10:27 hi tim!! i was actually a background actor for the filly scenes. i can confirm there were many background actors who were fans of the series. i’ve been a fan of the series for a long time so i went out of my way to try and connect with other fans on set. i trend i noticed even more frequently was that were many 40+ year old background actors who would talk about how their kid loves the series so they went out of their way to take the gig. multiple background actors with grandchildren told me about their adult sons giving them detailed run downs on the whole series and it’s lore and vibe so they would be better prepared and how they diligently listened. the set was amazing on that project, i met so many wonderful people
I cannot express in words how much I love these types of stories. It's so fascinating to see older people come to understand gaming truly is a rich art form with vast narrative possibilities.
I watched 1 episode and went back to playing Fallout new vegas and the first game as I lost interest. Show looked visually pleasing but incredible stupid dialog etc
Hey Tim, just letting you know that ppl do enjoy your development stories! I know they don't get much views or attention versus your other stuff, but even when it's a smaller audiance please know that those things are appriciated.
I have to echo this sentiment. I'm a solo developer with two very small in scope games on Steam, so hearing Tim's stories and insight is actually very helpful in letting me grow as a developer.
I love how Tim loves the entire Fallout franchise, the stuff he made directly and the stuff he didn't. Guy was going to wear Nuka Cola Quantum cufflinks. That shows what a class act he is.
as far as creation goes, inspiration can come from anywhere and with so many people on a project then the possibilities increase much higher. so although we may never know, you may be correct.
I have met Todd a few times and can confirm he is so nice. I got to tell him how important fallout is to me and how it helped me get through cancer and he was so sweet. I wish everyone could see that side of him, a super nice guy.
He's the face of bethesda so he's the one everyone blames for anything they don't like in anything bethesda has ever done even if he really had no say in it
Yeah, we need to get you to have an in show cameo. Even if just a background character or on a poster. Love the giddy enthusiasm you have for this show.
Please don't stop uploading!!! Your YT content is SO important. Refreshing perspectives and educational/insightful, which is what I use CZcams for and miss from the 00s of YT!
> ...because apparently my game development stories are not interesting to you people Tim, we never said that XD Thanks for your thoughts on the TV show nevertheless :D
I love the fact that Tim is so proud over the idea that a one-off character's posture might've been inspired by a Fallout 1 animation As if the entire show isn't already based off his creation
You mean the part where he pulls a cartridge from his bandolier, goes to put into the rifle, and then realizes part way through that the prop is way too big for the loading gate? They should have done a second take.
Dude, you are so humble and adorable, and it’s so incredible that you’re getting all of the attention and love that you deserve for creating one of the greatest gaming franchises ever. I also didn’t know about your coming out until recently, and as an elder gay guy myself, who moved to California in my early 20s and binged through Fallout as a method of dealing with the isolation and depression of moving to a new state without any friends or family - I can honestly say that you helped save my life. I also vividly remember how amazing it was to play a game in the early 2000s that had, to me, obvious queer themes and moments was indescribable. It helped me feel seen, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Be well, man. Wish all the best for you.
The internet has jaded me so much that I expected this to be a guy complaining about what others have done with his creation. Turns out Tim is a delight.
Honestly pleasantly surprised to see him actually enjoy and love what they've done. Of course, you still have the fans who are convinced he's lying and that they know him better than he knows his own opinions lol
On the topic of Fallout 1, I’ve heard you say numerous times that there is so much of you in that game. Can you elaborate further? We’ve heard a ton about the development, the crew, the headaches. Can you dig into the more emotional aspects of “ There’s so much of me in that game”.
@@pracitus I have watched all his videos, he doesn’t get to deep into how he has in put his feelings, emotions, and self into the game. He usually talks about his personal interests at the time. When some one says “there’s so much of me” I’m inclined to take it as, there are characters, story’s, struggles that I have put in the game reflecting my own stories and struggles. That’s what I’m looking for, Tim’s human element worked into the game.
Hearing you tell this story really brings to light how important of an impact you made to not just Bethesda, but to the world as a whole. Was a very honorable thing for Todd to invite the original founding fathers of the franchise to this event and others. We as fans of your work are so happy to hear that they are keeping the spirit alive!
Tim, you don't know me and I never had the chance to work with you. I did get to pitch Fallout to Bethesda before Interplay ended (of course, they already knew what they were going to do and only listened to this know-nothing "producer" to show face - and I appreciated that). I did work with the Black Isle guys and kept contact for a bit... Anyway, I loved the show and have an incredible amount of respect and admiration for what you all did. The fact that many, who never have (and never will) played the games, get to appreciate the world is fantastic. Thank you for creating an IP that was/is truly unique, entertaining, and that provided a lot of work for some of us to remember fondly. I am happy to see that the show is a success and hope that it will mean good things for you, Chris, Brian, and so many of the other talented people associated with Fallout.
yeah, in here, people who ever heard of fallout, yet alone playing it, is very very little. and what i saw? it was an ad for fallout show on everywhere. imagine bethesda manages to make a new fanbase from a new country
I've heard of grandma's who got to see the show because of their (grand)kids and loving it. And all those 'oldies' mention the excessive gore but still love it all the same 😂
Hey Tim, I just realized you're the one to thank. Your game series changed my life forever and it got me through the WORST years of my life. Thank you for everything, man. You're the best!!
Walton Goggins did an AMAZING job as Cooper Howard. A lot of cool stuff in the series, but for me, he stands out. The way he walks, talks, and throws in dark humor and *cough* bullets at people's faces is both hilarious and at times slightly scary. Howard is the type of guy you don't really want to have around you, but at the same time, you know he is the type of guy that you would want to have around you when the shit hits the fan. His backstory is also interesting and his synergy with Lucy MacLean played by Ella Purnell was brilliant. I didn't like Lucy MacLean when she was inside the vault, but just as you as a Fallout character slowly realize what life is all about in the wasteland, she also evolves into someone with a bit more grit and rust.
Out of all the characters I would happily travel with Cooper Howard. Plus he'd probably get annoyed at all the holo-videos I gather about westerns, and talk westerns, or correct my knowledge.
I love Goggins' work and he was the reason I decided to give the show a chance. Truth be told, I'm a Fallout Purist and a Bethesda Hater, but the show is pretty cool so far
This is such amazing insight into the event and everyone you interacted with. Thank you for sharing Tim! Also I love all of your videos, you have a lot enthusiasm while speaking about different things.
If possible, maybe do a conversation on your channel with Brian Fargo? You could talk about the past, views on games, and how there's nothing in regards to a beef. Honestly, it would be cool just to see you two discuss aspects of RPGs and why you both felt compelled to make ones based on a nuclear wasteland.
Tim can you please do a recap addressing your thoughts after you watch the whole series? You are literally the only person who's opinion I am interested in hearing in regards to the evolution of the story, especially because of the location it is taking place in. Thank you for doing this one
Hey Timothy. I just played Fallout for the first time and decided to start with your first game! What an amazing and fun experience. Seriously fantastic and holds up perfectly. Can't say enough about it. Much love and thank you to you and your team.
Have you seen the fan made series, from years ago, Nuka Break? It has millions of views and the creators just picked it up again(after the first company pulled a fast one and ended things).
You are very respectfully modest Tim. Every attendant at the premiere should have given you a royal greeting for the work you've done by starting this entire saga.
It has to be amazing to see your original creativity come to life on the big screen. Who would have thought those many years ago when you were gathering friends to make a game, that it would lead to this? You just never know how far and wide your art will travel once you release it into the world. You released Fallout from the vault of your mind and here we are! Thank you for being you and sharing your talents!
I was just about to comment that Todd in that photo looks like one of them cardboard cutouts of a person that was printed a bit too small lol. I guess if you've only ever seen a person on camera, it's difficult to know their actual height. So when you get a bit more of a frame of reference, the size difference can be quite jarring.
Your development stories were the thing that brought me to the channel. Love love love them and really lovely to hear your thoughts after watching the show. Was thinking of you the whole time I was watching it.
Thanks for that, Tim. Delighted you and Brian Fargo are still on speaking terms. The "Why I left Fallout 2" video (think it was that one) gave me the impression you had both fallen out (no pun intended) quite badly
Fallout overall has meant so much to my life and all of this joy and passion surrounding it rn truly brings tears to my eyes. The show absolutely does the universe justice, and i am thrilled to see where it goes carrying forward. I mean it when i say thank you Tim for your part in delivering this gift, and your continued enthusiasm in sharing it!!!
This is my first comment in any of your videos. I've been working in this industry for over 15 years. Your development stories are VERY interesting! You documenting your methodologies and thinking process is priceless, please continue telling stories!
Tim I LOVE your development stories. I watch every single one of your videos. As an aspiring developer you are the only channel that i have found really great advice and insight and it has been so so invaluable for me.
So happy for you guys, Mr. Tim. Genuinely a wonderful full circle thing for video games, and seeing you guys like it makes it even more enjoyable a watch. Truly, congrats.
Hey Tim, I have been having a blast listening and watching all of your videos, especially the development insight. It really makes me appreciate your work and the work of so many other game devs so much more. Love what you do, keep it up!
I couldn't help but smile listening to this. So wholesome to hear your positive impressions and all the little stories from the premiere. Especially glad to hear the writer is a fan of every fallout. Also really appreciate your soft pushback towards some of the more combative fans - I know its out of passion but the toxicity often bums me out. ALSO HOLY CRAP YOUR DEV STORIES MAKE MY DEV LUNCHES BETTER EVERYDAY - please know that we love them so much.
i Tim, well, just being here already says how much I love Fallout. Thank you for creating it, it must be amazing to see something you helped create back then turning into a TV show for thousands of people. Even being just a consumer myself, I found it incredible. I also found myself looking at the background and products several times instead of reading the subtitles, kkkk. The series is amazing, above average.
That's nice to hear that your still included in the Fallout franchise to some extent, it's nice that Todd reached out. I've yet to see the show. It would be pretty cool if you had a cameo at some point.
Hi Tim, I just wanted to swing by and say that I've seen your name mentioned in articles on my Google news feed and I'm glad you're getting notoriety. Your values, worldview and generally how you go about treating others is a large part of why I enjoy listening to your stories and experiences. Cheers!
Tim being focused on the props and background is so relatable. I had to replay some scenes to listen to the dialogue because I was too busy spotting out Easter eggs and other details😅 This show is truely amazing and the greatest homage to the fans
I'm so glad you got to be a part of this show. There were a ton of moments where I was just amazed that this thing you brought into the world had spawned such an amazing world of its own. I kept looking for your name in the credits, but didn't find it so I'm glad that they did recognize you in some way. Even better that you enjoyed it -- I just finished it and it makes me want to play Fallout again.
Tim, thanks for the video. Felt like I was there and always enjoy how much of a natural storyteller you are. And completely agree with your message of empathizing with the people behind the art we love rather than just consuming it and tearing people down.
What a lovely and nice person you are, Tim, such a pleasure to listen. The show is truly amazing, having a great time watching it. And, of course, thank you, for everything.
The early development of Fallout is one of my favorite topics. Very, very happy and grateful to hear your stories. You know those Director/Producer commentary DVDs on great films? That's my jam. As a dedicated gamer I wish we had that. Your channel is providing that story. A very precious part of our collective history. Thank you.
The amount of insight that comes from these videos and Tim’s stories is unmatched. We get a deep look behind the scenes of how legendary games come together. I always come away from these stories and Tim’s personal experiences inspired and entertained. Tim, you inspire creativity by sharing your stories, sometimes even providing unknown encouragement to keep us building and creating stories of our own. Thank you for sharing your life with honesty, compassion, kindness, and integrity. You are legendary 🧙♂️
So glad to hear you enjoyed the first two episodes and got to go to the premiere! Also glad you were able to connect with Brian Fargo and just chat about the old days. It’s not worth holding onto grudges forever. Great video, Tim!
Oh brother, I freaking love your dev stories. What a treat to have (not trying to inflate your ego) an icon of game development so available to share wisdom. I used to read your name in wikis and always wondered what kind of a man Tim is, glad to get a glimpse into that.
I’ve been smiling this whole video I’m just so excited for you I could only imagine how you felt at this event how awesome! Thanks for giving us this update I loved the show as well excited for many more seasons to come
Hi! I’m a longtime Fallout fan, and I just want to thank you for helping create one of the most wonderful, exciting, moving game universes to ever grace the earth. Fallout has been with me through my highs and lows, have kept me motivated, inspired, kept me moving! Thank you for everything. And I love your developer stories! So many of us do :,) It’s so helpful for me, as an aspiring game developer and designer! Much love!
I can relate to you wanting to watch this again and it happened to me also, just admiring the props and set without concentrating to plot at all. I was just in awe because I'm such a fanboy of the game series since the first installment. Also the "loser villager" thing makes perfect sense now that you pointed it out. Great video! 👍
On the "development stores are boring" mention at the start: I JUST found your channel today, and I'm really excited to go through your backlog of videos. I love hearing people gush about their experiences and their hobbies, their work and craft. Mix that with one of my favorite games and I just can't wait. If you see a slow and steady uptick in all your videos 1 by 1, that's me :)
Not TV series-related, but I wanted to say this because you mentioned it: I recently started making video games reviews, and your entire channel for me is like a deep dive into understanding a lot of what happens behind the scenes. I feel I'm getting a higher "professionality" just listening to you. I always want to learn and improve, so keep up the good work, Tim. You are actually teaching to a broader audience right now. I'm also old enough to remember the first Fallout, actually one of my first games ever was "The Lord of the Rings Vol. I" from Interplay. The memories.
mad respect to Todd and all of Bethesda for keeping you a part of all this knowing its your lovechild and its just as important to you to see the fallout IP flourish. I think people feel disconnected from the creators when they reach a certain level of success but the fact they keep you in the loop is a testament to how much they love and respect your teams work and their own. it clearly is a product of passion and it really shows on the big screen. Ill always treasure the work you all put in as creatives even when things dont turn out, and i think another indicator of that is the homages they pay to obsidians new vegas. Its clear to me fallout means more to you and them then just who is creating what and is more of love for the franchise as a whole cheers for the insight Tim.
Thanks for sharing, and congratulations! It’s got to feel pretty amazing to see your creation from so long ago brought to life in a new medium and so incredibly well by others who love it. :)
You touched on it a few times on how dehumanizing gaming fans can be. I think it’s a really serious issue that doesn’t get addressed enough. Glad you had fun 🙏🏻
It's not specific to gaming fans; it's fans of anything. Take Star Wars for example with how fans treated the Jar Jar actor or child Anakin. Or how Star Trek fans treated the Wesley Crusher actor. Or sports fans. Every fandom has its share of assholes. It's an inevitability. By all means though, assholes should be called out and shamed for being assholes, but there needs to be an understanding that the assholes are a vocal minority and not representative of a fandom at large, and as a fandom grows larger and larger, a splinter fandom of bitter assholes are going to appear and grow alongside it without fail.
This is great - was thinking of you while watching and wondering what you thought. My favorite line: "Nobody noticed... but I knew it was there." Much love.
I know this is a complete side note, but it just occurred to me to ask: Does anyone know if Leonard Boyarsky (as the architect of Fallout's aesthetic consistency) gets these kind of invites?
The visuals and props in the show were absolutely amazingly done. I binged it in 2 days. I'm going to rewatch bc I'm sure I was like you, where I missed some things bc I was just in awe and tears of happiness being a longtime fan of the franchise since I played the demo for the 1st game in April 1997. :)
These development insights are so golden, I can't believe that we have an indirect line to someone as legendary as yourself Tim, These are and will always be appreciated.
“You guys can be really destructive, which is odd that you do it to people who are trying to make things.” Wise words. If there is one downside to being invested in gaming, it’s that a lot of gamers have a very negative and aggressive approach to content and creators. It can lead to pointless conflict.
That's modern fandom in general really. For one, we have this entitled sense of ownership over things we like, and two, we have an access to famous people now that we never had before. So that sense of entitlement starts to become toxic in that we start throwing our opinions around like they should have weight (and throw tantrums when we realize they don't) and we also start to talk to complete strangers like we know them personally and have a right to weigh in on their personal business. People really need to step back and get some perspective.
I imagine this is like that guy at a party meme "They don't know I created Fallout"
This made me laugh, thank you. So true tho
I think it’s nice that Todd always seems to make a point of inviting Tim whenever there is a big Fallout related launch or event.
Actually kinda warmed my heart as well.
Yeah it shows he really does respect Tim and love Fallout as a franchise.
Todd has always said he takes his inspiration from Fallout 1 instead of Fallout 2.

He is a great actor. I was afraid he was going to fall victim to type casting after The Shield. He had a few jacked up roles.
Out of all the characters I would happily travel with Cooper Howard. Plus he'd probably get annoyed at all the holo-videos I gather about westerns, and talk westerns, or correct my knowledge.
I love Goggins' work and he was the reason I decided to give the show a chance. Truth be told, I'm a Fallout Purist and a Bethesda Hater, but the show is pretty cool so far
@@_itsallahoax Lol, go watch him in Sons of Anarchy. Trans escort. Like full stop. Tragic story too. His performance works so well in it.
This is such amazing insight into the event and everyone you interacted with. Thank you for sharing Tim! Also I love all of your videos, you have a lot enthusiasm while speaking about different things.
I also spotted the loser villager and agree it was a pure homage to Fallout 1.
If possible, maybe do a conversation on your channel with Brian Fargo? You could talk about the past, views on games, and how there's nothing in regards to a beef. Honestly, it would be cool just to see you two discuss aspects of RPGs and why you both felt compelled to make ones based on a nuclear wasteland.
I would love to see that. They have different viewpoints so it will be a great discussion.
Yes, please this.
I am interested in what people think the beef would be with the two of them. From my knowledge they just went their own separate ways.
@@animetodamaximum People really read way too much into things, believing that people are either enemies or the best of friends.
Would be extremely cool
Tim can you please do a recap addressing your thoughts after you watch the whole series? You are literally the only person who's opinion I am interested in hearing in regards to the evolution of the story, especially because of the location it is taking place in. Thank you for doing this one
Hey Timothy. I just played Fallout for the first time and decided to start with your first game! What an amazing and fun experience. Seriously fantastic and holds up perfectly. Can't say enough about it. Much love and thank you to you and your team.
Your delivery and authenticity is spot on please keep on sharing ANY stories that come to mind!!
Have you seen the fan made series, from years ago, Nuka Break? It has millions of views and the creators just picked it up again(after the first company pulled a fast one and ended things).
Wait you mean the original team have it again? Gotta go look this up
@@ashleywilliams4896 i don't think they have it. i meant picked up making a fallout series.
Tim was in it!
@@MrGrim-ib4ix lol cool. i've just watched a couple of episodes.
Nuka Break was special. Can't believe it's been so long ago. Time flies
I can't thank you enough, because without you, Fallout wouldn't exist, so thank you!
This channel is a treasure. Thanks for sharing all these stories!
You are very respectfully modest Tim. Every attendant at the premiere should have given you a royal greeting for the work you've done by starting this entire saga.
It has to be amazing to see your original creativity come to life on the big screen. Who would have thought those many years ago when you were gathering friends to make a game, that it would lead to this? You just never know how far and wide your art will travel once you release it into the world. You released Fallout from the vault of your mind and here we are! Thank you for being you and sharing your talents!
Looking at the picture, Tim is like two times the Todd.
Looking at their hair, maybe Todd's three times the Tim.
@@suejak1 But when talking about gamedev, Tim talks about 16 times the detail.
Which is surprising because Todd Howard has said he is 6'2, so I'm guessing Tim must be 6'7!!!!
I was just about to comment that Todd in that photo looks like one of them cardboard cutouts of a person that was printed a bit too small lol. I guess if you've only ever seen a person on camera, it's difficult to know their actual height. So when you get a bit more of a frame of reference, the size difference can be quite jarring.
@@retrolinkx he's 168cm, so 5'7
Your development stories were the thing that brought me to the channel. Love love love them and really lovely to hear your thoughts after watching the show. Was thinking of you the whole time I was watching it.
incredible insight, and none of this would of existed without you! You're the man!
Thanks for that, Tim. Delighted you and Brian Fargo are still on speaking terms. The "Why I left Fallout 2" video (think it was that one) gave me the impression you had both fallen out (no pun intended) quite badly
I enjoy stories about people working out past situations like this. Also, congrats on being a part of something like this.
Thank you for sharing all your awesome stories and making this universe possible.
Fallout overall has meant so much to my life and all of this joy and passion surrounding it rn truly brings tears to my eyes. The show absolutely does the universe justice, and i am thrilled to see where it goes carrying forward. I mean it when i say thank you Tim for your part in delivering this gift, and your continued enthusiasm in sharing it!!!
This is my first comment in any of your videos. I've been working in this industry for over 15 years. Your development stories are VERY interesting! You documenting your methodologies and thinking process is priceless, please continue telling stories!
I agree.
You're a gem. Thank you so much for the years of joy your work has brought me since 1996. Couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon this channel!
Tim I LOVE your development stories. I watch every single one of your videos. As an aspiring developer you are the only channel that i have found really great advice and insight and it has been so so invaluable for me.
So happy for you guys, Mr. Tim. Genuinely a wonderful full circle thing for video games, and seeing you guys like it makes it even more enjoyable a watch. Truly, congrats.
Hey Tim, I have been having a blast listening and watching all of your videos, especially the development insight. It really makes me appreciate your work and the work of so many other game devs so much more. Love what you do, keep it up!
I couldn't help but smile listening to this. So wholesome to hear your positive impressions and all the little stories from the premiere. Especially glad to hear the writer is a fan of every fallout. Also really appreciate your soft pushback towards some of the more combative fans - I know its out of passion but the toxicity often bums me out.
ALSO HOLY CRAP YOUR DEV STORIES MAKE MY DEV LUNCHES BETTER EVERYDAY - please know that we love them so much.
Great story Timothy, made me smile on a down day. Glad I found your YT channel, keep up the great content. These memories and stories are important.
i Tim, well, just being here already says how much I love Fallout.
Thank you for creating it, it must be amazing to see something you helped create back then turning into a TV show for thousands of people. Even being just a consumer myself, I found it incredible. I also found myself looking at the background and products several times instead of reading the subtitles, kkkk.
The series is amazing, above average.
Pretty awesome that Todd Howard invited you for all these major Fallout events!
That's nice to hear that your still included in the Fallout franchise to some extent, it's nice that Todd reached out. I've yet to see the show. It would be pretty cool if you had a cameo at some point.
Hi Tim,
I just wanted to swing by and say that I've seen your name mentioned in articles on my Google news feed and I'm glad you're getting notoriety.
Your values, worldview and generally how you go about treating others is a large part of why I enjoy listening to your stories and experiences.
Cheers!
Tim being focused on the props and background is so relatable. I had to replay some scenes to listen to the dialogue because I was too busy spotting out Easter eggs and other details😅
This show is truely amazing and the greatest homage to the fans
Hey Tim, I'm 21 years old and have been playing your games since the 5th grade. Thank you for your hard work creating my childhood
I'm so glad you got to be a part of this show. There were a ton of moments where I was just amazed that this thing you brought into the world had spawned such an amazing world of its own. I kept looking for your name in the credits, but didn't find it so I'm glad that they did recognize you in some way. Even better that you enjoyed it -- I just finished it and it makes me want to play Fallout again.
Tim, thanks for the video. Felt like I was there and always enjoy how much of a natural storyteller you are. And completely agree with your message of empathizing with the people behind the art we love rather than just consuming it and tearing people down.
What a lovely and nice person you are, Tim, such a pleasure to listen. The show is truly amazing, having a great time watching it.
And, of course, thank you, for everything.
The early development of Fallout is one of my favorite topics. Very, very happy and grateful to hear your stories. You know those Director/Producer commentary DVDs on great films? That's my jam. As a dedicated gamer I wish we had that. Your channel is providing that story. A very precious part of our collective history. Thank you.
I'm pleasantly surprised to hear you talk about this.
The amount of insight that comes from these videos and Tim’s stories is unmatched. We get a deep look behind the scenes of how legendary games come together. I always come away from these stories and Tim’s personal experiences inspired and entertained. Tim, you inspire creativity by sharing your stories, sometimes even providing unknown encouragement to keep us building and creating stories of our own. Thank you for sharing your life with honesty, compassion, kindness, and integrity. You are legendary 🧙♂️
So glad to hear you enjoyed the first two episodes and got to go to the premiere!
Also glad you were able to connect with Brian Fargo and just chat about the old days. It’s not worth holding onto grudges forever. Great video, Tim!
Oh brother, I freaking love your dev stories. What a treat to have (not trying to inflate your ego) an icon of game development so available to share wisdom. I used to read your name in wikis and always wondered what kind of a man Tim is, glad to get a glimpse into that.
Tim, I can't believe how great this must be for you. To go from making a tiny little game in 1997 to getting a Hollywood premiere. Grats!
Thanks for sharing :) I binged it with my dad the night it came out for us, and we loved it! I geeked out at many of the set pieces and mentions
I’ve been smiling this whole video I’m just so excited for you I could only imagine how you felt at this event how awesome! Thanks for giving us this update I loved the show as well excited for many more seasons to come
Hi! I’m a longtime Fallout fan, and I just want to thank you for helping create one of the most wonderful, exciting, moving game universes to ever grace the earth. Fallout has been with me through my highs and lows, have kept me motivated, inspired, kept me moving! Thank you for everything.
And I love your developer stories! So many of us do :,) It’s so helpful for me, as an aspiring game developer and designer! Much love!
I can relate to you wanting to watch this again and it happened to me also, just admiring the props and set without concentrating to plot at all. I was just in awe because I'm such a fanboy of the game series since the first installment. Also the "loser villager" thing makes perfect sense now that you pointed it out. Great video! 👍
On the "development stores are boring" mention at the start:
I JUST found your channel today, and I'm really excited to go through your backlog of videos. I love hearing people gush about their experiences and their hobbies, their work and craft. Mix that with one of my favorite games and I just can't wait.
If you see a slow and steady uptick in all your videos 1 by 1, that's me :)
Your game dev stories are amazing, thank you so much for creating Fallout and giving us all such an awesome world to play in!
Your generosity to appreciate what people have done with your ideas is a thing of beauty.
Especially when they retcon most of his work, and he still appreciates it!
@@cleverman383except, they didn't
I really enjoy the recount stories, thanks for sharing Tim!
Not TV series-related, but I wanted to say this because you mentioned it: I recently started making video games reviews, and your entire channel for me is like a deep dive into understanding a lot of what happens behind the scenes. I feel I'm getting a higher "professionality" just listening to you. I always want to learn and improve, so keep up the good work, Tim. You are actually teaching to a broader audience right now.
I'm also old enough to remember the first Fallout, actually one of my first games ever was "The Lord of the Rings Vol. I" from Interplay. The memories.
Admittedly I haven't watched all of your videos, but watching this one felt like talking to an old friend. Loved it. Keep being awesome, Tim
I adore your game dev stories, but this was really cool too. I love that you got to talk to Brian Fargo. Couple of legends.
mad respect to Todd and all of Bethesda for keeping you a part of all this knowing its your lovechild and its just as important to you to see the fallout IP flourish. I think people feel disconnected from the creators when they reach a certain level of success but the fact they keep you in the loop is a testament to how much they love and respect your teams work and their own. it clearly is a product of passion and it really shows on the big screen. Ill always treasure the work you all put in as creatives even when things dont turn out, and i think another indicator of that is the homages they pay to obsidians new vegas. Its clear to me fallout means more to you and them then just who is creating what and is more of love for the franchise as a whole cheers for the insight Tim.
Didn't invite anybody who worked on New Vegas though, lol
Thanks for sharing, and congratulations! It’s got to feel pretty amazing to see your creation from so long ago brought to life in a new medium and so incredibly well by others who love it. :)
Your game dev stories are why I keep coming back to your channel! They are super interesting.
That said, stoked to see you addressing the show!
You touched on it a few times on how dehumanizing gaming fans can be. I think it’s a really serious issue that doesn’t get addressed enough. Glad you had fun 🙏🏻
if i cant de-humanize them how will i turn them to jelly?
@@junebug2325a crit from a plasma rifle should help!
@@junebug2325 Mmm, jelly 🤤
Welcome to the internet
It's not specific to gaming fans; it's fans of anything. Take Star Wars for example with how fans treated the Jar Jar actor or child Anakin. Or how Star Trek fans treated the Wesley Crusher actor. Or sports fans. Every fandom has its share of assholes. It's an inevitability. By all means though, assholes should be called out and shamed for being assholes, but there needs to be an understanding that the assholes are a vocal minority and not representative of a fandom at large, and as a fandom grows larger and larger, a splinter fandom of bitter assholes are going to appear and grow alongside it without fail.
This is great - was thinking of you while watching and wondering what you thought. My favorite line: "Nobody noticed... but I knew it was there." Much love.
No we love ur development stories , I've learned so much about fallout bc of you! Please keep them going!
Love hearing you tell your stories like this. Can't wait to watch the show!
Was looking forward to this after seeing that picture of you, Brian, Emil and Todd !
I know this is a complete side note, but it just occurred to me to ask: Does anyone know if Leonard Boyarsky (as the architect of Fallout's aesthetic consistency) gets these kind of invites?
The visuals and props in the show were absolutely amazingly done. I binged it in 2 days. I'm going to rewatch bc I'm sure I was like you, where I missed some things bc I was just in awe and tears of happiness being a longtime fan of the franchise since I played the demo for the 1st game in April 1997. :)
These development insights are so golden, I can't believe that we have an indirect line to someone as legendary as yourself Tim, These are and will always be appreciated.
“You guys can be really destructive, which is odd that you do it to people who are trying to make things.”
Wise words.
If there is one downside to being invested in gaming, it’s that a lot of gamers have a very negative and aggressive approach to content and creators. It can lead to pointless conflict.
That's modern fandom in general really. For one, we have this entitled sense of ownership over things we like, and two, we have an access to famous people now that we never had before. So that sense of entitlement starts to become toxic in that we start throwing our opinions around like they should have weight (and throw tantrums when we realize they don't) and we also start to talk to complete strangers like we know them personally and have a right to weigh in on their personal business.
People really need to step back and get some perspective.
So we're not allowed to complain about products that we purchase now?
Wait... I know what you are!
Chinese Communist detected!
@@cleverman383give me the exact type of dumbass The Fallout mocks
you might be the nicest person that I've seen for a while..., thanks, for everything 🙂
Your story about people remembering things differently but neither being wrong is something I've learned over the years
Happy for you Tim! I hope they leave the door open for you to get a part in the TV shows future episodes 🙏 cause we need to see it
