History ShoutOut / FalloutNewVegas

** You can even find miniature versions of the Walking Eye with the Wild Wasteland perk.

* In one of the research labs, you can observe a room with Cyberdogs sitting around a table... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_Playing_Poker poker.]]

* The revealed origin of Cazadores, they were genetically modified to be giant deadly creatures, but were never intended to leave the lab, nor did the scientists acknowledge they were still able to breed. [[JurassicPark Sound familiar?]]

* A minor one, but if one searches they will find that there are three locations within the US referred to as Big Mountain. One of them is [[HalfLife Black Mesa]].

* FanFilm ''FalloutNukaBreak'' gets one in this DLC, before it's even released! A new unique rebar club is added in the game. Its name? The Nuka Breaker.

* One of the challenges is "[[Film/BladeRunner A Benefit or A Hazard]]," for destroying robots with That Gun, which was designed to resemble Deckard's gun from ''Film/BladeRunner.''
* There's a challenge for killing either NCR or Legion assassination teams with cowboy-style weapons called "[[TheOutlawJoseyWales Dyin' Ain't Much of a Living]]."

* Everything from the White Line Nightmare challenge, the name the weapons and the enemies, is a reference to ''Film/MadMax 2''

* A cave can be found (and you're required to visit it for an optional side-quest)that is home to a number of toaster-worshipping Lobotomites, including the first Lobotomite test subject. The name of the cave?[[Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest The Cuckoo's Nest]].

-> When you finally confront Mobius to get your original body parts back, he says it reminds him of a story about "a band of murderous thugs" went on a journey to get "brains, a heart and courage...spine". For bonus points, the interior Mobius's lair is emerald-tinted.

* [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid One of the brains you can heal Rex with comes from a dog named Rey.]]

This is just a small sampling of {{Shout Out}}s featured in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', a game which carries the proud tradition of [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} its series']] tendency of being heavily ReferenceOverdosed. [[http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_cultural_references Here is a more complete list]].

* In one of the research labs, you can observe a room with Cyberdogs sitting around a table... playing poker.

** The in-game model is a reference to BladeRunner.

* A bit of a stretch, but Great Khan Jerry The Punk could be a reference to The Misfits frontman Jerry Only.

* While likely not intentional (they were intended to appear in ''VideoGame/FalloutVanBuren'', which was not specifically set in Vegas, and they're the only major faction without some stake in the Strip), Caesar's Legion could be a reference to the famous Caesar's Palace casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

* The entirety of the Sierra Madre itself - an abandoned 'town' surrounded by an ominous fog, populated almost exclusively by unkillable {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, and people who're trapped there without realizing [[spoiler: they're dead]], where radio static warns of imminent danger - will seem [[Franchise/SilentHill very familiar to certain people]].

* One of the followers is [[ComicBook/RasAlGhul a Ghoul named Raul]].

* A really subtle one is a skeleton in the wasteland can be found lying on the ground with its arms reaching towards a first aid container. It looks eerily similar to a lot of dead [=NPCs=] in old FPS games like Half-Life, where trained soldiers had an odd habit of dying right next to med kits.

* Kudos if you noticed this one: On every single street lamp in the game, there is a tiny plate with [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion TES 4]].

* The OtherWiki [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rime_of_the_Ancient_Mariner_in_popular_culture#Games claims]] the title and general plot of the DLC are based on a line from Coleridge's [[TheRimeOfTheAncientMariner Rime Of The Ancient Mariner]]:

* In a wine cellar filled with Ghost People (scary regenerating abominations fused to their gas masks), the phrase "I AM NOT YOUR MUMMY" can be seen scrawled on the wall. [[Series/DoctorWho Well, I guess now we know where the ghost people came from]]!

* X-13: A stealth training course with [[MetalGear a familiar-looking sneaking suit, patrolling Robobrains, laser tripwires, and landmines]].
