Hi there, Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the video tremendously! It's been a few months since I first finished New Vegas myself and when this video popped up in my suggestions feed, I felt like dropping back to Mojave for a couple of hours. Made myself an evening out of it! A couple of beers, some snacks and a generally relaxed atmosphere for some of that nice wasteland groove. You have a really nice voice and a charming personality and you seem to be on top of the whole commenting while playing the game thing as well, so pretty much everything worked for the brief yet entertaining tale of So Hungry. Best regards from Finland! You've got yourself a new subscriber, who's next going to check out what else you've been doing amidst all the nuclear fallout.

I love the flexibility this game gives you when playing a character. The hero of the mohave wasteland, the one that can alter the course of many major powerful factions, can either be a strategic genius that plans every action, or just a crazy reckless dehydrated hobo. I want a history book recounting the exploits of the latter.

[@gigitrix]

Cracking job. You always combine mastery with a level of authentically "playing the game". Speed runs are great but so often the achievement is completely different to the designed gameplay experience. Playthroughs like this one show novel experiences without subverting the game entirely. Not sure what I'm trying to say but I love stuff like this!

[@Retrofire-47]

Hehe

[@bobitis]

gigitrix I definitely agree with you here, While I enjoy "Speedruns", I feel most of the sportsmanship is taken out of the experience due to glitches and exploits. This is just skill and knowledge about the game, so much more to appreciate with this sort of speedrun.

[@xxxxxrandom]

gigitrix Agreed, while single segment any-glitch-you-can-do speedruns are impressive in their own way this kind of following the intended rules of the game challenge runs are more enjoyable to watch!

[@MWGScorp]

gigitrix Ditto man, I think I get what you're saying

[@NopeJustPatrick]

Jon's challenge runs adapt the core gameplay experience into something wholly unique to the game, whereas speedrunners tend to utilize the same methods regardless of the games they play.

[@jauntycube6875]

I hate the fact that I didn't even realise that there was a bloody monorail to the strip I spent 2 hours in freeside getting my science and caps up to get past the securitrons

[@jauntycube6875]

Yeah at camp mccarren and that annoyed because by the time I saw this video I had already gone in to the strip

[@poopboy3998]

Jonjo Pymm I fucking did the entire honest hearts DLC just because of the caps you get

[@leoschue8071]

So your character had some sort of vision of what he had to do just as he woke up, and was so eager to do it that he forgot to eat, sleep, or drink.

[@rossjames8839]

Good Count will do something different for this run. We're going to play a fun game called Calorie Count. Every time Jon shows a food item he could have eaten, but didn't, I'm going to show the hunger score lost, and the caps count for the meal. One thing I always loved about Hardcore mode was that it made my stealth-heavy melee-only runs a lot more practical, what with ammo having weight. I might end up periodically showing how much ranged weapons weigh when the ammo is factored in and keep a running ammo weight total, much like the Calorie Count itself. 4:05 - Interesting choice of build here. The choice of one (1) strength might make an ammo weight count more interesting... 4:56 - 33 energy cells? 2.5WG To put that into perspective, the gun itself only weighs 3. 5:29 - So that's one purified water, two dirty waters, and 20 9mm rounds shown. That's an addition 0.5WG for the ammo - notice how much lighter it is than energy weapon ammo in Hardcore mode? - at Survial of 25 (2+(End*2) + (Luck/2)) - is 140 dehydration from the dirty waters and 70 from the clean, but saves him from 12 rads. Note: Dehydration potential is a base of 50 for the water with your Survival score's tens value added to it So a score of 19 gives you 60 dehydration, and a score of 20 gives you 70. This is going to make the running value of the Calorie count interesting if Jon ever decides to put skill points into Survival. I don't see that happening though, it's a waste of a skill for his purposes. 6:05 - Medicine is less useful because of the over time healing in HC? Bah! It makes it more critical! Otherwise you could use your stacks of caps to just buy a mountain of them and spam them when you need them. I felt incredibly vindicated 25 seconds later, when he untagged lockpick and put it back into medicine. 7:33 - Now, this gives me a chance to talk about the perks you chose. As Jon is a sucker for his crit chance, it's understandable he chose built-to-destroy. And Good Natured, as well, an interesting choice, because he got +5 in two skills he'll use to sacrifice -5 in Guns. What were some alternatives? Logans Loophole would have been amazing for a speedrun. There is no way Jon would have survived long enough to make it past level 30, so its benefits would be astronomically amazing. "Chems last twice as long and you never become addicted" Jon's remark, "But I won't be using chems past this point", is insane! If you get that trait, *you start using chems with wild abandon*. Strength 1? Buffout. Agility 6 acts as Agility 8 or 9 with Jet. Hydra. Turbo. Psycho. Slasher. MedX. All of these without consequence for a tradeoff that will never, ever matter. Four Eyes is just a free +1 to perception, seeing as you already picked up eyeglasses from the good doctor. Small Frame paired with Logan's Loophole and Hydra essentially gives you a penalty-free + 1 to Agility. Wild Wasteland: A favourite of mine. When you prefer flavour text and pop culture references to min-maxing. Not a good choice here, but always a fun one. Claustrophobia and Early Bird are *right* out. Absolutely not worth it when you can't afford to wait for 12 hours, in Early Bird's case, or at all in Claustrophobia's - how many terminals and locks are outside? Skilled, meanwhile, is amazing except in a middle-distance speedrun. Especially with 10 intelligence. Alright, now it's time to move on! It is at 8:30 that I am reminded exactly why I love Jon, so much. Permadeath rules for fun in an already ludicrous challenge. Who else but MATN? 8:56 - Now up to 1.5WG of 9mm ammo, and with that we start the game! I'm going to be posting this comment in parts, I think, because it's already gotten ludicrously long.

[@ManyATrueNerd]

Ross James I did strongly consider Logan's Loophole, but I wasn't sure where I would FIND the drugs to take... and 4 Eyes was because I knew I'd be throwing on a helmet as early as possible - in retrospect, I was stupid to not get the metal helmet as I passed it into Novac, or a Combat helmet in Nellis...

I have a challenge I'd love to see. Like the comment so he can see it. Fallout 3:Respect for the Dead Complete Fallout 3 without looting any corpses with the exception of quest items. You can loot peoples stashes weather they are alive or dead but can't loot dead corpses or meat from dead animals. Killing is allowed. Weapons left on the ground by dead enemies can't be taken unless shot from there hands and taken while they are alive. All mines are free game as no enemy has ever been seen placing one but use you judgment if you like. This challenge means a constant struggle to find new places with loot laying about while avoiding wasting ammo on enemies, good armor is rare as hell, and money is extortionately finite. Item condition will constantly be leaving you with little to no armor. Optional conditions: - Avoid buying merchants gear as they often buy stuff stolen off dead people. - No stealing red text items unless quest - No scrounger or fortune finder perk - Leave all your foes in dignified positions after death.

grishemall I think Jon's gotten the better half of this deal. Operating a racetrack that difficult to spell is inviting trouble, I don't have the patience to type that many letters into a GPS to find it, and asking for directions from the newly conquerly locals is suicide. Hell, I'd be afraid to eat the waffles or chocolates for fear of poison. Is there some other relatively small not militarised power with a good racetrack you could invade instead? I'd be happier if after mass enslavement we'd have enough GDP to import ethically sourced poison free desserts. Does that make me a fussy eater? I freely admit I've given the hypothetical invasion of Belgium excessive degrees of thought.

grishemall Belgium will be ours and we will use the leftover forces to take the srounding areas and then... THE WORLD... and also mars because why not

Small tip for this playthrough, being inside buildings will reduce the rate at which your Thirst goes up. Basically staying out of the direct sunlight will slow it down. So stay indoors as much as possible, and try to stick to night time for moving around. It should help stretch out your survivability. Also fast traveling/waiting tends to make your thirst go up faster than normal, especially if wait outside. Basically avoid the sun as much as possible at all times. xD

I got to an hour and ten minutes before giving up on Calorie Count. The great thing about Jon is he offscreens all the uneccessary inventory management, looting segues and ultimately trims his videos down to a manageable, entertaining length. The terrible thing about that is that it makes studying his inventory and looting frackin' impossible. I'm not even mad. It's just one of those things you take for granted that MATN does exceptionally, fantastically well until you start paying attention to it.

The here we needed, but not the one we deserved.

[@FidgetTheMidget8P]

We can't just assume there aren't any subscribers from Belgian army. The question isn't how many - it's where their loyalty lies

[@watchman_1029]

my game glitched at the VERY end when I killed legate lanius and the quest didn't acknowledge it, I never technically completed the game. what a time to bloody glitch.

[@Novasky2007]

yes do more short runs! that was awesome to watch. Im amazed how good an ending that is... independent New Vegas. brotherhood back in dominance. The little towns thriving. Truly the way the wasteland is meant to be.

[@bennyshores8979]

You should do something along the lines of a scavenger run or "Use what you see" run where you can't buy anything, it has to be found out in the wasteland. Up for debate if you allow looting bodies, repairing, or needing to immediately equip whatever you find.

[@fadmanloki660]

I'd say no looting, but taking weapons off the ground after you kill them is fine.

[@whiskeybent3780]

Benny Shores I've done one of those, lot of fun. Way I did it was no looting, no trading, hardcore mode, permadeath. I allowed myself to take items off enemies I killed and eat plants/drink water I found in the wild.

[@bobitis]

Whiskey Bent Were you able to open containers?

[@whiskeybent3780]

no containers, only looting I could do was from enemy bodies

[@bennyshores8979]

Benny Shores New Vegas really plays on the themes of desperation and enterprise. Basically, there are people who will do anything to survive/stay sane/keep order, and those who see an opportunity and take advantage of the desperate. I imagine a scenario where Jon is forced into a path which plays into both, like Hardcore mode with no repairing, no buying/selling, and limited looting of containers. Vanilla play emphasizes enterprise a lot, but this way the seemingly useless Survival skill is put to use, and he's got to kill innocents when he's near death himself for a chance at finding something he needs.

[@adamseckel7480]

I'd love more one off challenge runs! Congrats on the subscribers too, well deserved!

[@kebubas]

Half of the stuff you did in this video alone, I've never seen in any of my many playthoughs or even watched let's plays... o.O

[@ConRayArt]

Tadas Armonavičius such as...?

[@thefacelessstranger4983]

Krowski Nall Did he not know that you can ignore the factions? Or was he not aware of Yes Man?

[@kebubas]

such as you can bypass entire freeside by dressing up as NCR and using the monorail, the Ultra Lux, the random citizen on the bench in the Strip, Benny joining you in the suite he gives you, Shank or Swank (w/e his name is) taking Benny's place, the NCR backdoor at Helios One, the guitarist having a pistol that plays music when unsheathed... enough ?

[@chestergrimes3]

That's why I love his vids😎

[@kebubas]

chester grimes indeed (y)

[@TheMandown25]

Many a true nerd Jon your "you only live once" series is awesome. I'm very addicted to it. Thank you for the show!!

[@dickslinger2592]

do you have to eat,drink,sleep in normal mode?

[@user-pw1nz9ye3g]

no

[@cripto723]

+MuckyDuckGaming No its a hardcore only feature.

[@lanceuppercut6168]

Grats MATN! When I saw the vid length I honestly thought you had croaked before finishing XP I'm glad you got through the dam without being blown up by your robo-companion's friendly fire XD

[@shweg_9418]

I like this guy.... new subscriber

[@Juncti]

Congrats on the milestone and the successful hardcore run. That was a fun one to watch. One that would be fun to watch but I don't think you have the PC version needed would be Fallout Rust. A really hardcore version of New Vegas that would certainly call on your knowledge and strategy to survive.

[@whimsicallizzie]

That was wonderful! I didn't think you could pull it off, but I shouldn't have doubted you. Anytime I'm like "no, there's no way he's gonna finish this" you do!! It's fantastic. So excited to see how fai

[@whimsicallizzie]
