Love the idea of videos being friendly to people who don't look at the screen. Fun to listen to while doing monotonous work or simple tasks

I wrote a paper on psychoactive plants for one of my college classes a few years ago. One of the plants I focused heavily on was Datura since it occurs quite plentifully in my state. What the commenter said about Datura is pretty much solid info; and quite insightful. I would like to add: there were Native American tribes that used Datura in their rituals. The biggest one being the induction ceremony for boys in the Luiseño Tribe. This ritual, called Pa’nish Mani, consisted of dried Datura (aka Jimson Weed) roots that would be ground into a powder and mixed with hot water and allowed to stand for a period of time. After such time, the boys would drink a certain amount and would dance until unconsciousness, supposedly witnessing intense spiritual visions. This ritual involved a few more points, but too many to note with my limited recollection. I figured since I missed out on posting before, I’d do it now.

Regarding throwing knives: it might surprise you to learn that titanium is actually a _terrible_ metal for blades. It's highly abrasion resistant, so sharpening it is difficult and tedious (hence the laser sharpening)... And it's too soft: it loses that edge very quickly. Tells you a lot about corporations in Fallout America, huh? Titanium _carbide_ makes for excellent blades, though.

the shovel is a weapon i 76, altho the damage is pretty low. one is also required for the daily quest "buried with honor" where it is needed to bury the body of a "civil war soldier" (from 25 years ago)

Regarding Bacta, the amount used generally depends on the severity and surface area of the injury/injuries. For shallow scrapes, cuts, or small burns, no more than a small amount out of a container the size of a soda can is needed. For more severe injuries, and/or injuries covering a wide portion of the body, it can be more efficient (albeit more expensive) to submerge the patient entirely, like with Luke after he got clapped by the Wampa.

4:06 "who created the schematics?" my bets are on the Gun Runners, they have the know how and spread to make weapons

76 has quite a few throwing weapons, like tomahawks, cleavers and sheepsquatch shards, the last two being rare rewards from specific events. also, there is a different shovel in 76 that operates as a melee weapon along with the scrap one.

One thing to note about the Machete Gladius, its design is based off an Indian machete called a Kukri. In particular, one of the modern designs that favors a straighter blade that is much fatter at the end when compared the slender and more prominently curved blades of the original historical specimens.

Since aluminum bats are typically hollow it'd be cool if they used the inside of it to store the fuel in the one at 6:57 and it would slosh a little when you swung it.

woah I'm ACCIDENTALLY early lol. Just scrolling and I found this and thought "oh when did he do part two?"... 5 min ago I guess lmfao

“Sparks and Black Smoke can be seen on the side” Actually a lot of modern day drills still do this, as Brushed Motors tend to spark a lot. Not smoke though that’s terrifying.

Obsidian added the ballistic fist in Fallout New Vegas they wanted to make it so you could load shotgun shells into the ballistic fist but weren't able to implemented due to engine limitations we can possibly speculate that due to a similar reason the shish kabob doesn't take gasoline as ammunition

Ok gonna stamp my Nerd Card here. Bacta in Star Wars is pretty much a "Magic fairy dust" cure in that setting for injuries and comes in a variety of flavors regarding how it's used. It can be as mundane as a Bacta Patch similar to a field dressing in combat or large Band-Aid with ointment, all the way too a filling a medical tank that you fill with the liquid to heal Intensive Care patience.

meat cleavers are also throwing weapons found in 76, you can get them from a seasonal event called "meat week"

I like how he managed to mention warhammer 40k despite the ocean of differences between the two universes

I'd actually like to argue that the Gas tank on the OG flaming sword could possibly be a coolant tank for the fusion engine It could definitely be a gas tank, but I wouldnt be too hasty with that assessment

Well this made my day, always surprised how fast these vids come out

Glory to Atom brother radking has uploaded another great vid

I love your videos so much. The amount of audience interaction is awesome. I like to think I know alot of Fallout stuff, but I always learn sooo much from all yr vids!

Part of the reason aluminum bats are not used in major leagues is that they are metal and hollow, the vibration caused by hitting such a fast ball super hard is a risk to the batter

I don't use a lot of melee weapons but I do remember these ones and didn't hear you talk about them 1. Little Jesus from fallout two that you get from Jesus Mordino 2. Ocom's Razer from fallout 3 that you get from a talon company merc 3. Pickmen's Blade that you get from pickmen's gallery 4. X - 2 Antena that you get from X - 2 in fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues DLC

19:53 I'm pretty sure you can use shovels as weapons in 76.

On the subject of Fallout motorcycles, I always figured they were like the cars in that they regularly had to stop by for coolant exchanges.

Regarding the stimpack's guage: In medicin, before people started using electronic equipment to meassure pressure, it was common to have a collom containing a bit of mercury inside. The collom would be gauged with millimeter markings, and hooked up to the thing to be meassured. The height increase of the mercury would indicate the pressure, and the pressure would be expressed as such. This led to the creation of the pressure unit mmHg (millimeter mercury), which is about equal to 0.0013bars. Eventhough this method of measuring pressure is nowadays only seldomly used, the term mmHg is still the most common unit of pressure in medicin. Hence, I think the guage on the stimpack might refer to pressure in mmHg, with the zero point being one atm.

Love this video and your content, especially with the jokes you added in, they were well placed

It was so much fun watching the Shishkebab in action in Nuka Break, although it actually ran out of fuel during the episode. As a result, I like to think the weapon actually does require refuelling much like the flamethrower, but this is left out for gameplay purposes (keeping a flamethrower fuelled is part of why players often ignore it) The frequency of Fallo9ut Bible episodes is fine for me, at least, since I tend to watch these videos, then go back and reference them a bit at a time to digest information. Having item episodes is one thing, because the subject matter is usually easier to break down. However, the Bible episodes are so jam-packed with information that often needs to be cross-referenced due to new official lore that it can take a long time to fully go through the information in a single video. Having one per month or so gives a lot more time for really digging into the meat and enjoying all of the minutia. Bacta is one of a small number of microbial substances used in Star Wars and actually can be applied in a number of ways. While bacta tanks were used on Luke and Vader to try and heal large-scale injuries, the bacta could also be applied topically. One recent example of this was in The Mandalorian, where Din's head injuries were being treated by a small can of bacta spray. It could also be used in a salve form as part of a poultice to heal some types of wounds such as burns that may require prolonged exposure but aren't exrtensive enough to require submerging.

the meth chocolate is a very real thing that was used by german soldiers in ww2

Always ready to see my trusty back up tools in Fallout, especially when entering the Sierra Madre.

In fallout 76 the shovel is a melee weapon there is also a unique version called the cursed shovel that you can get from completing the Wendigo Colossus boss fight

There actually is a usable shovel in fallout 76, I believe you can find one in Flatwoods.

I love your dry humor it's absolutely amazing. I must ask Adam for forgiveness. For leading you astray. That's literally awesome I'm guessing that's a reference to the Adam's glow cult that is in the fallout universe

Shoddycast has a great video on stimpacks. It gives an in depth analysis of how healing actually works and how much material would need to be packed into a stim.

Love your vids Praise Be to Atom

7:01 a mahogany bat would be heavy as hell! Mahogany is a VERY dense wood. Even a light swing from that would probably concuss an unarmored enemy.

Bacta has been shown used in small amounts to heal wounds. People are only dipped when under extremely life threatening circumstances

The gauge on the stim pack could be amount of medication in the vile. Also, maybe you should use the Radiation King branding from the game.

(Around 15:13) This fact also makes it exceptionally overpowered when using the Weapon Modifier Drop Glitch, which allowed you to force the Kremvh's Tooth Blade onto a Ripper (even allowing for stacked legendary effects if the base Ripper was also legendary)

Man I love watching these videos as i play fallout.

Liked the information in the video and I know I'm late to speculate but the alien bio-gel might be like the stuff used in PREDATOR 2 were the predator crushes something into powder and adds a liquid to make a glowing paste

Makes me so happy when I see a new radking vid in my sub box 😁

The machete gladius is a kukri with a less pronounced curve. They were known for being used by the Gurka.

perfect for my lunch thanks

Would the bladed pool cue from Fallout 4 tecnicly be a melee spear as what is a spear but a stick with a sharp end?

7:41 the biggest reason for maple being the preferred wood for bats is because maple does not "vibrate" in your hand when hit like other woods. It is also one of the preferred wood for tools.

Hey brother! I think you missed the tomahawk from new vegas. It has to be said tho, baseball bats, lead pipes and crowbar are much more useful than expected. As most gangs and thugs using the hooked part as offensive or defensive tool, crowbars and tire irons, I think, are using in china by thugs as bats for the mundane utility, high durability and easier access. Even the police having 'tactical' variant and the resurgence of blunt weapons like kanabos, sticks, hammers and pickaxe or hammer handles over the exotic and strange things like sais, karambit knives. Cricket bats too, with their 'edge'. Gladius machete has much similarity with kukris and machete variants, though heavier and edged, they use more like axes. Plus, to me a headcanon, the rocket thing on the baseball bat? It could be pneumatic. Given a certain acceleration or impact maybe, it would active like a power fist. And with the frankly too many variant and downgrades between games, the super sledge in fo4 could be intended more as civilian use

I love your videos rad king watching them or just listening to them while playing on my Xbox some fallout

Another great rundown! What a surprise to see you used my comment regarding Helios/Malcolm Holmes. Didn't expect that. Cheers!

Keep it up! Looking forward to watching your channel grow

well don't know if I've ever been so early on a video of a youtuber before good stuff as always man

Another amazing video, I love these keep it up!

The Enclave in 2 heavily imply that basically everyone was infected with FEV and it's how people have survived in the wasteland and why they turn into ghouls when exposed high levels of radiation. That's what I got from them anyway.

I think gauge on stimpacks is for what percent full it is for easy use by soldiers. Rather than teaching a bunch of soldiers about identifying the ml of blood loss, simply saying 'for x injury, y% of the stimpack' is much easier

Love your videos man. Keep doing your thing.

I think the every 3 video schedule works fairly well

I think the original concept and intention of the Throwing Knife from Fallout 1&2 especially from the ingame description was for it to be just used as a Hack and Slash Weapon.

I'd love to see a video about all of the various easter eggs and pop culture references in the fallout series.

The sheperds crook in Fo76 has a good deal of mods including electrified and toothed

Would like to see a 3rd entry covering some weapons like the deathclaw gauntlet, proton axe, and thermic lance to name a few. Wonderful series.

Love the videos keep up the good work

I love the shiskabob against ghouls in the tunnels.

Radking video released on my birthday? Hell yeah

"I sell propane and propane accessories." ~Said while strapped with a Shishkabob.

10/10 would recommend this video

The scribe has bestowed upon us the knowledge 🙌🙌🙌

hello radking, love the vids mate

The gladius is more of a Kopi blade a utility knife or clever sword shields in form of car doors or doors could exist and would explain why it would be seen and used by the legion or against it

Fun fact: The plentiful bats in Fallout 4 are a direct nod to the Boston Red Sox baseball team, based in Boston at the site of Diamond City.

Love these, can't wait until you cover the golf club

About the alien civilization, they would co-existed with humans, with the first exemples of early development of agriculture and human society being created at arround 13th millenia bc, and homo-sapiens having living as far as 300 thousand years, before that as nomadic hunter-gatherers

The Shish Kabob is one of my favs too.

Great video, comrade! Keep up the great work!

the throwing knife in fallout one is an exact copy of the Eagle eye throwing knife i own. interestingly enough you can see the same knife in the movie REPO: the genetic rock opera used by the surgeon.

Great video, make more! MOAR!!!

great stuff

11:35 Throwing stars should be a very common throwing weapon in fallout. All you need is something to cut sheet metal, some files to sharpen it, and then scrap random bits of metal from wherever!

Note on the afterburner gum; it was probably made with regular pharmaceutical amphetamine not the bastardized street drug methamphetamine.

I swear i recovered a throwing knife in fallout 76

love him or hate him hes the goat love him or hate him hes the goat good ass content underrated and keeps me company when i miss my girl,,,

off topic, but in your game footage when you shot antler i thought it was really detailed and funny how the nightkin attacked you after xD

Ah, yes, one of the old-school Rad King opening cinematics

I actually thought of repairing it with another shishkebab was you taking the fuel out of one and giving it to the other

"Let's make a flaming sword that you can't even stab with."(Extra flame jets modification)

My guess is that Ceasar legion's favor machetes because of the increased slashing damage and penetration. considering the thick hides of most mutants and the armor the NCR wears would be reasonable protection against regular blade weapons, it wouldn't be as efficient against a machete which is meant to chop and considering the tactics used by the Legion, namely waves of infantry, having many troopers rushing with blades meant to chop is pretty damn terrifying and they don't need to focus on swinging to the next target asap as their comrades are going to take care of it so they can focus on their chosen target.

Shit how could I forget about Afterburner Gum after ODing on it

You must have to do a hell of a lot of research for your videos, there are things that I would never think of in a million years, like in the comment review where stims gauge can be different measurements, props to you

RadKing: "Who knows if I'm lying? You don't!" Me, an intellectual: "Hmmmm... Well NOW I'm suspicious. . ."

the swords and machetes comparisons are interesting. swords varied a lot. so I'll target the later. Machetes have a thinner blade to help cuting through branches and shrubs. Yes the heft is in the blade that helps cutting efforts. And even though its a tool in practice it makes for a well made arm for rebellions in 3 word countries

In a funny twist of fate the machete gladius is more like a kopis which was the main sword the Carthaginians used.

With fev vs radiation for mutations. It honestly seems like its a bit of both. Ive always thought fev will mutate on its own, but it also allows radiation to mutate and not only kill like it usually would.

Shovels are weapons in 76 you can't complete a certain daily quest without have one equipped in hand and it's probably got the most satisfying hit sound of any melee weapon. The cursed shovel is one notable legendary you can get from the windego world event

No mention of the unique "Grognak's axe" melee weapon in Fallout 4? That is an awesome weapon and the primary weapon (except when fighting big stuff that I need to use guns on) of my Fallout 4 character... Surprisingly both my Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion characters have big axes as their main weapons (I do love axes though :)

fuel for the rockets.....probably some eldritch being supplying it

The spiked and barbed cane have the same hit damage, but you spend extra materials for spiked for the bleeding effect it causes (which does stack) ((not that it matters, the cane sucks anyway))

21:46 Knowing the White Glove Society, the ivory probably comes from human bones.

The cattle prod is in fallout 4 but its for repairing robot companions.

On machetes: Caesar's legion choice seems deliberately done. First, it also serves a tool and making the legionaries more flexible, probably a call back to the War of Galia (the records of Cesar about the conquest of the Gaul tribes). Also, the lawnmower blade could be an imitation made by blacksmiths of the first machetes of the tribes that were improvised. Furthermore, the Legion likely has influence from Mexican descendant population, who in the post apocalypse would be armed with machetes out of availablity and tradition.

Love the content man

the aluminum mod in fallout 4 also gives more dmg

Machetes are also in fallout 4

That's funny that the lead pipe is actually galvanized iron with a 1-1/2" union
