For whatever reason when i discovered the UFO at the farmstead the Aliens didnt even become hostile. They just stood there a stared at me and it felt so fucking weird LOL
Seeing those credits made me realize the cut “drunk” npcs around Freeside who would have dialogue that is just drunk ramblings was a reference to the wild wasteland credits. One of them says something similar to the line about not being a drunk because they had a strong grip on the floor
Fun fact, 16:55 if you don't have Wild Wasteland, at this same area will be a group of mercs. One of them will be carrying the unique Gauss rifle YCS/186. Unfortunately, I never not take Wild Wasteland so I never get this cool rifle : (
if you use the auto doc in the sink in old world blues you can change your traits. so if you grab YCS/186 before you play old world blues and then take the wild wasteland trait you can have both
its pretty OP so if your gonna do a Energy weapons build theres your chance as its a pretty strong weapon, its actually easier to get than the noraml gauss rifle and can be obtained pretty easily, you just need like 1-3 plasma grenades and a stealthboy
@@attorneyvevo actually you can't, despite what you might think completing one encounter also "completes" the other if you obtain one, changing Traits at The Sink's Autodoc won't make the other spawn without commands, it's only one or the other
Funny enough they made the same "Using a fridge to survive a nuke" joke a second time in fallout 4, in which you get a quest to rescue a ghoulified kid who jumped into a fridge to survived the bombs. He was lucky he only turned into a ghoul, and he was double lucky that his parents survived the bombs as ghouls too.
The only reason I get Wild Wasteland is because of that Alien Blaster. My favorite Fallout weapon, hoping I can find a replica that I can display. But all the Old World Blues references are fun too.
@@TheChosenMoose01 I know, the YCS/186. But I prefer my blaster. Especially in New Vegas where an ammo hotkey glitch is available so I can use it forever. 😁👽

One fun fact about the Futurama episode: it's based on the real life story of Buchiko, a dog who would wait for his owner to show up at the train station everyday, before said owner would pass, and he remained there waiting for him. There's a statue of the two in Shibuya
all the cult movie references make me so happy. monty python, and princess bride are my childhood movies, and still my favorites of all time. it's so good to see references in an apocalypse game.
to add to the ROKIT 88 reference for those who don't know the song or cars, the song Rocket 88 was about the Oldsmobile 88, which is considered the first muscle car
Kilroy was a quality control inspector at the Beth Steel Fore River shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. He would just write 'kilroy was here' and sometimes draw a little guy to let people know that the area of the ship had been inspected. Because of the nature of that job, people would find 'Kilroy was here' in strange, hard to access, infrequently trafficked spaces aboard vessels. If you were stationed to a different ship, even, there was a good chance there was a 'killroy' somewhere on board. So guys just got carried away! They found it obscure and amusing, so they'd write it on any old thing! It doesn't matter if you're the first white man to step foot on a pacific island- somehow, kilroy had already been there! It's SUCH a powerful meme that on the official WW2 memorial in Washington D.C., there's a tiny 'kilroy was here' dude intentionally etched into the concrete in a hidden area. People have petitioned to have the graffiti removed, but they just don't understand the story!
In Old World Blues, at the artillery site, according to the wiki there's a garbled intercom that says "... and then explode and die." This is a reference to the movie "Serenity", however I never managed to hear it and nobody here made a clip of it... Maybe it's bugged like Cass's interaction with a king?
Obsidian really loved their pop culture references. So many references in one game and its four DLCs. Discovering these while playing the game was always a fun and funny experience. Amazing video showing off all the Wild Wasteland encounters in New Vegas.
The fridge would probably be like an oven once the thermal pulse from the explosion so poor Indy would be cooked like a turkey. I understand that a refrigerator is made to keep heat out, but I'm certain that they have a limit.
And *this* reference is actually a reference to this obscure movie which was a parody of this other obscure movie, not the popular one with the same name. Incredible video, will watch again sometime soon
There's a wild wasteland event that show's up at the train tracks near Nipton, I've yet to discover what triggers the event...but I will make an update once I make the discovery
The ROUS reference is one of my favorites simply because my grandfather introduced me to the Princess Bride. Fantastic movie if you ever wanna watch it!
18:00 i'm glad you mentioned it. back then, most popular music was openly sung, written, and composed by all different people (as opposed to today where the credits are just buried). so for an even funner fact, elvis didn't write anything at all as a matter of fact. neither did big mama thornton for that matter, that song was written by jerry leiber and mike stoller and they directed her on how they imagined it sung whilst in the studio. And thornton recieved one $500 check over the course of her life, never receiving proper compensation or recognition for her contribution.
I myself happen to be a weird wasteland encounter. You'll hear stories and some dark corners of certain settlements of a wastelander who doesn't talk much. But you know he's coming because you'll hear his radio first softly then growing louder. By the time you can understand the song that's playing it's too late. You're probably already dead or about to be shortly. The only time I ever turn the radio off in a fallout game is when it's required by the mission😅 I even stealth with the radio on
Now I could be wrong but I believe the story behind Kilroy There was a dude who manufactured assembled or repaired vehicles during world war II and when you would tighten something up you would leave a mark so that if it failed they would know who to go to. They know exactly who did it Some people were changing or erasing the small marks people were leaving behind and so he made that little drawing and wrote. Kilroy was here so that it wouldn't be possible for someone to alter or change it and because he happened to work on so many different things, tons of people came across these on the vehicles they came in contact with and it spread from there
25:23 Dude when i first played this that damned skeleton scared me to the point where i blew all of my miniguns ammo on it and never one walked through that dlc without the piplight
Fun Fact! Indiana Jones could've survived the nuclear blast from within that fridge. However, he would have been trapped inside as there would be no way for him to reopen it.
Shamus as shorthand for a detective is because first Irish people were often criminals or ar least arrested. (Same as Patty Wagon). Later they turned it around by many of them becoming police.
I don't mess with chems. Never really needed them. I've used them a few times each just to see their efx, or most recently, to show my oldest who's starting his own adventure for the first time.
also a live action movie fist of the north star with Malcolm Mcdowell and Chris Penn, also the Nintendo game in 1989, you forgot one a big one at the hoover dam battle a huge cannon aiming into the sky and has a chair for the operator looks just like the Space Jockey aka engineer from Alien with Sigourney Weaver, im surprised you left that one out.
I got a wild wasteland in dead money where when I looked at a certain stain on a wall at the right angle it looked like a badger/mole?? Did anyone else find that?? It triggered the wild wasteland for me but I’ve never seen anything else about it when I googled it.
I wish this perk was subsidized throughout the newer games like fallout 3-4-76. Because this perk is mostly just fun references and bizarre loot you can find. Also unlike most starter perks, this one has no downsides at all.
If you snipe just the commander and kill him before going up and initiating combat all others become passive and will not attack upon walking up only the commander is instantly hostile and all others simply follow suite seen it done on another vid. (Can’t remember by who srry)
I only ever pick this perk out of curiousity, but now that ive watched this, ill never select this perk again. Pointless for me, these are all references that flew completely over my head (seems more geared to 70s or 80s babies, im a 90s baby). Plus a lot of times the stuff that they substitute out, id rather have what they put there originally. Like the gauss rifle over the alien blaster.
