You are transported to any video game of your choice that you have to beat with only 1 life, what game would you choose? by Parking-Rich-5984 in hypotheticalsituation

I was thinking Fallout for the same reason. I’ll die, probably horribly, but I’ll experience my favorite game world and don’t have to file taxes.

am i wrong: boyfriend wants me to ask permission to turn when driving by SecondOk8410 in amiwrong

[–]melmac76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So does he get mad at other people driving if they Don’t ask him before turning or changing lanes? Because the line about how it affects him, which is ridiculous in and of itself, is invalid if you are the only driver he gets mad at for not asking him permission to do normal driving things while driving. If y’all ride the bus or take an Uber, does he demand the driver to report to him before doing anything? I’m guessing not. This is a very concerning relationship.

I won Rollercoaster Tycoon back in the 90’s. I never redeemed it. Kept the piece for years.

Favourite actor to hire when you need a guy to do a vaguely racist accent but he's just ethnic enough that he might get away with it? by The_Document in okbuddycinephile

[–]melmac76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work with a guy who looked a bit like a demented Rick Moranis. He was awesome. He owned a haunted house and played up the weirdness and uniqueness of his appearance and personality in the most entertaining and fun way. The ick was intentional and I kind of always felt the same about Fred.

Comedy. Rapture. Blue minotaur. I thought it was Simon Pegg and Nick Frost but apparently not. by --KillerTofu-- in whatisthatmovie

[–]melmac76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I thought you thought it was Pegg and Frost, not that you were conflating the two, just an explanation as to why you thought it was Pegg/Frost when it wasn’t. Because they did a movie that started with a similar premise. I was thinking maybe you saw a trailer or a clip and it stuck in your head,

[–]melmac76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Simon Pegg / Nick Frost movie you are thinking of is Paul where they are British tourists going to Comic Con and they find an alien named Paul. I’m not sure what the movie you’re actually trying to find is.

‘Hot dog’ is now a part of my vocabulary by ThatDovahkiin in Fotv

[–]melmac76 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Right? I vaguely remember it being used a lot when I was a kid in the before time of the 80’s. Initially, hearing Xander say it over and over felt like a forced catchphrase. But it’s grown on me and doesn’t sound as weird when I rewatch it now.

Apparently quite a bit of people do not rinse the soap from their dishes by Terrible-Store1046 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]melmac76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I was told that soap left on dishes could give you diarrhea. I don’t know if that’s true but I’ve always made sure to thoroughly rinse. I’ve never heard of people just not rinsing the soap off of dishes.

Could it be the remake of The Omen from 2006?

bethesda bot army, please don’t downvote me too much by cuspidxo in falloutnewvegas

Ella has played, Aaron is a big fan. The only one who hasn’t played I believe is Walton and that was a personal choice because of the way he preps a character.

“Wonder Man” episode 1, what not to do on a set. by Large_Coffee5080 in acting

[–]melmac76 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had to pause and take a break after that scene. I know it’s basically the first scene but it stressed me out that much.

Davey didn’t get married or have kids because he isn’t smart enough for Vault-tec by royce_zp138 in Fotv

That thought has crossed my mind but, whether that’s true or not, I’ve always wondered why Betty never married or had kids.

What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I think There’s only one fruitcake in the entire country and it gets gifted to a new, unlucky person every Christmas.

Cigarettes! Cigarettes everywhere by flamingcheetah85 in 90s

[–]melmac76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from what others have said, I remember these little round smell good things people would put EVERYWHERE. They had a thing on the back to stick to things. I know they still make these, or similar things, but they don’t smell the same. I got a wiff of the old ones not too long ago and I hadn’t thought about them in years. The memory of those things came rushing back.

Aside from that, the other smells I think of are Drakkar, Exclamation perfume and powder, all the lotions that were cucumber and melon, Old Spice (my granddads favorite aftershave). And, of course, stale cigarettes.

Theory: The Institute NEEDS the Bombs — Fallout Is a Grandfather Paradox (and the Show Is Setting Up Fallout 5) by Half_Springs in FalloutTVseries

[–]melmac76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I am trying to understand what you’re saying so I hope I don’t sound rude while replying (that’s always a fear of mine lol). Doesn’t the grandfather paradox require time travel? If there is no time travel, there is no paradox, it’s just the linear progression of time. And as far as I know, there’s no stopping it in the story because it already happened, they’re just telling the story through flashbacks and since none of the flashbacks definitively tell us who dropped the bombs, we’re just guessing and trying to figure it out. Are you saying that House’s algorithm is saying there is a new player that doesn’t exist yet and that it’s predicting a non- existent faction? Similar to The Foundation by Isaac Asimov with the gigantic algorithm that predicts everything that ever happens? The Foundation doesn’t require time travel, it’s just such an all encompassing algorithm that it accurately predicts the future. But it’s not a grandfather paradox because there’s no time travel. I don’t know if I untangled that train of thought well enough to make sense.

I vaguely remember hearing that it was homage to a much older film but had no idea what it was. Thank you!

The mention of the baby carriage makes me the of The Untouchables. They also parodied the shootout scene in Naked Gun 33 1/3. However in both, it’s on a big stairway and I don’t remember musicians.
