I really liked this first episode! Fallout Season 1 Episode 1 Reaction/Commentary 

As a Fallout fan from ‘97, I think they nailed it. A big, thermonuclear nail. Lucy reading off her resume is ~ to SPECIAL perks from the games.

Don't worry i'm actively already editing the other shows on my channel. Black Sails will be up very soon. Meanwhile, what did you think of Fallout? (:

In fairness to Chet, after 219 years, there's probably not a lot of women in the vault that he isn't cousins with.

As a long time Fallout game player, this show was amazing and can't wait for S2. Not only the nods to the game, but it's just such a smart, well-written show regardless of the world it's in. And in something that seems rare nowadays, a lot of foreshadowing and hints of later plot points/episodes sprinkled throughout the series. "Us cowpokes...we take it as it comes." Relevant when you're with your daughter in a teaching moment, or when you're murdering 3 people.

I loved the opening scene, What a way to start the show.

I liked how Lucy's intro was just like the Fallout 3 character creation, and she even listed her tagged skills. She is basically the setup people picked to maximize xp. In Fallout 4 another build was found to do that by lowering intelligence to 2 and maxing luck, to exploit the Idiot savant perk. I suspect that is Maximus's character build. He should end up quite leveled up, and sort of fall up in life. That is fail missions successfully. He also will get a very high chance to crit, and should be unreasonably lucky. In time with that build you add points to intelligence, but for now, I suspect he is like a 7 year old. Just guessing, but I think I'm right. Could get funny if I'm right, you know if he hasn't put a single point into intelligence since the refrigerator.

I Binged this day of/next day, and I kind of regret doing it cause now I'm just watching reactors watch it cause I don't wanna leave this worlddd. I jumped back into the games too as many others did cause it's been so long and honestly playing the old games, they hold up great story and even gameplay wise (shooting and combat in the older ones are a bit jarring but what can you do) I know you're going to love this show!!!

Fantastic, natural-feeling reaction! Felt like i was just sitting on the couch, watching the episode with a friend! Looking forward to watching the rest of this PHENOMENAL season with you!

Kyle Hill just did a video on the thumb thing, and it's not accurate at all. You can be standing much closer to the blast and still be safe. But it served the show so amazingly well. The actress playing the daughter just fuckin sold the horror. Some of the best child acting I've ever seen.

Every bunker was in effect an experiment. All the different bunkers had their own quirks to see how the vault dwellers would react to it.

As far as I know, the human thumb is not considered an official measurer of a nuclear blast's dangerousness.

So glad you enjoyed the first episode. This is going to be fun! 😁👍

I’m sure others have mentioned this, but this isn’t based on a specific game; it’s an original story set in the Fallout universe. And it includes some things that aren’t part of the games.

As a long time fan of the franchise I do feel they nailed the spirit of the games, unlike so many shows in recent years that utterly miss the mark. Enough that I had a blast watching the whole series and look forward to season 2. There is plenty I could nit pick and criticize if in the mood, but I'm happy with the show overall enough to dive into as many reacts to it as I can to watch others enjoy it too. This is 1st time on your channel so glad I found it through the show!

Youre watching Fallout too?!? Cant wait for all your reactions on this!

FINALLY someone who pauses when they have something lengthy to say. People who talk over shows/films and miss crucial stuff is my biggest pet peeve. Instant Subscriber.

This is my first watch of your channel. and I’m immediately impressed that you stop the film when you’re commenting so you don’t miss anything.

Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. So yes it is true. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). During the Cold War, the USSR was planning to open the war by dropping 600+ merely on my little Denmark. The game is set in an alternative timeline, where the transistor was never invented, so everything used vacuum-tubes like early computers. And thus the timeline starts diverging from ours in the year after WW2, and progress is generally much slower. But there is also no Cuban Missile Crisis, Long Island, etc, and no reckoning with its past, so the US carries on in a sort of Truman-Eisenhower Superamerica with nuclear powered cars, etc. But in the 21st century fossil fuels and other resources starts running out, and The Resource Wars starts; where Europe, Africa and The Middle East is torn apart, and China invades Alaska to get the last remaining oil resource on the planet. And in 2077... Boom. And oh yea, the US turns authoritarian semi-Fascist, a bit like Starship Troopers. Anyway, think of the game and series as set in a sort of retro-futuristic post apocalypse, IE a future as imagined in the fifties, but then add a nuclear exchange of superpowers. In the games you find all those tragic and dark stories as you explore the Wasteland, the series show them, but both do a very good job of what good SciFi should; holding up a dark mirror to humanity- and with Fallout it is really dark.

“Is that true ? Do they really say that?” 😂 Bruh

This show is GREAT.

My friend and I binge watched this whole show and we absolutely loved it! And it got me into the games! Fallout 4 is my very first Fallout game ever, and im addicted!

One thing I really liked about fallout seventy six Is the beautiful west virginia countryside mixed up with all the devastation

I think you could do a Moldaver cosplay really well :)

The Holding your thumb up to see if you are a safe distance from a nuclear blast is not true, Kyle Hill did a Video about it.

I don't know how much of the show you've seen so far, but this show is not really an adaptation from any of the games. It is its own story however the writers faithfully stuck with story references pulled from the games while injecting their own main characters. It made this show unique and probably why it succeeded. Also, this is the only instance in the Fallout world, that I know of, where there are three interconnected vaults, and the introduction that ghouls need to ingest or inhale some chemical to keep from going feral is totally new. Hank, "I think I know who you are." Moldaver, "Everybody knows who I am." The audience, "We don't know!"

Fallout 3 and New Vegas got great stories you should check them out 👍

Great vid

The trick is to hold your thumb close to your eye.

True

32:04 "It's controversial that they made Lucy" Whut?

My understanding is that the story is written just for the show. It doesn't follow the story in the games. It's a brand new story that's set in the world of the games, so you have the same factions etc, but not the same characters.

Wow! I'm really impressed. The only person I saw previewing this specific thing. (Spoiler) maximus friend, the guy really hurt himself

I hope you play Fallout 4. It's my favorite of the series, but everyone has their own . . .

I love Fallout. I've played since Fallout 2. Alot of people will shit on 76, but it is just a different type of game. It is like what ESO is to the Elder Scrolls(Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) which is also made by the same studio.

The pickles are fine, put them in a new barrel of brine, and they're good to go :) Dane is a female who uses they/them pronouns. The cleric refers to them that way during the conversation.

you need to play fallout 4

The Halo TV show is not to bad so long as you go in understanding that it is simply based on the whole Halo lore and that the writers intentionally set it in an alternate universe so they could write something familiar yet new and not simply retell the same story, That said season 1 has its moments where it is good but then it overwhelmingly has the what where they thinking moments, season 2 was so much better as they pushed back to the lore and core story and swept most of the season 1 mess under a carpet, the biggest down fall of the Halo show was the Halo fans that wanted a 1 to 1 recreation of the first game with 100% constant action like the game which in film format would never work. Still you should watch it if you wish to

2:26 no it is a satirical jab at the "duck and cover" propaganda from the Cold War. Basically it was just a tool to make the masses feel safer. It has been a fan theory for a long time that the Vault Boy (the mascot of Fallout) depicts exactly this but it was debunked - originally the smirk and thumbs up just was supposed to be ironic because of the post apocalyptic setting. No matter how big the explosion is you should go to safety instead of wasting time on giving a thumbs up .

The vaults didn't get the best .. they got the richest

Like you..but not fan of the Fall Out Logo Shading.. Check Out more seasoned reactors for ideas...😎

I got bored on episode 2

Fallout 76 is the least "Fallout" of the series. Every other Fallout game leans much more on a fleshed out story, and you get to experience life living in the vaults early in those games. So this show is more like the other games than Fallout 76.

Still did not watch this so im just gonna leave a like. Did not enjoyed the game honestly but heard only good things about the show

😭Stop Pausing!

fallout 76 is the absolutely worst fallout by a megaton :( after 200 years the genetic pool of unrelated partners can get small xD nothing wrong with cousin stuff if there's no .. product. yes... different vaults were very different. check the wiki after you finish the show 👍actually, you don't need to wait. since knowing more doesn't distract. this is "fallout 5" so knowing the stories of previous fallouts doesn't change much, this is a new story, which was a very good decision. no, that's not who went to the vaults ;) again, check the wiki after you finish the show. the show doesn't talk about it, the games do, in detail. the details in the show are amazing, it's one of the things that makes it perfect. they also hit the "fallout" tone perfectly, and the writing is solid, too. baby leg; check Junk Jet oh, imho, do not watch the teasers. just go into next episode. but that's just me. source: played all the games, except F76 ;)

Do not bother with Halo. It is complete garbage

Fallout 3 is a little outdated. It looks not as good as fallout 4. But its great, my first open world game and it will allways have a special place in my heart. Fallout new vegas could be a masterpiece but obsidian had to release the game quickly and unfortunately a lot of things weren't implemented the way they wanted. but still has the best story. Fallout 4 was a disappointment for me. Yes, I have over 500 hours in it, it is perfect in some aspects and then it has stupid mistakes. Oh, just wasted potential wherever you look. I love and hate it. Fallout 76 is ok i guess. Its just not like the other games.
