Preview Fallout humor lives!

I'm an English teacher and I don't even knwo what a 'git' is : Maybe some sort of eh -- what :

As cautiously optimistic I still am about Fallout 3, I see my optimism dwindling every week or so. It especially dwindled when Todd H. started to say 'violence is funny, the Itchy-Scratchy way'.
Yes, that may well be, but please Todd understand that violence in Fallit never were funny in itself, it was funny because of the often ironic and sarcastic situations the game forced you into dealing with during the game.

Not because the game had exploding heads

Can anyone point me to a scene in Fallout (not Fallout 2) where this 'humor' or any kind of humor beyond that present in the overall setting is displayed?

Apart from the Vault Boy and descriptions, I don't recall any. Fallout was a pretty serious game despite all the awesome kitsch.

And why not FO2? Because if we give examples of FO2 your agenda wouldn´t be fulfilled.

Because I think Fallout 2 sucks.

English teacher? Hmm. Like we say in Russia "A bootmaker without boots.". :twisted:

Changing the entire game system is just nitpicking. It's the jokes that matter.

The game does seem to turn out to be one big, immature joke. I wonder why Faran Brygo thought it'd turn out to be so serious?

A git is a small ork.

Yes. Yes it is. I never got "Ruglud's Armoured Orcs" from Games Workshop, but I created my own little band of orcs with GW's plastic orcs as rank and file, led by a few 'authentic' GW pewter orcs from various blisters. I named their leader "Dulgur the Git", because I had heard Blackadder call Baldrick a "git", so it couldn't be a good thing. And "Dulgur" is "Ruglud" backwards. I was so clever! :D (I still got those orcs in my bookcase)

git "worthless person, 1946, British slang, a southern variant of Scottish get "illegitimate child, brat," related to beget.

eh,

I don't lie. I teach English, or at least I have taught English. I'm a Danish teacher too.

Oh now you teach pastries, the lies just keep piling up

The humor in Fallout (I found) was how society develops on a wasteland; the ironies in finding laser weaponry and spears in the same general area. Stuff like iguana on a stick and gambling in a junkyard. It's not the punchline type shit.

It was funny but it was also dead serious.

I get the feeling they'll be using swear words fucking incessantly. The most brutal phrases in Fallout didn't have any. It was usually the responses you could give to the ghouls. You could say some really cruel stuff to those skinless freaks.
