War STILL Hasn't Changed | Fallout 1x1 "The End" REACTION | Fallout Fan & Newcomer

So, apparently EVERYONE took Bloody Mess in this adaptation!!
New characters, new Vaults, and a brand new missing-family-member quest to propel a Vault Dweller into the Wasteland. Fallout is one of my favourite IPs ever, and so far the show is doing it justice! We can't wait to see where this season takes us.

21:42 Review & Breakdown

[@Christienne86]

I had so many of the exact same reactions! Arms in the air, yelling out every little thing I saw from the games. By the time I screamed JUNK JET! at the top of my lungs, my neighbors must have thought I was nuts, hahaha

[@honest_cake]

The Junk Jet is worth losing your mind over, I couldn’t believe they included it 🥲 The fan service is sooo good, and not at the expense of the overall show!

[@TehIdiotOne]

So without going into spoilers, these specific vaults (31, 32 and 33) are connected underground. On a different note, I have to say, as a first time viewer of the channel, the guy is *very* observant, level 10 perception skills here.

[@honest_cake]

I’m really excited for the show to dig deeper into what’s going on with these Vaults (if they don’t I riot). And thanks haha! I do love maxing out Perception ;)

[@TheOnyxSpy]

Don't forget her perception skills as well, picking out Rico as Lucy's brother as soon as he was on screen. Bro doesn't get nearly as much love as he should for this role.

[@pattycarljackson]

I was thinking the same, so many aren’t observant at all and just talk over the show or look away and miss a bunch of stuff.

[@fxbear]

Dude, your beard is absolutely flawless. I remember mine looking like that and being so soft. Grey is course.

[@honest_cake]

Appreciate it 😁 and right back at you going off the photo!

[@Redhead_bastard]

oh my god what?? I was hoping that you would do a reaction to Fallout, but thats actually happening? yeeeyy im here for it

[@honest_cake]

You bet I’m doing Fallout!! I’ve missed this series so much, good to be back.

[@orvillekidder9901]

The "Bloody Mess" perk is turned on in this show.

[@honest_cake]

I’m sure Lucy appreciated that bonus damage in that one scene…

[@Generic_Man]

The airship is the Caswennan.

[@TehIdiotOne]

Yeah it makes sense it's a different airship than the Prydwen, i was just of the impression that it was a massive investment for the Brotherhood, so a little bit surprised they apparently have atleast another one.

[@elvisibra]

It says: Prydwen on its starboard side. 🤷 Maybe is The Class name, instead of Ship name. ​@@TehIdiotOne

[@TehIdiotOne]

@@elvisibra So i googled around, apparently this *is* meant to be the same Prydwen that we see in FO4. Which is a bit strange to me, since i vaguely remember that it gets destroyed in multiple of the endings of FO4. Not to mention that one was under the control of the Capital Wasteland chapter of the Brotherhood.

[@filthycasual8187]

@@elvisibra I think they just reused the in-game model and retextured it, but forgot to redo the normal maps.

[@ElMatt2025]

@@TehIdiotOne In the chapter one of the initiates says what the brotherhood does here. He talks about the Brotherhood of Capital Wasteland, apparently Maxon came to join forces or something.

[@yannhollister9091]

Gucy is my favorite character so far, she's awesome

[@honest_cake]

Agreed 🪿🪿🪿

[@Vipre-]

Probably remembered by now but they did mention his name at the beginning during the "alimony" scene. Cooper Howard.

[@honest_cake]

Indeed remembered now! Though in episodes two and three we were both still unsure what his name was haha

[@danhelphrey6260]

They DID give the Ghoul's human name in beginning, but he is never called by it except in flashback scenes.

[@honest_cake]

Missed it! (And missed it in the next parts, oops)

[@Ferdawoon]

12:15 - "That's Renna from the Wheel of Time I think" Yes it is! And now I need to check your channel to see if you have reactions to that show as well! Love that show and been reading and re-reading the books so hoping you have videos up for that! EDIT: Having checked your backlog of videos, no Wheel of Time.. If Mare(?) haven't seen them it would be fun if you did a reaction to those episodes as well! Need to scratch my WoT itch until S3 drops..

[@honest_cake]

Yeah, sadly no WoT videos yet. Up until now I've mostly done Let's Plays on the channel, but I've been having fun with these reactions so definitely planning to do some Season 3 videos. I read WoT back when I was 12 (probably a bit too young...) and it is absolutely my favourite book series. I've got a nitpick here and there about the show, but overall Mare and I both love it. I need Season 3 ASAP. Hope you've been enjoying the re-read!

[@elvisibra]

Caswennan, but in the scene from the side (kids smoking perspective) during landing, it has Prydwen written starboard.

[@TehIdiotOne]

Apparently it's been confirmed that's the actual Prydwen, the same airship as FO4.

[@honest_cake]

Confirmed Prydwen?? Daaang, interesting. Glad to see she’s still in one piece 🥲

[@elvisibra]

@@honest_cake Yes. If you played FO4 you know it has multiple endings (depending who you join) whike for continuation of the timeline, creators chose logical (regarding strength and capabilities) endings.

[@MangoMann072]

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

[@bigyeticane]

When I got this assignment I was hoping there'd be more gambling.

[@bunnitomoe3866]

Well, be carefull what you wish for trooper, cause you got the former done... rip Shady Sands

[@honest_cake]

I was lucky enough to go to the Mojave recently and honestly? Yeah 😂

[@Aeolusdallas]

There is a blink and you miss it moment where you see a map of the three vaults connected together in a triangle

[@Suomioz78]

Hi guys. Love your reaction. Your conversations are a joy to watch. On my one visit to the US was staying with a family in Santa Monica for 2 weeks. (Fallout player)

[@honest_cake]

Nice!! I love visiting game locations in real life, currently trying to plan a trip to Acadia National Park (Far Harbor). Thanks for watching :)

[@orengle485]

Very excited to see all the reviews! Really like this new form of content from you! She's also a fun vibe!!

[@honest_cake]

Thanks a bunch! :) First time doing something like this so there’s a bit of a learning curve but having fun. And yep, she is the best 😇

[@Branwhin]

Oh yeah. I came into the Fallout 'verse with 3, played the absolute HECK out of that one, and also love 4. This is ... *chef's kiss* ... it's magnificent. I also adore the simultaneous kitchy ultra-retro hilarity and horrific violence and death, for some weird reason. (IRL, though, um, can we NOT and say we didn't? Please?) This is so much fun and I'm enjoying both of your reactions. Oh, and the doggo is beyond adorable.

[@dcoder6404]

You kids are adorable. With no spoilers, I can say that I never played any of the games, and I binged the whole season and it was - completely - awesome. You are gonna have a ball watching. After, I downloaded Fallout 4 from Steam and am playing through that on the PC. The game is a hoot, but the show is even better. I look forward to rewatching it along with you. Cheers.

[@honest_cake]

So glad to hear the show got you to pick up the game, Fallout 4 was so impactful for me (my first Fallout game). The show is killing it, I can’t wait to keep watching.

[@Shadow_Wolf3490]

It is indeed The Prydwen. If you zoom in on a shot of the ship it says Prydwen

[@honest_cake]

I saw that zoomed in photo recently, took me by surprise. For a second I wonder if it was a mistake, but there’s no way they didn’t leave that on purpose. Glad to see her in one piece after so long!

[@philliphughes8939]

These vaults were connected underground. They each had their own harvesting

[@honest_cake]

Very keen on learning more about what’s going on with these Vaults, never expected conjoined Vaults

[@rromano158]

Yes, they did mention The Ghoul's name in the beginning scenes when the one guy asks the other guy, "Why is Cooper Howard doing kid's birthday parties?"

[@EccentricGentelman]

When she was about to leave the vault, Norm should have said something like "Do you want to change anything?"

[@honest_cake]

LMAO 😂 Even just a subtle nod to that would have been hilarious.

[@wannabegeek519]

Season 2 already has the green light!

[@honest_cake]

Let’s goooo! So good to hear.

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The show's composer is Ramin Djawadi who is most famous for creating the music for Game of Thrones, but he also did the music for Jonathan Nolan's two previous tv projects - Person of Interest & Westworld.🙂

[@honest_cake]

I haven’t fully watched those shows (episodes here and there) but I’m familiar with some of the soundtracks, they’re great! Glad they pulled such a talented composer.

[@thisishowitallends9321]

Never thought I’ll see a day watching Rogan on full screen 😂

[@honest_cake]

Don’t worry, it’s weird for me too 😳

[@GrayAlchemyst]

Ooh he be thumbnailing!

[@honest_cake]

Nail that thumb 💅

[@baguioblues6350]

love your reaction to this. also...huge props to the way of kings leatherbounds on the shelf! my fave book.

[@honest_cake]

Ayy love that you caught that! I just backed for the Words of Radiance leatherbound (my favourite Brando book) and I’m so excited for it

[@baguioblues6350]

@@honest_cake backed the digital secret project as shipping to where i'm at is another $50 on top of the WoR leatherbound. ultimate goal is the complete SA leatherbounds though. as to fallout, i'm new to this world...i bought the games a couple of years ago but have not gotten around to playing them yet. i guess, i'll finally get to them this year. here's to hoping i love it. :)

[@namechamps]

There is official confirmation of season 2.

[@Emfleaa]

Love your reactions!! It’s so fun to watch a fallout fan enjoy it!!

[@honest_cake]

Thanks so much! I’m still only on episode 3 as we’ve been a bit busy, I can’t believe there’s still so much of the show left to enjoy. It’s sooo good

[@nokta7373]

Good vibes in this reaction, you guys should consider branching out and reacting to more shows 💙

[@honest_cake]

We just might, down the road! Thanks :)

[@claudioguzman8899]

If you MOVING you need to take that out, Jesus people don’t know 😂

[@rafaelflorez6446]

They did mention the ghoul's name at the beginning, when the birthday boy's father was commenting on why Cooper Howard was working birthday parties...

[@brianking581]

This has been one of the better reviews I've seen.👍

[@honest_cake]

Thanks! :) I can’t wait to keep going with the show, it’s so good

[@TheOnyxSpy]

Noticing Rico immediately? Already y'all are underrated as reactors, and I'm less than 5 minutes in!

[@honest_cake]

Haha thanks! Big Rico fans over here 😁

[@Danileith123]

Cool. I was hopeful you were going to do this. Will you be doing all of them? Edit: beard still on point.

[@honest_cake]

Definitely doing them all! It’ll probably be a bit spaced out because of editing time (still cursing Amazon for dropping all 8 episodes at once…)

[@laigron7884]

Great reaction. Lucy definitely is not thirty i would say that 24 max. :D cant imagine she would not be raised to be married young. Bethesda was very involved Ted Howard was producent. On and they mentionet Ghouls name Cooper Howard.

[@honest_cake]

I think what threw me off is Norm looking a bit older, and he’s being portrayed as a younger sibling (I think? He might actually be older?) but 24 for Lucy makes sense otherwise!

[@youperguy]

Great job

[@bedinor]

It's the actual Prydwen Prydwen

[@Dr.HooWho]

Yes theres a season 2 but its a spoiler so its best to watch the whole thing and you'll know what season 2 will be about.

[@honest_cake]

Ooo… I love a good tease. Looking forward to it!

[@bish-0-p]

Oh man, this is a pleasant surprise. Your playthrough of HFW is by far my favorite to watch, can't wait to see what you guys think of this show.

[@honest_cake]

I’m having so much fun with the show, I’ve missed Fallout so much 😍 appreciate the support!

[@kentbarnes1955]

Nice to see a true Fallout fan give confirmation this is a good show. Maybe the track record of "adaptations" are changing for the better. Gives me hope for the future "Horizon" franchise series. Thanks for an "honest" review (sorry...couldn't resist)

[@honest_cake]

I believe you are the first person to make that specific pun and I love it, thank you 😂 It’s incredible how far video game adaptations have come and how they’re starting to be perceived, hopeful indeed for the Horizon show!

[@DoomMonkey8]

I hope you guys watch and post more videos on this show!

[@honest_cake]

That’s the plan! We’re on episode 3 as I type this and it’s taking all my willpower not to just blow through them all at once

hi whats ur upload schedule i have been waiting for your next reaction to this show pls

I’m travelling right now, but should be back to uploading next week. I’m still getting used to editing this kind of video, so they’re gonna be a bit spaced out. But I appreciate the support! :)

[@garfnob4832]

thanks for spooling the show with the vault experiment talk. :P

[@honest_cake]

My bad! I think I took that aspect for granted as it’s a well-known part of the world, but if course it would be played up as a mystery in the show. I hope I didn’t ruin anything too much 😞 sorry!

[@garfnob4832]

@@honest_cake is OK. just remember the show is attracting people that know nothing about the games :) P.S. i am not one of them i was just trying to protect the youngsters.

[@KellyKMc]

What is your little black dog’s name? It looks like she needs to be involved in everything.

[@honest_cake]

Sombra! And that is an accurate assessment 😂

[@EdwardVonKhil]

If you are going to be moving around, then you absolutely should REMOVE a sharp object from your stomach, unless you want to perforate the rest of your inner organs! The advice to "not remove a sharp object from your upper body" is only advisable, if you're going to lay absolutely still, and wait for help (help that you know for sure is coming)! This myth that you should leave sharp objects in your "innards" while jumping around and running, is ill advised and deadly!

[@JackMellor498]

That intro is legitimately a great TV opener. So many great shots. 2:37 stands out. It looks like a still image taken right out of the games, and it’s so poignant with the Howard and his daughter watching the end of the world before them, whilst everyone’s oblivious and distracted by the TV. Amazing shot. Unrealistic explosions though. Not because of the CGI, but considering nuclear explosions are real you’d think movies and TV shows would be able to do them right, but here? No thermal pulse of intense heat at that distance which would probably burn our characters where they stood if not dead then severely, the flash of it doesn’t immediately blind Janey as it would do. Otherwise a great intro!

[@honest_cake]

That one shot was breathtaking, it sums up Fallout and the setting so well. I’m so glad they crafted such a powerful opener, I’m sure it hooked many people unfamiliar with the games. And yeah, Janey is so blind after that 😂

[@seanbumstead1250]

Actually it has been told finally from the game designers it was vault tec that started it

[@honest_cake]

That happened?! I need to catch up on my Fallout news. I know there was info about that from a scrapped project/game, but didn’t know there was anything beyond that. But interesting!

[@SupernovaOrange]

Fallout monopoly is such a thematically perfect pairing

[@sjfs231]

[@cliveklg7739]

It wasn't China or the "U.S." that launched the nukes. The show answers who.
