At the minimum, have someone walk into an A/B shot of two people talking. Have someone give some exposition, and another character just walks into the shot and stares at the camera.

One thing I was unclear on was when Steph said she came from Vault 31 was she lying or in on the scam?

Two episodes in and i feel like the characters borrowed the teleporters from Game of Thrones to get places, and meet right when they must in order to get the plot moving

The first guy Lucy meets is doing that walk too, the guy who had never been over the hill to Filly. And watching Lucy killing someone with a 10mm, followed by them just catapulting over the horizon after they fall down would be neat too.

lol I just had that happen tonight. I killed a guy and then went to where I killed him after the fight was over. Couldn't find him. Looked around and saw a hand, so I looted that. Then I look up and the rest of the body is across the river.

“Thanks for not shooting me with your gun! You’re a nice person.” +1 Karma What a fun and silly show. I think it’s the best video game to live action entertainment I’ve ever seen. I’d put it up there with the first series of Castlevania too. Hell, if next season is just as goofy and fun I’d be willing to kick it up into the number two spot directly below Captain N: The Game Master.

Yeah, it's really best they never go into how you're meant to actually use a pipboy, as if you look at it, it has like two dials and four buttons or something close to that, and realistically it would be god drat hell to actually do the stuff you're meant to be able to using just them. There's no way copious swearing wouldn't be involved ever time you use it.

Like There's like two big red buttons, three white ones and maybe some hexagons. What they hell are they doing? But nope, the shot always just cuts away to the person next to the one trying to break through the door's "encryption" or have a droid stick their dick into it. And yet, it works, because the aesthetics of the things feel 'real' even though we never see their actual use. e: this, lol Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 16:23 on May 18, 2024 |

Bohemian Nights posted:get a load of this guy, doesn't know how to use the three holes XD I always assumed the big ones are "open" and "close" in very industrial and forever-lasting designed button design, and the third small one is a datajack to lock the thing with the pipboy USB-plug they sometimes use with machines, especially Vault doors.

They’re not buttons, and besides that you should never use the same color for open and close.

Hey, when you need to get a space station built that's as big as a small moon, sometime you run out of different coloured buttons and cut corners. A couple of floors are just a long corridor that goes past all the elevators, and doesn't actually lead anywhere else.

We see Sabine slice a door in Rebels by inputting specific patterns (Most prominently during the S3 premier, I believe?), but still no real explanation for how it actually works I'll take "Characters knows how it works in-universe without having to turn to the camera and explain how it works" any day of the week - it's its own kind of storytelling Just yet another weird gamism that doesn't really translate to real life, I suppose - it's goofy that it's a diegetic thing

Imagine how paranoid the contractor for the death star felt after it blew up and he thought it was because he ran out of the right color wires and just finished the last bit of it with black wire and he didn't know if he hooked it all up right. Then the rebels claim it was them.

The setting is Star Wars, but it's a relatable plot about working for a lousy boss. Chamale fucked around with this message at 23:35 on May 18, 2024 |

Anyone know why Cooper took that tooth out of the rear end jerky ghoul? All I got is maybe it's some indicator of how much the ghoul has rotted away or something, telling him whether is rear end is worth jerkifying.

I think it was a gold tooth. Also, teeth are sellable in general.

Here's a deep cut connection between the games and the show. Fallout 4 has intro videos when you load the game about the SPECIAL stats, of which C stands for Charisma. The video features our eponymous Vault Boy meeting the locals of the Wasteland and promptly getting stabbed in the right eye with a fork.

Add an 'autosaving' prompt in the top left corner whenever Lucy tries talking to people and then replay the scene six times until she finally passes the speech check (And give her silly hats to wear) Vinylshadow fucked around with this message at 07:05 on May 20, 2024 |

The worst part was that guy fell into the river so they couldn't loot him. Hopefully some bits were still left on the bridge. Also, add that to the show. Have someone explode and then Maximus goes up to their severed hand and loots a stimpack or something.

If he was selling teeth why not take the rest If you turn on Amazon X-ray you learn this was all a backdoor pilot for a spin-off about Roger, and how the enigma of his tooth would have dramatic ramifications for the Wasteland. Unfortunately that didn't get picked up, so we can only hope that they don't simply decide to ignore the mystery and address it in later seasons.
