"Pete Hines: Well, Todd Howard (Executive Producer at Bethesda) has talked a little about this. We're not big fans of jokes… developers that try to tell jokes, it tends not to work very well. You know, the humour in Fallout 3 is that you can get a weapon and blow a guy to a bloody mess, then when you pull up your interface, you see a little smiling cartoon character holding his thumb up. Like that's funny… funny not in terms of jokes or winks at the camera and such…"

I really do think that this is very disturbing. It as if he, and Todd Howard, and Bethsoft, all think that the humour in Fallout is just limited to this shooting people in a bloody mess --- and getting a thumbs up...

To me, that isn't the humour I associate with Fallout humour.
The Fallout humour comes from the setting, the dialqoues and tyhe interactions with the other characters in the universe as well as from the fact that you are a loner in a strange odd desert-like world in which you're striving to get by. And this often results in
very humorous situation, often delivered in the way of grim or sardonic or gallows humour.

I think that was his general meaning, he was just giving an example. It is very lame that he couldn't come up with one of his own though.
 
dont know where its from :) but when i saw it i was like : omg F3 concept art ... its probably from star trek - one of those crazy holodeck episodes .. dont know really
 
It's from Star Trek, I don't know what episode or movie exactly, but it happens when the Borg board the ship and Patrick Stewart goes into the holodeck and kills the lot of them with a machine-gun. The kid who gets shot is supposedly a Borg in holodeck form.
 
Ooohh...

I thought it was the main character of Fo3 (modelled after and voice-acted by Patrick Stewart) trying to waste some annoying stealing kid in a New Reno casino, but got owned by the developers who made the children unkillable.

OMG even funnier than the .gif itslef :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I know this has been brought up before, but this guy really seems bad with words considering he's a PR guy. I think he means well with the humor comment, but it's not exactly a good example.
The Terminator comment is also just... what?

I just realized that a lot of questions about Fallout 3 in interviews will basically consist of:
'So yeah, the Fallout games are loved among the fans because of the dark humor and the adult setting...'

I'm going to exhibit my nerd-dom, and tell you that this is from the movie ST: First Contact
 
I understand that most PR guys tend to sound like broken records, but I'm getting really tired of Pete saying the same bad PR vomit (Fallout is cartoons making fun of violence!) over and over again. Could they at least give him something slightly less idiotic to say? Or let him talk about what kind of catfood he prefers. Or the time he fell for the Landshark's candygram trick. Anything, really.

This, irrc, from the movie: STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT. (or was it called something else?)

It is from the above mentioned movie where Picard shoots the Borg and enjoys it. (a lot). The movie is about --- well let's just say -
that a certain Zachery Cochran --- plays an important movie role in this movie.
 
You have to give "Old Pete" credit for being pretty sharpe with those trick questions he hasnt slipped up yet :)

I guess that Harold wouldnt be recomending him a little time on the wetstone so far.
