"Much like who watches the watchmen, who milks the milk man?" The milk maid, obviously.

I love that one person in the streamchat only chats the lyrics of Big Iron

The true New Vegas experience isn't hearing "Big Iron" on the radio every five minutes, it's hearing "Johnny Guitar" every three minutes until it makes you turn off the radio.

I'm surprised josh didn't comment on the hidden tutorial in the beginning of the game. He has said he likes it when tutorials are done in an authentic way that doesn't take you out of the game, and FNV has probably the most authentic one there is. The game literally teaches you every important mechanic in that first quest line. How your skills affect dialogue, faction reputation, different ways of doing quests, how to craft, how to scavenge, how to lockpick, how to hack, that choices have consequences, all these things and you don't even know you are being taught that the rest of the game will use these same mechanics in varying ways.

56:40 The other pity about the DLC is all those popups at the moment you step outside to get your first view of the desolate Mohave. It should be such a cinematic moment and nothing is more its antithesis than a bunch of popups in your face.

There is some mod that delays them. Can't attest to its reliability.

I've only played FNV for like 2k hours but I had no idea you could shoot birds. It just never crossed my mind. I never even tried.

- The Milk Man

well, looks like i'm not going to do anything for the next 6 and a half hours.

Ya this game was all about the song Jingle, Jangle, Jingle

One of the best games of all time imo.

"What's your name?"
"Russ T"
"What's the T stand for?"
"Tetanus"

The Milkman build is what it feels like having ADHD. Good at nothing, Mediocre at Everything. Love to see it

Josh may get to design his own GSupps cup...?

The ambient background music for new Vegas randomly kicks into my head every so often, and I’m not mad about it

Every time he says "Powder Grangers" I die a little. Other than that, 10/10, no notes.

Just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying these vods lately, especially this stream and the Morrowind playthrough (although I'm still making my way through that one).
Cozy, relaxed vibes with some silly jokes that become familiar friends throughout the stream, some groan worthy puns and one liners (a mark of true pun quality) and just an all round nice time to be had.
I only found this channel fairly recently despite being an occasional watcher of the JS plays channel for a while and it's been an absolute delight to watch you experience New Vegas for the first time (even with your rather unconventional approach to leveling - I'm just glad you're enjoying it).
