crakkie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Crap, you're right. I thought it was just covered in the 60's. Edited April 22, 2009 by crakkie Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
TwinkieGorilla Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 since it's Vegas and it's 50's...Sinatra would be the best choice, but probably the most expensive. i'm trying to rack my brain at something else that would have an impact. hopw roewur ne?
Darth InSidious Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Technically, the Ink Spots were still going into the mid-60s... This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
Pop Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Pretty sure the publisher shells out for licenses. So cost is no object, really. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Maria Caliban Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Okay a 'serous' suggestion for the opening theme to Fallout: New Vegas. There's the obvious Viva, Las Vegas. Also with Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day also has a version that would work. I also think Billie Holiday's Don't Explain might be nice. It's harder to pick a stong for FO:NV because we have no idea what the main story is. 1964 is too late, it has to be from the 1950s or older. The 'rat pack' and what we think of vintage Las Vegas is all 1960's. Edit: Oh, I forgot God Bless the Child. Edited April 22, 2009 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

TwinkieGorilla Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Technically, the Ink Spots were still going into the mid-60s... nope, they were done before the 60's (at least the original group) and "Maybe" is pre-50's. Pretty sure the publisher shells out for licenses. So cost is no object, really. well, ****. Sinatra it should be then. The 'rat pack' and what we think of vintage Las Vegas is all 1960's. not necessarily. the "Rat Pack" was originally Bogart's posse and did in fact, start in the 50's as did the beginning of the Vegas swing.

Gorgon Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I remember an 80s looking b movie called Six Sting Samurai, where the hero had to travel across the wasteland to Vegas to guitar battle for the title of King of Vegas. Unfortunately it ended just as he reached Vegas, that would have required a bit more from the prop department than ramshackle huts. Did they ever make a sequel. Anyway he had a cool retro looking motorcycle and sidecar. Edited April 22, 2009 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
bitterbug Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Pardon the following caps FEATURE REQUEST: A decal system for marking explored areas, using either a piece of chalk or spray paint. You could mark an X or whatever symbol to see where you've been without constantly referring to the PipBoy while in the ruins. The mapping is adequate, but I'd like to be able to throw an X up on any room that I've already searched extensively, and the PB doesn't know if I've done that or just ran through it. Pumped for the game

Pumped for the game Hm. I misread the first sentence in your request and it became "a fecal system for marking explored areas". I posted to say that was a rad over-the-top idea, but nvm.

bitterbug Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I tried the fecal system as a child, and my parents weren't impressed. But I did manage to get all the wall in range of my crib.
Pidesco Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 since it's Vegas and it's 50's...Sinatra would be the best choice, but probably the most expensive. i'm trying to rack my brain at something else that would have an impact. What with mutations and such running rampant, I thought the choice would be obvious. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Aristes Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I dunno. If we're breaking out Frankie, why not Dean Martin: My life is going to be BEEEEYOOOTIFUL!
TwinkieGorilla Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 What with mutations and such running rampant, I thought the choice would be obvious. lulz. just change "you" to "goo" and it's a winner. hopw roewur ne?

Pidesco Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 That and an intro of gray skies, mutant birds and destroyed suburbia could be quite awesome. And on the subject of mutations and deformities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVm9q5ZRG1s "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Jaesun Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) What with the nuclear fallout, how about ? That could make a great trailer with that song, show a ruined New Vegas. I like it. And the irony fit's well. It's almost too.... happy... though? I can't think of the right word. All the things you are is pretty cool. Dunno the date of it though: And I agree, They HAVE to do something Sinatra or something with this game.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 My suggestion is to take pointers from Fallout 3 mods. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Aristes Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) nonsense, Jaesun! The begining song is supposed to be cheerful. The future before the war was bright and happy. It's the present that sucks. "Blue Skies" is perfect. I'm jealous I didn't think of it myself! "Under my skin" is too much on the nose. The only problem is that some of these Frankie songs are mid 60s rather than 50s/early 60s. Edited April 22, 2009 by Aristes

Really? Wiki gave 1964 for their breakup. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
Pop Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I agree with Lucian, swing music would be a good idea. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Aristes Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I would think that there should be a variety of music for the actual game, but a strong showing for swing music is a pretty good idea.

TwinkieGorilla Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Really? Wiki gave 1964 for their breakup. there were a few incarnations. the original group (the one which recorded the songs we know them for) did not make it beyond the 50's. bit o' reference: Ink Spots hopw roewur ne?
