"Here we find a Raider who's completely oblivious! Must have been on a drug high." That moment a random AI bug is explained by ingame lore. 👏

You know what is terrifying? Stumbling upon this when you're level 5 like I did...

I guess Phil Swift was right, leaking pipes can cause MAJOR DAMAGE. Guess they didn't buy Flextape.

"Unrequited love is hard to go through, especially in a place that smells like crap, where you can't even take a crap!" My favorite line ever said by Oxhorn.

"Perfect spot for a mirelurk...nest" *HE KNOWS*

Bethesda should have you voice a fallout character in the next one

I think the guys at bethesda setting up this dungeon saw a opportunity to mess with the scripted events and ran with it and dang did they nail it!!

I think that “attic” room with the monkey is a reference to the author Stephen King. His short story collection “Skeleton Crew” has a story titled “The Monkey” and there is a cymbal monkey on the cover. Also, one of his characters, who was an author, wrote his stories in pencil. Finally, the author character in “It” wrote a story called “The Attic” based on his experiences with the creature.

Is it possible that it's actually the black-grey paint that is peeling and flaking off the dome, revealing the underlying gold leaf?

My favorite part of fallout 4 is saying "oh i've been there!" or "Hey that's like 45 minutes from my house!"

I stumbled into the State House at around level twelve. That Mirelurk Queen is a *mother* of a fight at that level. Ended it's completely out of stimpacks and ammo. Then had to take down the raider in PA with the bottlecap mine found in the building and an automatic pipe pistol taken off one of the raiders. Stumbled out, fast traveled back to Sanctuary, and built shacks until level 15.

PERFECT SPOT FOR A MIRELURK... place of living conditions where one or more may breed creating a new generation

I've been a Massachusetts resident for my entire life and I am learning ALL of these fun little tidbits about my state for the first time. Thanks Oxhorn.

The foot on the paper is a footnote, I'm pretty sure it's just a joke.

26:30 (cuts to spongebob rearranging the pencils on his desk from that one boating school episode)

Who else lost their shit when he started to say "Perfect spot for a mirelurk... nest"?

foot on paper? Just a foot note

I usually play your videos at night to go to sleep. Not because they are boring (their not), but is like a soothing storytime tale. Keep doing your videos, they're great.

18:03 i had no idea there was a little secret there. God, the fact that there are so many of these things hidden all over the map makes my skin itch cause i'll probably never see them all :(

PERFECT SPOT FOR A MIRELURK. nest.

+Oxhorn Actually the statue of Webster isn't leaning on a column. That "column" is a fasces, a bound bundle of wooden rods, symbolising (jurisdictional) authority and collective power. The symbol is of ancient roman (and possibly even of etruscan or even older) descent.

I love how it seems there are endless stories to be uncovered all throughout the Commonwealth at different times and places, it makes the game more fascinating and it keeps things interesting...

I honestly feel like this is among the coolest combat encounters in the game under one condition and that being BRING A FLAMER, It's so satisfying burning away the hordes of hatchlings in the tightly packed corridors, it feels like something straight outta Aliens, it's great

now that i think about it, i never go inside Massachusets State House in Fallout 4 or maybe i just forgot about it

I'm I the only person that predicted the Mirelurk queen in this place? I mean seriously, -Mirelurks and eggs everywhere -big wide open area with a perfectly centered pool of water in the middle Of course that's a boss fight arena..

I'm at my office desk secretly listening to this ;)

Hmm... Massachusetts state house... A perfect spot for a Mirelurk den.

9:38 "perfect spot for a mirelurk... nest"

Perfect spot for a Mirelurk.... nest lol

25:26 Raider: “I’ll find you” (continues to stair at wall)

If they were concerned about bombing then I guess it worked, I mean it didn't hit the building. Just everything else...

@24:05 That Mirelurk knew he should've made that left turn at Albuquerque.

The office with the pencils reminds of things I've seen from Saw and Dexter, but I haven't seen all of either, so maybe I'm projecting. I've definitely seen the pencil/pen thing a few times. It's usually used to indicate OCD-type personality. The Jet and the bones is what brings me back to Saw. 1 scene from 3(?) had someone manacled to a desk and had to cut their foot off to get out.

What if pickle juice is FEV and pickles are super mutants.

My takeaway from this is that politicians are resting on the back of old infrastructure while spending tax dollars on their pet projects. Then I look at our real world infrastructure. Suddenly, Fallout's pre-war corruption doesn't seem so unreasonable, sadly.

did it bother anyone else to see his rads

Don't worry Oxhorn one day you will get a perfectly preserved pre war pie.

8:17 '... in a place that smells like crap, where you can't even take a crap.' :D I love your Fallout 4 lore videos. They are awesome!

I believe Governor Graham was officially titled as “provisional Governor Graham”. I’m getting this from a conversation you have with the greeter at General atomics galleria, if you choose the sarcastic option, the sole survivor introduces themselves as the governor of Massachusetts, to which the Mr Handy greeter incredulously responds “Oh my, Provisional Governor Graham!” Just a fun extra fact

@Oxhorn At 26:08 i just chalk that room up to Raider shenanigans, them raiders aren't exactly right in the head you know Great video by the way

Oxhorn you need a t-shirt in your shop with 'Perfect spot for a mirelurk den'

X688: perfect spot for a mirelurk den Audience: WE KNOW

I love these videos because I'm personally not patient enough/invested enough to find all of this information on my own, thanks.

This was my first Mirelurk Queen encounter that wasn't at The Castle. Needless to say I almost threw my controller down because at the time I had no idea Mirelurk Queens spawned anywhere else and it scared the shit out of me.

You are by far the MOST ENTERTAINING fallout youtuber and informative and helpful person for this game ty so much for all your hard work on these videos plz never stop doing fallout videos

26:30 Spongebob? 3 different pencils, he can regrow hands

+Oxhorn, refer back to your video on the General Atomics Galleria. The Mr. Handy near the entrance refers to a "Provisional Governor Graham" when you use the Sarcastic response.

I really liked all the scripted events that take place here. I wish they had used more of those in other places.

I was watching this again and I then remembered that the day after it game came out I was in the statehouse exploring when the mirelurk queen in here jumped out it was my first ever encounter with one and I absolutely jumped out of my skin when it appeared

Is it just me or does St. Louis or Chicago sound like an amazing place for a Fallout game

Everybody is tickled shitless about the mirelurk den comment, I feel like maybe something went over my head.... Otherwise folks are super easily amused.

I’ve past by this location so many times in my gameplay as I’m constantly revisiting the Boston Common to either save Nick Valentine, Kill Swan or just walk past. I’ve sworn myself to visiting it every time and still Oxhorn makes a video of it before I even enter it! What joy!

OX, FOR ATOM SAKE, GIVE US THE FATHER ELIJAH VIDEO

perfect spot for an Oxhorn video

The more you learn of the world of fallout 4 just before the war it really blows my mind that Nate and Nora decided to have a kid at all

I love how at the crazy incidental sound (18:06), you can see his gaze dart around half panicked

Ok I got a confession, I never knew this place went this deep... I thought I explored this whole game with all my 8000hours in it, but seems I must have missed this place, or atleast the bigger portion of it, I must have gotten lost there and went back out. Never entered this place again, but NOW I certainly will! Thank you for this video, and all the History research that went into it!

*PERFECT SPOT FOR A MIRELURK DEN*

3:22 and here we find a Preston Garvey, still intact and breathing.

I think the small office with the monkey and pencils was a reference to the insurance guy in the incredibles

Hello and good to meet you sir. We are members of atom's witnesses and we would like to ask you, Would you want to spare a minute to talk about our lord and savior megaton bomb?

God bless Oxhorn and his family. Thank you for all your work Brother.

I've done about 8 different playthroughs, most being old characters being reused, each ending twice but choosing to be mean on one and nice on the other. I actually never knew you could go inside. I just thought it was another random place for the "Follow the Freedom Trail" quest. So this was pretty interesting to watch!

Just to add to the Governor discussion, the greeter Mr Handy at the General Atomics Galleria addresses you as "Provisional Governor Graham" when told sarcastically that you are the governor of Massachusetts. Given that their programming was unaltered since before the war, that must have been his official title.

Massachusetts State House... *PERFECT SPOT FOR A MIRELURK DEN/NEST*

Ox, I'm a recent subscriber (as of yesterday) and I absolutely love your content. I've recommended your videos to friends looking to get into the Fallout series as a way to introduce them to the world Bethesda created, and I'm a huge fan of your settlement videos. On that topic, I was wondering if you've ever considered doing a series where you build up settlements rather than showing off the completed locations. Settlement building was the feature I was most excited about, but it felt like a huge letdown when I actually got my hands on the game. If you could to a guide series on how to effectively use the construction system, I and many others would be grateful. And on the topic of the State House, I only got as far as the first mirelurk hatchlings before I noped my level 7 character out of there and never went back.

That body you found when the weird creepy sounds. That was the governor's body, the lieutenant governor killed him and stuffed his body there.

Awesome videos! you do a great job at telling the stories of the fallout series digging deep into the lore piecing things together which most people who play through the fallout series dont even pay attention too keep up the good work.

Dude! You're like SteamPunk Mr. Rogers! Love your videos!

Hey Oxhorn i know you say you read all your comments but i don't know if you'll see this as this isn't the most recent video. Also this is kinda long. The important thing is here a plaque outside the state house, and i think it provides insight into the whole of fallout history. On it it seems to imply that the 13 commonwealths were formed in 1969 and given the commonwealth flag being in the Washington dc museum of science's representation of the virgo lander making fallout's first moon landing on July 15th 1969 it has to have been earlier that year. however the question still remains why? What would get america to make this change were they scared before 1969? Another thing of note in fallout America claims to have gotten a man into space first( may 5th 1961) The soviets and Chinese deny that possibly because in real life Yuri Gagarin did it on april 20th 1961. perhaps america thinks the soviets lied. However america in fallout makes its moon Virgo III Lander Valiant 12 landing 5 days before the real life apollo 11 landing. The following is pure speculation but it does provide a good motive. It you want you could use this as a basis for a video because its like one of the biggest questions about the divergence. Perhaps biggest change was not the lack of the transistor But in fact the time the world almost ended in 1963 The Cuban missile crisis. Perhaps there was a small conflict surrounding the cuban missle crisis but no nukes were launched and while horrific it wasn't enough to actually turn into world war 3. However the fighting still could've terrified the world to the point where both America and the Soviets made massive reforms. Reforms that 6 years later lead to a new system that weakens state power via the 13 commonwealths. Meanwhile the soviet reforms might be why they survived past 1991 and all the way to 2077 where they seem to have friendly relations with the US perhaps the soviets became more of democratic socialists (somewhat like the nordic countries but a little more weighted towards the socialism aspect.) As it is socialism but its not communism and is democratic enough to end the hate between the two nations. China on the other hand wouldn't be involved and this could mean Nixon never had to be friendly with china. Meaning china never made the reforms it has today. Explaining why one of the premade vault 13 residents can be related to a soviet diplomat and why china becomes the one to start the resource wars. Because america never opened up trade with it and then denied it the last unclaimed oil in the world. The us and china weren't friends but they didn't hate each other yet. Then china just as starved for oil as the rest of the world asks america to share ,and Regardless whether its out of political differnces or the fact that America really needed the oil as well says no. Justified or not this enrages china. So they are left with a decision ironicly much like their enemy the Japanese had in 1941. Die from lack of oil or gain oil at any cost. China Decided to fight to survive invading alaska and plunging the world into a war that would eventually end with china losing on all fronts against a vengeful and ruthless america. So begins the Great war.

My dad new the last governor of Massachusetts and when he left I go to see him do the long walk from in the state house. What a cool connection

Congrats on 300k, Oxhorn!

I like the irony of those who claim to embody democracy turning around and ignoring democracy every chance they get - and then accusing those who protest and want them to honor democracy of being communists. It's all over Prewar America in the Fallout Universe. As much as they go on about democracy, they don't really seem to be very democratic at all. Also, there's no real indication that the treasurer was actually "eyeing" the position of governor for himself - that's possibly just Graham's projection, basically what he would be doing in Robert's place.

Gotta be honest Ox, i have 550 hours on fallout 4 and I had no idea this building was a thing until now

I love how he is talking about the queen like she is really dangerous but it only took 3-5 shots for him to kill it

I would've assumed that the assistant governor killed and stuffed the real governors body in the sewage drain. That's what made it back up and give it the smell.

"Perfect spot for a mirelurck... nest" ~ Oxhorn 2017

I just found a minor issue with the lever action rifle in this video it shows it firing a spitzer (pointed) bullet and the 45-70 round is not because it was created before spitzer bullets where invented and in the tube magazine in a level action rifle the point of the bullet would be resting against the primer of the bullet in front of it in the tube and when fired the recoil would cause a chain fire in the tube destroying the gun it's a nit picky complaint I know but still

one thing to note is that if you choose an sarcastic option with the greeter robot at the general atomics galleria you state that you are the governor, the greeter mr. handy proceeds to call you "provisional governor graham"

Yeah, that Mirelurk Queen and legendary mirelurk along with the raiders on the other side of that door was a very nasty surprise for me on my second playthrough. I noped out of there after the first time I died. Thank goodness I saved before jumping down! lol

Dear oxhorn I have been watching and enjoying mind you, you're way of describing fallout is.. I cant even think of a word to describe it but it is fantastic I always wanted to know all these things from the boomers of New Vegas all the way to fo4 lore and you brought us that. I thank you good sir. Yours sincerely Eddie Morrison (I thought id write the comment like this because I wanted to show you how much we appreciate your work. Thank you Ox)

You can find this place when on the trail for the railroad.

great commentary, keep up the great work bro. when I'm bored I love watching your videos and getting to hear a great story every time.

Thanks for all your hard work of getting footage and narrate all of these videos oxhorn! Keep doing what you´re doing cuz its awesome! i fall asleep like a baby every time i put one of your playlists on, with my baby daughter beside me :)

Not really related to the video but I just thought about this. Why blow up the institutes base after you have killed everyone inside? Why not just use it for whatever faction you sided with or to actually help the commonwealth?

31:10 assassins fallout?

That thing at the desk might be a reference to the scene from back to the future 2 when Marty sneaks into his principal’s office to get the sports almanac and he both hurts his hand and hides under his desk

10:00 I love it when you shoot a mierlurk and the face comes clean off.

*Enters building* *Sees mierlurks* I already hate this place!!

Oxhorn I don't want you to envy me but when I tried the first time with the port-a-diner in Diamond City at the Dogout Inn I got the perfectly preserved pie qnd I had only like 4 points in luck!!!

Maybe the teddy bears in Fallout really can move around like the mannequins supposedly do?

the Massachusetts State house is the best single cell I've seen in the game thus far. It legit freaked me out while I was playing last week, and I haven't seen it in the year I have been playing.

if you want to get the perfect pie, u need to max out your luck and wear luck boosting clothing and xcell

Oxhorn can you do a video on the New Vegas quest Wang Dang Atomic Tango?Please?

I'm thinking that the figure we see in the thumbnail casting a shadow on the wall might be what's left of Governor Graham himself, but after 210 years.

The pencils on the desk make me think of the tiny insurance boss from the 1st Incredibles. “Why what? Be specific Bob?”

Love the video oxhorn congrats 300k subs 👍😋

P E R F E C T S P O T F O R A M I R E L U R K D E N

Great video Oxhorn! I visited Massachusetts State House a few days ago and got the crap scared out of me by the mirelurks and the mirelurk queen. I've been wanting to know about it since I visited. Again, great vid.

Sunglasses, a hat and that cigarette on your character gives off a very cool Hunter S. Thompson vibe.
