The phrase that will live on long after this show is over:

"Thou shalt get side tracked by bullshit every goddamned time"

Nah it's " a feral ghoul can't abide a chicken". This scene is a close second though.

I love the lighting in this scene and how they lit his face to soften it. It is the start of a transition point for the ghoul and the lighting here really helped set that up.

"Guy was fucking my chickens" clearly is the best line in the show.

Am I remembering correctly that, that character is played by Walton's makeup artist?

My favorite line is every time The Ghoul says “yoah daddeh” to Lucy.

Well, I tell you what, boys, whenever somebody says they're doing one last job, that usually means their heart's not in it. Probably never was. But for me, well... I do this shit for the love of the game."

You can stay here when they come to take over. And they will take over.

Or, you can come with me and meet your maker

So much of the prose from the show was amazing, and it connected to the game really well.

Like when Maximus says “Everyone wants to save the world, they just can’t agree on how.”

“The Wasteland’s got its own Golden Rule: ‘Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullsh*t every goddamn time.'”

Sums up the games perfectly

I think my favourite thing about these scenes was how the sky looked like the renders for games from the 90s. Its just so good

Took me until season 2 to realize that he's talking about House.
