Austin: "... between the United States and China."
Trump: "CHYNAH!"
That frickin killed me.
CHINA
Lee White Chinaaaaa
JJJIIIIIINNNUUUHHHH
"CHYNAH!!"
Me too
"That is not a Greek f***ing myth!" I died 😂
by a nuclear bomb?
The timing of the music and his rant is perfectly timed. 👍
i find it funny that where sanctuary hills is in the game, is actually in the middle of minuteman park in real life. the wooden bridge still exists. obviously there is no town in the middle of the park. but the road layout is accurate. maybe you could do a video on fallout locations VS real life locations.
Like Nellis in NV compared to real life mcarran andale the pitt dc Appalachia
Time to make a swear jar for Austin
Lol
1 10 minute episode later...
" Well fuck now Im all out of money! Goddamn!"
+It's The Only Hazzer And Lebowski answers: "What the fuck are you talking about?"
+Morgan Carey fuck fuck fuck fuck FUUUUUCK
It's called patreon
Austin: nuclear winter.

⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Reading your comment almost makes me wish for a nuclear holocaust.
Moral of the story, the Southern Hemisphere wins, here comes the Emu Empire
Even though australia lost the emu war. (Real thing xD)
You can't have been paying total attention...
not if the penguin empire comes first!
The empire of Samba is watching closely
Well to be fare Australia already has a lot of the dangers of the wasteland
Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a 8:12
Zetsubou Z. lol I see what you did there
god... damnit...
Ahhhh...69 nice
I see you are also a man of culture
You really wouldn’t want a nuclear winter. And the fact that I know this was not serious makes me un wooooshable
the Viagra ad was great! I took a Viagra once but it got stuck in my throat....I had a stiff neck for a week!
+Proudsoul1 WHAT?!?!
thats not my bag baby
Lol
oh Jesus.
I had milk in my mouth
Would you be able to do a video on glassing in the halo universe, please?
This!!!
FUCKING DO IT AUSTIN
+Dewi Bevan Could only like once, so I'm commenting as well to show my want.
+Dewi Bevan i vote for this too
I thought about asking the same thing.
I would love Bethesda if they Set their next Fallout to be set in either China or Canada.
edit: this was 4 years ago? that’s crazy
CHINA!!
CHINA
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Liam Barnes hell yes. And like the dam in F: NV the bridge is the main fight. The opera house is the HQ for the BoS
no there are no vaults in china and probably not in Canada there for no vaults fewer to even no more pipboys and without vaults or pipboys there would be no vault boy
hey austin you forgot that usa also anexed mexico and it also has been hit by nukes
It wasn't a complete annexation they invaded Mexico to make sure the oil made it to the US.
It wasn't anexed, just occupied. I believe they also nuked Mexico City.
Artma yeah in fallout new Vegas Raul says Mexico City did get nuked, as well as other northern Mexican regions... man, I need to rethink what I do with my time
Annexed
CHINA
!!!!!!!!!!!
CHINA?
CHINA!!!*
Chinaaaa, happy CHINA!!!!
China!?!!
vault tec launched the nukes.
That woulf be hilariously depressing
* put on tin foil hat *
lol it's in the lore dude read up
if that is true... it means vault techs still alive....
Well, Vault-Tec were still alive... And then FO2 happened.
whenever I see a shoddy cast video that begins with the main screen of google docs, I already start smiling.
"sorry I need a minute"
Need to get this video over 10 minutes...
You can get ads on shorter videos, they just aren’t as monetized
Man, wouldn't it be cool if Bethesda released a Fallout game based in a country OTHER than America? We'd be able to see the impact of the war on other places and fight completely new enemies.
No
Yeah! I think that'd be really cool.
the problem is vault-Tec is an American compony, so it wouldn't make sense to come out of a vault in, say, scottland yard, but I do think that if the game francise was sound forward a couple hundred years, it would be a story of fighting off foreign invasion. it would make sense for other, more untouched countries to try to take over and recognize america, and I can see that sort of gameplay. However, there is one possibilty. if a fallout game took place in alaska, we could see travle to china, and experience a still wageing war. just a thought.
Well who knows what they might come out with 15 years from now when it comes out.
+Hunter Rhude why not?
People in South America are living in paradise while I'm trying to put rusty buckets on my companion's head.
+wen u see fresh meme You realize Mexico is North America, right?
+wen u see fresh meme Viva México amigo
Well, depending on the wind it could've taken the radioactive dust that far, but comparatively, yeah
Donald Trump got his dream.
Lol. Without the US, China, and Russia, the rest of the world would die pretty quickly. Parasites don't live long without a host to feed off of...
The math here with 25 years after the drop it would be... "mostly okay" works with fallout 76, spooky
I like it when you start screaming "FUCK FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUUUUCK". I think it's funny
LemmeSmash420 d I'm actually 24
To be fair, "LemmeSmash420 d" paints you even younger than 12
Austin the u.s also annexed Mexico for petroleum in the 2050s
Fair point, but if there were nukes left over in the estimate as he said, chuck 'em at Mexico instead of say, Europe or the Middle East. That ought to square that away.
It was occupied by the U.S. Army, but it was never formally annexed.
China also had annexed some countries too, the "Southern Asian coutries" it says on the wiki. I'm not sure how much that is exactly though.
+Sebidee TW probably korea and Vietnam also Mongolia probably was conquered not sure who had the Philippines or Japan
Remember Raul from Fallout: New Vegas? He said that Mexico was also obliterated by nuclear bombs.
So I'm SAFE! here in Australia? FUCK!!! Yeah!
I don't think Australia is ever safe mate. Everything there wants to kill you.
+Sebidee TW tru
Australia would likely have been allied to the United States in the Great War so unless you are living in rural Australia, you would likely get nuked as well :/
+doyouseestroberries but you see, the thing is, not a single nuke it us in Aus. heck, most modern nukes can't even REACH Aus because we're so far away in the middle of the ocean.
tactical submarines, mate
6:35 to 7:18 I have the exact same reaction bro. I'm just glad I'm in thus timeline because out of all the numerous times we have come close to wiping ourselves out we just never seemed to run it all the way to homeplate. I hope it stays that way too.
Honestly I watched a documentary today about the nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll and was reminded of this video and how much I agreed with that goddamn rant. I was a year old in 1985! What a terrible fucking idea!
I know this is pretty old but I'd like to mention that some nuclear missiles can contain multiple warheads and scatter them across whole stretches with a single launch. Lower yield devices also leave a lot of the radioactive materials that make up the core intact and the blast would spread that material as even more fallout.
I kinda want to see fallout games based in China or Europe. Or Chicago/mid West. That would be kinda neat.
+eddie mirsberger it would be interesting because I've found Fallout to be satire of 50's america, so that in another country could be fun
+DrManiac
Not really, It would be really boring since most of the technology wonders won't be there at all and there wouldn't be that many mutated monsters..
+eddie mirsberger Fallout Tactics takes place in Chicago.
no vault tec
+eddie mirsberger i would like to see one in orlando. because post apoctolipic mickey is best Mickey.
Next week will be about the vaults. Do you have your own questions about VaultTec's vaults? Let us know here.

What is happened to EUROP !!!
why do they do secret tests instead of actually helping the people
How did vault-tec get all their money to build the vaults. I heard that one vault costed 400 billion! How is that?
why was everyone ready when the sole surviver ran to the vault

Presh Lord ME TO HELP!
I love it when you swear, its hilarious, and practical. When one realizes we could have been UBER fawked.
With the amount of research you've done on nuclear bombs, I'm sure you're on a governmental watchlist somewhere XD
I thought about a fallout game that takes place just as the bombs are hitting. Seeing others turn into ghouls and see new destroyed buildings, and how other creatures and people deal and evolve into the new world.
Do you have anymore settlements that need my help?
You know, 2000 years in the future, scholars will look back and ask, "Why did the people of the day write this myth of Nuclear weapons?"
That is right, they will not believe that man was this crazy.
And that kid, was Steve Jobs talking about us
Lol. Your cute to think humanity will last that long
@@johnathanera5863 we have a track record of being kinda hard to kill. To say it's sure that we are dead in 2k years is kinda just edgy
@@Mirro18 All it takes is one really big rock.
It would be interesting to see what vault building companies existed in other countries.
since you are big on post apocalyptic game worlds can you give some love to the Metro series? there's a shit ton material to explore for your kinds of video man. so think about it, it would be cool.
agreed the metro games r so underated, deserves more attention.
ya
True, a part of the games and books I found fascinating was that M.A.D didn't truly happen because of several Russian submarine commanders returning fire and thus being possible that certain areas that were designated for these missiles might have at least survived the blasts
+The Gh0st yea dude you have to play all the installments to get the story or you could read the book, they had it in english for a few years now
Tbh metro might as well be the reverse of fallout
422,000 NUKES BLAZE THE WORLD!!
no. doesn't work. he said 422k, not 420k.
+punch3870 RIP us 😰
These videos are almost like therapy to me. Putting extremely terrifying situations in a different light by explaining the science behind them. I dunno why understanding something scares me yet comforts me. I guess it's just better than thinking we could all die at any moment. Which we could anyways, not just from nukes. We could slip on a banana peel and crack our head open, I guess. It's happened.
Your videos are friggin awesome man keep doing what your doing
Never stop swearing, Austin. Please. I beg of you. You beautiful human bean.
+Felkhan Whiteball I don't know about you man but i find swearing to be not dirty and rude but more of that it makes you seem rather uncouth and lacking any ability to string a proper sentence together, this isn't always the case but i find people that swear a lot to be not stupid or illiterate just uneducated in proper sentence structure, this is me though i'm not a fan of swearing unless there is a reason to, i do swear a lot but i don't unless there is a good reason to do said action.
still waiting for the ability to glass planets lol
Lol
talk to the covenant (from halo)
+Zeleros71324 The inquisition wants a word.
CrazyGunMan100 no idea what that is
Zeleros71324 warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Exterminatus
You may not believe me, but your videos both on this channel and on Game Theorists is basically just a lullaby to me; the sweet combination of science applied to and through a medium I love makes me enjoy learning. It's also soothing, for some reason, and I like that. Thank you.
@MinxlenGaming I mean yeah, but short-term memory plus intense nostalgia basically restricts me to older vids. That is a good point, tho.
suggestion : play Mothership zeta DLC from fallout 3. There's a scene when you get to fire the orbital weapon. you get to see some portions of earth and how it looks post war. Does your theory of pocket heavens still apply ?
I really like this channel and I am really impressed with all the work that you put into all the shows. As an American living in Japan currently, I was very happy to hear your reaction to the fact that we could have nuked ourselves to heck and back. I know you'll probably never see this message, but thank you for making this message of peace in an analytical dissection of a video game.
Stay groovy sir.
"Mutually-assured destruction, for those of you who didn't learn it in school or simply erased it from your memory"
Me: Or haven't watched War Games.
In Europe we call it the Balance of Fear
i just love the way you talk and explain everything, also great music👍👍
Love your work man. 85 was a hell of a year to be born haha
As a point of order, another major deviation between the Cold War of the real world and the Resource War of the Fallout universe was the latter was an actually, long running active warfare that covered large parts of the world. Supposedly even before the bombs fell Europe was a huge mess. And since the fighting was over natural resources, especially oil and the components to create high tech doodads, and the various governments seemed to have little regards to human life of their own people and even less for foreign nationals it's reasonable to assume that the Middle East and Africa devastated by conventional warfare long before the bombs were dropped.
Basically, it's not accurate thinking of the war leading up to the bombs dropping like the Cold War. It's more like if World War II had ended with a massive exchange of nuclear arsenals that had been built up over decades.
Headphones recommend
Definetly
ty fam
Would that be fucking headphones recommended, or headphones fucking recommended? Fuck.
The way he puts humans development of nuclear weapons in perspective at 7:03 is so good. Haha
Honestly I think that rant and the lead up from where that classic piece starts should be sent to Putin and the leaders of every nuclear weapon capable nation.
WHY DID HE COMPLETLY FORGET ABOUT AUSTRALIA (not compliang but why?)
Dont complain mate, i prefer my home to not be bombarded with nukes
Yeah true....
Because you already have shit that's as bad as radscorpions to begin with. You probably wouldn't even notice the difference and even the nukes would be like "Hell no, I'm not touching that!".
An Aussie would start up Fallout 4 and ask himself "Are these the suburbs of Melbourne?" :D
I think is partly destroied like the middle east and north africa. Resource war end up destroying nations.

+ShoddyCast and Austin I know what you should hit up next how about The Division and how Ubisoft and Massive are not fixing things. Just maybe? Just a thought?
+Kévin Joly #Awefest
Nice logo bro
+ShoddyCast sooo, you just realized that Fallout is based on reality? hehe, yeah so it was pretty fu*ked up before, now...
6:34 through the next minute or so really aligns with my own feelings on the matter there.
YES!! I'm not the only one who remembers! "He's only *_mostly_* dead."
"Fucking fuck fuck, fuck!"
-Austin Hourigan 2k16
I want a Fallout game based off of post-war China.
Agreed
Or Europe? Like a future Nazi Germany? xD
That'd be cool, but not really "Fallout" because a large part of fallout is the retro-futuristic American feel.
Lordtranq Son Okay then. Dear Bethesda, please make a new game called Farrout, where we see a lot of Mao propaganda and fight desucrrows and gurrus in an attempt to stop the Forbidden City's inhabitants from installing filthy imperialism.
Or aristocrats, who treat their kids like Wilhem Busch. Or some storys from Grimms Fairytales.
Ah, sweet childhood memories :)
Furthermore, french revolutioneers. More facists in Spain and Italy along with Romans as long as thieves.,burglers and rainding bands from eastern Europe and I'd feel home there.
I subscribed to you cause of this video its my first time watching keep up the good work :)
Love these SCIENCE! videos, could you do one on the feasibility of Fallout 76, and living plants 25 years after the bombs fall?
Forgot Mexico. The US Annexed Mexico before the Resource Wars as well.
*most of Mexico
From the northern border to Mexico City. That's pretty much all of Mexico.
I have, interestingly, seen a few discussions regarding how the popular understanding of MAD is... not entirely accurate. A _lot_ of the fear of Global Annihilation was really just fear-mongering on the part of the military-industrial complex.
Basically, MAD was never about targeting random cities and wiping out civilian populations. It was specifically about hitting the other side's missiles and military targets. Not even... infrastructure in general.
Why?
Because A.) We never had anywhere close to the nuclear arsenal required to "wipe out all life" and B.) because after you've spent all your nukes... you're defenceless. Conventional military action is still possible. In fact, you don't even fire all your nukes. Whatever survives the first wave then becomes your bargaining chips to try to force negotiations and to defend yourself against invasion if they fail. Because nuclear exchange was never actually about Wiping Their Civilization Off The Map, everybody who lives (and it will be a lot of people, with guns and tanks and bombs included) will be able to look at the aftermath and, say, go "holy shit you targeted civilians like a monster, now that your deterrent is gone we're going to rightfully fuck you up".
I cling to the logic that nuclear war can’t happen because it’s impossible to wipe out the enemy total nuclear weapons stockpile because most of them are kept aboard stealth subs. Launching nukes absolutely will fuck up both sides. It a terrible fucking idea.
I like your enthusiasm and pessimism. LoL p.s. you sound like the guy from the Podcasts Minute Physics.
You, sir, have a new subscriber.
This guy is so terrifying yet freaking funny
you forget that in the glowing sea episode everything almost everything is powered using nuclear power from the family car to the toaster that when the bombs drops most f the stuff using that fuel source blew up to spreading more radiation
His last video, probably where you even got that idea
You should explain why cliff racers are from hell
7:00 Honestly, it’s therapeutic to hear Austin swear.
I’m watching this because I was so nostalgic for the time when he could swear. It adds so much to the video
Like he mentioned at the beginning, the nukes in the Fallout world are much smaller than the ones we currently have. and there were millions killed in the Great War within minutes.
You are now definitely on the NSA Watch list
austin, buddy,baby, hon, even in the fallout universe hydrogen bombs exist so even if the the avg bombs are 200-700 kilotons you still have to take those in account
In your previous video you mentioned how nuclear reactors are in nearly everything such as cars and radios, would this have an effect on the destruction caused by the nuclear bombs ??
How have I NOT found this channel before now?!?!? Everything is making so much more sense! This channel is AMAZING!!
According to the pre-established lore, as i understand it, the U.S. military actually had china under siege after the battle of anchorage, and were using their new and unique invention of powered armor to decimate the chinese army within their own borders (mr. trump would be proud). This included several military campaigns, including the Gobi campaign (hence the name of the sniper rifle variant found in fallout NV) and I can only assume that this led to china retaliating, with the U.S. following suit, decimating not only what was left of china, but also the U.S. populations that were probably gathering around the major cities at that point.
Joshua Darrow Exactly!
i fucking love this show
If you're curious, the Fallout timeline deviates from our own in 1961, 2 years after the Tsar Bomba was tested
That moment when you realize the world legitimately could have ended.. And the powers at the time were really bout destroying eachother... Damn.
So Australia is the promise land in the Fallout Universe.
of course it is, Mad Max lived there
+NoFacetheVoid Australia is resource rich... So Id bet its actually been plundered and/or had its pop centers nuked as well
Also that screenshot is from the game DEFCON
"how many nukes does it take to make our game?" Trick question, its none!
Although I am multiple years late, I consistently see Princess Bride references and I'm incredibly proud
Is it only me or anyone who want next fallout in:
•europe
•canada
•china
who's with me ?
Me
what did happen to china tho?
@@screwit6242 the east got ass blasted and left the west mostly intact due to an intense consentration of population in the east.
The whole franchise is built off of Americanism though
Europe is a really diverse continent...
also you turned a diameter of 25 miles into 25 square miles without any kind of conversion. a circle with a diameter of 25 miles has an area of approximately 176.71 miles. this makes your answer off by at least an order of magnitude on its own and its even worse if that 25 miles was a radius.
...CHINA
I love it when you curse, its so much fun!
I found Austin out from game theory and I really like these science packed episodes
I may be late to the show on this, but I couldn't stop laughing at this when he started his "Fuck" tirade!
I think you forgot about the US having a heavy presence(they like annexed them) in Canada and Mexico at the time of The Great War and the nukes required to take those countries out
This was really interesting and I understood all of it
And this is why my idea of Australia being a paradise world super power by not being nuked in the slightest is so good and you've just assured me more! :D Finally! Australia always being forgotten about works in our favour.
(P.s yeah dont like swearing. my little 10 year old brother would LOVE this stuff.)
Also in the fallout universe they were way more intelligent in nuclear science and had multiple different nukes and more powerful, more radioactive, etc.
Chaminar Killz I’m late but to clarify, fallouts universe details that most nuclear weapons they built were tactical
I would really like to see a fallout game set in Europe, like New Berlin or Paris or London.
love the princess bride reference
@ShoddyCast minecraft's end reminds me of a theory in cosmology for how the universe will end called "the big freeze" but also enderman teleportation blows my mind.
busy shooting giant zombie ants in the minecraft mod "erebus" please discuss endermen and the end. >.< unless its somehow artificially maintained the End makes no god damn sense.
In conclusion: Nukes are bad, mmkay?
the week after can u talk about mutated creatures like deathclaws and super mutants
I would just like to say I love it when you swear! :D
I just got over the power of the star bombs. Cheers.
it makes me wonder do you think the rest of the world will send scientists to search the ruins of the war and involve themselves with survivors?
The hole earth is screwed to .
Presh Lord My bad I think I was half a sleep while typing this .
If I recall correctly, Europe and the middle east had their own exchange long before the great war.
It was non nuclear.
Mostly non-nuclear. They kinda ran out of nukes at the very beginning because the countries in Europe and the Middle East already nuked themselves and each other before they went to war.
I know, I know, this is SO old now, it's covered in cobwebs and moss but I'm slow on the uptake and usually just watch Mat Pat, but Austin you're just as awesome, smart and hilarious,So keep doing what you're doing you're ,we need this stuff, food for the brain.😆😆🤓💗
thanks shoddy cast
YOU FORGOT ABOUT MEXICO THEY GOT ANNEXED TOO
F**k F**k F**k WHO THE F**k SAYED MEXICO GOD DANM IT, F**K!!!!!😬😬😬😬😬
+Shawn Mallon the USA put sanctions on Mexico which destabilised it and then the ran troops through the border and annexed it without conflict
+Sindrigosa GOD DANM IT!!!!😬😬😬😬
MEXICO...GOD DANM IT!!!!
According to Raul, at least Mexico City was hit, but no where near as badly as Bakersfield or D.C. and the rural areas were relatively unaffected by blasts or radiation.
I don't know how this gets monetized
I love this channel because 3 reasons
1) I love science
2) I’m from Illinois (but live in North Dakota)
3) from watching this I can say I’m smarter than my classmates
I love it when he swears. Just saying
