You don't need to worry about not playing the games. This is not a direct adaptation of any of them in particular. The show takes place after all the games. It's basically fallout 5.

Less than 3 minutes to call Walton Goggins "daddy", seems about right.

"The Bear is not dead. One head is dead but the second still wants to fight."

"okie dokie" is just a Lucy thing, not a thing from the games. But Vault Dwellers tend to be pretty naïve so it fits.

One of the things I love most about the show is how the creators went all in on the game's more fantastical mechanics. The health packs (stimpaks), ghouls, vaults, so on and so forth. They don't try to explain any of it or change it to something more realistic. They instead go full in on the fact that this is just how things work. I love it.

They did a great job showing newcomers to the franchise, how this world works. You will start getting it once you finish the season. You will love it.

Simping for the Ghoul immediately is so valid!!! I love Walton Goggins so I couldn't resist him even when he doesn't have a nose. His Rizz is unmatched!! The show is great overall and all the actors portraying the characters are really talented and passionate!!

This show is f--king Insane! Please enjoy 😊

The style is "Future retro"...Basically, what the 50's and 60's would have imagined the future to be. In the Fallout universe, the microprocessor and microchip were never invented, and technology stayed chunky with vacuum tubes

the term is "retro-futuristic". Kinda the type of future people of the 50's envisioned when they thought of atomic power and robots. the world of Fallout deviated from our "timeline" roughly after WWII (theoretically the transistor was never invented, so the Pip-Boy is that worlds answer to our smartphone) and the bombs dropped in 2077 in the game world. Some of the humor involves stuff "implied" but not explicitly stated in the games, such as "cousin stuff". Basically when you have a fixed population living in an enclosed space for a few generations, it only stands to reason at some point everyone is related to everyone else.

It's the year 2077,but the world is stuck in a 1950 vibe,in this alternate universe they never invented the microchip it's all vacuum tubes. 2077 at the start then jump ahead

In the Brotherhood of Steel, one common path of promotion would be: Initiate Aspirant Squire Knight Paladin Some Squires become Scribes instead of Knights.

As a fan of the games I love how the series is bringing new people to the games but still respecting the fans and what they would like to see, and even if I don’t agree with all their decisions I understand that’s because of the story they want to tell and the medium they are using to tell it, and that they are not doing it with the intention to insult the fans, it feels like people that enjoyed the games made it

Still suprised no one has made a Full Monty joke but im glad you like the show! Huge game and show fan here.

"I still have a crush on him, is that wrong?" Lol...not according to like 75% of the internet. 🤣🤣 Good reaction. That was fun! You're super-insightful (especially for someone with no experience with this franchise) and I dig your sense of humor. I look forward to seeing more!

Between the Cash reference, the love you also seem to hold for the music & everything in game so far & your genuine reaction - I had to subscribe.. I was a backseat player to my son, playing FO3, then again for New Vegas.. by the time FO4 came out, he was in his teens & right before he went to his Dads house, he handed the controller over to me & said, Mom I know you dont play FPS, but you have been playing this game with me, since I was lil. I expect you to be further along than I am right now, by the time I get back. I objected as I really am so bad at playing FPS, that its hilarious.. But that didn't stop me& my own FO obsession started. I also am totally OCD in games, cant walk by a container I won't loot; naturally I was much further than he was. He was so happy. He is now in his mid 20s & to this day FO is one of the many things keeping us close hahaha. I also passed on my lifelong love of Johnny Cash & Rockabilly (Psychobilly , Punk etc) onto both of my kids. Anyways glad your channel popped up under recommended channels. Cant wait for your next video/ installment. And yes, I too, am obsessed with this series & uhm we may have to share the 🤠 😂😂😂

you know that a show is well written if you can get stuff (health packs) without knowing the game, and if it gives you enough clues to predict/what's happening (they're riders and not vault 32). and the violence is, like in the game, over the top and that makes it funny.

Not only are those syringes the healing items in the game, they’re also commonly found in bathrooms lol. I literally got up from my chair like Leonardo DiCaprio and fkn shouted “STIMPAK IN THE BATHROOM WOOO!!”

I really wish they had started with a title card that said, "Los Angeles, California Sunday, 23rd October 2077" I think that they were counting on everybody knowing the date from the games, but, like you, many people are watching the show with no prior experience in the games. Lucy's interview with the council occurs sometime in 2296.

As a diehard Fallout fan for over 10 years now, you very much reminded me of how I felt when I was first exposed to this franchise and I love it. 😂 It's so faithful to the Fallout that I've loved and I'm always happy to see new people be introduced to it, hope you enjoy the ride!

Three most tragic weddings ever. (3) Lucy's wedding to Monty (2) The red wedding (1) My wedding to my ex, which left me tragically married to my ex.

If someone ISNT in love with Walton Goggins (our baby boy ghouly) they are dead to me. He is the purest soul on this earth.

It's such a great series! They did an incredible job of faithfully recreating the dark, quirky, retro in-game universe, while not making lore literacy a barrier to understanding the show. It's also been wonderful to see so many new folks discovering Fallout, from the streaming numbers of the series to the staggering number of new players in 76 and Fallout 4. 😊

I'm so happy that we seem to be entering an era of genuinely good videogame adaptations. The Halo show may have been a dud, but we've had Edgerunners, The Last of Us, the Mario movie, and now this. Four good adaptations in 2 years, it's unheard of!

Hope you're strapped in. You're in for one hell of a ride, lol!

There is an option in the later games called "Bloody Mess" that you could turn on and off. It is turned on for this playthrough...

15:06 You must have missed it, but those drawings were made BY HAND. Coordinates were sent via audio over radio, and a radio operator drew the drawings using a ruler and graph paper/

"Get that jelly mold outta here!" Funniest thing I've heard in months!! So happy you're checking out this show - it's also exactly what I needed right now. Can't wait until season 2!

Ghoul's are an element of the games. They are people who have been exposed to low doses of radiation over long periods of time. Most people die from radiation poisoning, but some people have a genetic mutation that causes them to become radiation resistant, and practically immortal (though they can be killed). Eventually all ghouls "go feral" where they can no longer think rationally and start acting like traditional zombies, hungry for brains...

So hype to see you experience this! Looking forward to your smart and witty commentaries

Fallout 3, 4 and Fallout New Vegas games were wonderful. They followed the lore pretty well, so I loved watching this and yes there are easter eggs.

I'm glad new people are into this since new games only appeal to players base mostly. The intro you see is like the 90's never happened and the 80's continued its trend

I like the condensed format of this video. normally I don't like when something gets chopped up too much but these episodes are long and there are so many reactions of this show that because its so saturated your video stands out as being so much better.

As a fan of the games and the show, I have watched quite a few “reviews” of the show, also from “first timers” to the world of Fallout and I’d like to say that your opinions of the show is the most articulate and accurate review I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have realized that a lot of reviewers say a ton of words, but they lack much meaning and understanding. Your review is good

Every time a fave reaction channel finishes this show, I manage to find a new one who's just starting it. You're in for a ride, lol

Great reaction. IMHO the best game to movie/series adaptation yet made. The tone was so on point. I look forward to seeing you finish the series. Welcome to Fallout.🥳

Loading 76 for the first time while watching your vid 😄

I love watching your reaction to one of my favorite things that being fallout. Ive played the games since the first one in 1998. I play fallout 76 with my grown kids and nearly grown grandkids. I think you would like the game, but i will eagerly wait for your reaction to the next episode.

for context since the show doesn’t explain the historical background: The Fallout universe consists of an alternate timeline that split from our own timeline after WW2. The simple word to describe this setting is ‘retrofuturism’. A time where the transistor was never invented and vacuum tubes continued being used. Atomic power was fully-embraced as a limitless source of power and thus became used in every manner, from nuclear-powered cars to robots, to simple kitchen equipment. Historical context for better understanding of the intro: The beginning of the show is set in October 23rd 2077, the day the Great War happened which is the catalyst of the Fallout universe. But let’s go back a few years. By 2052, important resources such as petroleum and uranium became scarce and so the Resource Wars began between the European Commonwealth and the various Arab nations in the Middle East. Other nations quickly followed suit such as the US declaring war on Mexico and annexing Canada into its territory for easier access to Alaska’s oil fields, in case of a land invasion done by China (Side note: In the Fallout universe, the main world players are the US and China; the USSR became a weaker nation after WW2 in this timeline). After decades of fighting throughout the world, it was deemed that Alaska became the last place left on earth for petroleum extraction. And so in January 2066, China invaded Alaska, starting the Sino-American War, which would eventually end with the Liberation of Anchorage and thus, an American victory by the start of 2077. After a couple months of relative peace, on October 23rd of 2077, the Great War began (the beginning of the show happens here). In only 2 hours, every superpower in possession of nuclear weapons began bombing each other, leaving nothing but destruction and a devastating nuclear winter that will last for decades to come.

they are playing basketball with bricks because they are practising throwing grenades

8:43 no need to apologize! It's not back ally twisted of you to enjoy it. You got the entire point of the show!! You wouldn't believe the number of reactors I've seen take this show seriously! It's supposed to be funny in a Deadpool sort of way. There are a few heartstring moments, but those are obvious. If they're playing fun music, it's ok to laugh:-)!

Nice reaction. It's an alternative timeline based on an atomic future with a permanant 50's culture haha. Basically, Kilby's microchips and the microprocessor was never a thing so tech was made BIG lol. They did a great job all round, really captured the dark humour.

hell yeah, another reactor to ride along with! Enjoy the show. My favorite character is also The Ghoul. I think you'll wanna play the games after this, they're just as silly and horrific as this show is. Fallout is something special. If you like westerns and decide to play the games, start with New Vegas.

Welcome to the wasteland my friend! Also, hope you're going be ready for what's to come! Fallout is apparently Retrofunk (Stuck in 50' futuristic vibe), and everybody (Even me, a dude) is having a crush on The Ghoul.

Never played the game, but I loved the show

You're not the only one who fancies some ghoul action it would seem.

Same. I never played the game but this series left me drooling for more. I knew a little about the game but regardless, the series is so well done. The music is oddly addictive. Such a great story

You were really fun to watch! Your unfamiliarity with the story was interesting because I have played a few of the games, and you were on the money with so much of it like the stimpak (the thing Lucy jabs into herself). It's also just refreshing because I haven't seen something in the fantasy/sci-fi genre in awhile for a show that just does such a good job of endearing to an audience unfamiliar with the universe. Things clearly make sense and you perceive really well! Overall, I like that you weren't noticing all the references but still pointed out a lot of fun little lore things that they don't spell out. It's a super fun world that is comical and funny on its surface but hides a very dramatic, dark, and morose setting. Can't wait to see you watch the next episode! And I hope you do try out a game or two.

Def should watch The Storyteller Fallout by Shoddycast. It’s a series on KZfaq which covers the fallout lore in depth.

Honcho is Bubba from Forrest Gump! 😀

Im so glad you like this. Youre reaction is very entertaining. If you like an open world game you should try fallout 4. Same exact feel as the show and you can easily sink hundreds of hours into the game. And even though its oldish the show hype and made the developers give the game a fresh update.

Great reaction! If you encounter someone who considers the Brotherhood the good guys, and there are plenty- consider it a red flag.

It’s amazing. I’m glad you’re on the wagon.

In the Military there is difference between violence and VIOLENCE. Latter is what kills/destroys/makes subjects weaker.

Yup, I hate pickles too.

No not all vaults are connected. Only these 3 vaults connect as far as we know.

You'd probably get along with Hancock from Fallout 4.

Lucy is from "Yellowjackets"

i hate pickles also , cant even take them off a burger and it taste ok

Leave brokeball alone, sometimes kids only have bricks and an imagination 😭😂

In the game there's so many different vaults like there's one where their agenda was plants, but an experiment went wrong and they got taken over by plant monsters. Another is clones of a guy who only says the word "Gerry". They are all different and there's a lot. I hope aliens enter the show eventually too.

I played Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4 - can't remember "okie dokie" to be a line in the games.

No one (Gamers) knows what the story is. It's a new adventure in the same universe in the game with it's rule, eggs. Otherwise we it's just as fresh to gamers as it is to non-gamers.

Not steampunk, atompunk.

It’s retrofuturism not steampunk. Steampunk is the future imagined from the perspective of people in the late 1800s. Retrofuturism is the future imagined from the perspective of people in the hopeful 50s.

Thought your intro was great

5:02 & 6:15 Maybe you should tone it a bit, given the circumstances.

hate to tell you this but you ARE trapped in a structured routine life. people in the vaults just dont have to pay rent or pay for food. they have it better.
