Jon: "I'm just going to use a Stealth Boy here." Steve Looks confusedly at the device and tries rubbing it on his arms to no effect. After an attempt to stuff it down his pants didn't seem to work, Steve shouts, "U-Reek!", figuring out the true nature of the puzzling contraption. Steve chokes down the Stealth Boy and by bumping into the various crayons and smalls stones he was known to eat that had become lodged in his belly, the device activates.

That's why we keep a wall mounted first aid kit still wrapped in plastic next to the couch in the second deck lounge (the most unlikely place to get injured) and an unmarked cabinet full of first aid supplies to actually be used. It also keeps incompetent crew-members from using non-adherent trauma dressings for severe burns on a "Uh-oh, I touched the hot stove and it burned me a bit."

"Why would you ever have a first aid box that was locked?" When I was in the US navy they had to start locking the first aid boxes because people thought they could get high from the atropine.
It's probably that in combination with the fact that medical supplies are a very important resource and they don't want them stolen. They would have some higher level officer unlock first aid.
PRIVATE PYLE WHY IS YOUR MEDICINE CABINET UNLOCK!!! IF THERE IS ONE THING IN THIS WORLD I HATE IT IS AN UNLOCKED MEDICINE CABINET YOU KNOW THAT DON’T YOU!!!

I’m normally blown away whenever I learn a new thing about New Vegas, but the prospector saloon moonshine shack and now the sharecropper farm barracks just feel embarrassing that I’ve walked past them hundreds of times without noticing the door.
Panda19 I still love both games, but I’d agree with you and say that the main campaign of NV definitely looks a bit worse than 3-I think the heavy green filter helps 3. NV definitely has a filter, but it’s less noticeable than 3’s or any of NV’s DLCs, which definitely employ heavy filters.
Jon, if you get Confirmed Bachelor you can get free repairs from Knight (well kinda free, you need the money that it'd cost but you don't actually spend it).
does anyone else think it insane that you need a certain degree of skill to safely trigger a bear trap, but an immensely more complicated object like mines you don't
I did a Level 1 Hardcore run of Dead Money once, it actually wasn't all that bad. But granted I had a character specifically tailored for the DLC, not Useless Steve.

@The Nova renaissance Yeah I'd agree with that, the characters and their stories are really my biggest reasons for it being my favorite. Lonesome Road is by far the most difficult, especially at lower levels. Honest Hearts is the weakest dlc of the bunch in my opinion.

One day Useless Steve will be strong enough to return and rid Goodsprings of the giant radscorpion menace. On that day they will finally call him Useful Steve.
You'd think after all these years together New Vegas would know that flashing you're still wearing NCR armor in the corner of the screen right before Jon turns the corner right into the view of the Legion in Nipton.
I don’t think “Useless Steve” would be smart enough to wait for the guided tour to begin to gain access to the doors in the repcon facility. Lol. Your Fallout videos are great btw! Great,fun, and challenging play-throughs.
Two differences I would add based on my own restricted survival runs. First in the 'ghoul motel' area you can run around and kill the ghouls with mines. They will always try to travel via the little plank bridges so run arou d through the water etc & set mines & mines & mines. Once you get used to it it works like a charm. Secondly, health restoration will be key so the survival skill is your friend. Getting the ability to cook up curative eq is golden. 👌
Thank you, Jon, for ending my weekend on a high note. Really enjoy your videos. Are you going to go through all the DLC with New Vegas? Imagine the fun of the Sierra Madre with Steve's skills. Or maybe the Big MT? Thanks again for the fun video.
When you skipped the two mags in the implant building, I couldn't stop thinking about how you could've just carried them around the corner and taken them. I do that at the Silver Rush every time.
Just love the image of some absolute fool running around the wasteland, screaming "ICE CREAM" and taking down raiders with a BB gun. This is such a ludicrous run omg.
My favourite bit was the game reminding useless Steve as he walked up to the legion that he was still wearing nice armour. Still walked up to them anyway.
When he did fallout 2 this time last year, it really helped me out of a bad time in my life, and now a year later and I'm as happy as can be and over my depression
Jon, you are very knowledgeable about this game so I figured you already knew and were doing it on purpose, but you can just walk on the baby mantises to kill them. Only the baby ones like in the cell in the Patrol station or freshly hatched ones, but I've been watching you waste ammo on them for literal years so I thought I'd mention it.
1:09:54 Jon - Vaguely hope for a cripple. Game - Feral Ghoul Roamer Head Crippled Jon - That was not a cripple For once, Jon's character matches his own perception.
Anyone else find it hilarious how Jon pauses between the two Bs in BB? I had to think about for a second, then I realized that maybe gas-powered rifles that shoot small metal balls aren't a common children's toy outside of the US haha.
The same thing with a radscorpion moving into Goodsprings happened to me in a run. I was trying to get some experience points by potshoting radscorps from the Goodsprings Cemetery. One big chap survived, followed me up the hill, and down to town as I ran like a coward. If you kill it in the town, that apparently becomes it's respawn point, however. Sum'bitch killed pretty much everyone in town as they went from the saloon to home or back. Chet and Doc pretty much had the town to themselves, eventually.
A fun thing about why the ravers didn't follow you in after you died is because when you reload a save most enemies outside of that loaded cell will just not be able to detect you until you go out and alert them.
I love really serious challenge runs like this. I find these series a lot more engaging when Jon has to come up with specific plans and constantly adapt to the game.
Have you considered doing a Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough? It is a conversion mod that combines 3 and all of it's DLC into New Vegas, letting you do all the content of both games on one character.
Jon wonders why first aid kits are locked as he steals peoples medicine

LOL , he is just in character as Useless Steve! I can actually hear Useless Steve say it himself.
I love how long your videos are, and the wonderfully odd ideas for series you come up with.
I don’t think “Useless Steve” would be smart enough to wait for the guided tour to begin to gain access to the doors in the repcon facility. Lol. Your Fallout videos are great btw! Great,fun, and challenging play-throughs.
I now want to see just how many enemies Jon can kite back into Goodsprings to hang out with Tim the Giant Rad Scorpion.
I'm putting in a vote for the "Gojira" hack....just to make it even more inhospitable...
Two differences I would add based on my own restricted survival runs. First in the 'ghoul motel' area you can run around and kill the ghouls with mines. They will always try to travel via the little plank bridges so run arou d through the water etc & set mines & mines & mines. Once you get used to it it works like a charm. Secondly, health restoration will be key so the survival skill is your friend. Getting the ability to cook up curative eq is golden. 👌
Love that jon moves through tabs then blames game on not loading everything
25:05 Actually I was thinking you should hit the strip first since you could get the credit check passport on your way in.
The funny thing about this series so far is even with Luck of 1, Jon has gotten some pretty lucky breaks lol
Thank you, Jon, for ending my weekend on a high note. Really enjoy your videos. Are you going to go through all the DLC with New Vegas? Imagine the fun of the Sierra Madre with Steve's skills. Or maybe the Big MT? Thanks again for the fun video.
The "easy" solution to dealing with Benny.
That can mean two things lol
When you skipped the two mags in the implant building, I couldn't stop thinking about how you could've just carried them around the corner and taken them. I do that at the Silver Rush every time.
I really love the sheriff’s outfit for the cowboy aesthetic but it is tragic that it gives no DT
Useless Steve also has to contend with the “Jon” debuff, which brings down his already low perception into the negatives.
I honestly still don't know why Jon doesn't step in the mantises. You don't need to shoot them at all you can literally just stomp them to death
Just saying jon, if you play the DLC Big Mt would be a godsend since you can craft skill books
You can only craft one of each. The recipe holotape is consumed.
Both a new Crusader Kings 2 series, and an interesting New Vegas series? This is the best time to be alive.
Just love the image of some absolute fool running around the wasteland, screaming "ICE CREAM" and taking down raiders with a BB gun. This is such a ludicrous run omg.
"BB shells" lmao
that's not tim the radscorpion thats tim jr, him and his radbrothers will haunt goodsprings forever and its YOUR FAULT. justice for easy pete
My favourite bit was the game reminding useless Steve as he walked up to the legion that he was still wearing nice armour. Still walked up to them anyway.
When he did fallout 2 this time last year, it really helped me out of a bad time in my life, and now a year later and I'm as happy as can be and over my depression
jon- fun side note the Q-35 matter modulator is a nod to marvin the martians Q-36 space modulator
I really like this idea for a series, I don't think I'd have the patience to do this myself - so thanks again!
"This is the trap house, isn't it...? Might as well nip in while I'm near by."
What happens in New Vegas, stays in New Vegas.
Jon, you are very knowledgeable about this game so I figured you already knew and were doing it on purpose, but you can just walk on the baby mantises to kill them. Only the baby ones like in the cell in the Patrol station or freshly hatched ones, but I've been watching you waste ammo on them for literal years so I thought I'd mention it.
1:09:54
Jon - Vaguely hope for a cripple.
Game - Feral Ghoul Roamer Head Crippled
Jon - That was not a cripple
For once, Jon's character matches his own perception.
Yess, I'm so happy this series is continuing
With those small mantis nymphs you can walk on them and it's kills them. I always do it like that to save ammo
Anyone else find it hilarious how Jon pauses between the two Bs in BB? I had to think about for a second, then I realized that maybe gas-powered rifles that shoot small metal balls aren't a common children's toy outside of the US haha.
Most people in the US don't even know that BB means "ball bearing."
Are you gonna be doing kill everyone walkthrough when Cyberpunk comes out? Great vids as always!
The same thing with a radscorpion moving into Goodsprings happened to me in a run. I was trying to get some experience points by potshoting radscorps from the Goodsprings Cemetery. One big chap survived, followed me up the hill, and down to town as I ran like a coward. If you kill it in the town, that apparently becomes it's respawn point, however. Sum'bitch killed pretty much everyone in town as they went from the saloon to home or back. Chet and Doc pretty much had the town to themselves, eventually.
A fun thing about why the ravers didn't follow you in after you died is because when you reload a save most enemies outside of that loaded cell will just not be able to detect you until you go out and alert them.
I love really serious challenge runs like this. I find these series a lot more engaging when Jon has to come up with specific plans and constantly adapt to the game.
Have you considered doing a Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough? It is a conversion mod that combines 3 and all of it's DLC into New Vegas, letting you do all the content of both games on one character.
The first time I played the game victor walked into repconn and scared me shitless. Never seen him do that since, not sure he’s actually supposed to
