This sound so much like the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue", (Wouldn't you want to hide your name if you were called Sue?), so do you think it should be added? - Mikeh12 10:12, Octo(UTC)

He says he has come the the Mojave Wasteland to look for him and is going to "punch him in the face" when he sees him. When you ask him what his story is, he tells you his Father ran away and left him and his Mother alone, leaving only the guitar. He was dressed in a black suit and black hat, and was carrying an acoustic guitar. I was walking through the wasteland when I found a guy named "The Mysterious Stranger" (Or something to that effect). It's not a cultural reference if a game talks about stuff from the immediately previous game in the same franchise.- Gothemasticator 22:55, Octo(UTC) Johnny Cash I don't know if references to other games in the series qualify for this page, so I haven't posted it yet, I was playing fonv yesterday and when I finally caught up to benney he said something about a giant robot hidden down in house's bunker, I think that he is referencing liberty prime from fallout 3. The naval equivalent is "Loose lips sink ships." - JustAnotherUser 08:20, Novem(UTC) There is a poster that says "Careless Talk Costs Lives" and a trait called "Built to Destroy," separately I'd think nothing of them but both together seem like references to the NWOBHM band SlanderĪctually, the first is probably inspired (or taken directly from) WWII propaganda posters reminding troops not to discuss orders and battle plans openly for fear of discovery by enemy spies.

The Knock-Knock is obviously a reference to the shining. One of the Headstones (head-planks-of-wood?) in the goodsprings cemetary reads benny lava. The Kings are of course a reference to Elvis and Elvis impersonators (a Las Vegas staple) - Shane for Wax 17:24, Octo(UTC)

There is an achievement for Fallout: New Vegas called "You've got to know when to hold em'" A reference to the song The Gambler by Kenny Rogers Other references to mafia movies can be found on the strip, obviously.Ĭolonel Moretti (mentioned on a magazine cover and a terminal) was the villain in the graphic novel Give Me Liberty by Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons. The humorous artist found on the strip that you can recruit for the Aces Theater has a number of jokes taken from "Goodfellas". Many elements in OWB are direct references to Doom. Sierra madre might be influenced by Kafka unfinished book The Castle. The "space ghouls" and the y17 traumatic harness wear the same suit as mars attacks ones.
