Shower thoughts I had on a parody of the Fallout series

Submitted by Moonside in games (edited )

Fallout: Aloha. Trailer has Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world playing over advertising reel of a nuclear shelter located in Mauna Loa filled to the brim with tourists and tiki themed kitsch, until a nuclear blast takes off a piece of the volcano, sealing the shelter away from the world. But then a new danger arises...

Several features are advertised:

  1. You need to make moral decisions such as whether to nuke those who like pineapple in their pizza or not.
  2. In game radio is only IZ songs.
  3. Sailing mini game demands you to take sea currents and prevailing winds into account to travel into each island. Eventually this will reduced to following an arrow on the screen.

I was trying to mock how falloutiness has descended into empty signifies - mascot acting in a overearnest fashion, oldies on radio, nuclear symbology and literal nukes and everything being radioactive (when in the first two games radioactivity as a present phenomenon plays only a minor role and nuclear power and weaponry, while present, is mostly background), bottle caps as currency.

oh yeah i get it. but like "you need to make moral decisions whether or not to nuke people for liking pineapple on pizza" in the most recent fallout game you get to nuke people just because its cool. in fallout 3/nv you carry around a mini nuke launcher to fire on anyone you please

Inspired by the mind of yours truly, Hbomberguy vids on the Fallout series and getting into the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Facing Future (1993) album, which rules BTW.
