Everyone's always like "why did it put the finger on her if she's gonna be harvested?" Bruh, the robot is malfunctioning on a max level, do we really expect a level of consistency in this madness? 😂
It’s also possible that the robot has some default programming to fix anything that’s “broken” that kicks in unless specifically overridden. Giving the robot orders to harvest organs wouldn’t necessarily preclude it also trying to follow its default behavior first unless whoever gave the order explicitly told it not to.
I think the reasoning offered makes a lot of sense (for a malfunctioning robot). But, it also makes me think of an alternate universe where he started making the first incision, detected that she was injured, stopped cutting, patched her up to “mint”, started cutting again, realized she was injured again, stopped again… And just did that for an infinite logical loop (until he ran out of supplies, she ran out of blood, or something else). But robots stuck in infinite loops are right at home in the Fallout universe. 😂
Becoming a ghoul is a random occurrence that is never explained in depth. All we know is that radiation exposure is involved. In Fallout: New Vegas, you come across a body with a diary that talks about how she wanted to become a ghoul, and exposed herself to radiation. She died of radiation poisoning.
Originally, it was a small number of humans through a genetic anomaly that turned into ghouls when exposed to sustained levels of radiation, however there is another way to become a ghoul via medical/technological means. In Fallout 4, Nick Valentine's companion quest is tracking down a ghoulified pre-war criminal called Eddie Winter. He became a ghoul before the bombs dropped via some cutting edge technological research. I seem to recall there is another example of someone turning into a ghoul through a similar process, but cannot remember the specifics.
I think the in-game lore suggests that ghoulification is usually the result of a short but massive exposure to rads. And it doesn't happen to everyone; it's a weird genetic thing where most people suffer the usual acute radiation syndrome, but a few will mutate and start to turn into a ghoul. So most of the normal people, like in Filly, will have lived their whole lives with a constant but lower radiation exposure, so will just be prone to the usual defects and cancers you'd expect and probably have a reduced lifespan
@@olegshtolc7245 no thats super mutants that you need the FEV for. Ghouls are accidental and in game theres no one direct cause. Like Vicar up there said, all people know is radiation leads to ghoulification in one form or another.
Nuka World in Fallout 4 suggested that it was due to radiation over a very long period of time, like decades. I don't buy that it can happen so quickly the way this programme shows.
there are instances of it happening quickly to near immediately in the games. at least 4 locations in New Vegas depict ghouls that were made more recently. one a decade or two before the game, one right before the start of the game, and two that happen during the course of the game.
From what I remember... there are 116 vaults in Fallout. Many of them had really deranged social experiments going on in them, but there were "control" vaults with no experiment. The "Gary" vault was my favorite... and it was full of clones of a guy named Gary...that could only say his name. Think of a vault full of Hodors from Game of Thrones.
Whoever decided to cast Matt Berry as the voice of the Mr. Handys deserves a raise. Now can someone make a mod to have the Mr. Handys in the Fallout games have the voice of Matt Berry?
@@watershipdowneyjr I don't think training an AI to replicate an actor's voice without his consent is going to end well. at some point someone's getting sued.
@@twichytail uh huh, it's already happening all over the place. Sure I can see some kind of litigation vs official games and companies but mods? Good luck.
With 'The Ghoul' I feel like you could do a whole series about his early days surviving in the apocalypse. How you could go from a man clearly with a conscience, even to the point of not wanting to kill his enemy in a movie role; to this merciless cold blooded killer would be fascinating. I know some of the earliest vaults didn't open until at least half a year after the bombs dropped (And in presumably lightly radiated areas), so what was life like for him? How did he deal with becoming a Ghoul and presumably turning into the zombie like man we see him as today? One smart thing I did note about his character however is that when he's first dug up, the leader of the bounty hunters asks if he wants to be buried for ANOTHER 30 years. If he's been buried for that long then he's missed everything to do with Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4. I suspect it's because they didn't want to have to ask where he was during those major events in the wasteland.
To hear another pre-war ghoul gunslinger, Raul Tejada, tell it, it was probably the most fucked up and violent period of the Fallout timeline. Everyone left in the world turning on each other at once, driven mad by grief and pain.
I get the feeling his coping mechanism is literally that role from the movie, he's acting to keep himself going, as I noticed he's always putting on the accent of the character, but there's a line he has in episode 8 that he shouts without the accent, and thats Cooper talking rather than the ghoul.
Why does everyone give Maximus shit for bullying the guy that bullied him? Thaddeus is the reason Maximus was getting his ass beat at camp everyday. Can you really fault him for wanting a little payback?
Maximus does the same thing as Thaddeus. Thaddeus got beat up too, then he started beating up Maximus, then Maximus started bullying Thaddeus. Sounds like they're both assholes to me. There was the usual hazing at camp.
Thaddeus bullied and beat a new recruit that had never done anything to him. Maximus got a little payback at the guy that used to bully him. It’s not the same situation at all and it doesn’t make Maximus an asshole.
@@angeloallen991He's mocking Thaddeus, you can say what you want, but Maximus' smile speaks the obvious. Maximum is a cool character, but he's the most boring of the three. He's weaker than Cooper and Lucy, dumber than Cooper and Lucy. He's literally my grandfather's character who I ran fallout 4 and he pumped everything into luck and walks through the wasteland miraculously not dying from bums who wanted to steal armor, he doesn't get killed for cheating at the end (I don't know how they believed him when he excused himself for his friend's leg) and also becomes a hero at the end...just like that.
@@mieuxquevouse8685 Maximus is struggling between being and asshole and doing the right thing. He seems to enjoy the power trip but he also told the squire to leave when he fought that sea anima. It's the law of the wasteland. I still dont like Maximus for other reasons but has nothing to do with Thaddeus.
Ghoul doing that act of kindness had me tearing up pretty bad the first time. It's also neat seeing that he still has his humanity, it's just that it's locked away deep down for him because that's what he had to do to survive and it seems like he was trying to teach Lucy that shit ain't sweet out in the wilds (sort of another act of kindness or maybe sick enjoyment, or both) ALSO I love that Vault 32 is set up exactly how it would be in a game, with the bodies in positions that tell a story, sometimes in unrealistic ways but like in believable and immersive!
Correct. In the Fallout universe, the transistor wasn't invented in the late 1940s like it was in our history - instead, it wasn't invented until almost 120 years later. The transistor is what leads to the ability to make smaller electronics (like desktop computers) that were also less energy hungry. As a result, technology in the Fallout universe was mostly per-transistor tech, so things like vacuum tubes. And because of the energy requirements, more focus was put into nuclear energy to meet energy needs. So the Fallout universe has more advanced nuclear power technologies, but less advanced electronics in many regards.
@@krashd but institute was technically more advanced than vault tech with teleportation and the technology to make synths, they were able to make much more progress with science than vault tech
So, the way Ghouls work, from what I understand from the game lore, you need a massive blast of radiation to turn you into one. Most ghouls came about after the bombs dropped, but there are a some that turned in the years following. In Fallout 4 there is a companion who was once just a guy who was living in the wasteland and I think something happened where he got trapped with a bunch of highly radioactve waste and was turned into a ghoul from how long he was stuck there. There was also a sidequest that revealed that before the war there was a mob boss who essentially turned himself into a ghoul before the bombs dropped by intentionally exposing himself to radiation, in a crazy attempt to become immortal. Which he did become immortal, but he also became feral and the PC has to kill them if they find him. Also, in regards to becoming Feral, some ghouls will immediately turn feral upon changing. For those who don't though, they are forever at risk of becoming Feral. From what I picked up from the game, it seems like something that is considered to be just a matter of time, drugs don't seem to worsen it or make it better.
I actually really like Maximus's story, he keeps messing up (he seems kinda stupid) he seems selfish at times but also sometimes has his heart in the right place.
Fallout has a very loose interpretation of radiation. Mainly that radiation dmg isn't really permanent. You can clear it with rad-away easily. Plus you get cool mutations like how they get super powers in comics XD
Yeah, pretty sure it's intentional, since that's pretty much what most people thought about radiation back in the 40's and 50's. I mean, we sold radioactive isotopes in children's toys. Play hide and seek with a Geiger counter!
Radiation in the game is pretty much the same as radiation in real life, the difference is the existence of a drug that can "detox" a person of accumulated rads. If anything that would be a re-interpretation of medicine, but seeing as the world went to shit in an alternate 2077 it's not too far fetched to imagine their universe, at some point, invented a drug/nanomechanism that can remove dangerous isotopes from your body.
@@krashd Radiation in real life doesn't turn creatures into much larger monstrosities like mole rats, radroaches, bloodbugs etc. Or turn humans into semi immortal creatures that regenerate wounds the more radiation they absorb. Small differences there.
In the lore, I think there's moments that suggests that certain people with a certain gene or possibly something in their DNA make them susceptible to Ghoulification. There's a Ghoul Doctor, Doctor Barrows in Fallout 3 that resides in the Underworld (a sort of Ghoul refuge) and he is supposed to be one of the formost experts in Ghouls, trying to figure out what causes it specifically and thinks there is a way to slow down the process and maybe even reverse it. So it's always kinda been suggested that Ghouls aren't solely due to Radiation, otherwise more people would've became Ghouls instead of just getting Radiation Sickness and ultimately dying like a majority of people did when the bombs dropped. The player character in Fallout 3 can also do the Moira Brown and her Wasteland Survival Guide questline, one of the tasks she gives us is getting radiation sickness and an optional objective to get even further irradiated, which leads to the character becoming mutated and gaining the Rad Regeneration perk (the player's crippled limbs will regenerate if they have advanced radiation poisoning) despite being cured of radiation by her indicating something determines wether or not someone with high levels of radiation will mutate and change in some way. So there's definitely something more to becoming a Ghoul than we know about.
Its because of FEV. In fallout 1, a nuclear silo containing FEV was directly hit with a chinese nuke, blowing FEV into the atmosphere. This gave everyone a minor amount of it, which causes some mutations, including invisible ones such as the ability to resist radiation. However, the FEV sometimes interacts with radiation and tries healing it away, causing it to crisp like a burn, eventually resulting in ghoulification
@bajscast I don't think it is though lol. That may have been the case during Fallout 1 but everyone knows that things change and stuff that F1 and even F2 set up might not be the case anymore. We don't know what parts of those game's lore is still retroactive or has been changed in return for something else. They very obviously have their own ideas for this sorta stuff now so while FEV is one of the big factors that'll always play a role in the lore, I'm not of the mindset that it plays into Ghoulification. We have Ghouls literally all over the country, so while radiation does travel and get sent across a wider area. Hitting a silo of FEV with a nuke and saying "its traveled across the entire atmosphere" is not logical, or else everybody on the surface would have been affected by FEV. I love Fallout 1 and 2 but if that's the reason they give, it's just bad writing on Fallout 1's part because it ain't logically sound lol. Edit: I'm not saying FEV can't be part of the reason but it still needs to fit within current lore and make sense, we just don't know for certain.
13:45 She hit all shots dead center in the intro. And no, sorry dudes but the TLoU game has so much more interactions with Ellie alone and other content, as well as a completely different Bill story line. Hell, even Joel is a very different person and much more of an asshole compared to the show. You can't just go to Part 2 from having watched the show. And yes, the Fallout show is officially canon.
the ghoul wasn't really referring to her turning into a ghoul herself I mean kind of. He was more alluding to her turning into him as a person who does whatever to stay alive. This episode was important for Lucy's development because it showed she can be just as tough and ruthless as the wastlanders but still have morals and no not everyone can turn into a ghoul the radiation kills them or turns them. So its not a everyone eventually turns into a ghoul thing.
(spoiler) can anyone answer this to me whether my assumption is right or wrong in this episode we see roger who was ghoul and our ghoul asked him how good food use to taste and I think roger was ghoul for 28 years or something, so is it possible that roger might be one of the survivors of shady sands incident, cause that is where they had civilization, and if there is civilization then they will have good food compare to the food they get from the wasteland.
So to answer (or attempt to) some of the questions at the end. There are roughly 120 vaults (with some in Canada since the US ended up annexing Canada). As for ghouls, we don’t exactly know where they come from, all we do know is that radiation exposure is a part of it. But we don’t know the specifics, since fallout has traded hands a bit and all sides have different interpretations. But Bethesda seems to be taking them towards a strange lovecraft angle. So maybe the show will go that way with a certain character in the show.
if you can find it, there is an old polish movie about "vaults" named S*exmission... 2 guys wake up from cryo in a vault full of women, men stopped existing 60 years ago..its not porn...its a comedy movie/ some site made a recap of it lately
HBO's The Last of Us showed the main story but the game still has a lot of things that you wouldn't get just from watching the show. And you wouldn't able to relate how heavy things are esp on season 2 the way those who played the game. Games and adaptations are always different experience.
Fantastic artwork depicting the Normies as Fallout characters at the beginning! The only thing I'd have changed would be, rather than Chris holding a ham hock in his right hand, a junk jet on his left hip. Loving these reactions, and it just gets better up to the mind blowing season finally in episode 8! Always looking forward to the next!
When it comes to the creation of ghouls, they never really explain it in depth. Part of the problem in doing so is that becoming ghoul has a lot of random factors. Specifically, the amount of radiation, the duration of exposure, a person's individual genetic traits etc. At its heart, becoming a ghoul is a form of random mutation and predicting the outcome of such mutations can be difficult. Even the outcome of the condition can vary amongst ghouls. Some gain regenerative properties while others actually suffer flesh necrosis and lose limbs.
I WAS SOOO HAPPY TO HEAR MATT BERRY’S VOICE!!! I would recognize Lazlo’s voice anywhere haha 🤣. Also I know you’re ahead of this on Patreon so this isn’t a spoiler. But I WAS SO PUMPED TO SEE MATT BERRY SHOW UP a couple episodes later. Because that opens the door for him to show up in future seasons or a spin off.
Which has a lot of us curious about the player character from Fallout: London. Though the trailer shows your character waking up from some sort of suspended animation with lots of scientists fussing over you.
I get Chris's thing about not playing a game when you already know the story. I haven't seen the Last of Us show, even though I trust people who say its good. Its just that...I've already experienced that story, and with the immersion and participatory aspects of the game, plus the longer overall time you spend in that world with those characters, I feel like I've gotten the definitive version. Hell, I've tried to replay the game a couple times over the years, even bought the first of it's many "Remasters" so I could play it on PS4, and I always fall off early on and end up doing something else. The game play's fine, but what makes it special is the story, and those beats are never gonna land the same way they did the first time. You can't go back and recapture that magic.
Suraj is the biggest mouth with nothing interesting, funny or witty to say, he needs a muzzle. I see his transition is coming along nicely, he has long girly hair to play with now.😂😂😂😂😂
Regarding The Last of Us, the show only followed the broad details of the game; so many of the small details were changed or cut that there would be enough new content to keep you engaged. For instance, you didn't get ANY of Bill's interactions with Ellie, and that _alone_ is worth the price of admission! (Both are good, but they were smart enough to make it so one does not replace the other.)
Could have done without the finger scene but I think they were trying to hint at Lucy potentially losing her morality a bit. Or to show that Lucy and the Ghoul aren’t all that different after all.
If all in Vault 32 were dead for two years, that means that Hank (33 Oversear) knew there was a problem, as he would have had to communicate with their Oversear regularly. There are 122 Vaults.
Chris is right about the Last of Us, it's a copy paste job so seeing one kinda dilutes the other, for example since I knew the story from the game I found most of the show extremely boring, only watched it out of curiosity but I can't say I enjoyed it much.

So it's always kinda been suggested that Ghouls aren't solely due to Radiation, otherwise more people would've became Ghouls instead of just getting Radiation Sickness and ultimately dying like a majority of people did when the bombs dropped.
The player character in Fallout 3 can also do the Moira Brown and her Wasteland Survival Guide questline, one of the tasks she gives us is getting radiation sickness and an optional objective to get even further irradiated, which leads to the character becoming mutated and gaining the Rad Regeneration perk (the player's crippled limbs will regenerate if they have advanced radiation poisoning) despite being cured of radiation by her indicating something determines wether or not someone with high levels of radiation will mutate and change in some way.
So there's definitely something more to becoming a Ghoul than we know about.
Its because of FEV. In fallout 1, a nuclear silo containing FEV was directly hit with a chinese nuke, blowing FEV into the atmosphere. This gave everyone a minor amount of it, which causes some mutations, including invisible ones such as the ability to resist radiation. However, the FEV sometimes interacts with radiation and tries healing it away, causing it to crisp like a burn, eventually resulting in ghoulification
@bajscast I don't think it is though lol.
That may have been the case during Fallout 1 but everyone knows that things change and stuff that F1 and even F2 set up might not be the case anymore.
We don't know what parts of those game's lore is still retroactive or has been changed in return for something else.
They very obviously have their own ideas for this sorta stuff now so while FEV is one of the big factors that'll always play a role in the lore, I'm not of the mindset that it plays into Ghoulification.
We have Ghouls literally all over the country, so while radiation does travel and get sent across a wider area.
Hitting a silo of FEV with a nuke and saying "its traveled across the entire atmosphere" is not logical, or else everybody on the surface would have been affected by FEV.
I love Fallout 1 and 2 but if that's the reason they give, it's just bad writing on Fallout 1's part because it ain't logically sound lol.
Edit: I'm not saying FEV can't be part of the reason but it still needs to fit within current lore and make sense, we just don't know for certain.

13:45 She hit all shots dead center in the intro.
And no, sorry dudes but the TLoU game has so much more interactions with Ellie alone and other content, as well as a completely different Bill story line. Hell, even Joel is a very different person and much more of an asshole compared to the show. You can't just go to Part 2 from having watched the show.
And yes, the Fallout show is officially canon.
13:01 "Hey, thank you!" Just one second but he's already my favorite character. He reappears in the background later too
In what scene?
"Well... I know what I'm going to say when it happens"
Chris, that was wild 😂
7:28 “is it the overwhelming rez of this-“ famous last words
Im so happy that there are Fallout players who are watching this as well as non Fallout players. Its so great to have the two perspectives! 😊❤
the ghoul wasn't really referring to her turning into a ghoul herself I mean kind of. He was more alluding to her turning into him as a person who does whatever to stay alive. This episode was important for Lucy's development because it showed she can be just as tough and ruthless as the wastlanders but still have morals and no not everyone can turn into a ghoul the radiation kills them or turns them. So its not a everyone eventually turns into a ghoul thing.
(spoiler)
can anyone answer this to me whether my assumption is right or wrong in this episode we see roger who was ghoul and our ghoul asked him how good food use to taste and I think roger was ghoul for 28 years or something, so is it possible that roger might be one of the survivors of shady sands incident, cause that is where they had civilization, and if there is civilization then they will have good food compare to the food they get from the wasteland.
A lot of the questions you guys ask can be answered by playing F76. Lunging gouls, flying power armor, and more.
marketa having a visceral reaction is sending me to the floor laughing
None of the noticed the robot was Matt Berry aka Lazlo from What We Do In The Shadows or mannnnny mannny other things.
So to answer (or attempt to) some of the questions at the end. There are roughly 120 vaults (with some in Canada since the US ended up annexing Canada). As for ghouls, we don’t exactly know where they come from, all we do know is that radiation exposure is a part of it. But we don’t know the specifics, since fallout has traded hands a bit and all sides have different interpretations. But Bethesda seems to be taking them towards a strange lovecraft angle. So maybe the show will go that way with a certain character in the show.
“Can we not do this to each other” had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Lucy isn't a charisma build, she's a luck build.
On Kotaku there are a few builds for main characters. As for Lucy:
Strength-4
Perception-7
Endurance-6
Charisma-5
Intelligence-6
Agility-5
Luck- 7
She definitely seems to be quite the all rounder, except maybe charisma, as her opening montage in episode 1 has quite a few feats there.
if you can find it, there is an old polish movie about "vaults" named S*exmission... 2 guys wake up from cryo in a vault full of women, men stopped existing 60 years ago..its not porn...its a comedy movie/ some site made a recap of it lately
HBO's The Last of Us showed the main story but the game still has a lot of things that you wouldn't get just from watching the show. And you wouldn't able to relate how heavy things are esp on season 2 the way those who played the game. Games and adaptations are always different experience.
Silo on appletv is kind of a vault type of show
Fantastic artwork depicting the Normies as Fallout characters at the beginning! The only thing I'd have changed would be, rather than Chris holding a ham hock in his right hand, a junk jet on his left hip. Loving these reactions, and it just gets better up to the mind blowing season finally in episode 8! Always looking forward to the next!
8:12 where in the name of Rich Evans, did you get that mug?!
There is at least 111. Fallout 4 surrounds around vault 111 so there is at least that many.
Suraj's saga with the volleyball from 24:05 to 25:53 is so random 😂😂
the way it slowly and peacefully came into frame but exited the complete opposite 😂😂😂
When it comes to the creation of ghouls, they never really explain it in depth. Part of the problem in doing so is that becoming ghoul has a lot of random factors. Specifically, the amount of radiation, the duration of exposure, a person's individual genetic traits etc. At its heart, becoming a ghoul is a form of random mutation and predicting the outcome of such mutations can be difficult. Even the outcome of the condition can vary amongst ghouls. Some gain regenerative properties while others actually suffer flesh necrosis and lose limbs.
The first person shots of peoples faces mimic the look of the games dialogue choice screens.
Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas take place on the West Coast.
Fallout 3, 4, and 76 take place on the East Coast.
Not me absolutely rolling at Chris's comment "well I know what I'm saying when it happens" bruuuhhhhhh
Intro is fire 🔥🔥🔥
Note, Lucy Maclean is the same name as the daughter in die hard and her outfit at the end is quite similar with the white undershirt
I WAS SOOO HAPPY TO HEAR MATT BERRY’S VOICE!!! I would recognize Lazlo’s voice anywhere haha 🤣.
Also I know you’re ahead of this on Patreon so this isn’t a spoiler. But I WAS SO PUMPED TO SEE MATT BERRY SHOW UP a couple episodes later. Because that opens the door for him to show up in future seasons or a spin off.
9:00 - Oh my fucking god, is that Matt Berry?
That robot is far from New *Yaaaaahk citeeeeeh*.
What is the beginning song?
I just saw a short with the actor who plays norm and its hilarious that hes the kid who played Rico in hannah montana
Awsome intro and art
T-shirts please!
recommending 'good omens' if you haven't seen it yet ♥︎
20:10 only vault tec made the vaults so until they add to the lore. Only the Us has them scattered throughout the country
Which has a lot of us curious about the player character from Fallout: London. Though the trailer shows your character waking up from some sort of suspended animation with lots of scientists fussing over you.
@@krashd that's modded from the community it's supported by Bethesda but it's not cannon to the lore
please drop the rest of the season soon ❤
Dude, Japan would have the best vaults. Convenience, functionality, and customer satisfaction would actually matter.
This is part of the games canon. It's a story in that same world. The canon isn't changing.
Wait, is that famous Hollywood child celebrity Rich Evans on Suraj's coffee mug?!
Love all your wastelander avatars ❤
I do like the easy kill of snip snip cause in the early game I'm chucking pulse grenades at those things
13:20. Those stoners knew what was coming, so why didn't they have their guns up & ready?
I get Chris's thing about not playing a game when you already know the story. I haven't seen the Last of Us show, even though I trust people who say its good. Its just that...I've already experienced that story, and with the immersion and participatory aspects of the game, plus the longer overall time you spend in that world with those characters, I feel like I've gotten the definitive version. Hell, I've tried to replay the game a couple times over the years, even bought the first of it's many "Remasters" so I could play it on PS4, and I always fall off early on and end up doing something else. The game play's fine, but what makes it special is the story, and those beats are never gonna land the same way they did the first time. You can't go back and recapture that magic.
Ever noticed Lucy McLean is the name od John McLean daughter in Die Hard
Fire intro🔥🔥
"It's a fcking robot"
Love the Intro
Someone rigged the foosball tournament and it got out. Foosball is serious business in vault 32. Well, was.
Forget about it cuh!
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice 😂
Suraj is the biggest mouth with nothing interesting, funny or witty to say, he needs a muzzle. I see his transition is coming along nicely, he has long girly hair to play with now.😂😂😂😂😂
“Roger Roger!”
**blam**
I need Spidey and Chris to stop running from me. I challenge them to a smash bros challenge and yes Chris I will be using Joker
Regarding The Last of Us, the show only followed the broad details of the game; so many of the small details were changed or cut that there would be enough new content to keep you engaged. For instance, you didn't get ANY of Bill's interactions with Ellie, and that _alone_ is worth the price of admission!
(Both are good, but they were smart enough to make it so one does not replace the other.)
Dang, was Marketa drinking moonshine? 👀lol
Could have done without the finger scene but I think they were trying to hint at Lucy potentially losing her morality a bit. Or to show that Lucy and the Ghoul aren’t all that different after all.
I needed this today. 😢❤
The pulled back hair with the beard is a good look for you Suraj!
Is Suraj the one that sits next to 25-year old Albert Einstein?
@@krashd lmao
There’s 122 vaults
That guy all movie eating!
The show is Canon so everything that happens here might be reflected or we'll get easter egg in Fallout 5. [or whatever is the next Fallout game]
Revolution was an under rated show
Loved Fallout , but yall gotta watch Season 1&2 of “Them”
"In the game.."
If all in Vault 32 were dead for two years, that means that Hank (33 Oversear) knew there was a problem, as he would have had to communicate with their Oversear regularly. There are 122 Vaults.
Why would he have to communicate with them regularly?
If anything a vault designed by the Germans would be the best.
Matt Berry, my goat.
Chris is right about the Last of Us, it's a copy paste job so seeing one kinda dilutes the other, for example since I knew the story from the game I found most of the show extremely boring, only watched it out of curiosity but I can't say I enjoyed it much.
Where is X-Men 97 what is the problem why are sleeping on X-Men please react and watch X-Men 97 please
Okie dokie
Wait? It‘s actually called „Foosball“ in English? That‘s very funny to me.
No, the show is from the US, in the UK we call it Table Football.
@@krashd Canadians call it foosball too, though.
LOVE Marketa's sweater!!!
Is that 5 on the right Jar Jar Binks? He doesn't give a damn that it's him. He looks the same, what's worse, he opens his mouth just as stupidly.
What happened to Cobra Kai?
Viva La France
If you’re on the East Coast you’re playing one of the worse Fallouts
No f ffff fudge here
