The best Fallout TV Easter eggs from episodes one and two

eurogamer.net:

From Castlevania to Arcane, Halo to The Last of Us, we've been treated to plenty of video game TV adaptations over the past few years — and it's always interesting to see how their worlds translate into another medium.

Now, we have Amazon's Fallout adaptation, from Westworld's Jonathan Nolan and Bethesda itself — and we've already been watching.

You can find Eurogamer's Fallout TV series review online already if you want to know whether the show is worth your time — but for fans, we wanted to call out a few particular moments and Fallout Easter eggs worthy of a bit more discussion from the first two episodes. Please note, there will be Fallout spoilers ahead.

Yellow and blue/Mr Handy/Groknak the Barbarian

The first episode of Fallout begins with The End. Actually. Those are the words that flash up on the screen. But before the end of the end, we are taken to a kids birthday party, where Walton Goggins' Cooper Howard is on the back of a horse performing some tricks with a lasso. He is wearing blue and yellow — a ironic nod to the Vault Dwellers' suits to come, as Goggins' character does not make it into the vault. Also, this family has their own Mr Handy — like Codsworth from Fallout 4, as an example — although we only get to see it very briefly in the background.

My favourite little Easter egg from this scene, however, is Groknak the Barbarian. When the kids settle down to watch a cartoon with their cake, what do they watch? Well, of course Groknak, Fallout's own parody of Conan the Barbarian. In the games, Groknak the Barbarian is a comic book series. I wonder if the characters will collect them as the show continues?

Fallout's SPECIAL system

In the Fallout games, your character's abilities and skills are based on the SPECIAL system. This stands for: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. We get a little nod
