I just realized I forgot to put "biggest" in my original statement.

Biggest [censored] of the wasteland!

I was also going to suggest going into vault 11 (my favorite vault) but it appears that you were able to read my mind before I was able to suggest it. Good job man!

I liked it too. Wish there were more vaults in the game. Experiments. I'm gonna get aroung to playing fallout 3 so that's one of the things I'll look fowards to.

NIcely done, the vaults are one of my favorite things to explore, alot of [censored] up [censored] there. Some Vaults in fallout 3 are not as special as they should be, alot of the time i was just shooting my shotgun at crazed vault dwellers while looting vault jumpsuits.

Between all of Vault Tec's crazy vault experiments (and there are a lot in FO 3 lol), I think Vault 11 is truly the saddest story. Wow, it's crazy what people will do...

Nice new entry there, Rooster! Enjoyed it a lot and yea, the sooner you accept that Veronica can never be more than a friend, the better. LOL

I'm still holding up hope, agrona. You never know what the future holds, she might wanna try something different.

I might get a six change, anything can happen.

Dear Journal, I bet you don't know this about me but I have a little problem with jet and Psycho ...

Every now and then I do something stupid and My friends Veronica and Boone have to take me over to the old Mormona fort. They made me go back yesterday after I made fun of a supermutant for taking the bunny slope. He beat me up pretty good.

so I'm gonna try to get clean, which isn't fun. The doctor's a nice guy too, he's very familiar with my case. His names Arcade Gannon. What a crazy name. He's a real nice guy, kind of shy though.

this once time to celebrate my sobriety I took him to the atomic wrangler. They had a girl there named Atomic Betty who did this crazy stage show with a robot named Fisto. It is must see!

Arcade had no interest! Some people aren't into that I guess. I bet he like's the quiet girls. I should introduce him to my sister, Janice.

With the battle of hoover dam coming up, I really do have to get clean though. I need to 100% focused.

unfourtenttnly it's affecting my detox. I'm having vivid nightmares. Last night I drept that Mr. House asked me to destroy the Brother of Steel's bunker.

I do some jobs for house everynow and then but that was like, harsh man!

So I told him I didn't wanna do it but he yelled at me and suddenly I was naked and we were at school and every one was laughing at me.

So ran into the brother hood of steel bunker and tried to hack the selfdestruct terminal.

it wouldn't let me so I had to pickpocker security cards from all the elders. Everytime I did it I heard my dad's voice in my head.

"I told you martha, this boy's no good!"

Shut up dad! But I couldn't stop myself. I activated the self destruct sequence and then I just sat there and cried.

I woke up in a cold sweat. Arcade inisted that it was part of the detox.

But I don't know ... It felt like when that shaman in Zion Canyon gave me that weird tea.

Maybe the great spirt is trying to tell me something. But what?

I don't know. But I gotta go. Arcade says it's time for another sponge bath. I hate sponge baths. It's really uncomfortable.

I bet Arcade hates it too though, so i guess I shouldn't complain.

You do realize Arcade aint that kinda doctor. He does research. I kinda feel like your starting to [censored] with the game facts.

Arcade IS that kind of doctor. He does research, but he also talks about his "covert bandaging skills being a little rusty" and his presence increases the efficiency of your healing items. And if you sell him to Caesar he acts as Caesar's personal physician.

It's kinda obvious that Arcade is "interested" in Rooster. Rooster just doesn't know it yet.

Dear journal. I had another "Vision" last night.

I dreamt I was at the Battle of Hoover dam and I had two Securitrons with me. they had these crazy death rays and they were frying everything in their paths.

they were frying legionaires, they were frying NCR troopers and brother hood knights and people who had nothing to do with Hoover dam at all. Raul Tejada, Marcus from Jacobstown, my old gym teacher, Mr. Marks...

I was yelling at them to stop but they didn't listen.

Then we were in front of the Atomic Wrangler and I saw Veronica walking out. I ran up to her but when she saw me she asked me if I had anything to do with the Brother hood bunker.

I lied to her. I told her I didn't know who blew it up. She looked down and said okay. She walked away and I couldn't follow her for some reason. I think she knew I lied to her. I never lied to her before and that changed everything.

Then Mr. House came over, he was outside of his computer and he had the body of a Nightkin I knew named Lilly.. He told me he just kicked out the NCR from the Mojave and he killed all the kings. I asked him why he would do that, he told me that it was for the better of mankind. I nodded.

when i woke up, Arcade assred me that the worst of the detox was over. We talked for a long time about who should lead the mojave. Arcade thinks it should remain independent. But I've been out there longer than he has, I think the NCR, while not perfect, has a system in place that would benifit everyone.

right now everyone is so divided, I don't trust their motives or their smarts to do it alone.

I don't tell Arcade that Benny had a robot capable of ousting the NCR and House from power. I tell myself that people smarter than me know what they're doing. But maybe it's because I haven't made up my mind yet.

After arcade left a representive of Mr. House came up to me. He said that the battle of Hoover dam will happen hours after the Presedent of the NCR visits the troops. he says he wants me to blow up the brotherhood of steels bunker to ensure that they aren't a problem when the dust settles.

Just like in my dream!

I told the guy that I had to think about it. Then I ran out of the fort and found Veronica. I told her that she wouldn't belive me, but she needed to tell everyone not to leave the brotherhood bunker or let anyone in.

She refused to go until i explained why. When I was done she didn't belive me and refused to go. She has history with those people and I guess it brought up bad momories. I'll tell you the sad story some day.

She also thought I was high again. That's a good reason to stay clean, so that'll never happen again.

I don't know who to turn to now. So I'm headed out to Colonel Moore at Hoover Dam. I'm blatently selling out House. I hope I'm making the right decision. Arcade is coming with to make sure I stay clean.

Im getting unsure if you really know what you are doing. Your like me in my first gameplay, except first i helped NCR, then finding out how many hated them, i did House, but when i was almost done with him, i found out poor people dont like rich as hell super powerful dictators.
You may think that you cant do a better job then NCR or House, but you are wrong. NCR is crumbling, they were awesome while they lasted, but unless hard work and much sweat is put into the NCR, they are gonna die.

This is gonna get interested. I say support the NCR. They need all the help they can get. Once they take over vegas they will be raking in the caps.

[censored] it this isnt about caps, you really think you are doing the right thing helping NCR? They are just another bloated monster swallowing in its own corruption,

Dear journal ...

Interesting Story, I saved the Presedents life today. I kid you not. I was watching him get off his vertibird, "Bear Force One" hee hee...

and I noticed this thing on the bottom. It was a bomb! So I played it cool you know? "Hey mister president, if you want I could take off that bomb for you ..."

so everybodies panicking, and I'm like, "I got this!" 5 minutes later that bad boy is defused! I'm playing hacky sack with it.

got a medal, but let me tell you the real interesting thing that happended today.

Arcade Gannon says he knows some peeps who might be able to help with the "Battle of Hoover Dam." I'm calling it that, hope it catches on...

He revealed to me that his dad was ... ENCLAVE!!!! And he knows a whole bunch of other Enclave dudes that could help! And they got their own Mother Fizz Ucking Vertibird!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I didn't know what to think about this. On one hand, I'm a huge NCR supporter, I like a representive republic, where people vote for their leaders.

On the other hand, the NCR could be alot better. And I know Arcade isn't willing to support them.

Just like in Zion Canyon, I can't sit this one out, the Dead Horses were my Brothers from other mothers. The people of the Mojave are my Brothers from My Mothers. I had two moms growing up. It wasn't so common back then, got teased alot ...

So should I bring in the remnents, as the call themselves? I don't know. Those guys sound scary, Enclave was no joke. Mean bastards. And they might be going for my throat if I back the NCR ...

Find out tomorrow. I gotta sleep on it.

Hey guys, RJ, Razalas, anyone else who may have stumbled upon my dead horse journal ...

I wrote this short story that has nothing to do with Fall out. So what I decided to do is, start a weebly website and post it on there. I'll definetly do a 4th draft of that one and maybe one other short story.

This might take about 2 weeks with my current schedule. so if anyone wants to check out those stories than you can follow me @RoosterSmith on twitter. I follow anyone who follows me.

I use the account to talk to writers on the enigmatic wrestling site. I write amature wrestling editorials there.

http://www.enigmaticwrestling.com/

Decided to take my writing serious for at least a bit.

Thanks for ready this goofy thread and if your interesed, I'm always looking for feedback....

Thanks....

OMG LOLOLOL Rooster, you crack me up! I love it! Well, yea, the Mojave throws a lot of tough choices at you. I was a House supporter during my first play through, but OMG you have no idea how bad I felt, blowing up the BoS bunker! I still have nightmares about it... not really LOL But yea, that and House taking out the Kings? Oh now there I draw a line! The Kings are cool cats, so this time, House will die!

Under what name do you write the wrestling editorials?

Carry on, Private!

Bring Enclave in and declare a free for all my advise.

The name on my birth certificate ... Rooster Smith .... ?

here's my latest, I think the topic was boring but I tried to make it interesting. It's for the EVE competition, you can vote tomoorow I think. the field gets narrowed down to 8 on friday.

http://www.enigmaticwrestling.com/what-the-nwa-should-have-been-eve/

Thanks for the compliment man, I felt a bit lost when I left Zion but I think the Battle of Hoover will pick things up.

Well written article! I'm not a big wrestling fan, but I saw Ric Flair at a festival we have here. He was signing autographs, I didn't stand in line though LOL
Your REAL name is Rooster? That's pretty cool! Thought it was just a "forum name" LOL!

Anyway, what about the other DLC's? You are not going to write about Old World Blues - that would be so funny! Or Lonesome Road, that would be deep and emotional!?

Roosters you are amazing i just started honest hearts and all i can say is your journal/dairy is very good. I believe you could of been the "god" they were talking about.

Gee thanks man. the last I time I called myself a God I wound up in a mental institution though...



Playing Fallout 3 now. I wanna get around to it. I hear they are really good. Thanks for the compliment about the review. I"m down liek 10-0 in the voting though, looks like I won't be moving on in the tourny.

However, with my short story that I'm working on, my wrestling writing days may be over. I don't like editorials as much as I like storytelling.

Dear journal, today me and Arcaged spent the entire day tracking down all the remnents. I was pretty nervous at first, but they're all pretty cool guys. Except for one. and he was the first we talked too.

His name was Orion or something like that, real D Word! We knock on his door, he doesn't answer. Then i walk inside, and he walks right by me. Not one word...

So I introduce myself and he says, "Ah hell! I forgot to lock the door again!" What a jerk! I wrote that down in my hurt feeling journal.

He hates the NCR, Orion. That's what I expected. But I made the mistake of wearing my "I love Beaver" t-shirt from Hoover Dam. he called it NCR propoganda merchandise. Called me a Bear Lover.

He agreed to meet up with the rest of the remnants. they had some kind of a bunker somewhere near Jacobstown.

The next guy we went to see lived in a cave deep in the mountains. His name was Cannibal Johnson. I told arcade that if he wanted me to talk to a guy named Cannibal, he was crazy! But arcade insisted he was a nice guy. And he was! Totally!

he has a little bit of a Death wish though. said he though I was the grimm reaper. We had a brief conversation over some squirrel bits. he mentioned multiple times that he wishes he died soon. He also said that he would love to meet up with the other remnents. When we left, Arcade told me that Cannibal was the Anti-Enclave soldier. He was actually a pretty cool guy who had to follow messed up orders. It blew my mind.

It was just like the days I spent witht he fiends...

There was a fellow in westside named Judah Kreiger. Something like that. He was the leader. He was also cool with the meeting. When we left him, Arcade metnioned that while Judah was always super nice to him, it might have been out of respect for his dad. Arcade's dad was in the same unit. He died in action.

I didn't know what to say to that. It seemed important for Arcade to fit in with the Remnents. I don't know why...

The Doctor who put in REx's new brain in Jacobstown? Henry? he was a remnent too! hot damn! agreed immediantly.

The last remnent was Good Old Daisy Whitman! Daisy! Ah man! Whenever I mosey into Novac, I always pay Daisey Whitman a visit. She's the freakiest lover I ever had, that one ... With or without the teeth in.

I'm shocked that she was a remnent. It made sense though. She used to be a pilot. And the NCR doesn't have a lot of vertibirds ...

Daisy wanted to come immediantly.

The meeting is all set, tomorrow we go to some hidden location. But why? To convince them to fight for an Independent New Vegas? Or the NCR? I still don't know...

Dear Journal! Arcade's gay!

Let me start at the begining. Stayed at jacobstown last night, had another "Vision." This time it was the Squirrel bits. I think they were bad.

I dreamt that I hacked Mr. House's terminal and upload Yes Man unto the lucky 38 mainframe. Then I ordered the Securitrons at the fort to attack the legion While me and Veronica wiped out the legion near the fort. We were fighting back to back with all my buddies at the NCR, but when the fighting was over I told Colonel Moore to stick it! The Mojave was free and independent!

She didn't like that but I had an army of securitrons. what could she do!?

I thought things would be great. Arcade told me that the NCR was ineffective and corrupt. But it turns out they actually did add something to the Mojave.

Suddenly I was at the Mormon Fort and there were people everywhere. They were all sick, or hurt, or dead. Arcade was running around trying to help who he could, but he couldn't help any of them. And I was frozen in place, I couldn't move.

There was a dead little girl laying out in the open. She suddenly stood up and walked over to me.

"Powder Gangers came to my school. With the NCR gone, there was no one to stop them."

Then Boone walked by, his face was Badly burned. "The Boomers got me," he said. "They're as bad as ever."

I wanted to apologize to everybody. But I couldn't.

I woke up. I knew I had to convince the remnents to back the NCR.

The next day we all walked to an old refueling station in the wilderness. I heard so many messed up stories about the Enclave that it was spooky walking into that bunker.

Inside, it was sick! Everything I ever dreamed of! Power Armour! A Vertibird! A strategy room!

I made my case, the NCR wasn't perfect but it was the only system in the Mojave that was actually working at all. Everyone else was dysfunctional, and only looking our for themselves.

Cannibal Johnson agreed and his support was vital to convincing the others. He said this was their chance to make up for the old Enclave Agenda. "For Auld Lang Syne."

Everyone agreed, except Orion. he stormed out. I followed him, but when I found him on the refueling deck, he was wearing Power armour. he was dressed for a fight. he said he wasn't going to help the NCR, ever! And then he opened fire!

If I wasn't wearing my combat armour, I'd be dead right now. ( I thought the trip from Jacobstown to the Bunker would be dangerous.) I took a few bullets to the chest.

Arcade was standing behind me. thank God he was there, he threw a pulse grenade at Orion. Orions suit shut down. At his age, he could no longer support the wieght. He collapsed to the floor and died hours later, of internal injuries.

Orions death cast a dreadful shadow over the rest of the day. The Remnents planned their attack.

I met up with Arcade outside the bunker when it was time to leave. He was wearing Power Armour now. I didn't even know it was him until he took the helmut off.

he told me he was going to fight with the Remnents at Hoover. He thanked me for gathering the group together.

AND THEN HE KISSED ME ON THE MOUTH!

Arcade's Gay! All of a sudden it hit me! The sponge baths! All the sponge baths!

I know in this day and age, being gay is cool. But I never met a gay person before! I mean, Veronica is gay. But ... You know ...

That's really hot.

Still, I was raised better, I shouldn't have acted the way I did! Running away and yelling, "Gross!"

I feel really bad about it. I should probably talke to Arcade tomorrow...

Dear journal, Legion Forces have gathered near the Dam. It'll be time soon.

I believe in my visions now more than ever. Because Colonel Moore asked me to destroy the brother hood bunker. I told the Elder about this. I thought there would be some kind of evacuation or possibly a skirmish. No the Elder actually made a truce with the NCR. The brother hood will fight against the legion at the upcoming battle.

Weirder things have happened but not much.

There are things that my visions could not have prepared me for. Moore also wanted House to be taken out of the picture. This time I agreed. The man wasn't a tyrant, I'll give him that. He was an autocrat. And I feel he would have been the best. But the best Auto crat isn't enough for me. I'd rather have an imperfect republic.

Late last night I sneaked into House's Control room. There, I saw the real House, not a face on a computer, but a real life person. Hundreds of years old? Looked like it. He was in some kind of Isolation Chamber, keeping the body alive so his mind could be elsewhere.

Man, I shut down his system, he had no control over anything anymore. The chamber opened and elevated him to an upright position. He asked me why I did it. I really didn't know what to say. "For the Republic? Didn't seem right. Because someone like you shouldn't ever be in power? didn't seem right either. maybe because in his mind, he was a just man. Maybe because he really did help a lot of people. Maybe because mankind owed him a debt.

I didn't say anything except that I'd get the followers to take care of him. He told me that he'd rather be dead. And as I looked at him, frail, cold with no quality of life, I couldn't blame him.

I flipped a switch and house was dead.

I went outside the lucky 38, feeling like crap. Veronica was there and so was everyone else. Arcade, ED-E Boone, Raul, Lilly, even old Rex was there.

They told me Intel came in sying the Battle of Hoover Dam was going down that night.

That means this might be my last entry. I'm confident that the NCR will win. Not so sure I'm coming out of this alive though. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, please remove all the dirty magazines from the lucky 38 presedential suite. I don't want my parents seeing that.
