Fallout: New Vegas/Shout Out: Difference between revisions

 

== Base game ==

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

* One of the followers is [[Batman|a Ghoul named Raul]].

* 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]].

* Here's a little story about Jack and Diane... two Great Khan drug cooks doin'... [[wikipedia:Jack %26 Diane|the best they can]].

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

** This also doubles as a [[Shout-Out]] for the title character of [[The Barber of Seville]].

* 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:

** Also he orders unit 4 to back up unit 8, unit 15 to back up unit 16, and [[J.J. Abrams|unit 23 to wait for backup from unit 42]]

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

* 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.

* The unique variant of the Tesla Cannon known as the "Tesla-[[Hark! A Vagrant|Beaton]] Prototype".

* La Fantoma is obviously the female, Hispanic version of [[The Phantom (comic strip)|The Phantom]].

** 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]].''

'''Reverend Mother:''' ...and [[As the Good Book Says...|Gomorrah!]] }}

* [[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.

* Just outside Goodsprings you can find a refrigerator with a skeleton in it. [[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull|It's wearing a brown fedora]]. May double as a [[Take That]], since many people couldn't get over the fourth film's nuclear explosion.

* In a cave you must visit during a quest, you run into some [[The Princess Bride (film)|rodents of unusual size]]...

** On the wall in Cottonwood Cove (a Caesar's Legion outpost) is graffiti reading "[[Monty Python's Life of Brian|Romanes eunt domus]]".

* 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]].

* During tha battle of Hoover Dam, one NCR soldier will scream that the Legions' troops are [[Alien (franchise)|"...coming out of the goddamn walls, man!"]]

* 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].

 

== 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]].

 

 

== Gun Runner's Arsenal ==

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

** Another assassination-related Challenge is "[[300|Even A God-King Can Bleed]]", which you get for nailing Caesar in the head with a throwing spear.

* Two of the other One-Star Challenges added - namely, "The Same Could Be Said of All Religious Weapons" and "You Don't Belong In This World!" - are taken from the [[Memetic Mutation|(in)famous intro]] of [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]].
