Fallout: New Vegas/Shout Out: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

----

 

 

== Base game ==

* [[Metal Gear Solid|One of the brains you can heal Rex with comes from a dog named Rey.]]

* A drug addict expresses surprise and disbelief at [[Austin Powers|seeing corn in his... waste]].

* A domesticated mole rat in Sloan is named [[Dragon Age|Snuffles]].

* "[[Evil Dead|Good? Bad? The guy with the gun calls the shots.]]"

* There's a ''very'' subtle one that they really had to [[Shown Their Work|do the research]] to dig up - there's a minor, otherwise unimportant member of the gang known as The Kings carrying a unique barber's razor called Figaro. Examining the map reveals that the location he is found in corresponds almost exactly to the location of the real life Figaro's Barber Shop in Las Vegas.

* The Shotgun Surgeon perk likely alludes to the following [[Mexican Standoff]] dialogue from ''[[Kill Bill]]'':

'''Assassin:''' Not that I need to be at this range, but I'm a [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] '''''surgeon''''' with this shotgun! }}

* During the battle at Hoover Dam, heard over the NCR radio:

* House's obituary contains a small shout out to [[Lolita]].

* Listen awhile to Jerry The Punk come up with poetry he asks himself [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|"What rhymes with indulgent? ...Effulgent?"]]

* Ralph from Mick and Ralph's says "Like I always say, [[Robert A. Heinlein|a polite society is an armed society."]]

* When protecting the President, you have the option to make a report over the radio.

** Alternately, she's an Expy for an Expy, with the [[Bowdlerized]] Latino version of [[Fantomas]], who's portrayed as a sneaky superhero rather than the original source material's [[Complete Monster]].

** The cover is also a mirror image imitation of the Adventure Comics origin issue of Black Orchid.

* One of the sidequests involves a former Omerta trying to free his "dancer" girlfriend from her life at Gomorrah and running as far away from New Vegas with her as possible. His name? [[Carlitos Way|Carlito]].

* The name of one of the casinos, Gomorrah, could possibly be a shout out to a joke from ''[[Sister Act]].''

* [[Return of the Living Dead|Trash wants to be a ghoul.]]

** {{spoiler|And one of the Gun Runners Challenges is to kill him with a golf club.}}

* When speaking to Loyal about his sonic emitter, if your Science skill is too low to help him figure out how to make it work, you can say [[This Is Spinal Tap|"Oh. Does it have a dial or something? Turn it up to 11!"]]

* A dead prospector located in a heavily irradiated area called the Devil's Throat bears a strong resemblance to [[Duke Nukem]].

* Those versed in US finance will recognize NCR bear and the Legion's bull as symbols of the stock market, the bear and the bull traditionally representing a falling and rising market respectively. The NCR falling while pushing east, and the Legion rising with their conquests.

* A unique weapon in the game is "This Machine", named after Woody Guthrie's guitar "This Machine Kills Fascists". In response to that name, the phrase "Well This Machine Kills Commies" is written on the side of the gun.

* A really subtle one is a skeleton in the wasteland can be found lying on the ground with its arms reaching towards a first aid container. It looks eerily similar to a lot of dead NPCs in old FPS games like Half-Life, where trained soldiers had an odd habit of dying right next to med kits.

 

 

== Wild Wasteland ==

* Let's just say that [[Something Awful|Goons]] will be playing in utter glee with an appearance from Johnny Five Aces and company, not to mention the YCS/186 Gauss Rifle. Your Console Sucks is a subforum on SA, and its ID number is 186.

* In Nipton you find a pair of clothed, charred corpses outside of a house named [[Star Wars|Owen and Beru]].

* One of the more subtle Wild Wasteland occurrences is when you're exploring a disappearance in the casino of the White Glove Society: you discover the body of a fellow detective, a sunglasses-wearing man by the name of [[CSI: Miami|Caruso]].

* It was cut from the final game, but the game files show that there was supposed to be a creature that could only be encountered in Wild Wasteland: A unique Fire Gecko that had it's own unique breath weapon, was 3 times larger than normal fire geckos, and could best the Legendary Deathclaw in combat, making it the most powerful creature in the game. When spawned with the console it's just "Gecko", but it's name in the editor is [[Godzilla|Goj]][http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Gojira ira].

 

 

== Dead Money ==

* With Wild Wasteland, Dog will [[Memetic Mutation|OM NOM NOM]] on Ghost People.

* Again with Wild Wasteland, but the first time you kill a ghost person with Dean present, he'll remark: "[[Army of Darkness|He's not dead, it's a trick. Get an axe.]]".

 

 

== Honest Hearts ==

** Also with Wild Wasteland, talking to White Bird the shaman about the Rite of Passage causes him to say "Take drugs, kill a bear", a reference to the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/advice-dog#.TpjMm7K9Zvc Advice Dog] [[Image Macro]].

 

 

== Old World Blues ==

* The Book Chute telling you how to do your own "re-indoctrination" which needs [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|"a cage that fits over your head and a bag full of mole rats"]]. You also find his backup Personality Module in House #101. Plus, he's one big shout out to Fahrenheit 451.

* Once again with Wild Wasteland, [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110724194506/fallout/images/4/46/Kilroy.jpg Kilroy was here].

 

== Gun Runner's Arsenal ==

** Now that it's out, it's special move is in fact called the "Nuka Break."

* The special move for the Katana is called Unlabored Flawlessness. Unlabored Flawlessness is one of the most powerful weapons from the first game of the Xbox [[Ninja Gaiden]] series.

* One of the challenges is "[[Blade Runner|A Benefit or A Hazard]]," for destroying robots with That Gun, which was designed to resemble Deckard's gun from ''[[Blade Runner]].''
