet again, we regret to report the murder of the wife and her two children by their husband and father. The father purchased the rifle used in the crime at his local gunstore two days earlier. This brutal killing took place while the family was gathered at home on a Sunday afternoon. The day of the crime, the father went to the trunk of his car, retrieved the rifle, and shot his wife as she was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch. When his ten-year-old son came to investigate the commotion, the father shot him, too. His six-year-old daughter had the good sense to hide in the bathroom, but reports suggest he lured her out by telling her it was just a game. The girl was found shot once in the chest from point-blank range. The mother, who he shot in the stomach, was pregnant at the time. Police arriving on-scene after neighbors called 911 found the father in his car, listening to the radio. Several days before the murders, neighbors say they heard the father repeating a sequence of numbers in a loud voice. They said it was like he was chanting some strange spell. There was another family shot to death in the same state last month, and in December last year, a man used a rifle and meat cleaver to murder his entire family. In each case, the perpretrators were fathers. State police say the string of domestic homicides appears unrelated, though it could be part of a larger trend, such as employment, childcare, and other social issues facing the average family.
I'm in love with the moment at dinner table. This player that's so far taken any chance they get to drag items and sit down in seats is presented with a chair in front of a plate of food. Without hesitation they take a seat, pick up the consumables, and gently drag the utensils onto the plate. I just love that this story takes the chance to present characterization through the otherwise banal actions of a fallout playthrough.
So the Courier's name is finally revealed. H. Bosch. And that dead ghoul last episode was Hieronymous B. And with the channel name being Dr. B0sch, the references to the renaisance artist of the same name obviously aren't accidental. The ghoul was also coincidentally wearing the same outfit as the Courier, sans the helmet I don't think we've ever seen him without. I'm not sure what to make of the Bosch connection yet, or the ghoul. But I'll be watching avidly.
I think the ghoul version could be an alternative or even another character Bosch played. Then again it also lacked the surgical mask that Bosch uses. Maybe it's from the future? About the ghoul form it could be because the radiation from water, that hallway on this video or just an effect of the radiation.
@@mkarg5012actually he puts on the surgical mask in an earlier video, my theory currently is that that is more akin to a *past* version of himself. Also that he's in hell, which would be why he's seeing his own corpse from before all of this. Which sounds cliché as a theory even more than as a trope but let's be real, all the refs to hieronymus Bosch, who painted surreal imaginings of hell, including one featuring disembodied ears, a mutilated torso, and what looks almost like a bizarre musical instrument fashioned out of what I'm almost certain is a mutilated organ- 3 notable objects found so far. As for the ghoulification that's just a further part of my theory, he crashed the plane at some point during/after the war and had been ghoulified by it (that part of the theory is a stretch imo, it's just as likely as far as I can see as it is likely the plane crash is relating to someone else entirely, I'm just torn between that thread being a 'finding the fate of someone else who was down here too' thing or a 'forgotten memories from when he was alive' thing) The funnest part is that no part of my theory involves the player himself at all, just the character. This kid just slipped out of bounds and now has to experience his playable character's tragedy or whatever 😂
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 it could be interpret as him playing the pilot as the bombs fell and he was stuck in the early nuclear wasteland. Since it's the firsts years after the bombs there's no one in sight, all that remains is the dust that covers most of the buildings and towers, it's also proven by the pre war lore he finds through the journey, with connects with some points of new Vegas while also the main franchise. But the themes of hell and old world related to Bosch could also be a side interpretation. He is in hell, stuck in the wastes as he found himself trapped in a "quest" he shouldn't have found. This reminds me of that creppypasta relating to elder scrolls
@mkarg5012 maybe a side interpretation, yes, but I will say if nothing else I doubt the Bosch connection with the specific body part items found is a coincidence, though it could be. Also what elder scrolls creepypasta pls expand on that, I LOVE horror stories about games (if that's not obvious by where this conversation is even happening lol)
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 it was something like JVK1166z, a mod for Morrowind that goes like a creppypasta of a deleted mod, the whole vibe of new Vegas being in the same engine and also having a modding community makes this a lot more interesting. Perhaps an inspiration? But yet I do love the connections and give the subtle details this whole series has your theory is probably tru, the references seem to be thoughtful and it's often explained.
When he sits down at the bar at 11:40 I can't help but think of the scene from The Shining where Jack sits down at the bar in the big empty ballroom and starts talking to a bartender that's seemingly a figment of his imagination.
interesting sidenote for 4:55 symbols are meant as cut "hobo language" from the main game (you can look it up) and whats written on the wall is tranlsated to "Watch your tongue" for the left and "Good people here" for the right.
@@IthyAshe Even without understanding the signs on the wall i got that vibe from this place. A full meal served on a plate with silverware including a renamed blood pack, a steak that restores health completely, and a book that gives 3 speech? Feels like this is a place of divinity, especially with how bright and peaceful it is and the white glows through many of the doorways. And for some reason, the weird thing that gave a ton of radiation made me think of an angel which would be hard for the human mind to comprehend.
5:30 i have learned enough about dark featureless hallways to know that they are good and holy and only contain good things like divinity and knowledge
I love how you don’t get to see really how the character got attacked, but you can clearly see something or someone hurt him bad cause half his health is missing and he’s been crippled. Really nice way of showing that there’s a clear threat without showing us the clear threat
I dont know if anyone has noticed this yet: at around 1:52 we get to see how many caps he has, 1968. 1968 was also the last year Lyndon B Johnson was president, and the quest he's been following this whole time (as pointed out by someone else) follows the initials of his name.
the alternate key title screen music that comes on when you enter the spawn testing room is so ethereal and calming i find myself watching this episode a lot
I think something about those houses at 11:29 made the protagonist more anxious than usual. I don't think they've ever really closed any doors behind themselves until this point. I also found it a bit unusual for the protagonist to sit in almost every chair/seat they come across, no matter how unusual the situation may be.
It's possible some of them have scripts attached to create in-game effects (the chair and sink may have changed the window lighting, for instance), but they also make good places to cut. You could probably figure out which one it is based on the quest marker blinking, but that's more trouble than it's worth.
Makes sense. If you go through the first few rooms again(Going into the kitchen and first upstairs room) you will see that the windows in the first room lost all of their light when he looks back. He clearly noticed this, because he specifically goes back to check the stairway room after walking towards the next door and realizing the window is out on that one. EDIT: small issue with a second paragraph I wrote, correcting my observations here. He walks into another room and see that the windows are lit again, and seem to suggest that morning is passing, implying that time is passing quicker than it should be.
No, he didn't died, he received knockback damage. That actually makes you ragdoll in the game and could explain the broken limb and loss of health. It's interesting how he loses almost all his items too, except the ones he got in out of bounds zones.
@@bsmith9890 they are but the way the HUD dissapears when he was struck makes me think he dies, because that is how it happens in the vainilla games. But being knockback could explain why he wakes up with lower health instead of dying and reappearing with said lower health.
Some have probably noticed, but I'll point out that the poster at 1:00 is a cutout of the Ultra Luxe billboard. If this is meant to be hell, as others suggest, this could be a symbol for the sin of gluttony, given that in New Vegas they used to practice cannibalism, and more broadly they are known for their refined taste in cuisine. This could explain the single steak on a plate. I can't find an obvious interpretation for why their faces are cut out.
That's a fair assessment. I hadn't commented on this, but there is something unsettling about the billboard's faces being blacked out. It's one thing for this poster to be here, but the faces being replaced with black boxes tells me we are not meant to know who these people are/were, even though it's just an ad. My only takeaway is this detail reinforces the fact that people are not meant to be "here," wherever here is.
i disagree i think it points to it being some sort of figure as god. the book the character consumed is a gnostic scripture which describes god as invisible but still showing its precense somehow (blacked out faces) and being in the form of th emother the father and the son, 1 feminine and 2 masculine just like in the poster. maybe you could take it as some corrupted simulation of god
at 4:56 the hobo code translates to (left symbol) 'watch your tongue' and (right symbol) 'good people here' Maybe whatever 'force' is in that particular area is benevolent as long as you're careful about your behavior?
i feel like this is related to the white glove society. the redacted image is from a billboard for the ultra-luxe and the big cleaver accompanied with "good people here" seems related. i dont have foresight cuz im binging the current episodes but thats my theory. also the abundance of ultra luxe chips doesent help.
@@Personb-yt7hu the player has no ultra lux chips. They've all been converted to Gomorrah chips, just like gold turns to smithereens in stories about retribution for greedy. Also, read about the book he picked up at the table and you'll understand that the picture is a reference to Father, Mother and the Child the book tells about.
9:27 decoded from ROT-13 "He-Who-Is is ineffable. No principle knew him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature from the foundation of the world, except he alone. For he is immortal and eternal, having no birth; for everyone who has birth will perish. He is unbegotten, having no beginning; for everyone who has a beginning has an end. No one rules over him. He has no name; for whoever has a name is the creation of another. He is unnameable. He has no human form; for whoever has human form is the creation of another. He has his own semblance - not like the semblance we have received and seen, but a strange semblance that surpasses all things and is better than the totalities. It looks to every side and sees itself from itself. He is infinite; he is incomprehensible. He is ever imperishable (and) has no likeness (to anything). He is unchanging good. He is faultless. He is everlasting. He is blessed. He is unknowable, while he (nonetheless) knows himself. He is immeasurable. He is untraceable. He is perfect, having no defect. He is imperishably blessed. He is called 'Father of the Universe'."
9:37 This is a passage from a poem by Jorge Luis Borges, Three Versions of Judas For context, this is part of the passage before the one shown in the video "God made Himself totally a man but a man to the point of infamy, a man to the point of reprobation and the abyss. To save us, He could have chosen any of the destinies which make up the complex web of history; He could have been Alexander or Pythagoras or Rurik or Jesus; He chose the vilest destiny of all: He was Judas." Here is the full passage from the video "In vain the bookshops of Stockholm and Lund proposed this revelation to the public. The incredulous considered it, a priori, an insipid and laborious theological game, the theologians scorned it. Runeberg sensed in this ecumenical indifference an almost miraculous confirmation. God had ordained this indifference; God did not want His terrible secret divulged on earth. Runeberg understood that the hour had not yet arrived. He felt that ancient and divine maledictions were converging upon him; he remembered Elijah and Moses, who on the mountain top covered their faces in order not to see God; Isaiah, who was terrified when he saw the One whose glory fills the earth; Saul, whose eyes were struck blind on the road to Damascus; the rabbi Simeon ben Azai, who saw Paradise and died; the famous sorcerer John of Viterbo, who became mad when he saw the Trinity; the Midrashim, who abhor the impious who utter the Shem Hamephorash, the Secret Name of God. Was he not perhaps guilty of that dark crime? Would this not be the blasphemy against the Spirit, the one never to be forgiven (Matthew 12:31)? Valerius Soranus died for having divulged the hidden name of Rome; what infinite punishment would be his for having discovered and divulged the horrible name of God?"
8:49 I tried my best to decipher this but none of the methods I attempted worked. Its almost certainly a message or passage of some sort but its lost on me.
Thank you very much, is kind of interesting how there's mention of religion in such a way, also the name Elijah. I don't think, I think new Vegas is the game with the most religion mentioned out of all
Genuinely fascinating. What I get from this is the player clipped out of bounds and entered, at best, God's domain. At worst, this is some sort of Purgatory/Backrooms equivalent or a place He cannot touch. Either way, definitely a place no mortal should enter.
@@TheCh33ks More than mortal i think the themes or religion comes into place at the idea of the "van buren" beta side of things, since we see a lot of references about the lore of new vegas and even some nods to beta content.
ok but what's up with the date/time is my question 1:31, in pipboy: 04.-118.79, 8:52 11:11, in sleep menu: Monday, 06.79.79, 9:05 PM 11:56, in pipboy: 07.50.79, 3:27
@@mkarg5012I think so actually! I had to look up the pipboy map screen to refresh my memory but based on the date format in-game it looks very likely. Could also be 2279, as the game apparently takes place in 2282, but either way the negative number for the day portion means it's clearly before the setting of the game itself apparently. That or it could mean the date and time are meant to be coordinates if they're getting into slightly complex arg elements idk
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 yeah I thought they where coordinates at first glance but it was hard to find any location. I like the idea of being closely after the nukes dropped by again, given how the wastes are empty and dried of any life. But the way the time on the Pipboy constantly change could mean that the in game time it's quickly advancing back and forth or maybe just fast enough to tell more about the story of Bosch and the pilot, but the moment he entered the caves time itself got convoluted. And given the dunwich references, it easy to interpret this as the pilot finding himself in his own hell, Bosch inadvertently crossed paths with one of the many cursed caves in the fallout franchise that were praised pre war. I got this idea since we see the face in the cave in a later video and the sudden change of scenery, a more focalized hell that could be explained in lore as that one mine in Fallout 4 where you get a legendary machete, the character starts having strong hallucinations and also relives moments in his live, just like this but in a more subtle manner that the spectator and even Bosch don't realize.
i'm really racking my brain trying to figure out what on earth acrylonitrile has to do with the events of this story. it definitely has meaning since it's not an item in FNV, much less a consumable. I'm thinking it has something to do with the references to Mad God (great taste btw) that sagan hawkes pointed out.
the gibberish text on the library terminal must be the infinite monkey theory also there was cut content for adding some public domain books to the game via terminals iirc
I am actively awaiting each upload. Be careful at this point of a story - here (about. you have wiggle room with ep length n soforth) is where you can either start dragging out too long, or put up story - but that can also box you in further than intended. Maybe pull some out of the box stuff - recruit help for a talking npc? I wouldn't want to dictate it as a viewer. But in any case, really looking forward to more. This is something that really has potential.
@@scottthejatt yes i know which one you were talking about but the abandoned house in tranquility lane still has pristine wallpaper and carpeting it's just got ambient junk piles on the floor and an assortment of junk in it.
Definitely a skeleton, but it looks like maybe it has multiple legs. Like a fucked up spider person or something. Or just debris in front of it, hard to say.
So if we're assuming this is some sort of hell allegory or at least viewing it through that lens, I'm wondering if some of these things are meant to be viewed as representative of sins? The alcohol everywhere implies some sort of debauchery, the apocryphal gnostic text might be indicative of heresy?
I dont know what it is my guess is that its ambience in this twisted version "new vegas" because i swear i heard the same thing at the end of the latest b0sch video
Ok in den ersten Folgen denkt man noch es wäre wirklich noch alles Fallout NV und das er etwas gefunden hätte was ich persönlich noch nicht kenne ,jetzt sage ich mir es ist alles fake und er benutzt eine MOD für das alles

It's one thing for this poster to be here, but the faces being replaced with black boxes tells me we are not meant to know who these people are/were, even though it's just an ad. My only takeaway is this detail reinforces the fact that people are not meant to be "here," wherever here is.
i disagree i think it points to it being some sort of figure as god. the book the character consumed is a gnostic scripture which describes god as invisible but still showing its precense somehow (blacked out faces) and being in the form of th emother the father and the son, 1 feminine and 2 masculine just like in the poster. maybe you could take it as some corrupted simulation of god
at 4:56 the hobo code translates to (left symbol) 'watch your tongue' and (right symbol) 'good people here'
Maybe whatever 'force' is in that particular area is benevolent as long as you're careful about your behavior?
seems like b0sch didnt "watch his tongue", after trying to cheat his way through the door the area became more hostile and dark
i feel like this is related to the white glove society. the redacted image is from a billboard for the ultra-luxe and the big cleaver accompanied with "good people here" seems related. i dont have foresight cuz im binging the current episodes but thats my theory. also the abundance of ultra luxe chips doesent help.
@@Personb-yt7hu the player has no ultra lux chips. They've all been converted to Gomorrah chips, just like gold turns to smithereens in stories about retribution for greedy. Also, read about the book he picked up at the table and you'll understand that the picture is a reference to Father, Mother and the Child the book tells about.

decoded from ROT-13
"He-Who-Is is ineffable. No principle knew him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature from the foundation of the world, except he alone. For he is immortal and eternal, having no birth; for everyone who has birth will perish. He is unbegotten, having no beginning; for everyone who has a beginning has an end. No one rules over him. He has no name; for whoever has a name is the creation of another. He is unnameable. He has no human form; for whoever has human form is the creation of another. He has his own semblance - not like the semblance we have received and seen, but a strange semblance that surpasses all things and is better than the totalities. It looks to every side and sees itself from itself. He is infinite; he is incomprehensible. He is ever imperishable (and) has no likeness (to anything). He is unchanging good. He is faultless. He is everlasting. He is blessed. He is unknowable, while he (nonetheless) knows himself. He is immeasurable. He is untraceable. He is perfect, having no defect. He is imperishably blessed. He is called 'Father of the Universe'."

This is a passage from a poem by Jorge Luis Borges,
Three Versions of Judas
For context, this is part of the passage before the one shown in the video
"God made Himself totally a man but a man to the point of infamy, a man to the point of reprobation and the abyss. To save us, He could have chosen any of the destinies which make up the complex web of history; He could have been Alexander or Pythagoras or Rurik or Jesus; He chose the vilest destiny of all: He was Judas."
Here is the full passage from the video
"In vain the bookshops of Stockholm and Lund proposed this revelation to the public. The incredulous considered it, a priori, an insipid and laborious theological game, the theologians scorned it. Runeberg sensed in this ecumenical indifference an almost miraculous confirmation. God had ordained this indifference; God did not want His terrible secret divulged on earth. Runeberg understood that the hour had not yet arrived. He felt that ancient and divine maledictions were converging upon him; he remembered Elijah and Moses, who on the mountain top covered their faces in order not to see God; Isaiah, who was terrified when he saw the One whose glory fills the earth; Saul, whose eyes were struck blind on the road to Damascus; the rabbi Simeon ben Azai, who saw Paradise and died; the famous sorcerer John of Viterbo, who became mad when he saw the Trinity; the Midrashim, who abhor the impious who utter the Shem Hamephorash, the Secret Name of God. Was he not perhaps guilty of that dark crime? Would this not be the blasphemy against the Spirit, the one never to be forgiven (Matthew 12:31)? Valerius Soranus died for having divulged the hidden name of Rome; what infinite punishment would be his for having discovered and divulged the horrible name of God?"

I tried my best to decipher this but none of the methods I attempted worked. Its almost certainly a message or passage of some sort but its lost on me.
Thank you very much, is kind of interesting how there's mention of religion in such a way, also the name Elijah.
I don't think, I think new Vegas is the game with the most religion mentioned out of all
Genuinely fascinating. What I get from this is the player clipped out of bounds and entered, at best, God's domain. At worst, this is some sort of Purgatory/Backrooms equivalent or a place He cannot touch. Either way, definitely a place no mortal should enter.
@@TheCh33ks More than mortal i think the themes or religion comes into place at the idea of the "van buren" beta side of things, since we see a lot of references about the lore of new vegas and even some nods to beta content.
Honestly the best horror webseries ive ever seen
ok but what's up with the date/time is my question
1:31, in pipboy: 04.-118.79, 8:52
11:11, in sleep menu: Monday, 06.79.79, 9:05 PM
11:56, in pipboy: 07.50.79, 3:27
Could it be 2079? 2 years after the nukes dropped??? Given that there are pre war lore mentions.
@@mkarg5012or maybe 2279
@@mkarg5012I think so actually! I had to look up the pipboy map screen to refresh my memory but based on the date format in-game it looks very likely. Could also be 2279, as the game apparently takes place in 2282, but either way the negative number for the day portion means it's clearly before the setting of the game itself apparently. That or it could mean the date and time are meant to be coordinates if they're getting into slightly complex arg elements idk
@@finn_in_the_bin5263 yeah I thought they where coordinates at first glance but it was hard to find any location. I like the idea of being closely after the nukes dropped by again, given how the wastes are empty and dried of any life. But the way the time on the Pipboy constantly change could mean that the in game time it's quickly advancing back and forth or maybe just fast enough to tell more about the story of Bosch and the pilot, but the moment he entered the caves time itself got convoluted.
And given the dunwich references, it easy to interpret this as the pilot finding himself in his own hell, Bosch inadvertently crossed paths with one of the many cursed caves in the fallout franchise that were praised pre war. I got this idea since we see the face in the cave in a later video and the sudden change of scenery, a more focalized hell that could be explained in lore as that one mine in Fallout 4 where you get a legendary machete, the character starts having strong hallucinations and also relives moments in his live, just like this but in a more subtle manner that the spectator and even Bosch don't realize.
If you slow down the beginning of this video, you can see the very slow death of in-game bosch, or an alternate bosch that got a limb chopped off.
i'm really racking my brain trying to figure out what on earth acrylonitrile has to do with the events of this story. it definitely has meaning since it's not an item in FNV, much less a consumable. I'm thinking it has something to do with the references to Mad God (great taste btw) that sagan hawkes pointed out.
Mad god and acrylonile? how does this link, also wasn't fallout new vegas before mad god?
Hieronymus Bosch?
Bosch is the name of the channel and the character. In a previous episode he finds a corpse of himself so it's very much personalized to the player
the gibberish text on the library terminal must be the infinite monkey theory also there was cut content for adding some public domain books to the game via terminals iirc
Apparently, It's ROT-13. Someone else translated it in another comment, and identified it as a passage from a Jorge Luis Borges story.
I am actively awaiting each upload. Be careful at this point of a story - here (about. you have wiggle room with ep length n soforth) is where you can either start dragging out too long, or put up story - but that can also box you in further than intended.
Maybe pull some out of the box stuff - recruit help for a talking npc? I wouldn't want to dictate it as a viewer. But in any case, really looking forward to more. This is something that really has potential.
Shh its a secret
now im interested, what do you think of the uploads up to this point 7 months after this comment?
1:26 cool it, torrance
No one else has mentioned it, but isnt the place he entered around 5:35 the abandoned house in tranquility lane, which was in fallout 3?
No. It’s just a ruined template. The one in tranquility lane still has pristine looking wallpaper and all that. I might just be misremembering though.
there were also houses in Old World Blues with the same look so its not just in fallout 3 or tranquility lane.
@@potatopotawto1412 No, I meant the house with the Chinese invasion override
@@roastedwatermelon31 Ah, alright. I haven't played Old World Blues yet, so I wouldn't have known.
@@scottthejatt yes i know which one you were talking about but the abandoned house in tranquility lane still has pristine wallpaper and carpeting it's just got ambient junk piles on the floor and an assortment of junk in it.
9:35-9:39 basically confirms where he is
Hell?
4:11 that's 100% a figure. but unlike anything ive seen in fallout before.
My eyes aren't good but i thought it was a female viper gunslinger
Definitely a skeleton, but it looks like maybe it has multiple legs. Like a fucked up spider person or something. Or just debris in front of it, hard to say.
It's a skeleton. There's usually a graphical bug attached when it's used for anything besides decoration.
Whatever it is, one thing is clear. If you get within 50 feet of it, you literally are not surviving.
Reminds me of the honest hearts tribal drawings
So if we're assuming this is some sort of hell allegory or at least viewing it through that lens, I'm wondering if some of these things are meant to be viewed as representative of sins? The alcohol everywhere implies some sort of debauchery, the apocryphal gnostic text might be indicative of heresy?
What's the background music? It's pleasant.
The Underlook Hotel
I was reading that, man
at 6:40 it sounds like something you can put in a spectrograph
Game in the description jumped back up to NV from fallout 3 in the last episode. The time fluctuations are getting more frequent.
Scary how he just enters the back rooms… lol
god is being constructed and that is what is causing this proliferation of hell or heaven or whatever it may be.
6:40
**haircut noises**
Makes my teeth hurt
Another interloper
I inmediatly noticed the Higgs Village house from Old World Blues
Not just OWB. It's an asset that's reused a lot in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
oh hell nah they house of leavesed his ass
CINEMA
anyone know the name to the song playing at 0:39 ?
I dont know what it is my guess is that its ambience in this twisted version "new vegas" because i swear i heard the same thing at the end of the latest b0sch video
What book?
If only this game had stalker radiation vodka resistance hed be good 😂
dude's gonna need all that booze once he gets out of this
5:43 i think that room was part of the simulation in fallout 3
What mod is this?
Imagine if game theory tackled this
Ok in den ersten Folgen denkt man noch es wäre wirklich noch alles Fallout NV und das er etwas gefunden hätte was ich persönlich noch nicht kenne ,jetzt sage ich mir es ist alles fake und er benutzt eine MOD für das alles
I can't stand that this dude doesn't read lore... barely even looks at it wtf
