It’s the Pitts.

(Fallout 3 story from the The Pitt DLC)

To put it lightly, everyone in the Pitt immediately pissed me off. The slavers/raiders for being assholes, the slaves for being annoying. I would’ve just left immediately and gone back to the Wasteland, but I wanted to get at that ammo press and turn every bit of ammo I had into .44 and .308 ammo for my beloved Victory Rifle and its little buddy, Blackhawk. I’m doing this for you, guns!

I get there, I disguise myself as a slave and the dude at the front gate takes all my guns. I can only imagine the shock they must feel when they see how much artillery I am carrying around on me. If I kill a guy and he has more than one gun or more than 50 caps, I’m like FUCKING JACKPOT! I must’ve been there for hours, just putting guns and grenades and bullets and chems on the table. Don’t you fuckers break these, they’re very important to me. Don’t drink my whiskey either, just hold on to it til I come back and murder everyone.

I eventually get to the point where I’m gonna do some arena battles I guess and win my freedom. They gave me some shit guns and I’m like, whatever. Every battle lasted approximately 8 seconds as I walked into the arena, VATS, and shot the heads off both the other dudes. “LET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE E’ERYONE’S DEAD.”

I get all my guns back and oh good people have requests for me. They want me to pick sides and shit. Oh the slaves want a cure for the weird whatever thing sure fine that’s great. I get sent to talk to the Slaver bigwig dude. On the way I’m walking up through a large catwalk with various raiders that I would stop and talk to and then write their name on a sheet of paper titled “KILL LATER.”

“oh nice to meet you…O-Dog. Yes yes, I’m sure you’re very condescending. Lucky for me that pisses me off a lot. I will put you on the kill list. It is much longer than the don’t kill list because that list is empty.”

One chick, Vikia had a sniper rifle. And with the condition of my current rifle not being ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, I made a special note of where she was. As she tried to shoot some cans from not very far away at all, I talked to her and she was ALSO very condescending and rude! Excellent! I shot all her cans myself, and grinned as I left. She would be QUITE fun to kill and loot later!

Finally I get to wherever I was going, and make for the room that supposedly contains this “cure.” The cure is…a baby.

STEAL. A BABY.

Yes, I think I can do this. I mean as long as I ain’t keeping it, I’m just fencing it. I will totally steal a baby then.

I grab the kid and I guess Bjorn it to my torso, and took off running back out of the building. And lucky fucking me! All the raiders I had been listing to kill were upset me! Woohoo! I run down the ramps and catwalks, killing everyone and using the baby to absorb many a bullet. I lobbed nuka grenades into rooms and oh when I got to Vikia, yesssss it was glorious.

I kept running until I got to a point where I seemed unable to get…down to the goddamn ground. I was just running in a fucking circle, shooting raiders that were coming out of who the fuck knows where, looking at the ground below. Then I decided, as I often do, fuck it, I can jump that.

I hit a med-x, got a running start and leapt off the catwalk, yelling

“HOLD ON, BABY!!!!”

We survived the fall and I sold the baby for a cool…oh, access to the ammo thing, I guess that’s what I wanted.

Stupid baby.

I’m Making My Own Vegas! With Blackjack! And Hookers!

Well, getting the luck implant and the naughty nightwear really turned things around at the casinos for me as I am now banned from all of them. I didn’t get any free drinks in the Ultra-Luxe at all while I was winning though. Is this a bug? Or is it that dead guy on the floor that’s supposed to be bringing them to me?

And for the record, I did not kill that guy. I don’t know WHAT happened.

I finally went and talked to Mr. House again, who immediately demanded I give him in the Platinum Chip. He got all like pissy at me when I refused at first and then fucking called me names! You want to piss me off, that’s a good place to start. Officially going to murder him. Call me a primate what the fuck, at least I can LEAVE THE FUCKING BUILDING you piece of shit.

Then he makes me go watch as he upgrades his robots or whatever and I’m like really? Missile launchers? The machine gun and laser wasn’t enough to keep Joe Gambler in line you think you need fucking missile launchers? Fucking overkill much buddy?

And for the record, I will still kick that robot’s ass.

Also, I threw all the books off your shelves. They are in a huge pile on the floor now. That’s right, your fucking World Book Encyclopedia? It’s allllll out of order.

And this table you had set? It’s not set anymore. Who the fuck are you setting a table for anyways, you ain’t got no friends and your robots don’t eat food.

Gonna. Murder. You.

So, yes, I have decided to go for an independent New Vegas, by which I mean I will hopefully be the only one left alive.

Also I shot that Crimson Caravan bitch for Cass and now the NCR thinks I’m a Soft-Hearted Devil instead of Unpredictable. Maybe they’ll stop telling me to pick a side now.

Take The Things I Drop On You, Dammit, I’m Trying to Be Nice.

The other day a local in Freeside walked up to me to tell me something about someone being in the Lucky 38, gosh who could it be. IT’S ME. IT’S FUCKING ME. I HAVE BRIGHT BLUE HAIR I AM VERY DISTINCT LOOKING. Anyways, this local was filthy. She was just covered in dirt. I pulled up my pimp boy and dropped a box of detergent at her feet, but she walked away without even considering my makeover offer. Fuck you too lady.

Then I went to Gomorrah for a bit and tried dropping stacks of pre-war money on the prostitutes but they seemed unimpressed.

Today my plan is to get some clothes and an implant to up my luck. I am so sick of losing with 6 luck. It is the worst kind of losing. I get 19, dealer gets 20. I get 20, dealer gets 21.

I GET 21.

THE DEALER ALSO GETS 21. AAAUUUUGH.

FUCK YOUR CARDS FUCK YOUR CHIPS FUCK YOU ALL

I WILL INCREASE MY LUCK COME BACK AND DESTROY EVERYONE IN THIS GODDAMN CASINO.

Et Tu, Blue?

I’m hanging with the Khans. I’m not entirely sure I love them because of how violent they seem, but I’ve never seen them crucify people so that’s a big plus. They’re thinking of allying with Caesar’s people though and I need some evidence that Caesar is an asshole to convince them not to. I guess all the DEMONSTRABLE BEHAVIOR isn’t enough. He wants me to get his book that is where? In Caesar’s tent. Fuck.

I can’t even get near it because they all hate me so much. I tried disguising myself and the dogs find me, and everyone in his tent immediately makes with the murdering and I tried a stealth boy but the same thing happened, so finally I decided my only option was the GUNS ABLAZING one.

I loaded up on ammo and chems, grabbed Cass and Rex, and hopped on the boat to the Fort. And then uh…killed everyone. Mostly with my most glorious sniper rifle. (ALL HAIL SNIPER RIFLE)

I walked into Caesar’s tent and BAM ONE SHOT RIGHT IN THE BRAIN. WAPOW.

After all was said and done, I looted all the bodies and tried to tell the slaves there to GO HOME, but they wouldn’t. They just said “excuse me.” I opened the gate for the Brahmin and yelled “RUN BRAHMIN! BE FREE! ROAM THE WILDERNESS.” But alas, even his spirit had been crushed.

I went to Freeside next and was jumped by a thug. Cass shot him and I spent a while trying to prop his body up on a bench all Weekend at Bernie’s style. By the time I had him sufficiently posed, ANOTHER thug comes at me. And while in the middle of making him look like he just fell asleep on a pile of rubble? Another thug! I hid him in a bus stop and hurried to go about my business before more dead bodies showed up.

To relieve the stress of the day, I went to visit Santiago at the Atomic Wrangler and as we got our groove on, Cass suddenly says.

“Be careful if we go off the road.”

Haha uh, okay! Not really on a road here!

I See Dead Hookers.

I spent most of yesterday hanging out in Gomorrah. It’s probably my least favorite casino on the strip honestly because everyone there just tells me to fuck off constantly. Though I hate the Ultra-Luxe too…maybe Gomorrah wins out just for the abundance of prostitutes.

These prostitutes by the way, love to tell me how “tasty” I look. And that if they weren’t working, they would show me a good time. You’re a prostitute. Showing me a good time is your work. Then a gambler mentions that things are alllll stirred up on the Strip lately and did I hear? Someone’s been inside the Lucky 38! Also, did Benny beg for it when you offed him? Huuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrgh I’M LEAVING.

I went upstairs to where there are lots of pool tables and decided to waste time there. I took one of the triangles and a bunch of balls and tried to rack them but it didn’t work so I threw them on the floor and jumped up and down on them for a while. Then I took the triangles from all the tables and try to arrange them in a tessellation on one table but that was taking too long so I climbed on the table and jumped up and down on them. Then I threw everything in the room on the floor, punched a few shot glasses and empty whiskey bottles and finally decided to get on with the mission I was half-assedly doing.

I go check on the Camden or Clamden or Clanden or whatever the fuck his name is and find out, of course, he’s killing hookers. I did something and he got mad and I murdered him. As I left the room, I shut the door and told the guard outside that everyone was, naturally, quite fine.

After finishing the mission, I was doing some more meandering in the hotel when I found the dude’s hooker killing room. I open the door and…out walks a hooker. I try to talk to her, but instead get a prompt to examine the body. Uuuh okay?

“THIS HOOKER WAS MURDERED BY BEING STRANGLED YO”

Whaaaaaa? She’s…alive though she’s looking right at me. She’s…telling Rex that’s not what they mean by doggy style. Now she’s looking at me. Oh god, hide.

I hide behind Cass. The hooker keeps staring at me. Go away Ghost Hooker. Go awaaaaaaaay.

Whiskey time.

Aaaaaaah she’s walking over here.

“You look tasty.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Open Your Books to Page SIT THE FUCK DOWN

I headed up north to see the Boomers yesterday, and after like two days of doing little favors for them, I am IDOLIZED there.

The NCR though? Now I’m “Unpredictable.” Fuck you too NCR. I’m not unpredictable! It is easy to predict that if you all start trying to shoot at me, I am going to shoot you back. That is very fucking predictable.

I have killed huge deathclaws for you. Gathered medical supplies, healed wounded soldiers, brought back dog tags and legion ears, killed Fiends, disarmed a bomb on your fucking monorail, and helped fight off all the legion at Nelson. And you’re like, oh we don’t know if we like because you also seem to have a fucking spine when we are cocks to you. Well guess what I don’t like you either and the things neatly lined up on your shelves shall pay.

The Boomers? They fucking LOOOOOVE me. What did I even have to do for that? I killed a few ants, no problem. I did some going back and forth to get two lovebirds hooked up. I found a little girl’s goddamn teddy bear. I got fame just for talking to those kids and being all super charismatic.

I didn’t have to…take on an entire enemy camp for them. I was just fucking helpful and they were like Ooooooh man you are the best!

So fuck you NCR I am not helping with anything, I am moving into the barracks here and never leaving.

Oh also, I was in that schoolhouse with boomer kids at like 11 pm on a Tuesday and the teacher was nowhere to be found. What the fuck. I tried to substitute teach, but the kids wouldn’t even stay in their seats and shut up for like 10 fucking seconds so I jumped on the teacher’s desk, kicked everything off it, threw all the books off the shelves, and then left. PUBLIC EDUCATION IS BROKEN.

Ode To My Sniper Rifle

Oh Sniper Rifle.

Have my deadly armor-piercing bullet-babies that will fire out of you and into the sides of deathclaws who are not even aware of our presence, and then collapse to the ground in a slumped heap.

Oh Sniper Rifle.

You cost me mad crazy caps and to mod you cost even more but I regret not a single cap. Deathclaws do not frighten me now for you will keep me safe.

Oh Sniper Rifle.

Fuck those Deathclaws so hard. Fuck them. So. Hard.

Oh Sniper Rifle.

I am going to all the shops and buying .308 ammo and things to make more .308 ammo and things to make more weapon repair kits for I shall keep you shiny until the day I die of old age or of falling off something totally way too high that I was like “I can so make this jump” at even though I couldn’t, because with you next to me I will never be killed by any of the horrible monsters of the wastes.

Oh Sniper Rifle.

I love you.

Cass Is Like Everyone’s Grandma

I visited Michael Angelo’s shop and as he whined about his lack of inspiration, I offered to take pictures of Wasteland for him, since his pansy-ass is too pansy to go out there itself. He gives me a sweet “Codac” camera and I immediately point it at Cass and ED-E who are perfectly posed for a picture. I zoom in and Cass says to me,

“Don’t point that thing at me.”

..but, but…picture? You guys look so great!

I…

I took the picture quick and hoped Cass wouldn’t be upset with me.

Later as we wandered the countryside, I took a picture of something cool I saw. From behind me I hear Cass again

“Waste of ammo.”

It’s not a waste of ammo! It’s…well it’s film first of all, but it’s not a waste! These are our memories dammit! I’m gonna cherish these forever Cass! What the hell!

Now go stand next to that giant radscorpion you shot. SMILE!

Escape From (And Return To) Rivet City

(Fallout 3 story!)

So back in the day, my favorite place to wreak havoc was Rivet City. This huge boat, filled with people I found to be mostly just annoying, made for many opportunities to bother them. I would often climb on top of Bannon’s shop and shoot the items off the shelves in Seagrave’s shop. People would walk by and look at me and I would shoot the ground next to them and tell them to move it the fuck along.

When I first got to Rivet City, I met a chick named Mei Wong who told me she was an ex-slave. Noted. I went on to talk to everybody else, until finally running into a dude named Sister. One of the first things I could tell him was that so-and-so used to be slave. He leaves suddenly and I get negative karma! What the hell, I think. I tell everyone about Paulie’s horrible chem addictions, why did I suddenly get frowned at for this? Granted everyone already knew about Paulie…you can’t walk within 10 feet of the dude without him asking if you wanna go do some Buffout! No Paulie. I get my strength from whiskey, leave me alone. Go bankrupt your wife’s shop or something.

I investigate this Sister dude further and find out that he used to be slaver and presumably, recaptured Mei and she’s gone for good now. Well, suck. I’m not talking to him anymore.

I find Angela, and ask her how the seducing Diego thing is going. OH IF ONLY SHE HAD SOME ROOFIES I MEAN ANT QUEEN PHEROMONES. Well hey, I got some of those. I give ’em to her and she is like oh my god yes getting some from a celibate priest guy tonight.

I visit Flak, buy some .308 ammo. I tell James Hargrave to run away from home and he does. I laugh heartily.

I can’t get this annoyance at Sister out of my head though. I gotta…I gotta kill him. I have to.

Oh let me check on Angela first. They’re getting married! The wedding is tomorrow at 3pm! Fuck, you guys don’t waste any time. And I’m invited! Awesome!

I go looking for Sister and find his room. I know! I’ll rob him first, then he’ll walk into his empty pillaged room and I will pop out and shoot him! Hahahaha! I pick the lock and find that this fucker has NOTHING. He has a pile of scrap metal for me to steal. Fuck. God fucking dammit. There goes ALL OF THE EFFECT now. I stand there for the second when I see him bed. Ooooohmuahahaha. I will put…a mine. IN. HIS. BED. I check the clock. 8 pm. Wait til after the wedding tomorrow? No, I am impatient.

I throw the mine down and go stand outside his room. I wait an hour. Wait another hour. ANOTHER HOUR. C’mon dude. I look inside. The mine is still there, where is he? I wait another hour.

BLAM!

Suddenly everyone turns to attack me, as Sister has met his end on his bed. FUCK! Fuck fuck, I gotta run! I head down a hallway into door that says Stairwell. Up the stairwell, out the door and…shit shit shit. This is the top of the boat! No bridge to shore here! Fuck fuck! Uuhhh. I turn around to see security running out the door after me. I look over the edge of the boat. I..I think I can survive that? I hit a Med-X, back up, run and jump for it!

SPLOOSH!

I hit the water and survive, turning back to yell “SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR THE WEDDING!” I swim to shore, fast travel to Megaton, unload my stuff, take a quick sleep and fast travel back to Rivet City. I hurry down the bridge to find that everyone has stopped being mad at me, although the guard looked at me and said he was looking for troublemakers, have I seen any?

No sir officer.

I rush back inside, searching for the chapel. Finally find it, and awkwardly take a seat right up front just as Angela and Diego say their “I do”s and I get some good karma.

SUCCESS.

Oh God, This Is A Mess. I Have to Fix This.

Today I killed the Van Graffs. Then took their bodies and piled them up in the dumpster outside their shop. It took forever because of all the limbs that had fallen off, but goddammit I did it. I’m not gonna have those bodies rotting in the street, scaring customers away from the Atomic Wrangler after I worked so hard to get them a bunch of prostitutes.

Then I wandered over to Novac and into that tent they have outside. A Novac settler stood around in there as I threw all of the glasses and plates off the tables and counters and jumped up and down on them yelling “PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!”

I picked

so

fucking

much

prickly pear.

FUCK YES.

It was an excellent day, yes.
