Having played Fallout since the first one back in late 90's, I'd say this show is pretty good. It managed to capture the spirit of the franchise with a brand new story.

Imagine asking questions and speculating and getting it all wrong cause you weren't paying attention as the show is explaining the answers to your questions, and then being confused.

I think if you're going to pose questions and talk to the person beside you, maybe it's best to pause first. You were clearly missing obvious details due to not paying attention. "Is this the real outside?" threw me off a bit.

You two arrive at the wrong conclusion a lot. You might need to rewatch every episode so you can pay attention.

We can all see it in her face.. 6:23 "Shut up Trixy stop asking me questions, that will spoil the surprises that are coming your way" AARRrrgghhh!!

This show takes place about 9 years after Fallout 4.

True, there was a bit of a 50s revival in the 80s, but that opening scene categorically is not 80s style!

"is this the real outside" 5 min after they clearly show a projector... "what does the T stand for" "v After which, it is your most sacred duty to protect the mission. After which, it is your most sacred duty to protect your lord Knight Titus." TITUS. T.

Trixy it's not a dome. didn't you see the projector. It's a projection onto the wall. The corn is real.

The picture of the dog was included so it would be easier to identify him. A guy who looks like that with a dog that looks like that. They don't have to kill the dog, it's just there so they know how the guy's dog looks like, and if they see the dog, the guy can't be far away. The target is the guy.

The aesthetics are more 1950's and sci fi. The 50's were the start of the cold war. People actually built bomb shelters in their backyards. Yes a nuclear explosion can kill you at a great distance. Either at the time of the explosion or after due to radiation. There is actually an atomic weapon called a neutron bomb. It kills organic organisms like people but doesn't damage buildings or the landscape. I'm not sure what it will do to plants.

Just want to mention that the nukes of the Fallout universe seem to work differently than the nukes of the real world, perhaps given their significantly more advanced nuclear science, so it's entirely possible their nukes actually work the way we saw in the first few minutes.

“So 80s”

My question in episode 1 was why Lucy didn't start looting everything of value when she got out. That is what I did when first played Fallout 3. The Enclave was the remains of the US Government. The Brotherhood was what is left of the the US Military. They both hate each other.

The nuclear bombs in Fallout are smaller in yield than what we have in reality. Also, the nuclear bombs in Fallout are very dirty (lots of radiation). As far as the families in the vaults, in the setting of this show, they've been in the vault for 219 years with periodic exchanges of people from other vaults for genetic diversity. After 219 years stuck in the same vault and even with trading people every few years from the other two vaults, lots of the people are going to be some level of "cousin" relations. Raiders are the descendants of the people who didn't get to vaults and who have survived by any/all means necessary on the surface since the bomb drops. The vaults have massive blast doors keeping them protecting them from anything on the surface.

The main narration in all the games is "War. War never changes". That line isn't said until the final episode here. Even after a nuclear apocalypse, humans still wage war including using nukes. This was like watching something with a non-nerd girlfriend. LOL. "Why is this", "What happened" 🤣

Trixy Blue will be happy to learn that she can play her main character as "Blue" in FO4. In that game she can choose any name she wants. However, if she chooses to travel with a certain Companion, that companion will always call her "Blue" no matter what name she initially chose. Its because of the main character's blue jumpsuit. And the nickname stays even when you change your clothes to a different color.

"It's so 80'9ies but..." 🤣🤣

They showed the projector.

The enclave is the remnants of the government, in a way.

Only one of the girls is a real gamer 😂

NON-SPOILER BACKGROUND: It is an alternate-timeline Easth with nuclear war starting in the 2070s and then 239 years later. The style of the show comes from 1950's (NOT 1980s) America with music taken from what was acceptable before that horrible Rock and Roll music (LOL). The styles of cars, the pastel colors, houses and even the clothing are from that time. This was also the time where Westerns were the most popular in the US. The 1950s on our world was the time of "The Cold War" with the then Soviet Union and the American paranoia of communism and nuclear war. In theirs, technology advanced faster, the Soviet Union never collapsed, and far more horrible Resource Wars plagued the planet. The "Europeans" (not necessarily the EU) invaded the Middle East, China tried to invade Alaska, and the US annexed Canada and Mexico before the nuclear war.

Ok, a few things: 1) The characters of the show and the story of the show are new and original. The story is set 9 years after Fallout 4 (the last game in the timeline), and almost two centuries after Fallout 76 (the earliest game in the timeline). 2) This fits *PERFECTLY* with Fallout, because every new game is set in a different year, it's usually in a different area of the former US, has a new protagonist, a new story, new enemies and (in 99% of cases) new NPCs. So no, nobody is upset that it's a new story. If anything, we kind of expected it. 3) The setting is reproduced *PERFECTLY,* however. The factions, the Vaults, the vibe, down to the items and the weapons. 4) Vaults are all part of the same project, but have radical differences among them. That's why Vault 33 is so unlike Vault 76, which you've seen in a game. 5) Vaults aren't all connected together. From what we can tell in this episode, Vaults 31, 32 and 33 are connected, although they have sporadic contact with each other. Vault 76 and all the others, however, are isolated. 6) There are 122 _official_ Vaults in the US. There might be some more unofficial ones. The lower numbers seem to be all around California and Nevada, while the higher numbers are on the East Coast. 7) There are several factions in the games. Some of them are more orderly and some more savage, but it's going to be hard to find an entirely good faction. Nobody's clean in the Wasteland. However, we can safely say that several kinds of raiders are downright evil. 8) The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction existing in most games, and it's derived from the remnants of the U.S.Army. As you can tell by the lesson in class, they go around hoarding "relics" (pre-war technology). 9) The Enclave is another faction, and this one is derived from the remnants of the U.S. government.

Yes. They all have numbers, but they also all have the same number, Trixy. They wear the number of their specific Vault on their jumpsuits, so almost like Squid Game but also not quite. Lucy is from Vault 33 and the Raiders came pretending to be from Vault 32.

You will first see the flash and instantaneously the high intensity gamma radiation is released and this travels at the speed of light, so you need to be in some shelter to protect yourself against the initial radiation release. Sound travels a 5 seconds per mile, so No sound at the time at the flash. The pressure wave also at the speed of sound as well. The atomic explosions depicted look like ground bursts and those throw up a lot of radioactive dust which is called "fall out". To maximize damage the atomic explosions should be "air bursts." Hydrogen bomb explosions are larger.

i played all main series fallout and i had no clue this show existed ether until a few hours before release.

😂😂😂😂 did they completely miss the projector? They can be this ...... nevermind.....

Show takes place in California city was LA time frame is 2077 as the bombs dropped. It a futuristic retro. It's a future that the 50s thought it would be like. Show then picks up 9yrs after fallout 4 in 2296.

"Gamer Girls" >Haven't played Fallout >Haven't played Skyrim ... I mean, I'm not saying those are required but...

The setting of the world before the bombs fell was the 50s. But a fantasy alternate reality 50s.

The games start in different ways. I haven't played through 1 or 2, so I can't say too much about them, but once Bethesda took over the franchise you have a scenario where your character starts out as a vault resident and is forced out of the vault in search of your father, similar to Lucy but under very different circumstances. Fallout New Vegas has the character be a normal wastelander who has never been in a vault. Fallout 4 has you as a pre-war couple with an infant child who get the last spot in Vault 111 right before the bombs go off, then you are cryogenically frozen only to wake up about 200 years later. The TV show doesn't include anything from the plots of those games, but it probably contains references and maybe even appearances of characters mentioned in those games, especially those characters who are instrumental in the founding of major factions or the creation of important things within the universe. The tone of the games is sort of a goofy horror survival vibe. There's a lot of dark humor, gratuitous gore, and subsistence living that you encounter as you explore the game world, and the storylines are often about purification of irradiated resources like water or nasty enemies who do cruel things and the character must stop them. The vaults are almost all horrific experiments by Vault-Tec that show little regard for human life, where they infect people with viruses, pipe in hallucinogenic gasses, or put drug addicts into the vault and have them go without drugs for a long time then open a secret compartment with drugs in it and see what happens, among other experiments. My favorite is Vault 69, where they put one man with 1000 women. It also has a strong drug aspect to it, with lots of types of pharmaceutical enhancements and the possibility of addiction.

Retrofuturism The reason Fallout looks the way it does: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8qRqJd-39uZqnk.html The 1st two games are really cool

This is what happens when you just talk and don't pay attention to what you're watching... They clearly showed you the projector inside the vault. Also, nothing in the show gives off 80's vibes, it's all 2077 with 50's style retrofuturism...

That "Please Stand By" image is right out of the opening Menu of Fallout 4 too. lol. Trixy, don't know if you've ever played Skyrim, but if you have (and you enjoyed it) then you might like Fallout 4 as well. They are both produced by Betheasda Games Studios and have nearly identical control systems and visuals. Plus if you choose to Mod the game (using Nexus for PC or in game mods for console) you can improve your experiences.

Blue you’re about to get all the gore you can handle. 😂😂😂

Fallout TV show takes place after every Fallout game, of course there night be characters, objects or places from the games but story will be original for the show.

To me this show is like a Fallout game has come to life. The only thing missing is being able to control the character, otherwise it's just like the games.

Bonus point to Vi for knowing the games. She should be satisfied with how the show turned out.

The Fallout games were inspired by the 1975 sci-fi film "A Boy and His Dog". A post-apocalyptic film which takes place in 2024. (two years after the events of another sci-fi film called "Soylent Green" (1973) which takes place in 2022, Though the latter is not connected to the former, or to the Fallout franchise).

Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). During the Cold War, the USSR was planning to open the war by dropping 600+ merely on my little Denmark. In the games you find all those tragic and dark stories as you explore the Wasteland, the series show them, but both do a very good job of what good SciFi should; holding up a dark mirror to humanity- and with Fallout it is really dark.

If you can’t do the brine, don’t do the crime.

The tv series is a new standalone story set in the Fallout universe, rather than adapting any one specific game in the series. That way you can get introduced to the franchise and still not get anything spoiled for any of the games… or come in from playing the games and still have a fresh story in the series to explore.

This is set after fallout 4. But you will see references to other games

Your intro is unique and I like it a lot!

Calling the dog Dogmeat in Fallout 4 is a reference to the apocalyptic 1975 film "A Boy and his Dog". Then there's little "Maximus" that survives a nuclear blast in a refrigerator which is a reference to Indiana Jones. 🤷‍♂ Also, the game world starts in an alternate reality where people didn't just "think" that atomic energy would create a new civilization and robots would run around, but that's what actually happened. Also, this takes place in the Fallout universe, but isn't in any game,. Technically, it's supposed to take place after New Vegas.

They made a great choice in adapting the game perfectly but also making a story completely independent of the previous material.

Round about 2005 there was blue Pepsi.

Maximus totally did it

80s? girl that shits right out of the 50s... teachers fail at everything anymore.

I can't get over how much cuter Blue looks, than the last time I saw her. What happened?

All fallout games have different plot lines, stories, and characters, and take place at different times throughout the 200+years post apocalypse. There is no concrete protagonist, It’s an RPG so your character you create, male or female, are the protagonist or antagonist depending on how you wanna play. A big part of the game are the choices you make as it always affects the outcome of the ending. There are also multiple factions like the Brotherhood of steel (which are the reminants of the US military) and the Enclave (what the US government evolved or devolved into depending on how you see it) plus many more that you can either join or try to help other factions destroy as they are always warring with each other for control of the wasteland. They also play a big part in the direction of the story during the games depending on who you choose. The retrofuturistic design in Fallout reflects an alternate reality where society never progressed past the 1950s aesthetically and somewhat technologically But instead developed a way to harness atomic energy so while some of their tech advanced to futuristic proportions (like the robots) other tech (like microprocessors and transistors) never developed. That’s why some of their tech is so clunky and big. That being said in the Fallout universe a massive war over diminishing resources lead to nuclear annihilation across the planet by the year 2077, the vaults are giant underground fallout shelters scattered all across the US designed to sustain and preserve a controlled population of people so that one day they may return to the surface and re-establish a society to help restore America to its former state however the vault dwellers aren’t the only ones who managed to survive centuries of radiation.

Well now... this was frustrating.

Let's see, gamer girls reacting to the Fallout series without having played the games... hmmm... XD and stonks at the same time

Playing in an open world for the first time is a revelation. For me that was Fallout 3. The game isn't perfect and is now really outdated but it will always have a special place in my heart.

My son just hooked up my Xbox so I could play the games.

Nice Reaction but one think is a Little confusing. The Show explaines Most the question you asked but i think you didnt had much attentions to the lore in the series 😊 but you can Watch it again and i Promis it will Show you the ansures

Million Dollar Baby soon? 🙏🏻

3:13 It looks like more of a 1959-1960 L.A. kind of aesthetic, not '80's.

The tv series is set about fifteen years after Fallout 4, so is after all of the games that have been produced. The thumb thing is nonsense but comes up later in the series: a nuclear bomb creates three deadly effects: blast wave, thermal and radioactive fallout. Of these, thermal flash goes the furthest in the first hour or so: thermal impacts from vaporising people to blasting fires causing third degree burns out to a distance of between 4-25 km depending on the size of the explosion. The deadly blast wave zone is less than half of that while fallout zone is less than 2km from the initial explosion until the wind kicks up and the explosion fireball disperses and fallout drops out. When a ground blast occurs (as in the tv series), far more fallout is created than from an air burst. Even worse, if a jacket of Cobalt 59 is used, the radioactivity is greatly increased and remains deadly for up to 110 years after the bombing.

Have you Gamer Girls ever played Fallout? One of the best games out there. Fallout 4 is my fav . . . Update: Okay, Trixy hasn't . . .

Great video reaction with your friend, you guys rock! The show is fun though I've never been too big on the games.

Omg, I'm in love 💗

Fallout is an RPG

"Gamer girls"

I loved watching this with you guys; great reaction! The glowing Nuka-cola is a Quantum, by the way. In a nutshell, here is the canon; After the bombs, the government and the military went their separate ways as the Enclave and the B.O.S. They don't like each other.😂 Vault-tec built 122 vaults around the country and sold spaces in them. While they came across as patriotic, darker things were brewing behind the scenes. The series starts on the west coast in California, where the N.C.R. or New California Republic was formed after the bombs (several years after) while Fallout 4 takes place in Massachusetts. I'm not sure about timeline, but I'm guessing the show takes place 6 or 8 years before the fourth game. Blue, you have to check out the game, you will love it. Oh, and Skyrim as well!❤✌️

Only fans plug was wild

"Has the same vibe as Skyrim?" Seriously take Gamer Girl out of your title lol.. If you don't just ~know~ why Skyrim and Fallout have the same vibe.. you have no right.

FYI, there’s a channel called “Kirsty Vane” that’s uploading your videos as if they were theirs. Just thought I’d give you a heads up, content thieves are the worst.

Playing only League of Legends, now that is sad xD I love your reactins though, so it is all good xD

this is after all the games. The enclave is remnant of the US government, which are all but eradicated.

All fallout games have a different protagonist in a new area and point in the timeline. You will not see any characters from the games.

Great video.

The thumb thing is totally made up. But yes, the pressure wave from a nuclear explosion is a big part of what actually causes damage outside of the initial fireball. Everything inside it including oxygen/Air, burns, which creates a different phenomenon, there are actually 2 waves, the initial shock going out, and also a wave coming back as air returns to fill the space that was voided. Kyle Hill has some incredible vids on this sort of thing you should check out! Cheers!

What accent is this???

I love your reaction

What is the T stands for? Really? 😅 Can't you just pay attention to what you're watching girls???

They really captured the vibe from the games to be honest. It could just be the music choices but it feels so Fallout

Fun fact: Ella Purnell (Lucy) also voices Jinx in Arcane.

Lol Trix never streams her league of legends play because it's nothing but her cursing at 14 year old koreans.

The show is way better than I thought it would be after the abyssmal Rings of Power and Wheel of Time. Really catches the mood of the games well.

Your Girlfriend❤❤❤

Its really great that youre a gamer Trixy n Knows Fallout well the Series allways reminds me of Metro 2033 n Mad Max

🥰🥰

Well, this is too obnoxious to watch. Just shut up and watch the show and your questions will be answered.

Monty showed her “ The Full Monty”

Trix you don’t need an assistant…

Yay ❤❤❤❤🎉

The name of your friend pls.

Just so you know Trixy, Fallout isn't just one game; there are to my knowledge 6 games. But that doesn't mean there aren't more out there somewhere. I have only played 3 of them myself. Fallot 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas. For gameplay and overall player freedom I give Fallout 4 the lead. But I find Fallout 3 has the best scenario involving living in a Vault leading to surface exploration. I really do wish there would be a new Fallout game with more time spent in a Vault, even if it comes in the form of playable flashbacks. The all of three minutes you get in Fallout 4 is just not really very immersive. but that;s just me. I'm sure others might say New Vegas is the best.

Nuclear war doesn't destroy everything, just parts of cities which would be targeted, so many would survive outside.

Maybe do more watching and less talking next episode....

Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance. 🖖🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH X MEN THE LAST STAND AND X-MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE AND X MEN FIRST CLASS AND DAYS OF FUTURE PAST AND APOCALYPSE PLEASE

Good game adaptetoins!

Hello 👋🏻😊 Fallout series of prime in my country in the Reviews is being criticized for the explicit sexual scenes, nudity and Sex, Even a woman who does the Reviews said that Fallout should not have explicit sexual scenes, nudity and Sex, only violence and Gore 😨 What do you think about it?

You need to play the games. You'll enjoy this so much better. Or be pissed off. I'm still debating how I feel about it.

Wow, you two cant stop talking to hear what the people in the show are saying.. Irritating..im out...🙄

Trixy you are so attractive it is distracting. I love reaction videos but every time I look up at you, I forget what we were watching. It's maddening. lol

I gained a lot of respect for Vi for knowing the games. Trixie needs to play them. They will bring out the dork in her
