You are making a grave mistake in the assumption that nobody would understand your insults. Stuff them.

My mother was Rhodesian, and her mother Dutch South African. So I might not speak the language but I don't even have to go on line to have it translated.

I was also wondering why he was adressing someone named requiem, as no requiem had replied to him as of yet.

I didn't remember him but I vatted him the other day for not reading the stickies.

As much as I like Alice Cooper none of the suggestions would fit with Tactics, let alone a proper Fallout game. There's something so eerie about Maybe at the start of Fallout that it still sends a shiver down my spine, something no intro music for any other game has done.

And I know enough from Cape Town to recognize mamma knocks. :D

Which seems to be a recurring problem. Since he didn't want to read the rules and stickies on that forum, he got a strike. He also got a strike for not bothering to really read this thread before replying to it as well.

Third time, he's banned. Same infraction, same laziness, so I don't care.

OMFG! Is that, like, why they used Slipknot's "People = Shit" for F:POS?
 
Speaking of "Maybe", during my recent weeks' frenzied scavenge for anything fifties-related, I got hold of the song by Vera Lynn.

It's amazing. Almost identical to the Ink Spots version, and yet completely different. I think a lot of songs by Vera Lynn would make great intro songs for Fallout 3, including the one used in Dr.Strangelove, We'll meet again

Oh yeah. About the Ink Spots. The vocal in the song sounds like a 60+ year old woman. I was surprised to find out the authors were all young, male and Black :D
 
I would like to state (excuse me if this is off topic or redundant) my fervent desire that one day they will actually make soundtracks availble for FO and FO2. I know they made one for 2 but it is ultra rare...

My soul burns with desire to own it.

Yeah, someone on the first page of this thread mentioned it.
Actually, I don't know why, but I usually also associates "We'll meet again" with the Fallout series.
maybe a sort of hope that Beth' won't trash the series Oblivion-style and that "we'll meet again" with FO1/FO2 gameplay ...

Anyway, the song's great and you have great similarities in term of tone, overall feel but ...it's more of an outro song, than an intro, I don't know...
I guess it depends on the animation/pictures being displayed while it's played.
( See for instance your Dr StrangeLove reference )
 
huh? The soundtrack is readily available for download, Lazarus Plus.

Original copies are pretty rare, though. One Orderite at the least has a copy of the Fo2 soundtrack, though.
 
I just wanted to say that in my opinion the fallout 1 intro is one of the greatest gaming intros I have seen.
It could without any change serve as a opening scene for a movie set in that scenario (i think up to the point where the guy starts to talk)

What a great idea. That sentimental 50s music, the naiv vault comics, advertisement of luxury goods and the propaganda broadcasted on tv - then a total on a totally devasted city - what a cynism.
I could watch this short clip 100 times, every detail seems so perfectly fit in.

But you sure know of that already lol :wink:
 
If you play the song "Love Will Tear us Apart" by Joy Division at the Black Isle graphic in FO2, its pretty well in sync with the opening movie.

I don't think it would entirely fit with the game, I'm just saying that it does that.

I'd like to hear some really good Aphex Twin for the F03 intro.

I thought Aphex Twin played ambient sort of music you might hear during the rest of the game. Not sure why you'd want that for the intro.
 
I suggest you all download some Ry Cooder tunes. Especially some of his soundtrack songs, like "Last Man Standing" and "Paris, Texas". This kind of music is ideal for the Fallout franchise.
 
It's an 80s tune, but it could probably be remixed to sound a little more like a 50's song. When the Children Cry by White Lion.
Little child, dry your crying eyes
how can I explain the fear you feel inside?
you were born, into this evil world
where man is killing man, and no one knows just why.
what have we become?
just look what we have done
All that we've destroyed, you must build again...

Of course depending on the theme of the game this could be totally pointless. With people of the wastes just trying to rebuild something resembling a normal life, this wouldn't be too far off.
 
What part of darkly IRONIC do people have problems understanding?

Further suggestion, as it has been beaten to death already, no hair bands. Simply, no.
 
the best intro music for Fallout 3? easy!

Inkspots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire

why? because this was the song that was originally chosen by the Fallout 1 team but they didnt receive the permission to use it.

Beth should use their big corporate badass power of persuasion and take the rights for the song.

That would be a great tribute to the original Fallout team. But they are too dumb to think of that.

Maybe we shall hear violins and trumpets Oblivion soundtrack style! Because this is all they know! Jeremy Soule all the way!
