[SPEAKER_03]: Robots radio, games, lore, stories, community, just press play.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the Fallout lore cast.
[SPEAKER_03]: The podcast that explores the boundaries of our knowledge about the world of Fallout.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wastelanders and Valtweller's welcome back to the Fallout lore cast.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is time for our patron chat for the end of the month and one of the things that we notice about Fallout because it is so popular is that it shows up all the time in other forms of media, other games, movies, other sorts of things, heck, they even make nuka colabottles that you can buy at the store, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Followed everywhere and pumpkin this week suggested we talk about all of these other places where follow-up shows up and so that's what we're doing everybody's Gonna bring their own references and we're gonna discuss this a little bit and joining me this week We have cat pat and pumpkin void little green and Bracchio dreamer ash welcome everybody so glad to have you back on the show and This I already know from the pre chat.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is why you should come hang out with us in the live stream
[SPEAKER_03]: This is going to be a wacky episode, but Pumpkin, you're going to kick us off.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're actually at your house today, this is so it's so cool to see you in your little home studio thing going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not only I'm so I'm super excited to be at home to do this especially with this because my old setup.
[SPEAKER_01]: was my bed.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm actually at a desk this time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're like a real podcaster at a desk with a phone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it phones.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, microphone, all of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, but to get on with it, uh, I, I love the, I kind of saw this had this idea with me, the, of the,
[SPEAKER_01]: going from the fall outside of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: When me and Jeremy did, whatever, let's talk about the fallout Minecraft, mash it pack.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So for people to understand, you do the show, Tism talks with Jeremy with Void.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this was a topic you've already covered on that show, but you want to share some of the things that you've learned with us, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so the map it's not a small map.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some like it's a huge map and there's a ton of different like aspects from the first you follow games and follow three and follow four sadly new Vegas and 76 don't have locations in the map
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so is this a is this an official Bethesda made thing for no, it's a is a mojang made thing, but it was made with the permissions of the Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's Jeremy's looking at us.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was gave the partnership between mojang and Bethesda
[SPEAKER_01]: and with as the helped build the assets right and that also makes sense now because both of those companies are owned by Microsoft so I guess that there's some things actually this is long before Microsoft acquired them this was like back when fallout for released oh interesting yeah yeah but we when there's so many different locations like one of our favorite ones that we found was the
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Star Trek, the US has constitution.
[SPEAKER_03]: They added Star Trek into the fallout into Minecraft.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's multiple layers.
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched the Star Trek video earlier, so my brain had that on the mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: The constitution.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the giant ship that flies off into the distance, flying from one bank into the same branch of the bank.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and like it's got that, it's got sanctuary.
[SPEAKER_01]: You spawn is at the red rocket from fall out for the first one that you find.
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, there's locations from like one in two, like the cathedral and vault city.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's even the random encounter from, I think it's, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's two because it's the portal where it sends you back to vault 13 and you break the water chip.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you don't end up in vault 13.
[SPEAKER_01]: It just sends you to the nether.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so that's very Minecrafty.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Megaton was in there and Megaton was extremely detailed really and it's like the, oh, yeah, they're a most of the stuff was extremely detailed except they were just kind of empty Except for the except for the Citadel where there was a very janky looking liberty pride
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, do they also have like gear, like armor or skin, so it is not just the mash-a-pack.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a texture pack.
[SPEAKER_01]: Each one of the Minecraft mobs also looks like a thing from the Fallout series.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, like certain villagers, they'll either look human or they'll look like a protectron.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, um, but my favorite one, I think we discovered there's two that we found.
[SPEAKER_01]: One was the enderman, which is the, which they're designed to look like the, the Zatons from the policy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's this kind of alien.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: The only new vagus thing referenced was the ender dragon and it's horrifying.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the, it was their one more Jeremy, because it was, what I'm saying was, God, don't have with the ender dragon.
[SPEAKER_01]: The ender dragon is a giant cast to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, geez.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a fun reference.
[SPEAKER_04]: The only other new Vegas reference that we found was the new sniffer mobs were big rides.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, forgot about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is one thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I have some of the questions here because that's a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: And also, I mean, he's joining us.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome, welcome, welcome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome, welcome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pumpkin's talking about the Minecraft edition, or I guess it's, I don't know what's called.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a whole mashup pack.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a mashup pack.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'll fall out and we're discussing just generally fall out in other places, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: So, okay, so it's Minecraft.
[SPEAKER_03]: You've got, do you have like villagers walking around and like locations or all of them?
[SPEAKER_01]: Not all of them, just like a couple of them like Megaton and Oddly enough Sanctuary, which was a little in to me that was a little strange.
[SPEAKER_01]: I get that it's can be a
[SPEAKER_01]: like a compound, but like, you know, it doesn't start like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was a little, not peeps, but it was a little strange.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you've got to make some adjustments to kind of make it work and and make it fun to play with.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that makes sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do any of you guys have questions about this because like I've seen it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never tried it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't play a ton of Minecraft.
[SPEAKER_03]: Although I've dabbled in Minecraft.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anybody else have any questions about these?
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's open this up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ash or CAD pad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have any of you guys played this?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm seeing a lot of shaking heads.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, so it's cool, like I like the idea of being able to play in a game like Minecraft, which is so flexible in a way that is like another game, but isn't exactly the other game, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess in my experience it always feels like you kind of want it to go even further, you know, like clearly it's Minecraft, so you're not going to come across a quest line that sends you off on some sort of mission or something, but that would be really cool too, unless I'm wrong,
[SPEAKER_01]: It's what's happening on this map not on the map the map pack because again, it is an older map pack so we don't exact.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not exactly, but it wouldn't surprise if they if you ever got updated, which again, if you're listening to you guys, I want I would love an updated that map.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Void, Void, you guys don't want me on it, okay, but I'm pretty sure that it's been in the works for a number of years, but there will be, there is a mod pack and a one-to-one replica map of Fallout 4.
[SPEAKER_04]: that you can basically with the mod pack and the map, you can pretty much play Fallout 4 in Minecraft.
[SPEAKER_04]: Quest 1 to all.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that like monitors are making?
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a monster mod.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a full mod, so there's a guy on TikTok who's covering the journey of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a really powerful power armor and everything going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that sounds great because I've seen where people have done things like the build all of middle earth in Minecraft or whatever, but then a lot of it just ends up I mean that's massive that's awesome or like all of New York City, you know, but then at the same time, it's like it's empty until you put a bunch of people in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's really cool to walk around like once or twice and look at it all, but then at some point it's like what else do you do?
[SPEAKER_03]: So being able to like play fall out in Minecraft with like similar or at least inspired by mechanics and items and things like that seems like a lot more fun to me So yeah, all right anything else about this one anybody does do any of you guys play Minecraft anymore or have played much
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm seeing.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is.
[SPEAKER_01]: There really.
[SPEAKER_01]: We, Jeremy, actively have a normal, just multi-player going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's still fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's, there's a reason Minecraft did so well.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's part of it is because it's so flexible.
[SPEAKER_03]: So being able to work things like fallout into it, make a lot of sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a retro game.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's still relevant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, is this based on that 15-year definition, there's a few different definitions for retro.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like somebody brought this up the other day and was, oh, it was on retro recall, one of the people who commented on the show, because they know I do an Elder Scrolls lorecast and they're like, hey, so you know Tom Skyrim's a retro game now, because it's 15 years old and I was like,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's been a long time.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get your point.
[SPEAKER_03]: But also, that's just one definition of retro.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I don't know that there's an official definition, but that's a whole another thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, uh, void was gonna go next, but void is either invisible or has gotten up and left.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is seat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Something must have come up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, who would like to go next instead of void?
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll jump to void when void gets back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cat Pat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, you had mentioned in the pre-show that there is a very specific game that you have to mention.
[SPEAKER_03]: Otherwise, you have a brother who, I think you said, would murder you like end your life?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm joking, but yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: The series I'm going to cover is the Metro series, which is near in dear to both my brother and my heart.
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually own all of the books in my
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm interesting, I'm familiar with the games, I didn't realize there was a lot of other stuff out there like books or either of a novels.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they're novels.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're what inspired the games.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I cannot pronounce his last name, but he is a very vocal anti Putin writer Russian writer right because those games take place in Russia post Apocalypse kind of setting which feels very similar to fall out in number of ways.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but it goes into
[SPEAKER_02]: Follow it's more cartoony, whereas Metro is more.
[SPEAKER_02]: the utilized deck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, follow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, follow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Followed has like comedic breaks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the comedy breaks the tension, even when it gets really dark.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are times where the things are broken by funny things.
[SPEAKER_03]: It has a variety of different tones.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whereas to your point, Metro has is like dark and ominous and like it just gets worse and darker from there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like it's the start of the thing that's just always feels depressing and rough from the start.
[SPEAKER_02]: The safest and happiest artime ever was was in his original freaking Metro station.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, before he went out on that adventure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So what is the reference?
[SPEAKER_03]: What is the fallout reference in the games?
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's a few with the main one being from the most recent release game, not
[SPEAKER_02]: counting the VR1 but Metro access.
[SPEAKER_02]: They reference Liberty Prime.
[SPEAKER_02]: So minor spoilers for a really good game.
[SPEAKER_02]: after leaving Moscow, you're in this area called the Volga, and one of the characters gets hurt, and there's an American character named Sam.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Russian characters are asking Sam how they'll know when they reach a NATO checkpoint or base, and he responds, first of all, there are these huge humanoid robots, all plastered with stars and stripes, with nuclear reactors up their asses.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there are also more minor references as well, the thing from the first Metro game, which is a lush amalgamation that you fight in one of the bunkers as kind of a penultimate boss.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that gets its inspiration from the master because it's just a pile of flesh with
[SPEAKER_02]: random limbs.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like a tumor with the air.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it connected to like computer hardware kind of like the master is?
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of the area of D sticks just has a whole bunch of like comms equipment and stuff like that running through it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the flashes eventually going meld with the deck.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So he said the Liberty Prime reference was that just a general robot reference like they were saying or what was their something that was very
[SPEAKER_02]: With I think it was the nuclear reactors of their asses was the main thing that Okay, most people off to okay it being like I'm nuclear powered robots.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah got it got it Yeah, and there's a small reference with the ghouls The humanimals are basically just our retextured ghoul so they're kind of the ghoulish ghoul like yeah only the main differences they hunt and pack
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm pulling up a picture right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are very ghoully like in that.
[SPEAKER_03]: So ghouls are very similar to zombies, but they're kind of their own thing and these look like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: The same way that like when you fight a ghoul, you come across a ghoul, they're kind of mischaping in the Fallout games.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they've kind of got that quality, but they like you can tell they used to be humans at some point, because they're somehow still wearing something, some semblance of pants for ratings reasons, probably.
[SPEAKER_03]: But
[SPEAKER_03]: And that raises the question that I've always wondered, is that every zombie movie, or also fall out, or games like this, that have zombie-like characters, the first thing that would happen when you turn into zombies, your pants would fall down, because your flesh would waste away, and then your belt wouldn't be tight enough, so zombies would all be running around with their pants down around their ankles.
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be the first thing that happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, plus all all those zombie things like the walking dead, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: It would be done after like a couple of years due to the amount of decomposition.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, unless there's some sort of magic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure, but like in my mind, it's like, well, they're all decomposing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So how do they keep their pants up?
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not wearing suspenders.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, that's neither here nor there, but let's let's open this up any.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have any of you guys played the Metro games?
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyone familiar with the Metro games?
[SPEAKER_03]: I played at least the first two if I recall it's been a while, it's been a while, um, I don't see any hands.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is another one where like somebody brought something up in the rest of your got like, Pumpkins has a little bit, a little bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pumpkins, did you come across any of the stuff?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember any of it from playing?
[SPEAKER_01]: I made it maybe an hour into the game, so no.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's it's rough like those games at least remember on the first day was the first to the second one or maybe all of them where like your ammo is also your currency.
[SPEAKER_03]: So every time you have to shoot a gun, you're spending money that you won't have later to buy things when you get to the next settlement like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, actually there's a very good quote from the original books.
[SPEAKER_02]: A bullet is a life.
[SPEAKER_02]: A piece of bread costs 15 bullets.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's 15 lives for a piece of bread.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it's because that's what they use because that's the most valuable commodity they have, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, at least the good thing is it's not all of the ammo you can sell.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's only a pretty apocalyptic AK ammo.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so this stuff that does more damage and then the stuff that they make does less damage or something like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: So like when you really need it, you use it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I remember that too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: So any other thoughts on Metro, anything else you want to throw in there before we move back to voids and voids now back?
[SPEAKER_02]: uh, nothing other than it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I highly recommend you will not be disappointed if you're able to go through the game.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you really like dark and sinister and some of the things just keep getting worse as they go kinds of stories.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's even just a good stealth game.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can stealth around.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's some really scary moments that like there's like they're interesting games.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's some good stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, thanks,
[SPEAKER_03]: Good one.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void's back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were going to go next to you, but you'd see you, but you had to get up.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so we had to go to CADPAP.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we're back to you.
[SPEAKER_03]: What, what are you sharing with us?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we apparently have a, an Easter egg in Cyberpunk 2077.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um,
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, if you played cyberpunk 70 27, there's an area on the outskirts of the city called the Badlands.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's basically a desert where nothing much happens out there except nomads and raiders live and trash a ton of trash is not there.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a hole like fields of just trash.
[SPEAKER_04]: the mountains is a better term.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, but so what do you find what what's the fallout thing that you, is it in the first wall?
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it in the trash or is it like in the desert?
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it less trash?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's in the desert area.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And what is it?
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to read the straight from the follow up, fandom wiki, um, if you corpses can be found around a circular dish with 101 on the front, in archived conversation nearby reveals that two of these individuals, Albert Cole and Gary Epps, were in live action role players, LARPERS, who were roleplaying a post-apocalyptic scenario where they leave the safety of bunker 101 for the first time since nuclear war.
[SPEAKER_04]: Albert Cole is a reference to the protagonist,
[SPEAKER_04]: and Gary Eps' reference to the GURP system, the original gameplay system before special.
[SPEAKER_04]: The scenario of LARP, a search for a Hydro processor to supply fresh water to the bunker dwellers, also reflects the storyline of the first fallout, obtaining a water chip for the vault dwellers of Vault 13.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bunker 101 is a reference to Vault 101.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's so interesting that they chose 101 instead of 13, even when there's so many references to the original fallout, and not fallout 3, and I guess they were just kind of mixing it all together in order to make it different kinds of things different people would notice maybe that sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, so did you come across this in the game because I don't remember, I've played a bunch of cyberpunk.
[SPEAKER_03]: I used to do the cyberpunk look as I don't remember running to I didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: In all fairness, I did not investigate every square foot of desert in the padlands while playing a game that you play mostly in the city, but did you come across?
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to say I remember coming across it in like my first play through just like running around out there for no reason.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because that's part of what I do in an open world game.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, like you go around you're like, what's over here?
[SPEAKER_03]: Doesn't look like there's anything, but maybe there's something and then you go look around and then you're like, yeah, it's still nothing until you come across something like this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: This feels very fallouty in the same way that there are references in Fallout games to other things like movies and stuff that you can find in like these, you know, empty locations.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I even fall out one, there's a crash flying saucer in the desert, you know, and that's, that's a little easter egg because there's not a whole lot of alien stuff yet in Fallout 1.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's playing, I owe it a soon back when Fallout 1 came out that was just playing on sci-fi tropes of the time and just this fun little idea and just putting anywhere where this is a direct reference to another IP, but that happens to and fall out.
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, anyway, I just took things sideways on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Any other thoughts on this one, void?
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to go look at it again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Specifically so that I can screenshot it and send it into the fallout Lordcast channel in the Discord, which you can find on the website robotsradio.com.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you for advertising.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll send you your money later.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Any of you the rest of you guys come across this in Cyberpunk.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who played Cyberpunk?
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyone else played Cyberpunk?
[SPEAKER_03]: Pumpkin never, but catpad played Cyberpunk.
[SPEAKER_03]: You never played Cyberpunk?
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys never played?
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember.
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember playing on an Xbox one, like, it was across two disks, this is before the enters update.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this is that's before update 2.0.
[SPEAKER_03]: nothing I have can run it okay well yeah that's fair that's fair yeah it's it's kind of a beefy juiced of a game for sure so all right cool yeah benchmark for a reason yeah yeah and i i don't remember this this is when i'll have to look up and go find it um but good poll void this is a fun one who would like to go next we've got a little green i don't know a little green's kind of hanging out probably ashes here actually want to go
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, although I've got one that's not on the list and then I will talk about one that's on the list because there are three people in my life who will be very upset with me if I do not.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, there's so much murder that will happen if people don't talk about very specific things on this very specific episode of one very specific podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: just on on you, just on on your cow.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, so apparently there is a reference to Corvega in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the original Bloodlines game from like 25 years ago were whatever that was.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'll read the thing from, I'll read the thing from the wiki.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it in Santa Monica Hub?
[SPEAKER_05]: The player can work for all Arthur Kilpatrick and have access to his crying pewter for several quests.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you didn't.
[SPEAKER_05]: Crying pewter, but it's not with a cake.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_05]: on the entry for Michael Muddy Durbin.
[SPEAKER_05]: The player can read that he had put up a Corvega for his bond.
[SPEAKER_05]: The vampire, the masquerade bloodlines was created by a Toyota Games, the studio that Timothy Kane Leonard Boyarsky and Jason D. Anderson funded after leaving Interplay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Tim Kane.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tim Kane is done so much stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's worked with all of these different developers and on so many different projects.
[SPEAKER_03]: Every time something like this comes up and they're like, oh yeah, and this is somehow related to Tim Kane.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, my boyfriend and my two best friends love the Empire of the Masquerade.
[SPEAKER_05]: So if they had found out that that was a reference that I didn't mention it, I would be very upset with me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've seen I've seen the game.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've seen the game be played.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, I've never actually played it myself.
[SPEAKER_03]: I purchased it when it came out and played through at least a number of hours.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was very buggy or launch.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's still very buggy.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is an old game at this point.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, but I know there are monitors out there who have fixed up a lot of a lot of it, but um, but it is a cult classic for reasons, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, it's it's what I've seen of it being played.
[SPEAKER_05]: It does seem a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: And actually, the new season of Dimension 20 on dropout, they're doing a campaign based on that system.
[SPEAKER_05]: Vampire of the Masquerade system.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, cool, cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to catch up on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: It also is very, like if I'm thinking back correctly on the game.
[SPEAKER_03]: And thank you, Nick Sporn in chat says it is completely fixed as of three or four years ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is,
[SPEAKER_03]: The type of game that was very fallout inspired in its time, in that if you play through an RPG like that back then it was a lot about meeting other characters having conversations, figuring things out through the conversations where to go and those conversations and quest lines, the effects of that rippling out to other stuff kind of in a very fallout sort of way.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it is kind of an interesting connection there between like not only the Tim Kain thing, but similar types of games very different settings though.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I just wanted to throw that in case anybody didn't know, but what else do you have Ash?
[SPEAKER_05]: So I have been reading while listening because I do audio books mostly through the dungeon crawler carol series.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am currently on book four Yeah, this is all my list of stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I need I haven't checked this out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm currently on book four and Carl will make like comments and references to various
[SPEAKER_05]: various things throughout his monologues because it's told from his perspective and first person point of view.
[SPEAKER_05]: But recently in book four, he was talking about him having a fight with his girlfriend at the ex girlfriend now, but at the girlfriend at the time where he spent the entire day just finishing fallout.
[SPEAKER_03]: because of the fight, or because the fight was, wait, wait, did the fight happen?
[SPEAKER_03]: And then that was how he recovered.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he spent the day playing full out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, this was actually, he played the game all day, and then she got mad at him for playing games.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, they thought about something else, and then he spent the day finishing fallout.
[SPEAKER_05]: It didn't specify which one, so I'm going to assume the first one because it just said fallout.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was just one line.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, so I haven't checked this out yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: The series is getting a lot of popularity online, people talk about it a lot, and I would imagine that the writer clearly knew who his audience was and that people would get the reference and identify with it, so that's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, it's very, very good series.
[SPEAKER_05]: My dad and I are currently discussing it, though.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is on book eight and I'm just like, oh, isn't it turning into a TV show?
[SPEAKER_05]: Possibly there's talks for a McFarlane, Seth McFarlane to be the executive producer, but there's nothing like super concrete.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, interesting, interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, for any of you out there thinking about doing a podcast, and that gets greenlit as a TV show, you absolutely need to do a podcast about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: For sure, so just throw in that idea out there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so let's open this up a little bit, because we've got a few different things.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anybody have anything they want to chime in with with this ice up pumpkin?
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw you, I saw you getting excited about Carl.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have not read it yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is on my list the series on my list.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I've heard about the series that makes 100% sense that the character would make a reference to fall out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you guys describe what the series is like for anybody who doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Most of our listeners are follow fans and they may not have heard of Dungeoning.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what I've learned about the books from talking to somebody who is who is reading it at like
[SPEAKER_01]: If you, any of you, if for those who don't know, I do work with the school, so I do get to talk to some teachers.
[SPEAKER_01]: And one of my teachers that I talked to was reading the books.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, I, I also like, I've heard of Dungeon Crawl, a carl, but I know nothing about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he goes, oh, you're going to want to sit down.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he goes, and he explains it, he's like, okay, it's the, it's the post apocalypse after an alien invasion.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're making the people that that survived live in Dungeons and Dragons.
[SPEAKER_01]: But in weird there's weird modern things and like I've seen multiple pictures were Carl just for some reason He's got a boost to like something when he's not wearing pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So all the imagery shows him with a pants Yeah, it's totally a thing, I guess.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so he's got like a boost for not wearing pants.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is best friend Is it cat that can like have some weird mentality.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's girlfriend's cat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that is it's extra
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, nice nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't forget about the tiara.
[SPEAKER_03]: What about the tiara?
[SPEAKER_03]: What's the tiara there's it?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know I that I don't know about.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just know there's a huge shit with that spoiler.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I'm not going to bring that up then spoilers spoilers on that one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is Ashley you said you had three things or just three people?
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it's just the just the two.
[SPEAKER_05]: I said I had the one I wasn't on the list and then I would have to talk about one that was on the list.
[SPEAKER_03]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Although
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, if you want me to keep talking, I can talk about the borderlands.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's just go to borderlands too.
[SPEAKER_05]: Borderlands too has a couple of references.
[SPEAKER_05]: when it's, where did it go?
[SPEAKER_05]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's borderlands two.
[SPEAKER_05]: Actually, there's, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: So two of the playable characters, zero and Maya, both have alternate skins that are blue and yellow.
[SPEAKER_05]: One is called vault suit and the other one's called vault dueler.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then there's a reference to three
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a unique gun called 3Dog, but it's only spelled with 1E, and the description is because 1 barrel ain't enough, and 2 is too few, which is the reference to his intro, because 1Dog ain't enough, and 2 is too low, it's me, 3Dog.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I play through Borderlands to Borderlands.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you still the best Borderlands in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Zero is my boy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love zero.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was a massive fraction and calmness to that suit.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we have used that suit and just not it just not catch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this feels kind of vaguely familiar though.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a long time since I played Borderlands 2.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also the Borderlands games You are vault hunters like vaults is a thing It's not the same kind of vaults.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a very different kind of vault.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's more like treasure vaults that kind of thing, but
[SPEAKER_03]: But it is definitely feels kind of post-pocalyptic even though it's this weird space fantasy kind of thing, you know, so it makes sense that the people working on Borderlands would have been fallout fans and you're going to end up with references somewhere.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's very cool, very cool stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anybody else want to talk about Borderlands and connections with this pumpkin?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have borderlands, but there is one I do want to talk about.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: On the list.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll do you next.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, let's just point of order.
[SPEAKER_03]: Low green or main monkey.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you guys have things you want to chime in with.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't have any references off the top of my head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: No worries.
[SPEAKER_03]: Main monkey.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to chime in.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let us know.
[SPEAKER_03]: And anybody want to talk about borderlands before we move on.
[SPEAKER_03]: And not seeing anyone.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pumpkin.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pumpkin sharing another one.
[SPEAKER_03]: When we talk about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this one's a bit more on the funny side.
[SPEAKER_01]: So in the game, high on life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the way this is like the Rick and Morty guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the Rick and Morty guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there is an achievement that just that is called fallout doesn't let you do this.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the the good the whole thing is you shoot a child and then you like afterwards It tell they were like oh no, he's like 35 he just looks like that The entire thing
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah so okay so this is a thing right because like you don't come across children and fall out and then like well no you couldn't run across children and fall like you just cannot I mean I guess there are cases of children that's true but that's true but you can never come and kill them right and you can't kill them and then like but that's the sticks to this too because like skyrim you can't you can't even enter them you can't do anything you can kill
[SPEAKER_01]: I've played a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've actually made it to that point because I get that, that little, that achievement is very early in the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all, it's like within the first like couple of missions.
[SPEAKER_01]: But like the guy, the kid is going you on and will not let you pass until you shoot.
[SPEAKER_01]: These are two of them, it's just like straight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he's the kid's annoying.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like one of the most annoying characters in that game and then it's just an immediate bang.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's dead, but it's like he's not a kid got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this thing that makes it even funnier is the gun which are sentient in high on lights.
[SPEAKER_02]: The gun is I totally against it.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the guys trying to talk you out of it while you do it, that's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a fun little one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's open this up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Any other other ones that you guys want to share.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void has one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll do void and then CADPAT.
[SPEAKER_03]: Void.
[SPEAKER_03]: If I can press the on mute button, that'd be great.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: So for Xbox players that played Fallout 4 or 4s of Motor Sport 6 around April 2016, they were given free Xbox Live codes for a vehicle in Forza called the 269
[SPEAKER_04]: It is, I think, one of two futuristic cars, the other being the Halo Warthog.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are in any of the games?
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and if we would like, I have the stats of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So the rocket 69 is fitted with an atomic V8 engine in producing roughly a thousand horsepower, which allows it to have incredible straight line speed hitting a zero to 60 and just 0.3 seconds with a top speed well over 200 miles per hour.
[SPEAKER_04]: The bubble top roof,
[SPEAKER_04]: the bubble top like canopy is made out of a shatterproof flexi glass as well as it has suicide doors and retro jet fighter controls.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh retro jet fighter controls it has a unique rear heavy boat like handling style that can make cornering a fun challenge though it's all we'll drive makes it makes it great for power sliding.
[SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense I mean it does look kind of boat like
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, also there's a boardhog from halo.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the I believe that's the only other futuristic vehicle like that's Beyond our current year that's in any of the games.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, that's so that's fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like this is the kind of stuff like Sometimes people complain about these things and they're like breaks the realism of the game and it's like
[SPEAKER_03]: You're playing a force of racing game.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like what does it matter?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like Fun with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's a fun one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you guys play forza and he forza players?
[SPEAKER_03]: I played forza before I've mostly like back when game pass wasn't crazy expensive and I was just like let's try this game out
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a wheel back here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay, so you actually have like a whole rig.
[SPEAKER_04]: A whole rig with pedals, a wheel, six feet, eight shifter, and a lever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-oh, something happened to Capet and he just disappeared.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope we were pretty doing okay, Capet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so, do you play like any of the like truck driver games?
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: American trucker.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did he do this?
[SPEAKER_04]: I think combined, I've spent a total of like $350 on ATS American trucks.
[SPEAKER_04]: And really?
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those games are so intriguing because they get such high ratings.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if you look them up on Steam, they're like overwhelmingly positive.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and the reason for that is that they keep adding states and they're expanding now into Canada currently.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anybody else have any suggestions?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know Kappa had one, but it looks like something happened and he had to go away for a second.
[SPEAKER_03]: Any other pumpkins?
[SPEAKER_03]: Got another one.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm upset Jeremy hasn't talked about this one because he's played this game.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no Jeremy's going to get murdered.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, four or three sets of Fallout magic the gathering.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, that was the thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, the reason I have not talked about it and I am.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's defending us.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a stack in my hand for audio listeners.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's about four inches tall of straight magic cars that I pulled on a gamble.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, Tom, as opposed to, as opposed to, as opposed to game magic code, it's considered game magic codes.
[SPEAKER_04]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you talking about?
[UNKNOWN]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_04]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, because okay, so for people who don't know I'm not a big magic player, but there are packs that are like competitive and then there are packs that are just like these are for fun, but you can't use them in a competitive settings that where you're talking about the branded ones that like are like teenage mutant Ninja Turtles are fallout.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can use those in competitive.
[SPEAKER_04]: okay it depends on what mode you're playing okay but like the strictest mode doesn't allow those cards yet no okay but I also am not a competitive player I also don't want I simply don't want those other brands in my magic stuff but you can still it is simply a personal preference for it I mean you are a fallout fan I mean you just have we're in this room do you see fallout
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: You look very small on my screen.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, do any of you guys have have fallout magic cards?
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the mutant mayhem shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have the moth man set.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: So what kinds of cards are there?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are the different, oh, so, so in mutant may have specifically, of course, there's mothman.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big one.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the master.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's Frank Horigan.
[SPEAKER_01]: The one that I liked the lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not a lot of reference it and I'm surprised that magic did was that there's a card.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember what it's called.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the art of it is
[SPEAKER_03]: But the penny arcade reference thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, like that's such a mess.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so yeah That is well, they were they're they're they made of penny arc comic recently that continued the comic Oh really?
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know that yeah, that's amazing so like I'm I've just accepted that it's canon So I guess so at this point I've had people say things like why did you skip over that vault?
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, there's not a lot to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's not a lot of the episode would have been two minutes long.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, there's that thing else to say.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, man, that's amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: But those are some deep pools, Frank Horgon.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, we're not talking like Fallout 4 or Fallout 76.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're talking, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're even new Vegas.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're talking like old thoughts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite card, though, in the entire shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rahual is in my set and I'm so happy about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love Rahual.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rahual is my favorite companion in the entire series and like I've got a car.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's it was in my deck and I was like I don't even play magic.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted the set now.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm even happier because Rahual's here.
[SPEAKER_03]: that's that's so cool like so this is not one of those things I expect but it makes sense like if you're somebody who's going to make magic decks if you're you know the company a charge of this and you're going to work with a company like Bethesda to get the rights to fall out then it makes sense to appeal to like the like the the really in deep fans you know the ones who would know those references
[SPEAKER_03]: as opposed to just like, here's a power armor.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a, a ghoul, you know, like to actually have real references.
[SPEAKER_03]: And uh, yeah, that's bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: How's it going, man?
[SPEAKER_03]: You doing okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: Things good?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sorry, my phone died.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I have the science stack, which is, uh, mostly brotherhood of steel based.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there anything else in there that's not brotherhood of steel that would be or or any like deep pulls from brotherhood?
[SPEAKER_03]: stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's Dr. Lee and Liberty Prime are the only two I can really remember right now, so I haven't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have my cards here.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are a thousand kilometers that way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we'll wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go get them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, my jokes are, somebody complained, this is a fun thing, this is a fun thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a comment recently on a post and they said, they're working their way through the episodes and they got to the section of the episodes where Laney was my co-host and they said something like, well now that Laney's Tom's co-host, his jokes keep getting worse and he says he'll say something awkward and they just leave a pause and I don't know if I can deal with that anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I responded and I was like, oh, you're only on the Laney episodes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, so much, but it's not making way worse, so also like if you don't enjoy the show, man, don't let don't listen to the show, like it's fine, but yeah, and so last, there's a lot more lorecass shows hosted by a bunch of different hosts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, lots of people do shows.
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, like, yeah, there's lots of YouTube videos you can go watch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, this is the end of the place you can get lower.
[SPEAKER_03]: I promise.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now you've got me thinking about, like, going to want to collect some cards.
[SPEAKER_03]: When I, when I play the game, when I just display them somewhere, I mean, I've got a bunch of false stuff in my room.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, is it worth, is it worth the money or asking for, for like birthday present, you know, like,
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if you don't play magic, they're cool cards, but the sooring is a spilt thing of nuka coal up.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the artwork is usually pretty cool too, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, does it look good?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it looks amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, that's cool stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I'm so glad that there's like crossover stuff like this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Going on, all of that is always so fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: So here's a fun story.
[SPEAKER_03]: This isn't a crossover thing, but it is a fun story.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is, or there was.
[SPEAKER_03]: This has been a while now, but not too long ago, there was a local game store.
[SPEAKER_03]: not too far from where I live.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they had an A-like life-sized bubble, like the kinds that you would see in like GameStop when like Fallout 4 came out or what were 76 or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was like a life-sized bubble and they were selling it because they were getting rid of stuff in the store that they need more room or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this thing's huge, like it's like 7 feet tall, like that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like a thousand bucks, 1500 bucks, I'm like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And my wife was like, we could go get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, how do we even transport it?
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was, she's like, you could put it in your office.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it could be on screen when you do your show.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, that's a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_03]: And also, I don't even know how to, like, does it come apart in the pieces that we build it?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, how does it even work?
[SPEAKER_03]: So we didn't end up getting it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that would have been really cool to have it, like a full-on wallboy to stand behind me here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get a dirty printer.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's three print like a giant one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you could do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably would cost you that much in materials.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, maybe like 40 bucks of material for a seven foot tall ball boy.
[SPEAKER_03]: that's a lot of plastic dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it depends on how in build you want it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, like just a really thin shell.
[SPEAKER_03]: Dense really easy.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, we're going close to the end of the show.
[SPEAKER_03]: Any other references you guys are like, oh, this one needs to be called out here at the end.
[SPEAKER_03]: Catpads got one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw one, and then we'll do Ash real quick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to quickly say this before my phone died, but there's a
[SPEAKER_03]: few references in rage rage the Bethesda title there was rage and rage to who I believe and they were really were not huge successes but there were people who really liked them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Personally I like rage.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't gotten too much into it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just trying to pull it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so in the subway town, one of the pictures a magazine you can read is a freeze frame of one of the new going off from the first ever fallout.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's like a, it's a free stream of the nuclear explosion.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, more never changes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can also see the explosion and an on-click, I bought faintly in the surrounding area.
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, you can find the charisma bubble.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the game, the bubble heads in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: The quiz time?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the town of well-springs on the mayor's desk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well springs is also a reference.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good springs?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Logan's looking at me very confused.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well springs, good springs.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ash, what are you?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you sharing?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm surprised nobody else brought it up because they are like very, no, my words are weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, but doom 2016 and do maternal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, more Bethesda.
