Man, that Dick Tracy movie though, lol. I loved role playing as silver shroud. That plot was well done.
Something about this comment section tells me that something about the silver shrouds inspiration may have been missed. What on earth that inspiration might be eluuuuuuudes me
Hey fellow commenters, do you guys think that the Silver Shroud might be based on the Shadow it all? It seems very possible but I'm not seeing any other comments bringing it up.
Even the mighty RadKing falls victim to the cursed mispronounciation of "Laura" Croft.. 😅
As The Mechanist is encountered in Fallout 3 Canterbury Commons DLC, wouldn't that make him the first super hero we encounter in Fallout?
35:35 he was a sayter boy, he said see ya later boy..
The Silver Shroud really kinda reminds me of the Spirit.
literally one of my favorite creators. makes content on one of my favorite games and when i can’t sleep i put one of his vids on and i’m out like a light
Put the Silver Shroud armor on Piper. It looks real "daring reporter."
One of my favourite playthroughs of Fallout 4 I've ever done was my "Silver Shroud" playthrough using the FudgeMuppet build. I named the character "Robert West" after two Batman actors from the 40s and 60s, Robert Lowery and Adam West.
Captain Cosmos always reminded me of a re-skin of Space Ghost. Aesthetically speaking.
Jungle of the Batbabies might be a reference to this old newspaper gag where someone airbrushed a kid's photo to look like a batbaby
Ok, so we have to make Rad King watch The Shadow movie then.
The Fo3 Grognak cover is based off the Barbarian class picture from Oblivion. The board game reminds me of Hero Quest.
Loved the original Thief game.
its shed man~
hello RadKing
Take a shot every time you see a comment about "The Shadow"
the mistress of mystery reminds me alot of batman mythos stuff, especially stuff with the al Ghul family. Also the litteral batcave that she has is kinda on the nose there too.
You didnt mention it but KD Inkwell is very obviously inspired by Dr Who and Star Trek (M.I.N.D. seems similar to the borg) and other similar scifi
I love your videos #radking
Hey man i used to keep up with all your video watching them all. The past few months i been feeling more and more down im sorry i missed so many but they do really help me
Grognak and the terror dactyls cover looks like a cover of spiderman
Ngl i want a unstoppable comic series
Could you do a fallout 4 play through for us to watch pleasure in 3-4 hour long videos
Silver Shroud is actually based more on the Shadow.
Now Bethesda needs to remake manta man into a long hair chad to be like the real auqaman
Grognak is powered by milk
Lol, on fallout 76 I have 8 toons
The New Unstoppables. And their counter parts.
Why does Mantaman have his underpants around his ankles? Seriously, check out that first picture.
Thanks, King.
I love "The Commie-Kazis". Especially when you know that's based on real life…. errr, sortuh.
The US Military IRL tested to see if Dolphins could be used to deploy bombs and stuff. Really psychotic and interesting.
Great Video idea!
manta man is cooler than the actual Aquaman in my opinion
Until you mentioned it I didn't even think of Dick Tracey. My mind went immediately to Batman and another DC hero, the Grey Ghost.
You are joking. The Silver Shroud is The Shadow. I appreciate the Dick Tracey parallel, that's probably where he got the tommy gun, so points for that. But I was expecting you to say someone like The Question. But it's The Shadow who is responsible for a LOT of comic book characters. LIKE BATMAN FOR EXAMPLE, WHO'S FIRST BOOK LITERALLY HAS PAGES TRACED FROM THE SHADOW.
I can't wait for the Villans. Grelok and Zorbo are two of my favorite Villans. The radioplay Zorbo hits my mood when dealing with coworkers lol.
Bethesda is leaving a ton of money on the table not licensing these characters out for actual comics. I'd read them.
If Bethesda doesn’t want to make another fallout game, they can make a game based on these characters from the series
Ha, Manta Man is basically Aquaman
kb ink well sound like a name the doctor would use
One thing to note about Captain Cosmos. The ads for the pre war show states that it was aired on Thursdays at 8:00pm EST, which is most likely a nod to the original Star Treks time slot of Thursdays at 8:30pm EST.
Hope you enjoy this coment that didn't mention that one pulp era detective that wore a trench coat and fedora.
Brother in radiation when is the next fallout bible vid??
