Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Walton Goggins is one of my favorite underappreciated actors. He's been all over the place for so long and his name rarely gets mentioned. His role in the show Justified was awesome. What he did in Sons Of Anarchy was bonkers. lol Just an all around good actor and interesting presence on screen.

It is STILL a very popular game.

Fun fact: Lucy is played by the woman who voiced Jinx in Arcane and the Ghoul (who is the guy from the beginning of this episode) is played by the guy who voices Cecil in Invincible.

Also raiders are the worst of the worst, think of the most horrendous things people can do and that’s what raiders do. They suck.

Personally, the opening barrage of nukes intro scene scares the fuck out of me. Like you guys said, it could actually happen. To me, that intro is scarier than any horror movie

People keep pointing out Walton Goggins is in this, but I don't hear anybody pointing out that the older black woman in Vault 33 was played by Leslie Uggams, who you will probably know as Blind Al from Deadpool. She also played Kizzy on the classic TV miniseries "Roots"

28:34 my man was shot with a Rock-It Launcher! A canon that can fire random pieces of junk at high velocity

As an older person that watches your content, all people my age grew up with this. I remember drawing bomb shelter ideas in my school notebooks.

I love this show because the producers accurately captured its weird dark humor, and over the top brutality, and because its entirely an original story. Some parts slightly borrowed from FO3, the aesthetics of FO4, and the western environments of FNV. And all 3 main actors convincingly played their parts well. I haven't seen Goggins since "Tomb Raider", and before that in "The Shield" tv series. He's a very committed actor.

I’m a massive Fallout fan and played all the games. Really enjoyed this editing style with the inserted beats of relief throughout

Great video and reaction, FYI, while the show is in the world of the games, it's actually an original story and the three main characters are not from the games, so you don't have to worry about not playing the games beforehand, I love the series so far, amazing

I love how this show is nothing but fan service for those who played the games, but also for people unfamiliar its also being well received and liked. This show takes place in the universe of fallout. Alt reality 1950s era tech set in the 2200s years. Nothing is tied to the games but there is lots of fan service for those who love the games. Its a win win for everyone. This show is great.

holy sh*t, this actually looks really good

Fallout is a fascinating setting - it's an alternative 50's America, where nuclear power is used for everything, artificial intelligence robots are commonplace but that chunky glass-and-chrome style is used for everything. A company called Vault-Tek sets up these 'survival shelters' all over the country in case of nuclear war (America is clashing with China and Russia) but they are secretly science/psychological experiments. It's both super optimistic and upbeat, with REALLY dark humour and TONS of violence too. So far this seems to be getting some of the feel right.

I'd recommend playing Fallout 4 if you haven't yet played it. The first half an hour is insanely good. However, it's definitely not a game for children and it has 18 year age limit in most countries.

What a fantastic reaction to this first episode! I loved every second of it, you clearly got so invested in it. Thank you for this ❤

Little background info for why so many bombs were dropped in the opening: The Fallout timeline diverges sometime in the 60s or 70s. Life goes on in an increasingly hostile Cold War, natural resources being devoured by global superpowers to the point that the US even annexed Canada midway theough the 21st century. Then, in the early 2070s, China struck across the Bering Strait and invaded Alaska. Not long after the US military drove them away, the bombs fell. Unlike in the real world, where we chased larger and ever more powerful bombs, the powers of the Fallout timeline focused on tactical warheads of roughly the power of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Instead of a singular blast being able to level all of LA, they basically launched a curtain of bombs that would be harder to intercept, insuring that they would succeed. The bombs fell on October 23rd, 2077.

"In my defense, he didn't have a nose." If I had a dollar for every time I heard that excuse . . .

" That is Sooo Scary " That is the threat I grew up under. And the leaders of the world are dancing towards that Ending, once more. You are right, it is scary. Scary as Hell. On a lighter note. Hope you all like the series, wife and I have already watched it 2 times this last weekend

The world of Fallout is fascinating, especially to watch someone see it for the first time. That said, I'm reserving judgement on weather or not this show will actually represent the games I grew up with.

i like, how they build up the 3 main characters like in the good old "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" western with clint eastwood....

Those oversized golfclub looking bags carried by the Brotherhood Of Steel Squires are not in the game. But they symbolize the fact that when playing the game you are constantly picking up valuable loot and junk. These items all have weight, and at some point the player becomes over encumbered and weighed down to the point that you move very slowly. Proper weight carrying management is an essential part of the games (unless you have something like a "Weightless Junk Mod").

I know you guys never played the games but the set design on this show is *chef's kiss!* They nailed it! The vaults, the wasteland and the "towns" are spot on and would fit perfectly into the games. They even have a little shack in one of the later episodes that felt like it was pulled straight from the games.

The opening sequence NAILED everything about Fallout. In the games, we never really got to SEE the Great War, save in glimpses. Fallout 4 with the Pre-War Prologue was different because we SAW the panic and how everything was going to hell on a crisp cool October day in Massachusetts. This, though? This was different in its own way. Because we could see it not from the perspective of the main character, or even glimpses. But as an onlooker. And the panic and the fear goes through your veins, sending a chill up your spine. The Fallout show does the games justice.

Fun Fact : the Guy who plays Norman also played as Rico from Hannah Montana 😂

I'm so glad you girls loved it. Can't wait for the next one

"Usually when someone says they're doing one last job, their heart ain't in it. I do this shii for the love of the game." Savage. Line of the season I'm callin it! 🧟🤘

Basically Fallout is set in a timeline where the 1950's and the Cold War never ended. (hence the music and "fashions")

Fallout isn’t a specific game, really, it’s a setting in which games take place, kinda like dungeons and dragons in that regard. Each installment of the fallout games is it’s own unique story with it’s own characters and take place in different areas of the world. Very few characters actually appear in more than one game, but the factions and places do. They don’t even take place in the same time, really. Some are earlier after the bombs fell, some later, but they all form one cohesive timeline. Typically you play as a vault dweller who is just reintroduced into the over world and there’s usually some disaster or trauma that takes place which drives the actions of the protagonist (you). Along the way, you’ll find all sorts of quirky characters and companions to help or hinder you along the way, but how you proceed and how things turn out in the end are very much dependent on your choices.

The Ghoul is the cowboy from the first scene, played by Walton Goggins who has been in a lot of different shows and movies.

Ella Purnell is in this oh wow I might have to check this out love her as Jinx in Arcane

This is a new story. Not part of the games. It's a story set in the same world as the games with references but they wanted a different story like they were making a new game for new people.

This is going to be a great series, looking forward to further reactions.

The massacre scene in the beginning of the vault symbolizes the random acts of terror that players can commit throughout the history of the games. They gave you a moral teetertotter in the beginning of the game and from there you could literally do anything you want. I know this because I as a long time fan have made my fair share of warcrimes in Fallout.

Warching the reaction and seeing you go "ohhh nooo" about two minutes in means this is going to be an interesting series of reactions.

A fantastic reaction as always 😁. The intro scene was jawdropping...

This franchise makes me think of the exchange between Oppenheimer and Einstein at the end of Oppenheimer.

Fun fact: The raider who gets crushed in the door, inhales Jet right before. Jet is a drug the most raiders have in the game on thier person.

I’ve never played or know anything about the game but this series looks pretty good!

It felt like Maximus was a few words away from getting executed for a minute.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but the actor at 37:11 is the guy that played Bubba in Forrest Gump.

Fantastic reaction ladies - We are up to episode 3 - your gonna love it!

this probably the most used practically rather than Cgi , i really apreaciate that , 10/10 adaptation

Next piece of merch: Never Trust Happiness 😂

hey, it's John's daughter...the world of Die Hard really turned dark.

DRINK NUKA COLA. An essential element into the Fallout universe.

My favorite detail was them cutting the birthday kids cake like cutting the tension with a knife

Despite all the murder and gore, what that guy did to those curtains, is the most savage thing in the series.

War, war never changes...

Actor Liam Neeson appears (in voice) in the Fallout games. I won't say which one, but his voice is unmistakable.

Wow, you really were crying, I was just enjoying the music and all the fan service during my first watch lmao

Great reaction. Please react to Shogun next.

the guy who confronted the ghoul when he got out his grave, i thought it was preston garvey at first... same hat..

Lucy did the "abusive relationship" speedrun. Introduction --> hook-up --> hot steamy sex --> mortal combat --> aided by family, all within an hour or so Good thing Lucy's a badass. Also this is why family is important.

The beginning with the nukes going off made me have chills . It would be crazy if that ever happened

17:42 this ppl with her were not actually raiders, they were leftovers from NCR who hired small group of raiders as distraction to left behind to get killed, i mean 17:42 in that room with her is the leftovers from NCR from that area, they are separate group from the raiders who were trying to murder awry1

Lucy and Monty were never going to last - relationships are based on trust, and Monty was keeping a pretty big secret.

Haha so entertaining to watch your reactions 14:12 "hey you're married" 😂 such a sane comment for a very insane scene

Some people may have told you the setting of Fallout, but I'll pitch in anyway to try and fill the blanks. After events of World War 2, the world changed and took a different turn in technology from what we did. Think of it as an alternate timeline where instead of inventing the microprocessor, they instead harnessed the power of the atom to improve the quality of life in America. What was once science fiction in the 1950s and 60s became science fact. Robot butlers, fusion powered cars, and portable supercomputers, just to name a few. But by the middle of the 21st century, many of the resources, including oil started to run dry, and nobody was willing to share their last few resources or their technology. The Middle East started using their uranium mines to make weapons to settle old scores, the European Commonwealth tried to unify themselves under one flag but started fighting each other, the United Nations officially disbanded, and China replaced Russia as the Big Red Communist. China then attacked Alaska as it was the last place on Earth that still had oil. America naturally wanted to keep it all to themselves and fought against China for the last 10 years. The war ended around fall in 2077, but some Americans were certain that their communist enemies weren't going to just leave in defeat, so the Vault-Tec Corporation created 122 underground shelters called Vaults. Officially, they're meant to keep 1000 citizens safe from the any nuclear war that could happen, and wait at least 10 years before they come back out to repopulate and rebuild their destroyed civilization. On October 23, 2077, the day that no one wished would happen happened. The Great War had begun as America and China launched every nuke they've got at each other, and the war lasted only two hours. Hundreds of millions of lives were lost within minutes, and billions more died in the days to follow, and no one knows for sure who started it.

29:15 Knowing that you two have never played the games and seeing your expressions in that moment was so damn funny! Also Laura, 5:54 Your just as pretty as her.

just wait til they show deathclaw's ...

what u don't get from the series is that its alt time line to real live, over 2000 but look like 50s and awry thing runs on nuclear power, even cars, its like what if world went full on nuclear power

War never changes...

I binged-watched the entire series the same day it came out. It's great to see that you both liked it. There is definately something special about it, and about the games as well. If I were you I'd start out with F4. I've been playing games since the Commodore 64, and I must say that Fallout 4 was (and is) the best one so far. Welcome to the world of Fallout, ladies.

Magic Magy Truly Such A Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

I hope the series is a good as the computer games . . .

Burt was done wrong by his wife. She out there telling Lucy that her dress took longer to take off than Burt took to get off.

The story of the show is original, happening some years after the game Fallout 4. None of the characters are "from" the games, but brand new.

Great reaction girls. You seemed to have really enjoyed it. I played some of Fallout 3 so I’m a little familiar with it, but not much which seems similar to you guys. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the show. It’s pretty amazing & while big Fallout fans enjoyed it due to them staying faithful to Fallout lore, even casual fans & non-fans can enjoy it. They did a fantastic job. Walton Goggins is criminally underrated although he is getting a but more recognition for his work, but he’s still pretty unknown & he’s always a supporting actor never a lead. His daughter Janey is a precocious young lady & cute as a button. She’s so adorable. Hopefully we get to see what happens to his wife & daughter.🤷 The scary part is that the world is rife with chaos, division & conflict now. It’s scary to think that this fiction could become reality one day. The themes the show puts forth like war, conflict, politics, morally dubious corporations, greed, power, etc are in fact things that inundate our world right now. We have huge divisions in society & everything thinks they know the best way to govern. There are millions of people screaming about global catastrophes & the end of the world while many are prepping for the end. Millionaires & billionaires are spending millions on bunkers like the vaults in the show. Frankly, I don’t think I’d want to survive after a nuclear holocaust & live in a post-nuclear world which would be a horrific reality. It’s scary to even contemplate, but you have to think about these things as disturbing as they may be. Well, that was downright pessimistic & morose.🫤🥴

thanks for uploading this, was fun watching your reaction to it. tip though. once each episode ends, don watch the 'next on fallout' bit, I heard there may be spoilers abound in it. and everything in the series were taken from the game, every, little, detail.

Request:Godzilla (2014) and all movies after that😂

there are different doll statues all over; each one gives a different qualityto every player.

As a big Fallout fan i binged the whole show in one night, is it perfect no, is it awesome hell yes. There are.couple things they added lore wise had me digging threw the lore and fans will know what im talking about.

This series is surprisingly good.

good to know things, the show has been very faithful to the game lore! which is a hard task for many shows / movies for some reason..

You should check out Fallout New Vegas it has Mathew Perry and is arguably the best.

I'm pretty sure Honcho is the actor that played bubba in forest gump

By the way, on April 1st I believed it. I was upset, because it was March 31st where I am

I’m going to subscribe to you guys, awesome to see this reaction from viewers who haven’t played the game, please keep going :) reaction to all the episodes please!!

it happens when the full version on patreon

last time i've watched them watching frieren... now they're watching a movie of the game I'm playing.......... the movie showcases parts of iconic places and things found in the fallout franchise fallout, fallout 2, fallout 3, fallout 4....the vertibirds, power armors and the flying fortress the "Prydwen"

This IP writes itself. They could do a hundred episodes of the freaky things going on inside and outside these vaults.

Great series, interesting reaction!

Lucy is also the star of "Yellowjackets", do that one sometime

Y'know, most of the stuff coming off the movie/tv assembly line these days, I really don't like. But I liked this one! Hopefully they can stick the landing. By the way, each Fallout game is a totally different story with totally different characters in totally different places. Each game, you are a Vault Dweller from a different vault, going out into the wasteland for some reason. This series is the same. They are telling a story of a new Vault Dweller going out into the Wastes. Just FYI.

“Big Iron on his hip….”

Spent many hours in Fallout 4, doing settlement builds.

This is what I'm interested in, the non-fan reaction. I'm curious about what they think about the Fallout universe in general. They are likely not to notice the little inconsistencies fans seem to be nitpicking, and accept the show for what it is. Does the show stand on its own? That's what I want to know.

I have never played the game nor even heard of it BUT I loved this TV series! Okey Dokey! 😁

13:27 cutest nooooo! ever

I've watched the first episode and Walter Goggins is already irreplaceable

It's going to be fun and interesting watching your reactions since you're starting off with a blank slate and don't know the lore of Fallout. Buckle up!

if you ever played any "the elder scrolls" title you will know what kind of a game any "Fallout" is. There is no story-focus, youre just exploring the world with many small quests and stories and none of the characters in the show ever appeared in any Fallout game.

Yellojacket Lucy....the food😂

this is not a story from the game but a new story in the universe. I was wondering which game you downloaded, three, new vegas, 4, or 76. I would suggest 3 for four, new Vegas is everyone's favorite, but you get more lore from 3 or 4 to start, in my opinion.

The full name is "the enclave of the United States of America"

It’s interesting to see what non fans think. Fans are pointing at screen every 5 minutes because of things in the games.

Another thing about the Fallout games is that all the children are immortal. They cannot be killed (AFAIK). However someone did create a Mod program that allows kids to be killed in Fallout. This was done for the purpose of real world "immersiveness" like that tragically seen in TLOU.

this show is really good though pssibly one of best live action based of games
