Noticed this one today while playing:

Raider Recruit: How can you kill women and children?
Raider Veteran: Easy, You just dont lead them as much.

As seen in Full Metal Jacket.

Nope, it's from Full Metal Jacket, when Joker and Rafterman are in the helicopter and the guy is hanging outside with the M-60 yelling "GET SOME!"

Good movie, super shitty game, I hope Kubrick comes back from the dead and murders these douches.

Agreed, or something.

If not, R. Lee Ermy will suffice.

(BTW: R.L.E. was in FMJ, which is Easter-Egged in FOBOS, which is a shittier version of Fallout Tactics, which R.L.E. did voice acting for!)

I win.

More half-assed Easter Eggs... It's like making stupid homonym puns in literature, and that should only be allowed for the mental disease known as Piers Anthony (but only to be studied so the water can be treated to eliminate that kind of genetic defect).

It's one thing to put in an easter egg that is witty and has to have the player think a moment to fully get it, but it seems that Inertplay is happy to go for half-ass as usual.

AKA, the Inertplay Half-Ass Usual

i found yet another one.

Ghoul: Im in a world of shit now!

Yet ANOTHER FMJ quote.

I didn't think Piers Anthony was that bad... I mean the first few Xanth novels were fairly clever and entertaining. Then again, I was 10 years old when I read them.

Good easter eggs are obscure or rare ones. Good example: "You see Ed; Ed's dead," (used only once in Fallout 1, an original twist on the "Zed's dead", and not that many people get it anyway.) Bad example: anything Monty Python (lame, overused, geek humor is not funny, asshole.) The overused FMJ quotes fall in the 'bad' category.

Yes, I'm pissed about the poor quality of easter eggs in games today.

Heh, 'Mike like ears' wasn't too obscure or rare. Is that easter egg good or bad?

Easter eggs should be hard to find or hard to figure out...I think the "Mike" thing was something not everyone would notice (some people might not have even done the boxing thing in New Reno at all), and younger gamers might not have any idea about ear-biting Tyson...So I'd consider it good.

Movie quotes are bad because...Well..The people attracted to games like this would most likely have similar tastes in movies, so..well..It's a no-brainer.

I think Sulik with the hammer could have been considered an Easter Egg about Earth Abides..In that book, the people pretty much turn into tribals and their leader, a man that lived before the mass-death, always carried a hammer. His tribe considered it a source of power...I dunno..I'm probably way off on a limb. But you have to admit: Sulik was a master at the sledge hammer.

True, but the average young gamer rarely have any idea about anything, they'd probably miss the whole slew of Monty Python references as well. I think the Tyson reference, along with a good handful others in FO2 were much too obvious, and a tat juvenile.

Besides, the whole boxing ordeal in New Reno was just a big disorganized pool of obvious references.

'Course, that was just one pool in a giant swamp of easter eggs.
