It's a good question. Would you even want to live after the apocalypse? Radiation everywhere, staying in the shelter all your life and etc.
it would be okay if you lived in a mini city type vault ( a.k.a Fallout )

woah, this is a beautiful video
Threads is a good film if your into finding out what hypothetically would happen after a nuclear attack, to the survivors at least.
Castle Bravo is a child's toy compared to the Tsar Bomba
Nuclear Bunker Blaster... Fuck...
Title should clarify it's Vsauce3, not Vsauce. Kinda important because a lot of people like Michael but not Jake.

But what he said still doesn't mean that a person can't start acting like a ghoul when you get badly irradiated.

Jake has a few crappy videos, but ones like this are really good.
It is very relaxing to know that countries are basically engaged in a global-scale mexican standoff.

Warning sirens are especially creepy when you imagine how, during a nuclear apocalypse, all the sirens from around the world would be blaring at the same time, like a final death cry for humanity. That sound could potentially be, more or less, the last thing anyone ever hears
I'd do it but if i could have one wish at all it would be to have V.A.T.S as an actual thing, otherwise fuck it no thanks.

[QUOTE=Pappi_man;49173216]It's a good question. Would you even want to live after the apocalypse? Radiation everywhere, staying in the shelter all your life and etc.[/QUOTE] yeah, it probably wouldn't just work :v:

I'm too afraid to die. I'd have to deal with it. Until, eventually, I can't take it anymore and I grab my shotgun. I suppose, if it does happen, I hope I get caught in the initial blast. I am thankfully living in a strategic target currently.
Even if the governments are going for maximum surface exposure, they can't destroy all the land. Caves will still be safe. Forests will grow back thrice as strong.

Close enough that if it gets nuked, I would see the flash and not really even have time to shit myself before I'd get vaporized. So I guess no, I wouldn't be able to survive a fallout :v:
I live near Denver. The New Plague will likely kill me before the bombs drop.

[QUOTE=Warship;49173306]woah, this is a beautiful video[/QUOTE] yeah, but the content imo is kind of crappy and lacking. he said that people get radiation sickness, but then failed to go into detail what it means. it felt like he didn't even complete the video. he goes "who knows how long you would have to stay in" and then it seems was too lazy to actually do any research about estimates.
Fallout - the game - is one of my favourite fictional series... but nothing in it, not even the scores of skeletons and vestiges of pre-war life you find, send chills down my spine like videos such as this one do. It's always worth a reality check to go and really take a long hard look at the horror of nuclear weaponry, how sheerly [I]destructive[/I] it is, because I don't think many people these days understand or remember. It hasn't been a serious threat for a full generation now, but even into the 80s the threat of nuclear war felt very real. There's nothing romantic or cool about the potential for nuclear holocaust.

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact he bothered to don a gasmask, that had a breached seal entirely around his face by his headband, as well as facial hair? At that point, he shouldn't have even bothered with wearing it.
