When Life Gives You Lemons...

[@ropeblaster420]

YOU MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK!

[@Jaeger_Bishop]

You make your engineers invent a combustible lemon, to burn people's houses down with.

[@SteveGames-z8m]

Keep the lemons in your inventory

[@bloodygoat6941]

Hunt legion soldiers

[@tommyp697]

Nothing like peacefully strolling through the Mojave desert when all of the sudden you get jumpscared by the abrupt killcam of Boone de-materializing a Gecko from 5280 feet away

[@charlescrocco7896]

Why such a short range?

[@nathanlynch9634]

That is so true.

[@thestanleys3657]

Having your wife sold by those you trust and having to mercy ☠️ her is probably the worst thing

[@capybara6996]

"Yeah."

[@patrickrutland7138]

Cold.....ice cold.

[@garou9914]

Ah, my favorite companion in the whole series.

[@V1NC3NTG]

For sure. There was constant enemies dying that I hadn't even clocked yet

[@artymixon5316]

​@@V1NC3NTG Boone the walking jump scare lol

[@brianlam6969]

Holy Shit. I never realized it before, but after your video where Jeanie said that she knew that Boone thought his wife was kidnapped, I went back over the files. I originally thought nothing about it, but in hindsight that would actually be very suspicious. After all, Boone said it himself, he didn’t tell anyone about his suspicions because he was afraid the Legion would come after them also. So how could Crawford know about Boone having suspicions in the first place? If Crawford was in fact innocent, she wouldn’t have known about what Boone thought about in the first place. That was so subtle, I can’t believe missed that.

[@Shawnmiller1903]

Wait.... i need to boot up new vagas again

[@FRAAANKYSUUUPER]

For anyone creating future Fallout games be it Bethesda or otherwise, please, please look closely at how this character was portayed and handled, this is one of the most morally complex characters the game has to offer and you can really feel the broken man that Boone is. This is great storytelling and world building with multiple paths that you can come across, you can pass it by or it can follow you, you find out how Bittersprings effected many and how a person might break further and give into the corruption all around.

[@ethanfaiello2373]

Doubt it they're washed bro

[@ktgame2640]

Break*

[@FRAAANKYSUUUPER]

@@ktgame2640 haha, easy slip, you should have seen how many edits I made. Sometimes it's easier to just let people get on with their dyslexia.

[@PattyDunDidit]

The sad part of this is that there are people who call Boone a psychopath that enjoyed deleting his wife because 'the slave camp is small.' Like, huh!?

[@Kris-wo4pj]

Yeah seriously. They forget that tbe game is scaled down by like 10x. and the player character is literally a demi god.

[@yusrikh9374]

Boone gave me some of the sickest killcam on legionaries, thanks Boone.

[@DopeSnoozy]

“She talked a lot, suited me just fine. I never know what to say… and listening to her it could make you forget…”

[@ArchAngel420]

Boone is such an edge lord but the writing is so amazing that of course he’s an edge lord, who wouldn’t be after what he’s been through?

[@stevenbroin4649]

He is The edge lord

[@ThisOldSkater]

Aren't edge lords full of crap though? Boone has been through actual trauma and takes tangible action on it.

[@user-zp8kj2cl9g]

"It's that dude silent and stoic?!? What a edgelord!" 🙄

[@ian7064]

What happened at Bitter Springs was unfortunate but given the Great Khan's 200 yr hx of terrorizing the wasteland (many of those innocent ppl were women, children, and elderly) I find myself lacking much sympathy for them in New Vegas

[@ravonharris3392]

Understandable, but war crimes are still war crimes even against terrorist. Civilizations may be built on corpses at first but senseless violence is just wrong when a nation deems itself as a "morally right" beacon of civilization.

[@RazgrizWing]

There is no justification for the deaths of non combatants

[@Shawnmiller1903]

Tru, but I feel that the Khans could become better when they leave Redrock to Wyoming

[@austink4623]

​@@RazgrizWingidk if you can really call any in the Khan's non combatant

[@Seventh_Bean]

​@austink4623 even the women and children crying and running?

[@un_vex4936]

The man, the myth, the legend, Craig Boone

[@MxxMrtnz0503]

What a great way to start my morning!

[@ropeblaster420]

I start mine on the toilet. Stay there for hours.

[@Nekros-t9e]

"My wife is dead ok?" How do you know that? "Uhhh I don't want to talk about it"

[@o.w.n.1327]

One thing I like about Boone is that he embraces his tradegy.

[@GrahamM1]

15 years later this game is still fucking amazing

[@nkoxi]

Great video! Keep it coming! Merry xmas and happy New Year from Finland!

[@Tommytakanawa]

Another banger from synonymous!

[@datsun620]

Thank you so much for the new Vegas content, can’t get enough.

[@MrNax360]

Wow this is probably my new favorite video of yours. Craig Boone is the best companion in New Vegas.

[@altairtheassassin6071]

Boone's backstory always makes me sad. Life throwed everything at his way and with our help he can even came on top at the end. What a companion to have in the wastelands of Mojave. Also great video

[@omniultimate]

"Maybe Shady Sands deserved it" -a Great Khan, probably

[@petepeskan1842]

This was a really good video. Tugs the heartstrings.

[@Ant2242]

The Great Khans complain about what happened to them by accident what they do to others *On Purpose*.

[@thatrealawkwardguy]

It would be amazing if we see Boone, Veronica, and Raul in the Tv show, my ideal ending that they use, house wins, Veronica left BoS for the Followers,Boone redeemed himself and stays in Vegas as a caravan gaurd, and Raul pick up the ways of the vaquero again

[@nathanlynch9634]

Your videos are made even better with your voice and the music.

[@Sweet_Pup_g]

The real tragedy was that his name was Craig the whole time.

[@DopeSnoozy]

My favorite companion.

[@thepoliticalgunnut8018]

The only character in the game that genuinely jumpscares the player.

[@megatronjenkins2473]

Hooboy, it's SYNONYMOUS!!!! Thank you for your work, you make excellent content! The Mystery Of Joshua Graham: how is he immune to chems? Some of them? All of them? I'm very curious as to how being lit on fire and tossed in a giant gash in the earth makes one impervious to the effects of man-made drugs. Also, where do all these damn Fresh Apples keep coming from?!?

[@Rusty-Halloween]

By far one of my favourite characters in the entirety of the Fallout series

[@theironknight597]

I think if I had lived the life that Boone did I don't know if I'd be able to go on. Whether it was Bitter Springs, the horror that he must've felt in that moment and the shattering of his worldview when it came to the NCR or his experience with his wife and child and how it all ended. To have to first live with what had happened at Bitter Springs, caring for your family while also fearing what they'd think of you if they ever learned what happened whether it was your fault or not, something like that could quite easily shatter his family's images of him forever. To live in that cycle of fear, guilt, regret and the many other emotions while having to suppress those feelings sounds truly awful. Him not being able to save his wife and daughter but instead being placed in the position of ending their lives rather than allowing them to live a life of nothing but hardship and suffering is unimaginable. Boone and his life especially how he lsot his famiky and the guilt he must've felt reminds me very much of The Survivalist from the Honest Hearts DLC who also grappled with losing his family and the guilt he felt over not dying with his family when the bombs fell. I also am reminded of Max Payne who also was unable to save his wife and daughter and another character in that series later on. Cole Phelps also comes to mind and his experience during WW2 and the cave on Okinawa, in a sense it was his own Bitter Springs.

[@WastelandChef]

Good old Craig 🫡 Respect

[@YblockEnthusiast]

I never knew boone was only 27, he always seemed way older to me. Guess it makes sense, hes has more than a lifetime of experience in the span of about 6 years...

[@TooRudeProductions]

Amongst a world of brain rot, it's good to have a channel like this to watch

[@madmacvengeance6131]

The great thing i like in boon is hes great in sniping you can inherit it every marked enemy gives you critical hit in vats mode plus if you bring him in bitter springs he will change his attire

[@artilyon]

I forgot to remember to forget

[@danilodesouza6461]

Happy new year, mate

[@610Hobbies]

There's very few things as satisfying as destroying Caesar and his whole fort with Boone in your party.

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

I feel so bad for this guy in every playthrough.

[@danieljames7629]

Best companion in fallout history

[@seangrever3506]

Best companion in all of fallout imo

I'd pay so much just for a modern graphical and stability update for newvegas

[@Seventh_Bean]

*sound of a .308 rifle firing as the screen goes black* That was well planned, Synonymous.

[@kpat5655]

Unpopular Opinion they should have Boone into a ranger, the Veteran Ranger Uniform suits him.

[@badgamemaster]

While I like Veronica just a bit more, I do like recruiting Boone to play his story and help him.

[@feral.housewife.]

Oh hell yeah, I just started a new crochet project and synonymous uploaded 😩👌🏻

Damn, this kinda reminds me of the survivalist. Good story telling fallout Really loves making super broken people 😂
