I’ll always fondly love the simple poetry of the Courier’s introductory scene, especially in the context of the two games it’s sandwiched between.

Fallout 3’s tutorial takes the protagonist through an underground infancy, childhood, and young adulthood before opening the vault door to the game’s world.

Fallout 4 sees the Player through the apocalypse itself before waking up in a tube and beginning the actual gameplay.

But New Vegas? Just a poor soul dragged from a literal shallow grave and patched up just enough to not die.

I instinctively read that in Homestar Runner’s voice.

Wheat Thiccs…

Southern Discomfort…

Hamburger Hinderer…

“There was a hole here. It’s gone now.”

37?!?!?

Oh.

Right.

…Shit.

The microwave at the Future Gadgets Lab is about to experience one hell of an upgrade.

Siiiiigh…yeah…

Furry Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: “Just vibe.”

I’ll meet you on the battlefield, sure, but not as your enemy.

And that’s just the movie that kicks off the Johnicles cinematic universe.

Just wait until they introduce Johnny Mnemonic, Johnny Utah, and Johnny Silverhand.

Aw, shucks… 🙂

Boomhauer, for once in my life, I have no idea what you’re talkin’ about.

Crypto-whatsit? Is that something from one of Bobby’s vid’ya games?

It’s a new form of money, Hank. VIRTUAL MONEY.

Well, excuse me, Dale, but here where I live, in the REAL WORLD, we already have a perfectly fine money. It’s called AMERICAN DOLLARS and it works just fine, I tell ya h’wat.

You say that now, Hank, but wait until the cyber-swarm-uprising of 2034 comes and replaces your precious “real world” with a virtualsphere so indiscernible from what you think you know as real! Wake up and see what’s coming on the horizon!

Can you see me kicking your ass on the horizon?

Right?
