Steam says I have 150 hours in the Fallout universe. I've watched the show. I don't get it. I don't understand why it is so popular. I tried really hard to like it and it is just not for me, the music included. Iconic music I had no idea that was the theme until it was pointed out in this video. I saw the title of this video and tried to remember music from the game and couldn't. Is it really that iconic I can't remember ever hearing it anywhere else. College bands aren't playing it at football games like the Game of Thrones theme. I've not seen any bands covering it like the Last Of Us music. That's my definition of iconic, though. So, I guess it is just me. I just don't click with this entire universe.

Regarding Nintendo’s recent actions on emulation, this is the only solution:
All types of intellectual property (IP) laws must be fully abolished immediately, in any and all jurisdictions worldwide. All IP laws are extremely unethical for humankind.
Against Intellectual Monopoly is the most informative book humanity has on the subject now. Against Intellectual Property is _another_ incredible essay, but it’s written with right-libertarian rhetoric so if you’re, like me, not right-libertarian you’ll have to read with an open mind and extract the essential info. _Only_ these two texts are the gold standard when it comes to intellectual property.

That bit about the implementation of of the theme in the tv show was so true oh my god. It reminds me of how all these new star wars tv shows try to go for this thing in their music where it has it's own flavor and style that occasionally hints at the Williams score, and that's fine, but man, if just once in The Acolyte, for a big moment, they hit that Force Theme full on. it would have hit, is what I'm saying, it would have swept me up in the emotion and made the story and it's characters feel like a part of this grander legacy. the Acolyte missed it's potential in a lot of ways I guess

Really don't think it's a great look for y'all to be deleting my comments pointing out that Inon Zur is a zionist who has called for the elimination of Muslims, but go off I guess. Like, this isn't speculation. The man was part of the IDF and has consistently supported Zionism.
He's quoted as posting We don't need thoughts. We do not need prayers. We will bury our dead, we will bite our lips, lick our deep wounds and go to war. With no mercy. With no compromise. Until all who brought this on us will be gone from this world.

Yeah, I really remember how much this moment in the tv show affected me. I didn’t even realize I had been missing the theme, so, while I had really been enjoying the way the show had portrayed the world and feel of the games, there was this sudden conviction when it hit that yes, this is Fallout. Amazing work and a banger video as always

While I do appreciate listening to the composer talk about a bit of the behind the scnes process in regards to Fallout 3, 4 and 76, and understand the main focus is the motif of the Bethesda games,
it does suck that the motif of New Vegas music gets a single sentence mention that's not expanded upon.

Those three notes, my gosh. Had a reaction as viceral as how I used to feel about Battlefield's _dun-duh dun dah-DUN-DUN! _ But EA's done far more damage to that brand's audioscape over the years than Bethesda has to Fallout's (if we discount Country Roads, my gosh. Is that universal, or just a PAXAus thing.

Too bad DMCA means you can't really give people a taste of this music without risking getting demonetized. Good luck with this video. Just because a lot of the tracks are old enough to be in the public domain doesn't mean there isn't a DMCA troll out there flagging videos with their audio in them.

Extremely surprised to see EverQuest in Zur's credits because I was pretty sure Jay Barbeau made all the music for EQ. Then I remembered that game has had a billion expansions since I stopped playing 20 years ago. For those wondering, he worked on Underfoot (2009) through The Broken Mirror (2015. Neat!

Great interview. Restraint is not something Bethesda has been good at with Fallout - gotta out the deathclaw and power armor right up front in FO4 right That difference is a big part of what made the show great, and the use of the original score was just perfect.

Man, you'd think that dressing for the occasion wouldn't be that crazy when every occasion is a video essay, but god damn doe Simone hit us with something great every video. I'm like 2 minutes into the video and it's already a 10/10

When the first advert for Fallout 3 came out. that tune, the Brotherhood Knight in the ruins of DC. WOW! :)
But. the iconic themes from Fallout 2 should not be overlooked either: Metallic Monks, Vats of Goo etc are truly amazing

Being able to hear the theme, especially in major moments of discovery or triumph, with fallout 4, really added to the emotions of scenes and places. I’m so happy we have Ion to guide the fallout stories through music

This interview portrays Todd Howardd as passionate, artistic, and dedicated to quality. It's hard to reconcile that idea of him with Starfield, which felt so phoned in and soulless

14: 34 They then have that theme play once again at the start of episode 7. We hear a melancholy version of the theme play as the NCR Ranger and his son scour the desert for lead.

I've never played fallout. Just watched the Fallout Monster Factory videos, but I still felt the resonance of the theme in that moment. Great part of the show.

Even though I am not a big fan of the most recent Fallout game entries, I always appreciated the music in all of them.
Cheers for this video.
Well done.

Doesn't matter the topic, I will watch any video with Simone Laughs In French de Rochefort. Or Pat, but his laughs don't make me smile quite as much.

I must have close to a thousand hours in fallout 3 and new vegas. I could not pick the main theme from a roster of other mid 2010's videogame music.
