History ShoutOut / Fallout

** The [[TheWizardOfOz "Tin Man"]] (really just a man in Enclave power armor that has rusted into immobility and needs to be oiled.)

The Fallout series is a series overloaded with references. Aside from the obvious ''MadMax'' and 1950's pulp sci-fi influences, everything from StarTrek to MontyPython gets referenced.

* Three Dog's style is an homage or {{Expy}} of noted Fifties DJ Wolfman Jack.

** A bazaar where the party can purchase the Devilthorn Jacket, a reference to the Demonspike Coat from ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' (and completely unwearable due to having the exact same stat requirements.) The people in the bazaar also spout common MMORPG player lines (in particular from EverQuest.)

* The Dunwich Building, [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror as evident from the name]], is basically one big HPLovecraft reference.

** A liquid metal brahmin named the B1000 that spouts {{Terminator}} quotes.
