The "please remain calm" is there, because the turrets can't hit moving targets. Pretty game accurate.

The turret being extremely ineffective is a huge reference from the game.

The "Vault-Tec Plan D" being described as "the most humane product Vault-Tec ever made" should tell you everything you need to know about Vault-Tec.

I love that little detail of the ghoul eating food to restore health while he's in the middle of a gun fight, just like in the game lol!

There’s so many obvious and subtle video game reference to all 7 fallout titles. This show is a gift to someone who’s been playing the franchise for 25 years. Great Khans, weapons, sounds effects… so many

One detail a friend pointed out that I didn't notice. Its called 'Filly' because its a Land-fill.

The dichotomy of these reactions lmao. Calvin with the poker face in every gore, action and needle scene while Aaron going crazy over everything. I love this duo

The second I saw the needle and shot in the beginning of the episode I knew I had to see Aaron's reaction LOL

"She steals dads" never fails to get a laugh.

My wife's a huge Fallout fan, so it's fun watching this along with her and seeing her enjoy all the references (and enduring a n00b's questions).

24:21 a lot of reactors don’t notice when he says “the most humane thing vault Tec ever made” and that’s like honestly the darkest piece of info we could have ever received, meaning even the “good vaults” still had horrible purposes

This is the first time in the many times watching this I noticed that Maximus's pistol gets hit before he starts fumbling it and loses it in the fight with the ghoul. So the ghoul actually shot it, it wasn't just Maximus being a dumbass with a gun lol

"That turret is not very effective." - also every Fallout 4 player ever

20:15 - He didn’t miss-shoot. There is a bullet hit before it turns sideways. The Ghoul shot it just right to cause it to shoot the wrong way and then be unusable. 😊

2:36 im actually crying from laughing so hard at Aaron and needle in the neck 😂

The scene with Maximus saving the dude that was fucking the chickens is so Fallout it's great. It's exactly the kind of situation you'd run into in the game, making an immediate decision without any prior information. Loved it. Also I'm pretty sure the 'bear' was a Yao gui.

What they did with Michael Emerson had to be intentional. 1- The episode was directed by Jonathan Nolan. 2- He was a scientist which is close to a software genius. 3- Had a German Shepperd as a companion. 4- Suffers an injury that results in him having a limp. That was just Harold Finch from Person of Interest. Would have loved to see more of him, but what a performance.

With regard to to the technology of the Fallout world, the big divergence point is that semiconductors were never invented in the 20th century. Which led to a divergent timeline. In the Fallout world, semiconductors were only just starting to come out before the bombs dropped in 2077.

I love the implication that the Ghoul exhausted all of his VATS points on the townspeople, which was why he couldn’t do anything against Maximus in his armor 😂

Back in the last episode,one of the guys who dug up the ghoul was using a rock-it launcher. A unique weapon from Fallout 3 that uses all the random shit you find as ammo. Old books,mugs,garden gnomes,empty bottles,you name it. Just one of the many fun references.

I think this might be a bigger challenge for Aaron than Trainspotting was.

Michael Emerson worked with show runner Jonathan Nolan on a great show called Person Of Interest a decade ago, he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him. And for Fallout he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him.🤣🤣🤣 Seriously I would love to see these guys react to POI. It’s perfect for them.

The "bear" it was called Yao Guai I think ;) and it was awesome to see it on silver screen :)

I love the pace that this show doles out information. It answers some questions, teases others, and makes you wait for the big ones.

Everyone thinks maximus drops his gun accidentally but if you look, the ghoul actually shoots it out of his hand which is a thing you can do in the games, you're able to target separate limbs and even grenades flying midair

It sucks that we don't get to see Eric enjoy this fantastic series, but I'm so excited to see Aaron and Calvin's reaction to all the gore!

I cannot believe Eric is not here for this series.

i sure was hoping Eric would join y'all.

20:14 the ghoul shot the gun out of his hand and he ended up fumbling it

The reason that the scientist knew all those things about her vault and her name is because the enclave keeps tabs on all the vaults,their experiments, and what goes on in them.

I just now realized as the character was dying 😅 Thats the actor, Michael Emerson who played Ben from LOST. Holy shit Awesome Never seen or played Fallout but very intriguing and loving these reactions. Aaron's needle phobia and panic always makes me chuckle NOT THE HEAD RESTS of the chair. Save the chairs 😂😂

The bear scene with Titus reminds me so much of Cliff from Doom Patrol lol

Wilzig was from the Enclave. Which is basically what the U.S. government turned into after the war. So wilzig probably knew about the vaults because vault tec was funded by the government.

6th day shoutout! That movie was on TBS/TNT every frikin weekend when I was a kid in the 2000s. Great stuff

The bullets in the expanse are those rocket type bullets, because they have next to no recoil, though there are some old fashioned 'slug throwers' in it.

Lmao the difference in y'alls reaction to the intro Calvin, Fallout Pro: Yea, that checks out. Aaron, Fallout Noob : *"Whaaaat the fuuuuck?!?!"*

Man, you guys should really have the full group for this show, it's worth it

Eric not being here is criminal!!!

Get Eric to watch this too

22:07 Yup, getting caught on some errant polygons 😅 True to form

I still think it's sad we don't get to see Eric react to this show. But I can't blame him if he's in a situation or something.

I've rewinded the reaction to the "aunt" comment, so many times. What a great wheeze! 😂

I wish Eric would watch this

I know i've heard some people complain about the comedy and the dialogue the some of the characters but as a vet Fallout player I say the dialog is spot on!

The dog's name was CX-404, as in Canine eXperiment Not Found.

Can we just appreciate the absolute great gore in this series? Incredible well made

The Ghoul is definitely packing endgame legendary weapons with explosive rounds. He's the player after you beat the game. Lucy is the brand new noob player and I think maximus might be the idiot savant character you play for laughs on your fourth playthrough.

For those who recognize Titus but can't place his actor, he was played by comedian Michael Rapaport.

The chainsaw hand tool she use to cut off the head is actually called a Ripper 😂

Jonathan Nolan keeping his Person of Interest ties is so cool 😎

Some things more: 1. The Goul fight in the town was just like V.A.T.S in the game. 2. Wilzig is from Anclave (Brotherhood scribe said that). Not just a random scientist. 3. That Filly town is so similar to the Fallout 4 one with the bomb i almost cried. The Ghoul bombed my shed there. I remember byuing it. Even the bar and traders are like the same as in game.

That was an underrated Steve Zahn impression for sure lol

39:30 - The one with "Satan" is "End of Days" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Byrne. The "6th Day" is about Cloning. "The Eraser" is about some HighEnergy weapons.

One filming mistake they left in, where Cooper is reloading behind the cart and that guy with a hole in his neck slumps to his right, Cooper has a round in his hand taken from his bandelier and you can see him just rubbing it against the side of his gun because the rounds are actually too big to fit in the gun's chamber.

The Ghoul's gun prop is based on revolving shotgun that's normally in .410 gauge. There are several companies that have a version in production, including Turkish manufactured. A REV410 is pretty close example before modifications.

@2:42 - LOOOL aaron and the head rest is the traumatic saga i am here for

I like your reactions. You are both so smart and guessed a lot about the plot lines. Plus, the knowledge about the game just like mine.

27:04 of any one wants to learn more about the gyro jet Brandon Herrera (the AK guy) and Ian (forgotten weapons) both have excellent videos about it. Brandon actually owns one and showed him firing it, Ian talks more about the creation of the weapon it's commercial failure and it's impact on weapon manufacturers today

Aaron got both headrests this time ! Nice. My prediction of the whole room coming down by the end still stands.

The short explanation of the aesthetic of the Fallout world is that in this alternate timeline Microprocessors were never invented so instead of technically focusing on computing it stayed on the 1950s nuclear style. It was such a popular thing that eventually even cars are nuclear powered. The date the bombs dropped was October 23, 2077, since this takes place 219 years later the year is actually 2296. This show takes place 9 years after the events of Fallout 4.

The scientist is part of the Enclave, who have info on all vaults, and even have network access to some.

21:40 Did you rip my headrest off to? 😂

That encounter with water filter guy was so funny :)

The Music in this episode is Chefs Kiss! Anyway, Walton Goggins killed it as the Ghoul! Fantastic reaction Wave Crew!

I haven't played the games much, but I do really like the optics of the show. When the girl and the scientist were sitting in the dessert at the end and they showed the old donut shop, it looked 100% like the Fallout Wasteland.

I've only played two of the Fallout games, but I'm absolutely charmed (er, if charmed is the right word for something so gory) by the series so far (we only watched episode 2 as well). I love the dichotomies; the chipper 50s aesthetic and the dark, twisted secrets, the peppy music and the mayhem. And most of all, I love Lucy's "Okey dokey!" It always makes me laugh. It especially makes me laugh that my sister makes the exact same horrified faces Lucy does every time she's faced with something horrible. So many references to the games; I really to love it.

Where th is Eric? Seeing his trailer reaction to this series makes me think he wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Aaron's range of emotions from 1:35 to 1:40 😂😂😂

Okay Aaron's reactions to the neck and needle shot was hilarious 🤣

The camera focus really liked your hands this episode

Damn, Calvin's Rocinante hoodie is so great I went and found it online and bought it.

actually lol'ing at aaron ripping the headrests off the chairs

Knight titus turned on his quest waypoint marker, only way he was so close to the proffesor so quick!

It amazes me all the cameos they have for this show. Enjoy!

I'm really glad these guys are enjoying it! You don't need to understand the games to be able to follow the story, but it definitely enhances the hype when you understand the major players. There's usually been this unspoken barrier between the East and West coast locations, where the East coast games are made by the current holders of the IP - Bethesda, and the West coast games are made by the original creators - Interplay (later rebranded Obsidian). But if you understand the previous events of the games, you might realize the magnitude of these events in the show, as the bulk of the Brotherhood of Steel's forces in this show are brought over on the large airship called "The Prydwen" (There was a Vanity Fair article last year that falsely listed it as the "Caswennan" that has caused a lot of confusion in the community, but some shots in the tv show clearly have it printed on the side), this was the mobile command center built by the detachment of the Brotherhood that was originally sent into Washington D.C. for Bethesda's first entry, Fallout 3. Along with this detachment, they sent a child named Arthur Maxson - the last descendant of the Brotherhood's original founder: Roger Maxson, whose bloodline and name are treated with the highest respect. At the age of 16, he was appointed Elder of the East coast chapter, and under his leadership they constructed the Prydwen airship and took it to Boston 10 years later in Fallout 4, established the Brotherhood as a major power in 2 Eastern cities, and has now moved back home to the West coast in the t.v. series. To me this feels like the hype that was built up when Daenarys finally sailed to Westeros in Game of Thrones, but it's taking place as the B plot to an unrelated main quest for Lucy lol.

The term Aaron is looking for is "retro future". The whole genre of "what we thought the future would be like during X era". The Jetsons are a good example. Steampunk is another. That whole "world of tomorrow", where we can somewhat imagine the tech advances, but culturally things are more stuck in place since it's a lot harder to grasp just how those things will shift.

just finished the series other day really good series fr goggins killed it

14:09 The guy with the mask is reading Moira Brown's Wasteland Survival Guide.

If anyone wants to see the Gyro-Jet in action and recorded in slow-mo, Brandon Hererra made a video on it just a few days ago

New Vegas is where I know the last song from that stuff is replayed all the time in that one lol😂

His pistol probably has the Explosive legendary effect.

I’m half way through n loving it so far… wish they used the theme more in the soundtrack though

and noticing jon nolan as the director thats badass having a nolan director mannnn hell yeah

3:51 I feel like putting "Please remain calm" on a turret is more of a Portal joke than a Fallout joke. Then again please remain calm while the world burns IS the entire joke of the Vault Boy imagery so what do i know.

Aaron reacting to that injection scene is me🤣 Then, Calvin only realising that he threw the top of his armchair off 20mins later🤣

I wonder what CRAM would be. Crunchy Ham? Crushed Ham? Cranberry Ham? Cockroach Ham?

Maximus out here getting a super lucky critical on that Yao Gaui using just a 10mm pistol

The Battle at the boat dock was Eraser and the one about satan was End of Days. Eraser deserves a rewatch because of the macguffin. Plans for a Rail Gun.

You don't see it in the game but the Strong back perk shows it but but your character has a big bag that all your loot goes in and your pip-boy just keep track of your inventory

Loved your reaction as always💗 You should check out society of the snow, i would love to hear what you have to say about that one

Shots out to Ben Linus / Zepp / Micheal Emerson for looking EXACTLY THE SAME as he did 20 years ago

Michael Rappaport was Titus. The power armor guy.

VATS is shown in such a cool way in this episode

Titus is my favorite Cameo

"No matter how much sand I put in it I just get more sand" is my favourite line so far

If I am not mistaken, the timeline of a Fallout is alternate because they discovered nuclear fission AND nuclear fusion when working on the Manhatten Project. Nuclear Fusion allows us to use nuclear power much more efficiently than any type fuel so we never invented transistors, which are the foundation of almost all modern technology.

The term your looking for in your intro is "Retrofuture"

the aunt probable turned into a ghoul

It was John Rapaport
