Rock, Paper, Shotgun: The Pub Lunch Exegesis » Boogie Wasteland

Boogie Wasteland

Written by Alec Meer on November 27, 2008 at 11:11 am.

My affection for Fallout 3 just increased tenfold:

Boogie!

If you are super-sensitive to such things, there’s a possibility this includes a couple of really minor location spoilers. I honestly don’t think there’s anything in this that’ll truly impact your F3 experience (bar wishing its NPCs really were this funktastic), but Angry Spoiler Men should consider themselves warned.

Thanks to Homunculus for pointing this out.

Gravatar dufake says:

The animation is ported from Obvilion.

Modding rocks.

I can’t believe those developers who are saying no modding tools.

Gravatar Aftershock says:

Man. I want to play through all my games with the NPC’s dancing around like this.

Trying to be intimidated by a moonwalking Breen. The possibilitys are endless.

You should write an article about the essential Fallout 3 mods at some point, after they’ve started to appear.

This vid is amazing, by the way.

@dufake: Fear not!, nothing stop a true modder, other than school homework, a GF/wife or a fulltime job. But other than that, NOTHING!. If the developer don’t provide a tool, and data is encripted, there are tools like Hex Editors, and stuff!, If the OS don’t have Hex Editors, the modder will download then from the Internet!. Nothing!, I say.

If this were a music video I’d buy it and watch it 24 hours a day on MTV

November 27th, 2008 at 10:24 pm

Gravatar Chris R says:

That tune is really catchy, lol. That’s a great video… I want to see the TF2 chars dancing around like this now. And the L4D zombies… :)

Gravatar Jocho says:

Someone should make an post-apocalypse dancing game!

The tricky part will be explaining the dancing. ^^

November 28th, 2008 at 8:22 am

Gravatar Dominic White says:

Jocho: Easy. An FEV (Funk Evolution Virus) outbreak.

November 28th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

Gravatar Tei says:

@Dominic White: Geez. guys.. it already exist, is called Tarantella. and is italian virus that make people dance.

November 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

Gravatar Tei says:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantella

A convulsion infuriated the human frame….Entire communities of people would join hands, dance, leap, scream, and shake for hours….Music appeared to be the only means of combating the strange epidemic…lively, shrill tunes, played on trumpets and fifes, excited the dancers; soft, calm harmonies, graduated from fast to slow, high to low, prove efficacious for the cure.[3]
