Funny Coincidences

Post » Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:05 pm

I m putting this in the spoilers section for obvious reason.

On my way to Primm the first time, I was listening to Mr. New Vegas and he did the news about how the town of Prim was having problems and so on and so forth. Then, he said "This news is brought to you by Prim, the other New Vegas." Not only was it a coincidence that he was talking about Primm on my way there, but it was funny that he said they were the sponsors. "This message brought to you by Primm, 'HELP!!!'"

On my way to kill Benny in his suite, I could hear coming from the radio in his room, Mr. New Vegas said, "This next song is 'love me like there is no tomorrow,' because in New Vegas, hey, you never know." After talking to and killing Benny, I start to loot his room and right before I end up finding Yes Man, Mr. New Vegas comes back on after the song as says "A courier found shot in the head in Goodsprings has regained consciousness [etc.]" Funny, Benny got the message a few minutes too late.

Too me, those stories were too good to keep to myself. What about you?

Hmm... beginning of the game, that guy who tells you about the star caps (think his name is Malcom or something) catches me outside of Jean's Sky Diving and gives me his little speech. The thought had entered my head to shoot him in the back because I just knew he had star caps, but I grudgingly let him run off towards Primm. A couple minutes later I'm on my way towards Primm and I found his corpse at the Powder Ganger camp, he'd run over one of the powder charges. :shifty:

Recently funny, not so much a coincidence, well maybe... I headshot the Alpha Male Deathclaw at Quarry Junction, one shot one kill style, from this ridge like 50 miles way (gross exaggeration)... was a pretty impressive shot by my standards, anyway, Veronica is kneeling beside me and I'm waiting for her to say "Am I gonna have to take that away from you?" like she always does but instead she just says "Meh.". I laughed and almost wanted to throw my sniper rifle at her and say "Mama Deathclaw is right over there too, you do better!", lol. :lmao:

Yeah, the companions tend to make me feel really bad about myself. One shot one kill with a silenced 22, and Boone still insists he should aim it for you. :cryvaultboy:

Kind of a coincidence.. not really. *warning, contains spoilers about Brotherhood/NCR/Mr. House questline*



*Yep, still spoilers*

*You sure? Well, okay*

I ended up having to kill the Brotherhood of Steel, because in my genius I had helped the Head Paladin become Elder. This, of course, means later on, you cannot convince them to help you at Hoover Dam, and you must wipe them out. I take Veronica with me to the Hidden Valley bunker, hoping that with her with me I might be able to convince them to help me or something, but unfortunately I cannot, and I end up having to kill them all. AS I am killing them, I keep expecting Veronica to come up to me and say something like ''I will never forgive you for this!'', but instead she says nothing. A few times during the fight I go up to her and initiate conversation with her, and all she says is ''What's up?''. I was completely floored by this. I mean, here we BOTH are, killing her friends, teachers, ect, and she seems just fine with it.



On a funnier note, I was also at one point at the Quarry with Boone, and I killed the Matriarch (not with one shot :S), and Boone kept saying ''Maybe I should aim for you.''

When I decided to go to Hidden Valley from Black Mountain and guess what I found en route there. ;-)
