That's what I was going to mention. When I saw him, I had to say "HellO!" in that boisterous manner. I did the same with the Uncle Leo in Shivering Isles.BolognaBaloney said:
I like coming across those weird random characters. Mad Mel was an obvious reference to a well known actor. The bastard tried mugging me so I showed him for the pussy he was and then I enslaved him... The fkin nazi.
I also like those bizarre places like the Plunger Room, Dunwhich Building, trippy vault 106, and crazy Vault 108(? The one with the Garies, Garys... What?s plural for Gary?). Oh, and the firing range on the mothership: after getting the perk associated with it I enjoyed just hitting the button so all sorts of weirdos would have a free for all ? Deathclaws Attacking Sentrybots Attacking Raiders = comedy gold.
Oh yeah escaped slaves,
was coming up around a ridge southwest of lamplight, and there where 3 slave guys all
crouching like they was being shot at.
First one in the bunch came up to me and asked if I'd help, Since I was playing a 'bastard' type I thought "sure, why not, who cares if I don't have a whole lot put into my explosives skill, it ain't my head"
So of course I failed the check, he ran off and his head exploded.
Then almost immediately after that, the next came came up to me and we repeated the whole scenario. and then once again, Boom, guy loses his head.
Now after sitting there and watching both of his comrades explode the third guy comes up to me as well. I figure 3rd times charms, but nope same thing.
Oh well, I check/loot the bodies and move on and I rationalize that those slaves are better off now anyway.

I do the same thing with Dogmeat. Nice to know I'm not the only one who does that.MiracleOfSound said:
I've seen the Roach King, the fight for the fridge, And the Gary clones.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet though: I think I was somewhere in D.C. and I stumbled upon a raider initiation. A naked raider was being circled by other raiders that were armed with nail boards and baseball bats.
I took em all out with one well-placed grenade...
Oh, and I also found a Gary corpse in the operation Anchorage outcast base, in a maintainence closet.... So far away from his kin.

Lets see i have the GOTY versoin so i have lots of storys to tell.
1= i was in the look out point area and was walking along the shore waisting the crab/ lobster things untill i looked up and say two figures walking to the edge of a cliff, then suddenly one of the figures shoots the other one in the back and he falls into the ocean
. I'm still not sure what that was about.
2= one day while roaming the waistlands i came across an area where there were the shopping cart trap things with a teddy bear in it. "Aww" i say as i open the cage and that the bear, as i turn to leave realising how gay that was a behemoth mutant runs up out of no where;
3=after being taken by the aliens and running a muck through thier ship i got to the part where the aboninations started spawing. when one of them saw me it instantly ran towards me pointing at me as if it were saying, "Look how shiny he is O_O"
4= another day i was attaked by raiders, i easly despatched of them and was left with just one raider who wet his pants and legged it. ofcoure seeing the fun in this i gave chase and VATS shoot him in the head with the railroad rifle. his head came completely off and his body did cartwheels frozen in one place for a good 45 seconds before he landed.
5= my last one would be one area in the waists where i could here this one guy ranting about something stupid, as i explored i came across a waistlander who was complaining about how the guy would'nt shut up. so useing my speech skill i convined the waistlander to talk to the guy. As he ran off i decided to follow him but was soon halted when a wave of super explosions detonated 2 feet infront of me O_O when the explosions finished there was no sighn of the waistlander.

I was in the Mirelurk nest doing the Survival Guide mission (got around to doing it late in the game), I fell at least 3 stories after being knocked into a hole and survived. If my health was any less, I would have been a ragdoll (and I have still yet to die on that character).
I also came across some Megaton survivors (after nuking it of course). I walked up to talk to them, but somehow they knew I kerploded their town. They started shooting at me and soon realized they were no match. The last of the surviving survivors tried the run away. Emphasis on tried.

This is one of the things i hope Obsidian gets right for Fallout: NV. The little things and stories you find randomly make the world seem more alive, some are even funny. Like the guy you find underground in Broken Steel who tried to use a motor bike and snapped his neck and was left hanging.
A UFO blew up near me and dropped a gun I think. It landed on a roof but I picked up some random ammo.

Also, Vault 108. Fun stuff, and I had fun finding out what happened.
The quest for the MIRV was crazy too.
As previously mentioned, the radio transmission you find telling you that a family needs medical attention mad me sad too.
Also, as a totally random encounter, I saw two Wastelanders come up against an Albino Radscorpion. It wasn't even a short fight, they held out for a long time, but eventually ran out of ammo. They were ripped to pieces. It sort of made me think about how fragile life is.
Then I nuked the radscorpion.
I knew I couldn't have been the only one to think of that!waterhazard said:
