[[http://www.youtube.com/user/WaysideCreations#p/c/5E9CAB444A9CECB8 Fallout: Nuka Break]] is a FanFilm series set in the {{Fallout}} Universe. It's made by Wayside Creations, created and written by Zack Frinfrock and co-written by Brian Clevinger of ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' and ''AtomicRobo'' fame. Originally just a short film, positive reaction lead to it being revived as a continuing series. AndTheFandomRejoiced.
The series stars three protagonists: Twig, a [[IdiotHero dim-witted]], overweight Vault Dweller, Scar, a [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon Laser-Rifle-toting]] former Legion slave, and [[KleptomaniacHero Ben]], an amoral ghoul. Together, they try to survive the Mojave Wasteland, and, in Twig's case, search for the perfect "Nuka Break."
Complicating matters, is a bounty put on the trio by Caesar's Legion for freeing Scar and Ben's [[KleptomaniacHero unscrupulous item-obtaining measures]] have put them in a tight spot where finding work is difficult.

----
!! Fallout: Nuka Break contains the following tropes:
* ArtifactTitle: Or rather it's importance and direct relevance to the plot. Twig's desired "Nuka Break" is achieved halfway through the first season, but the trio are still actively trying to find peace and stability while surviving in the Mojave Wasteland.
* ActionGirl: Scar. In episode 4, she beat the crap out of a [[spoiler: slaver merc]] who tried to disarm her. Even Twig was impressed. [[spoiler: Too bad another one shot her in the arm.]]
* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: The NCR Veteran Ranger the group runs into is the straightest example so far.]]
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad / BiggerIsBetter: Vault 10 holds a similar attitude towards fatness. Being fat is considered normal and (comparatively) skinny people such as Twig are bullied and made fun of for their size (or lack thereof).
* BigDamnHeroes: By none other than the [[spoiler:Mysterious Stranger]] to Twig in episode 6.
* [[spoiler: BolivianArmyEnding: At the end of episode 4, Larry ambushes the crew for [[BigBad Leon Swallow]], Scar's owner. In the last moments of the episode, one of his men seemingly shoots her in the back (it's actually her arm, so she's okay.]]
* BountyHunter: They've run into a few, due to the Legion putting a price on their heads. Luckily for them, the only ones they've encountered so far have been [[TooDumbToLive completely incompetent.]]
** It's now pretty clear that the [[TooDumbToLive idiot raiders and mercs]] that came after Scar and company were misinformed. Leon's bounty on Scar was supposed to be '''2000 caps''', which is more than what [[FalloutNewVegas The Courier gets paid for the Platinum Chip.]] [[spoiler: Episode 4 ends with Ben's old friend betraying them and getting a team of competent and numerous mercs to capture Scar.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: When the NCR Ranger drops the name of an important person from Ben's past, he immediately begins throwing punches. The Ranger deflects them easily and disables Ben in BulletTime. Then Twig attacks with his Shishkebab, which fares as well as you'd expect, while Scar's smart enough to not jump in. Really, the only reason the group is still alive is because the NCR Ranger wanted to talk.]]
* ExposedToTheElements: Let's just say Scar must go through a lot of sunblock.
* FatAndProud: The people of Vault 10.
* HairTriggerTemper: Red, in the movie. She shoots [[spoiler:one of her teammates]] in the face. She later [[spoiler: shoots [[VicMignogna Trader Vic]] when he finds her unconscious at the end of the film]].
** Scar, too, if Twig's frequent fights with Scar are any indication.
*** Confirmed in Episode 2 where she slugs Ben for being a JerkAss.
* IdiotHero: Played with, [[WordOfGod Zack Frinfrock]] said at [[PennyArcade PAX]] the only reason why Twig is still alive is a 10 for Luck stat.
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Red does this to [[spoiler: Joey]]. Tanner implies it's not the first time...
* KleptomaniacHero: Ben. Besides looting every corpse he finds, Ben thought their Courier job was a scam, stole all the objects and replaced them with "useless crap" which lead to them getting kicked out of [[FalloutNewVegas Goodsprings]].
-->"Woo! Free shit! Woo!"
* LetsGetDangerous: Episode 5 features the trio deciding to get this, with Twig robbing a merchant for a Shishkebab, Scar beating the crap out of the mercs who captured them and Ben deciding the only way the situation their in is going to end is if they go after BigBad Leon Swallow, or else the mercs will keep coming.
* MythologyGag: Just about every gun, outfit, and item in the series is a replica of something from Fallout, including Vault Jumpsuits, Laser Rifles, Bottlecap Mines, That Gun, and of course, Nuka Cola.
** Of particular note is Scar's Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, which does fire 3 laser beams as in game each time it's fired.
** Episode 3 reveals that Ben worked in the [[{{Fallout2}} Stables of New Reno]] with [[TokenEvilTeammate Myron.]]
** Larry has the Eyebot from the movie on the shelf behind his Jet stall.
** At the end of Episode 2 and the beginning of episode 3 there are several [[RedShirtArmy NCR Civilian Rangers]] and one [[EliteMooks NCR Veteran]] [[GasMaskLongcoat Desert]] [[BadassLongcoat Ranger.]]
** Episode 4 features a very faithful recreation of a Legion Slave camp.
** Episode 5 features the Shiskebab and a Nuka Cola Quantum. It also has an internal mythology gag with [[spoiler:the return of Red]].
** The Eastwood shopkeeper remarks that Twig must "have a lead belly" to drink so much irradiated Nuka Cola without getting sick (which happened in the fan film). "Lead Belly" is the name of a gameplay perk that cuts down on the poisoning incurred from eating foods and drinking irradiated liquids (though ironically not Nuka Cola).
* {{Narrator}}: Played by [[VicMignogna Vic Mignogna]] in both the movie and series!
* NiceHat: Mayor Conners of Eastwood has a foot tall top hat.
* NonIndicativeName: [[TheBigGuy Twig]].
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because it came from [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad Vault]] [[BiggerIsBetter 10]].
* OddFriendship: A chubby Vault-Dweller, a [[KleptomaniacHero kleptomaniac]] ghoul, and a [[BadassAdorable badass]] former slave. We know how Ben and Twig met Scar, but how Ben and Twig ever hooked up as traveling companions is completely unimaginable.
--> Scar: "Don't look at me, he's your friend."
--> Ben: "*''My'' friend? I don't even ''like'' the guy."
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: See TrashTheSet.
* RemonstratingWithAGun: Scar warns Ben about doing this in the FanFilm.
* RunningGag: Disclaimer: "Please don't sue us!"
* SceneryGorn: The series uses visual effects to add post-apocalyptic rubble in wide shots, adding a very nice atmospheric effect.
* SerialEscalation: Despite being a fan project with limited funding, they got full support from [[ChrisAvellone Chris]] [[MyRealDaddy Avellone]] at Obsidian, Bethesda has openly supported them, and had two high profile actors ([[VicMignogna Vic Mignogna]] and [[DougJones Doug Jones]]) work on their project.
** Then Obsidian gave the series a [[ShoutOut shout out]] by adding the unique rebar club, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming The Nuka Breaker]] in the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC for FalloutNewVegas!
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the series, Ben's signature weapon is FalloutNewVegas's Hunting Shotgun.
* StealthHiBye: Ben somehow does this while standing in the middle of an ambush. [[BehindTheBlack The moment he's offscreen, he's gone.]] The ambushers actually have to look around to realize he's [[RightBehindMe right behind their leader.]] His Stealth skill must be maxed out.
** [[spoiler:The mysterious stranger who saved Twig in episode 6.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Twig and Nuka Cola.
--> '''Twig''': "You have any more Nuka Cola?"
--> '''Old Man''': "I got Sunset Sarsaparilla."
--> '''Twig''': "That's '''not''' Nuka Cola."
* TrashTheSet: Not a straight example, but the set Eastwood was filmed in burned down in a recent wildfire[[https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/293241_923644622218_60716319_40470551_518576408_n.jpg]]. [[WordOfGod Aaron Giles]] blamed the [[FalloutNewVegas fiends]].
** ThrowItIn: In Episode 6, Leon Swallow blows the town to smithereens with a Fat Man.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Ben and Twig, and Ben and Scar. Ben openly admits he's not too crazy about Twig and openly tries to get him killed, yet is completely willing to give him back-up. Scar is routinely offended by Ben's behavior, often [[WhatTheHellHero calling him out]] on such things, to which he does apologize for.
--> Scar: "You're an ass, you know?"
--> Ben: "I know, sorry."
* WeaponOfChoice: Twig uses his .223/5.56 Pistol, you know, [[FalloutNewVegas That]] [[BladeRunner Gun]]. Ben uses a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Hunting Shotgun]] and Scar has her [[FrickinLaserBeams Tri-Beam Laser Rifle]].
* WebcomicTime: A [[JustifiedTrope justified]] example. Episode 5 was delayed a week because the VFX guys couldn't finish the big fight scene in the episode fast enough. When it turned out extremely well, they openly admitted on Twitter that they rushed to released the first four episodes and currently Nuka Break now airs once every three weeks instead of every two, giving the effects people more time and the actors the ability to do pick up scenes.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The last half of season 1 was filmed and then needed to be refilmed when a wildfire destroyed the Eastwood set. Many characters who were give names (like Raz) were intended to have much larger roles in the series... which can't happen now. As a result they trunkated their last half of the season to end at episode 6 (the original intent was 9 for a decent length season) with the above mentioned ThrowItIn as their cliff-hanger for season 2, which will be ''nothing'' like the original intention.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Twig's reaction to being complimented on a steal by Scar and Ben.
--> "…That doesn't make me feel good."
