Last night I decided to go back to Cailleach for a while. The Winter Soldier made a trip down the eastern bank of the Potomac and checked in with little Bryan Wilks to see how he was doing with his aunt in Rivet City. After spending the night in the hotel, she made her way north through the DC Ruins, and found herself in Seward Square. She did not much like the crazy guy preaching in the alley, or his mini-nukes, so she dispensed some magnetically accelerated silence. Afterward she came across the HQ of Reilly's Rangers, and even hacked the door to look around inside. No one was home. So now Caille is heading north to see if she can find where they went to.

Huggy Bear? .. That's a name I haven't heard in .. probably 30 years.

Joe did a lot of conversating with the townsfolk of Megaton. I purposely avoided anything to do with the Main Quest, but he spoke plenty with Moira Brown. I forgot how funny all the dialog with Moira is Bethesda at its most creative for sure. Anyways, Joe's very first quest shall be seeing if there's any food & supplies at the Super Duper Mart. I'm excited! .. That's a fun place to take down.

Joe spent his first night in Megaton at Lucy West's house. I RP'd that they got friendly. I happen to remember that Marge wound up hanging around the Waterworks (whatever it's called) in her early days, as she befriended the maintenance man who runs that place.

Ooh, have fun at the Mart! Loved that place in the beginning

Netflix has the old tv show, so I rented the first dvd a while ago and watched it. I almost cheered the first time Huggy walked on the screen. He was cooler than cool. Well, for the 70s at least!

And have fun at the Super Duper Mart! I love that place. Especially turning on the robot and then watching it go mix it up with the Raiders.

Ran around to various places in the middle of the map and in an arch N-W to N-E and then down to Tenpenny to sell off some loot. In the process some Deathclaws were obliterated with the Fat Man, first time I´ve ever used it in the field.

Oh, and I just got past 400 hours

SubRosa: Actually I think a modern version of Huggy Bear appeared in the Starsky & Hutch remake with Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson, so that's probably why that name rings a bell for me. I highly doubt I ever watched S&H as a child; was much more into cartoons and Brady Bunch.

mirocu: congrads on 400 hours w00t!! .. What sort of mods do you use (if any) in Fallout?

Thanks

I use a few... Can´t give the names now but there´s one that makes the caravans essential, one that enables you to have Lucy West as a companion, a mod that enables rideable subway trains and a minigun mod and a few mods for that itself.

The subway one sounds interesting. I've always wanted a motorized vehicle in the game. Not necessarily cars, but perhaps a small motorbike. It's totally possible somebody could figure a way to get something running I would imagine. Gasoline is still everywhere, too.

Hmm....

Gasoline? You mean atomic powered motors...

There's still plenty of gasoline in all those rusted car-hulks, right? This is how we're able to blow them up.

As far as I remember from the manual it´s the atomic power left inside the engines that blows them up. There´s never a word about gasoline, although they do have refueling stations..

Fiiine. Well, then my motorbikes will be powered by atomic power then.

Seems rather strange that we can blow up an atomic-powered vehicle, basically split some atoms, and we get an explosion that only covers a few dozen square yards. *shrugs* Shouldn't an atomic explosion decimate several city blocks at the least?

Ahh, what do I know? I'm only going by what I've seen in movies.

I don't remember the original Huggy Bear, though I did watch S&H back in the day...Loved the car!...

The one in the new film, I think was Snoop Dogg... ...I think...

I apologise, I have nothing Fallout related to add to the discussion...*Bows and scrapes whilst trying to walk backwards out of the door*...

...

In the fallout world America went all into nuclear power. Fission Batteries are everywhere, and even nuclear reactors have been miniaturized. Cars have small nuclear reactors that power them. So that is what makes them blow up like they do and cause radiation. It is pretty small for a nuclear explosion, but this is a game after all. I think they are actually about the same as a mini-nuke though.

The Great War was started over the last few drops of oil left in the world - in Alaska and the Middle East. By the end of the war I think Alaska was the only place left with any oil at all.


On the subject of the great Huggy Bear, Snoop is cool, but there is one and only Huggy!

Oh aye!!!...I remember now...He makes me laugh when he's turned up in other stuff... ...

Sorry...*Ducks*...So sorry, be going now... ...

Hey, McB! Get your donkey back in here and start posting some updates!

Right, so among ACII, Oblivion and Minecraft I have to add Fallout 3 to the mix too?... ...Oh...Yay...

...

Caille is still searching through the DC Ruins for Rielly's Rangers. Scouring Pennsylvania Avenue turned up nothing. Though she did find her way into the ruins of the White House. Or at least the ruins of one of the sub-basements. The house itself must have gotten a direct hit by a nuke, since there is nothing left of it.

After going through all of the sewers and subways running out from Penn Ave, Caille finally came to Vernon Square. The first thing she saw was Vault Tec HQ. So she decided to go take a look.

Ooh, that Vault-Tec is a fun place to raid!

Yup that's it. Snoop Dogg = Huggy Bear. This is getting really off-topic but



Interesting. Well I did find a rather cool motorbike mod?, so I'll probably get this one when I'm playing FO3 on PC.



Interesting I didn't know this. Is this fact divulged in FO3 or one of the earlier games?

Whoa we can go in the White House? .. Well of course... it is DC. Strange how I never really wondered about this, though. I've still not made it down to the Mall area yet.
