You've played too much Fallout 4 when...

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 4:05 pm

Ok, bit of a tradition I hadn't yet spotted on this board. Here is mine from today, I was talking at work with my boss when I spotted two fresh rolls of duct tape on his shelf and my brain went through the "hey yesh, duct tape, *yoink'" motions before some sensible part kicked in to explain we're in real world now. Got some explaining to do since I apparently had said that aloud :D

Duct tape.

The bane of Fallout 4 players in the real world everywhere.

Just be glad you didn't get a bottle of super glue stuck to your hand.

I got 99 problems and adhesive isn't one. I got 5 settlements devoted to Vegetable Starch farming.

What I do lack is copper.... My dads an electrician and all I can think is man, I would love to have all that copper wire when hes done with it..... Then realized that unless the Fallout World uses some other conductor in its wiring, copper wire should actually be all over the place. You could literally blow holes in walls and pull out miles of wire. In one house alone the amount of copper wiring is staggering. Literally all you should have to do to power some of those ruined houses should be placing 1 power conduit on it and it should power the entire house....

But like I said, in Fallout World, they could be using some other type of electrical conductor.

You check the forums every 15 minutes while at work to satisfy your Fallout withdraw.

This ^^^^^ :)

And yea, was in Texas visiting a friend and saw a pile of tires on the side of the road. I pointed at them and just called out RUBBER! Needless to say, my friend looked at me like I'm nuts, so I had to explain the Fallout junk system to her haha

Well there's a questionable apartment in the alley behind my apartment. Been raided by cops a few times. All types of shady people coming and going at all hours of the day/night, as well as, an increase of shootings in our area.

I knew I played too much when the other night it seemed like a fun idea to yell, "Yall dealing drugs back there?!" because I was honestly thinking "I'll just save first and reload if I don't like the outcome of the dialog choice".

I see dead people but none of them look like they were killed with the bloody mess perk.

Trying to grab bags of concrete. Yes, I was willing to grab a hardened bag of concrete that's been left outside a few months, to carry around comfortably all day in my inventory.

That, and mistaking especially wrinkled old men for ghouls from a distance :sadvaultboy:

When I spent my entire month income on a video card.

It was worth it. I don't regret nothing. (I live in a 3rd world country and I bought a GTX 960 OC)

Drove past a "Castle Drive" today on my way to an appointment. Immediately thought about how much I'd rather be Wastelanding.

An unexplainable noise makes you jump, and you reassure yourself by muttering "the jet will make you jittery!".

Or you catch yourself unintentionally singing "atom bomb baby atom bomb" when you're awake :bonk:

I think it weighs 500,000 lbs so you'd be a millionaire ;)
