Have actually played a bunch of this with friends about a year ago. It's a solid game and a good time. Warning is that it is somewhat Pay to Win at a certain level. You can sorta counter this with smart play and the starting rifles you get as a free player are legitimately quite good- but sometimes you can't help but be carpet bombed to death or have to face a raid-boss level dollar-bought tank that seems to eat infinite explosives. Ultimately still recommended as it's a free game and still a good time!

[@High-Overlord-Snarffie-Pug]

I've had that same little black box thing for a long time as well. I have no idea why but if you CTRL+DEL then shut down FONV with task manager then change the game from either windowed to full screen or the other way around for some reason it fixes it temporarily fixes it. But the next time you open the game you'll get it again. So depending on how long it keeps the little black box mode going it can be faster just to put up with it. I know that's not much help but you know better than I do how fucked New Vegas is. At least it runs at all unlike FO3 which I haven't been able to turn on since Windows 10 came out.

i appreciate you doing these wacky runs as a reminder that speedrunning is more about fun than following strict rulesets

[@tomatoanus]

thank you guac, hope you're doing well :)

@@tomatoanushey bro. Came to say the same thing. I’ve been getting interested in speedruns but had an unpleasant interaction with a pretty miserable KZbin speedrunner. I won’t mention names anyhow. Thanks for keeping the levity and fun in speed running. Cheers from Europe bro!

Tomatoanus: giving the most motivational and hope giving speech ever spoken The janky motorcycle that has ever been modded in: **ClAnK** **cLaNk** **CLAnk**

[@tomatoanus]

originally the plan was to have me say "ow" in the background or have the speech get interrupted by me saying "ow" on every clang but decided to not downplay the message that way since i care about it greatly.

[@glassphoenix9095]

Tommy Tallarico must be very proud of doing this speedrun,

His mother certainly is

[@profitprophet3184]

Love these modded runs where you decide the requirements, it highlights how speed running can be done by anyone and not something restricted to streamers who grind WRs

[@VivecAlmalexia]

Tomato, every time i've felt down, i've watched a video of yours, because I struggle with feeling really crappy most days, but hearing you say "there will be a tomorrow, and how you are feeling is not final" helps me so much. thank you so much for being the positive influence that you are.

[@chessemchesse3676]

Im not even surprised at this point if tomato just speedruns an entire divorce

‘Less time talking with his mouth and more time talking with his hands’ hit just right. Love the explanation.

[@spenser4885]

every time you do your midrun motivational speech i really do tear up a little. i always forget theyre coming and they always make my day better getting flashbanged by positivity like that in videos abt meme speedruns lmao

[@danismynewname]

I love the idea of using speedrun tech to do stuff in game other than beating the game fast. Alternate objectives with hoops to jump through seems like a great way to show off the tricks that are used in the speedrun, and maybe some tricks that got phased out as new stuff got discovered. I would love to see a video as a follow up to any of your older speedrun explained videos going through old tech and skips that are in current and old speedruns where you do it in this format.

[@grey1036]

The "I hope you're all doing well..." part of each video is one of the best segments in any video series ever and have helped me to really focus on moving forward no matter how hard things get in life. I just recently got things back up to the "above avarage day" mark and things are kinda going my way again after cancer, depression and just a shit life in general, and i just want to thank you SO much for doing these speeches. You have a lifelong follower in me for that and i get excited every time i get a notification for a new upload. Keep up the amazing job, mate. you literally save people with these. From Sweden with love.

[@AwesomeDude799]

Nice.

[@mayonaise000]

The amount of snark and dry humor in this is just beautiful. I'm surprised that you didn't save it for April 1st.

[@Obeast117]

Some of the small, unmentioned bits of this were so perfect. When Victor turned around with Kevin James' face on his screen I lost my shit E: oh man, and a Nick Drake Pink Moon reference. You're incredible

Control speedrun to Ashtray Maze would be fucking sick

[@BrentBowersWithTics]

I'm very excited to see more of your own speedruns! I hope to see more of a mix of your own speedruns and your explanation of other speedruns. Keep up the great work!

[@paroxysmal2645]

Boy, I'm sure glad I watched that multiple-hours long HBomberguy video so I wasn't confused on the Tommy Tallarico joke. Time well spent.

[@mayitakeyourhatsir8632]

As somebody that started playing New Vegas like 3 months ago and have already sunk well over 100 hours into it, I was thoroughly confused by this title saying I could adopt a baby when I'd heard nothing about it. Now I understand

That section at 19:40 really hits. I went through a break up this morning and was not feeling okay. This genuinely brightened my mood. Thank you tomato ❤️

[@JVLawnDarts]

I just gotta say I love your content so much man. I always watch it once paying full attention and then put them on as i fall asleep. Not to mention the little messages you slip in the middle. Calms the nerves to actually fall asleep. Thanks from a Minnesota guy

[@carlsiouxfalls]

I think the self-created speedruns you do are the most fun. It shows off several silly mods and lets you just goof around while showing that you're not just a narrator of other speedrunners but you can do it yourself. I think my favorite was the constant Knuckles loading screens since we didn't really see much of the interactions with the wild companions available through those mods.

[@dominickkramer6469]

your watch time from me alone must be days. i need something calming to fall asleep and always loved speedrunning. so i pretty regularly fall asleep to your videos (after ive seen them once for the actual content, of course, because your videos are awesome) just wanted to say thanks for all the lullabies, you make this insomniac very happy

23:45 speedrun to die from from fall damage once in every location where it's possibke in Metroid Prime 2. MP2 introduced locations where can fall off cliffs, etc. taking a little damage every time, the main goal of the speedrun is to fall enough times to die once at each of those locations.

[@krobalt4099]

random thought for the black square is that if you go to the exe and in properties set it to override dpi scaling by program it might help if you play at a higher resolution than the game usually supports but idk if It'll do much. Usually its my first go to step when troubleshooting weird graphics issues on high res monitors tho. it could also maybe be mods or other software clogging the game engine on boot and having to be loaded first before the game can start, this usually happens as every mod needs to be initialized before most games can run

[@RedSntDK]

It could also be some overlay that the Bink player doesn't play nice with?

@@RedSntDK I'm pretty sure its NVSE loading up. It happens to me with all the bethesda games when I run a script extender.

Tomatoanus saw the Fallout leaderboards and said "I'm gonna go make my own speedrun... with blackjack....& Knuckles"

[@staticradio724]

Wow, that's a reference I haven't heard in many a year! 😆

[@Kasaaz]

The order your PC finds your monitors on boot might affect the weird small loading window when you start the game if they are different resolutions. If not exactly that it probably is something else to do with multiple monitors and the Gamebryo engine being the Gamebryo engine, or whatever they later called it at Bethesda. You can always tell it's that by the way the terrain looks. Even Rift couldn't hide it.

[@doublebrass]

I would hate to lose your regular videos but I think these mod runs are a lot of fun and I would love to see more of them
