Just figured out who Howard Hughes was...... Wow

He definitely could have done the commercials for "most interesting man in the world"....

It is incredible how much of his life is built into New Vegas.... Everything from H&H Tools, the plane in lake Mead, ruling Vegas, being locked up in penthouses, protecting Vegas from nukes.... It all matches this man in some way. Even his death reminds me of House how he was practically unrecognizable.... I think of House in the tube.

Reading about this man gives me so much more respect for House. A man that survived two plane crashes and came up with the idea for the modern hospital bed while recovering in the burn ward.... Crazy. This guy was truly fascinating.

There was a cool movie by Leonardo about him, was bit creepy since he had some weird stuff with his family going on. He was an impressive guy, I like the stuff where he bought the building across the street to shut off the sign cause it was too bright in his window lol, That's the kinda power you abuse:D

Wow is right. This is a renaissance man of our time.

House's image on his Lucky 38 monitor always reminded me of Hughes..and Vincent Price. But after learning about House, it was evident where the real inspiration came from.

It's also interesting to note that the famous painting of House in front of Liberty Prime looks a lot like a famous Hughes photograph.
