[Intelligence 1337] Fallout 2 + Fallout 2 = Fallout 4.

[@farribastarfyre]

ThEsHaDoW343 *stereotypical aftereffects bullshit* Oh, oh, oh, OH! Where are you at?! Oh, baby a triple! (notetoself neverdothatagain)

[@joao-gq7by]

I just get it: THE HYPING IS REAL.

[@tylerdonneky5389]

[Intelligence -500] skyrim = fallout

[@OsakaBomb]

Sure is. I wish I knew the name of the actor they chose for this. He's really good at that 1950s educational film charisma. Where even nuclear holocausts and potential death can be taught about with humorous cartoon mascots and catchy slogans and songs.

[@JebTheDestroyer]

My head canon is that your Pip-Boy neurally connects with your brain and heightens your reflexes so much that it looks like time has stopped. Same with the HUD, the Pip-Boy neurally connects to your brain and gets it so that can see that. Lol, I overthink stuff too much.

[@MrRebelliousNerd]

How the hell would this work in real life?

[@wackywilliam0182]

I always thought of it as more of a concept than an actual device

[@mzov_1724]

I figure vats would only work on pistols if it were a real thing, and you'd have to hold the pip boy in front of you like a sight

[@deletdis6173]

Magic

[@dedded6336]

[Intelligence 0] You smart talk hurt brain. Stop.

[@theshadow3438]

[Charisma 0] I'm an ugly piece of shit.

[@dedded6336]

[Intelligence 0] *Grunts*

[@pukejuicez]

[Stamina 0] I'll just walk...

[@farribastarfyre]

BLAZE IT JOE [Speech, 0%] Actually, it's Endurance. (Out of character: And now you're supposed to be pissed at me for correcting you.)

[@dedded6336]

[Intelligence 0] You shut mouth! not talk! i not listen to you! ahah!

[@ramenbowlproductions9479]

I remember seeing these ads on TV once.

[@obliviochamp5986]

heheh "and makes mr. Scary go away"

[@lilsinjin]

I love how Bethesda made these videos.

[@Agent1W]

They also offer Gunslinger, Commando, Sniper, Concentrated Fire, and Paralyzing Palm training with VATS. And if you're one of the lucky ones, a stranger with a .44 magnum will give you a hand!

[@deletdis6173]

Careful, everyone. It's a museum piece.

[@alvin117799]

Mannnn I hope F4 does these same commercials.

[@miniuxguzman6636]

it did my friend xD

[@worstplayer8204]

What? I thought it got the why you're special clips.

[@billybobby8838]

It probably increases the speed of your actions, thus making it seem like time has stopped.

[@TimBell87]

@iamraveneight A point worth noting - vacuum tubes have issues when used at high frequencies, the colour component on analogue tvs is produced using a high frequency component added to what would otherwise be a very low frequency waveform (this by the way is how a colour broadcast is to this day able to be viewed in monochrome on a black and white TV set)

[@Agent1W]

I can't believe that we don't have comprehensive, analytic object imaging yet!

[@madworldsmileyface]

the only thing that vault tec made that had a FOR SAFE purpose...

[@iliekchocolatemilk]

It takes place in an alternate history.

[@GnosticAtheist]

I have just begun playing fallout 3 for the Xth time. It never gets old it seems. I even dream in vats mode from time to time. xD

[@FalloutFansEditor]

Actually you can find a picture of Elvis on dead aliens in Fallout 1 :)

[@ToaMaster1619]

I thought the war was in 2070 and F3 took place in 2277? I may be wrong, but it makes sense, seeing some of the techonolgy.

[@catcat71gaming94]

So close I thought it was vault tech advanced targeting system

[@woobyvr9654]

Self defence PFFFFFT I just use a fat man

[@malusuarte4595]

QuebeC :D same

[@WordedDrake]

He looks like he knows what he's talking about. Let's listen to what he has to say.

[@watam8]

Vault-Boy isnt Mr.Scary

[@thatguylego7667]

YES HE IS!!!!!!

[@rippetoe38]

Agreed.

[@VaultBoy2076]

He’s more like... Mr. Handsome. Am I right, or am I right?

[@TheeNero]

Vault Boy's smile is fucking haunting

[@TechUnadept]

It's where the slide projector control is.

[@XxCoffinBirthxX]

me to you.....you can find the picture of the puppet from vault 77*twilight zone song starts playing*

[@OrcsRule44]

the reason this is 50s is because in the 50s the cuban missle crisis and duck and cover and that stuff if you go into the spring vale school theres a picture saying duck in cover :) i read all the posters and stuff

[@SuperThrasher88]

if you read the description in the fallout 3 manual, it says that the people got stuck in the 50's lifestyle ;)

[@Claizen]

"...And makes mister scary, go away!"

[@MultiJade]

V.A.T.S Very Awesome Targeting System

[@starskunk]

@zionjt Basically, even the improvements in technology done in the Fallout Universe all used the parts generally available in the 1950's. So they never discovered integrated circuits for example, thus the vacuum tube 'computer chips' they use. So they probably never felt a need to discover color pixel technology, also explaining why all the computers in FO3 are monochrome green.

[@chellejohnson9789]

I always thought it made you go super hyper making you think quicker and also it had neuro-mapping

[@juicedup14]

is that the same guy that says "and bacon and eggs!"

[@rippetoe38]

juicedup14 Yes

[@CadetLease]

i think they were trying to keep the tradition of all the actuall old ads. cause all of them were in black and white.

[@Adrian28PetersonOWN]

@DaRebel21 we had robots vaults and even nuclear bombs when there was black and white tvs

[@TheTurtleman9]

Looks like the mysterious stranger in that coat.

[@Enderman25]

*aims at head 20 times*

[@tenpinbowl12]

@Krishannpatel it was 2077 when bombs fell. and then its 200 years after 2077

[@Ellegion10]

wghy is it that the tv is in black and white when its like 2077

[@XxCoffinBirthxX]

mister scarys head POPED LIKE A WATERMELLON

[@SuperSovietBear]

I like all of their acronims.

[@John--Silver]

i thougt it stood for vault automated targeting system

[@GcrackerProductions]

@Ellegion10 It's an alternate future, just because WE made color displays, doesn't mean that they did. Maybe they put different research to the forefront of technology, like lasers, robots, and the like.

[@NutNapalm]

@bluepickle15 Fallout takes place on an alternate development timeline - certain technologies were never developed or developed much later than in our world. Also, cats are extinct.

[@munchwarrior12]

I don't know how to spull spall spoll spell spell

[@DaRebel21]

Wow,they could invent robots, vats, vaults, heck even nuclear bombs..but they couldn't invent colour-tvs

@xxxGamesBondxxx 1980 commercials had colour....

[@17XSilver]

amazing they have timestopping targetting devices and power armor but no color lol

[@simpsonfan13]

@Raneko It has to do with the storyline of the Fallout universe. After WWII the Fallout universe diverged ftom our own. They developed better technology in things like the mass production of robotics for home use, and advances in nuclear power, but severlt lagged behind in things like cumputer science and electornics miniturization. For this reason things like PC's and television technology never advanced much beyond 1950's era tech.

[@dalekthey]

and makes "mr. scary" *BOOM!* go away.

[@solotaughtme]

these need to be in between loading screens

[@superanimefan275]

So the people of retrofuturism can invent a time-stopping targeting system, but not color television? Haha its all good though, I love the retroness of fallout :)

[@File65327]

@KamikazeRacer1 What about the Pip-Boy?

[@Nanomaster828]

@tearsofdespair1 The Fallout games are based off of a book written in 1946, & the author's interpretation of what the future might be like. Also, much of the music is from the 40's & 50's.

[@EPICLYFATALERROR]

It makes Mr. Scary go away! O-o

[@Sworddeath727]

Ah yes my close ranged ally... but unfortunately for VATS i don't use him so much as i like to follow the small guns bobble head "Because it's easier to have courage from a safe distance away"

[@zionjt]

wait so they have the tchnology to slow time down for you, but they still only have black and white tv and projectors? (and yes i know its 1950's style but they could of least gotten colour.)

[@mattyjames81]

I have a question, now maybe my Fallout lore isn't up to speed but, why are the commericals made in a 1940's style? The latest technologies should be around just before the bombs dropped, I think 2070 or so? You'd think there'd be modern commercials in that era. I do admit the 40's style theme to everything is pretty hilarious :)

[@tenpinbowl12]

What year is fallout set in its like 1950s when the bombs fell but its like the futer to?

[@Advancedgod]

@12Daniel34 Most of Fallout's style and the way radiation works in the game is based on 50's science fiction.

[@imascatmanworld]

V.A.T.S make mr scary go away this means i can take on the centaurs now???

[@WpA09]

oh no i thought VATS meant "Virtual Auto Targeting Sequence" not "Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System"! wonder where i got that from then??? haha

[@Firecloud500]

i must be very lucky then cause i get visits from that guy all the time

[@NaruSanavai]

That would make today's technology yesterday

[@Razgriz711]

Looks like I'm going to need ap in the future

[@FriendlierFetus]

It works when you're talking too!

[@theferrariwrecker]

Well, i only know how to crush, crash, crosh, crash, crash.

[@TraitorTrilobite]

@razorniels dude he's dead now so it would be sulliie or however you spell his name

[@rrai1999]

0:55 Epic.

[@unitedairforce1]

thats just what i was thinking. because its not like you could ACTUALLY slow down time or else the whole world would have to, then it would get kinda annoying.

[@DerpScout]

so there saying they have the power to freeze time and let u think?

[@ashtonsoulfire]

lol makes mr scay go away...nice display of him "going away" at least if he means the guys head haha

[@Jastro88]

@simpsonfan13 Well said. I often try to explain the Fallout universe to people and they fail to fully comprehend... this is a good way to describe it.

[@tow34511]

The weird thing is everybody in DC is still acting like the bombs only went off 10 years ago.I mean seriously 200 years later and someone has JUST thought of writing a survival guide.

[@ZombieGamer009]

im very good at making mr. scary go away

[@99batran]

wait how can time stops?

[@BananaMana69]

@tearsofdespair1 Uhhh... If you read the instrustions of Fallout 3 it says in there... It says after WWII, the timeline splits into ours and then the fallout timeline. Where technology progressed at a much faster rate but American society was locked in the cultural norm of the 1950's. That's why all the 50's and earlier music was played. And why Three Dog doesn't know what a disc is.

[@enok90]

thats exactly why they chose the 50's its a perfect concept, using what people thought of an Nukelear Armageddon and at the same time joking bout' the 50's american culture.

[@Kill001]

What kind of VATS doesn't target the groin area? :(

[@Magelight456]

It doesn't, it helps the person focus to the point where it feels like everything's stopped... At least that's what I think

[@MrDingwiz]

MUST......GET.....VATS NOW

[@jamesmcpherson8599]

fallouts own creators got it wrong rob co created it its virtual not vault tec

[@playman350]

I wish this worked in real life. God would I love to falcon punch the hall monitors in my school...

[@TheAwesomeguy256]

Unfortunately, knees can't be targets in the V.A.T.S. ( ._.)

[@BalKrishnaDasa]

VATS --> allowing you to fight behemoths without taking damage since 2277

[@remitos98]

of course, i just tought that was a little weird

[@bioheart09]

at the end of the video he put his hand in his pants fast

[@HumorisLogical]

It's called retro-futurism.

[@voidedfern1644]

you have 100% on hitting a ferrari

[@poisonsting8404]

Cause thats how long the Cold wars lasted in Fallout. while war waged the 50"s look didnt change.

[@theferrariwrecker]

Sorry, i only have a one-handed weapon...

[@Tyraxio]

So, its inspired by the '50'ies because its what people thought of ''future armegeddon'' in the 50'ies? I just have so much troubble believing it (not saying ur wrong ofcoarse, I might be :b) because I though of the game like the reason of the 50'ies inspiration was because peeple were joking about how the world once was... But it sure explains the old look of the Pip Boy... Anyway, I dont have the game yet, but if you want, please tell me more about the 50'ies thing... Seems interesting

I've curiosity in one thing... anyone knows the name of the man in this Advertisement?

[@Jdubblets]

lol it makes mr. Scary go away

[@Antixkid]

Magic and Aliens

[@Darkteen75]

its the pipboy 3000.

[@ericarthurblair11]

yeah, considering this has got 131,728 views since 2008, that's a real great viral marketing campaign

[@12Daniel34]

If the bombs fell in 2077, how come all pre-war ads and stuff is so 1950's?

[@kayminallan2612]

wtf whats with him puting his hand in his pocket o.O

[@greg0050]

30% chance to hit the head? PFFFTTT! Action-boy and desperado kindly say FUCK THAT!

[@lazorize]

@CorRomeister totally
