15 Minutes Of Obscure And Useless Fallout Facts 

Once Again - Thank you to everyone that helped Collab with this project - go check them out! As always - my tweeter @its_jabo

"This next fallout fact brings us back to *fallout 4* in the *megaton* settlement"

jabo i want you to tip me. like physically, not monetarily. push me over jabo, let me be your brahmin.

The irony of Chet being a debug character in fallout 2 and being one of the easiest glitches to exploit in early new Vegas

Solid video brother, I particularly liked the parts around 4:36 and 8:55. No real reason why, they just really struck a chord with me

Here's a weird one: In Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, there's a replacement for Nuka-Cola called Bawls Guarana, which is a real-world drink, and bottle caps from these drinks are worth 100 regular bottle caps (or more if your character had a high-enough barter skill to sell the bottle cap to a vendor for a higher price). This was due to a product placement deal Bawls had with Interplay, which also got the drink into another game, Run Like Hell, that Interplay published 2 years earlier.

Great video Jabo!

"Maybe" from Fallout is possibly my favorite music cue in any game ever. The lyrics that go something like 'maybe you'll ask me to come back again, and maybe I'll say maybe' are perfect considering how Fallout ends, when they're awfully quick to kick out their hero.

I'm Shoddycast, and this is my favorite video on the Citadel.

Ah yes now time to lay back and relax while my eyes glaze over and fifteen minutes of useless fallout facts drift over me. *Bliss*

A related fun fact about the Lonesome Drifter: in the base game, he is the _only_ source of the unique item called the acoustic guitar. (In the Dead Money DLC, there is another acoustic guitar in the Sierra Madre villa.)

Fun fact almost everyone loves the dogs in fallout but in fallout 2 there is a dog companion(he follows you if you fail a check even if your companion slots are filled) called pariah dog. It runs away in every fight and decreases your luck stat until the dog is dead

I've put over 800 hours into New Vegas and I've never realized the graves can make noises, probably because I always listen to the Radio :P Phenomenal video, super informative!

I love the tiny, almost missable things they put into the games like the Dino toys roar, and also the little nods between games. No matter which is your favourite Fallout you can't deny that the series as a whole is fascinating and complex, and very well made.

One thing I didnt know about for the longest time was being able to interact with a trailer above cottonwood cove and dump radiation barrels down on it, which i beleive kills everyone in the area. Also a side note for the companion quests that are stupidly hard to complete like Boones

6:00 Med-X got it's name for the same reason, it was originally morphine but several countries had issues with real drugs being represented in the game.

One fun fact I discovered a while ago is that if you drink alcohol in Fallout 4 and then press E to interact with an NPC, your character will have voice lines that sound like they are drunk when they say "hey" or "s'cuse me" ect.

this was a really cool collab, great video

My favorite fallout fact I found on my own but Google confirmed others did too is in the New Vegas collectors edition there's a secret message on the Platinum Chip you get in Morse code and the roulette wheel on it around the rim.

11:20 to 11:48 was absolute gold, I love the Easy Pete memes.

The grenade in the mailbox is a reference to the "Smiley Face bomber" it's something like that but I believe it was a hint to him for the sole fact he traveled all around the states putting grenades in mailboxes, and so forth. (Also I could be wrong about the name but that's most likely where the reference came from) Edit: And the rigged mailboxes might also be a reference since he also set timers on the bombs

I wonder why House overwrote Victor's choice to join the fight. I know he was there to pick up the different packages, but at this point House knew the Platinum Chip, the only one he actually cared about, had been stolen. (Fun Fact: House didn't tell Victor to save the Courier, he did that in his own). So I don't know why he'd be concerned about making sure this one specific Securitron doesn't 'die'

Recently lost my job and found your twitch and RU-vid and both have been a bright spot while I’m trying to find a new job.

7:40 I'm pretty sure the Todd Howard painting is also in the Museum of Freedom and you pass it during the "When Freedom Calls" quest at the beginning of the game. The fact that it's there is the only reason I knew it existed as I don't know if I've ever been in the Dugout Inn back when I played the game

I always figured the moaning graves were wild wastelander related.

Isn't there a Todd Napoleon painting in the building you meet the minutemen? I seem to recall finding it in alot of buildings around the map.

Couple of quick ones I know for Fallout 3. The main turret that guards Fort Independence (where the Outcasts are stationed) has a voice line. You have to hop onto one of the sand bags on either side of the turret and jump at it, making contact, before it says "Casdin Says You're Clear." There are a couple of giant-sized Teddy Bears in the game...one at the Red Racer factory and one at SatCom Array NN-03d. The one at the SatCom is behind a walled off by wood area on the bottom floor near a motorcycle...you have to load that area with enough frag mine/bottlecap mines and explode them by shooting them to force the bear through the wooden blockade. They can be looted, but be careful...after one or two (maybe three?) loots, they become normal-sized.

Stupid fact: there is no texture on the front of the rear iron sight on the fallout 4 assault rifle

this kind of "useless trivia" (interactions you may have missed, cut content, development stories, easter eggs, etc) is one of my favorite things about video games. awesome video

I've watched all your videos man! Keep up the good work!!

Quickly becoming my favourite fallout creator, only come across you in a past month or so, but I’ve loved all of your stuff! Keep it up Jabo!

about the diamond city diner thing: you don't actually need jet to get over there! when i first heard about that area around 2016 i spent like an hour trying to get over there and didn't think to use jet! it took me forever, but i made it lol

Just played Fallout 3 again after many, many years. I hadn't realized just how laughably short the main questline is back then.

I have like 2000 hours in this game and I had no idea the bit crushed roar and hula music were tied to anything

I love these kind of videos from you Jabo!

Maybe works so perfectly as the opener for Fallout especially with where the vault dwellers story goes its just a great theme, fits so well, it's like it was made for the game. Love it

Jabo was so much less annoying when this came out. I hope we get a return of this personality soon

Jason, your recent uploads have been interesting and I actually look forward to your uploads. Much better than random WR and PB runs. :)

Great video. I can't stop laughing because an ad cut you off and made it sound like you said "if you shit" 😭😭

It's cool to bring the communities together like this. Good stuff man.

the rigged mailbox is like the rigged terminal. I miss those. you're going through some pre-war government facility and reading the terminals for what happened there, and you come across a functional seeming terminal with the spinning antenna. you either don't notice the antenna or do, either way you can activate it like a normal terminal. instead of reading some 200 year old inter office mail, it explodes in your face without warning, and AFAIK, you can't disarm them.

"This next fallout fact brings us back all the way to Fallout 4... so here we are in the Megaton settlement and there is a lot of curious and peculiar NPC's around, perhaps none more peculiar than Easy Pete sitting over there..."

Found it funny that at 11:22 they say "This next fact brings us all the way back to fallout 4", then show fallout NV, then say "In the town of megaton" (from fallout 3), and actually be in goodsprings.

Oh this is my type of vid! I can tell I'm gonna love this.

11:25 was like a flashbang I saw it and was like how did you get this so wrong

Noticed the grave voices just yesterday for the first time in FNV, camp forlorn hope has a stacked graveyard where the whispers play constantly

In fallout new vegas, it's an interesting experience to explore the houses in nipton, in one I found a cage full of scorpions, and traps galore, in another I found a mister gutsy.

I could watch Fallout videos like this all day every day.

3:05 Ok, the absolute best ad timing in the history of this website occurred for me (amplified by how you pronounced "shift" there). An ad break interrupted the video around here, so it sounds like you said "In both Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, if you shit-" and I just died laughing... I need to know... What happens if you shit in Fallout and Fallout 2?

My favorite part of fallout 4 is going to megaton to kill easy Pete

In Fallout 3: If you don't kill the Vault 101 guard that gets attacked by radroaches and remain undetected, he'll later go up to Butch, after you deal with his mother, and ask him if he's seen you. In this example, I had helped Butch and he told the guard that he hadn't seen me.

So I wasnt actually mad huh.. the Graveyard sound I was wondering about that one. I dont play with music on, breaks my immersion. And I could swear I hear it sometime, and just started to think it was my mind playing tricks on me.. sneaky.

What a legendary collab, amazing!

The whispers in the Good Springs Cemetery used to freak me out in middle school 😂

Jabos killing it with the videos. Keep grinding man.

LETS GO HE DROPPED ANOTHER VIDEO , Love Your Streams!!

I was just listening to the audio of this, and heard Fallout 4 Megaton and easy Pete in the same sentence and had to pull the video up lmao. Genius

You can recruit Parker Quinn as a level 4 merchant at your settlements with the intimidation perk.

No collab with many a true nerd? He knows SO much about fallout, especially new vegas.

Love this collab! Especially loved that Salt showed up 🤩

Thanks for the collab it was awsome, your the best Jabo!!! :D

There's a smiley face on the New Vegas sign where you see the NCR Sniper in the opening cinematic. It's a bit faded, but there.

That’s awesome you are giving exposure to other youtubers in clips I subbed to them too

holy shit, this is the first ever video of random facts that actually had me jaw dropped instead of stating the most obvious facts any 12 year old would know. absolutely phenomenal, you earned a new subscriber

This is the video I have been waiting for my entire life but didn't even know it

Also, you are correct about the mailbox bomb, the only other time it appears is in the trap test cell.

The Pilot Wings64 background music in the video is a nice touch

4:28 it's a real-life reference where some people would plant explosive into other's mailbox to kill them. I believe it played a role on discovering the phrase "going postal"

11:20 Voice: "This next fact brings us back to Fallout 4 in the Megatron settlement." Screen: Fallout New Vegas Me: * confuses screaming *

At the very far end in the Nellis air force base are a bunch of graves, if you approach it all the ambient music goes silent and you can clearly hear the whispers

In fallout 1 there is a mad max Easter egg reference where someone matching his idetical description comes into town and its hinted that he was tossed off a building and died.

let's not forget that going to the aces theater at the times on the marquee will let you watch the performance listed, including Josh Sawyer singing Bruce Isaac's songs

Kind of surprised Gopher wasn't on the list, but knowing him, he's busy. :P

Man, you know you once had a problem when you know all of these things. Besides that, great vid.

I only noticed it while playing with headphones for the first time but in New Vegas, the same way the hula girl and graves trigger unique sound files, the large rusty, vault looking computer towers in various places also have a unique computer ticking sound

Subbed, love the useless facts! Also love the speed runs! Keep the content coming Jabo! :D

Anyone else surprised that Salt factory was here, I knew he reviewed the fallout games before but didn't expect him here

The facts might be useless, but this video certainly wasn't. Thanks for the great content.

Damn dude, like all of my favorite RU-vidrs in one place! Awesome.

F:NVs official game guide also suggests that there would be more explosive mailboxes. Probably early cut content?

Please, if you want, do a part 2! I'd love to see your content blow up!

Never clicked on a video so fast. I love obscure fallout facts.

That Halo 3 ODST music in the intro made me happy

The normal brotherhood elder robes don't disguise you as a brotherhood member, but father Elijah's robes do.

Trivia content makes me happy

Thanks for giving me something to watch while I eat my Raising Cane's

“An exchange of hands” made me think of a fight.

lmao for me the fallout 1 shortcut was always that picture of that guys face. I thought I had a virus ffs 😂

I call the trash can with the hand grenades in it Larry. It doesn’t matter what kind for play through I’m doing, Larry will never be scraped.

FO76 changes the Bottle Cap Currency tidbit. Now the first use of the Bottle Cap as Currency is within a year of the bombs dropping in a resort in WV. Though it was a promotional gimmic, they talk about it being a good call when you visit it 20 years later xD

The *BEST* kind of Fallout facts.

Great video, loved the cameos

10:35 i just got the damn Trpohy Good one Bethesda

Holy shit right off the rip I remember hearing these fucking whispers in goodsprings grave and thought I was losing my mind

Insane frame is crazy underrated

tbh i just always assumed the "handily placed mailbox/trashcan with grenades" trope is more just the game designer's way of saying "hey, it's worth checking even things you'd assume to have nothing useful in them, just in case they do" than a direct reference, a way of teaching the player that scavenging is a core mechanic of the game to replenish ammo and supplies. and putting it in a place the game subtely directs you to makes it stand out and the player more likely to check it.

I feel fooled, because its 16 minutes long... Im In love with this Video btw.

The first thing that comes to mind with the mailbox grenades is when muscle man orders grenades off the internet in regular show. I don't know if that episode was out at the time new vegas was, so maybe not, but it does spring to mind

If you ever do another one of these you just have to get TriangleCity for a part or two. The man lives and breathes fallout facts, development knowledge, lore, and especially cut content...all the cut content.

Since I keep watching your fallout videos I guess I'll subscribe. 😝
