The ads didn't actually want to sell you anything.

My main radio station I listen to is publicly funded so there's no ads. It does however have a show with 2 comedians doing social and political commentary with deadpan delivery. Sadly just one episode per week.

There's also a hangover show with other comedians but I don't find it as funny recently. Greatest hits include things like a morning exercise routine that concludes with moving yourself just enough to grab a beverage and resume drinking.

All the stations are such over the top parodies. Real world people saying dumb shit isn’t funny, it’s sad.

Patrice o Neal having a character in wktt gta4 radio is one of my faves. Those were so funny at the time

If ads on real radio were just clips of standup comedians, I wouldn't complain about 'em. 🤷‍♂️

Unless they were all by annoying hacks 😉

HEY HEY YOU YOU I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND

Fight Music for the Fight is still one of the most blood-pumping tracks I’ve come across. Amazing it shares a soundtrack with a censored version of Girlfriend by Avril Levine.

I'm listening to Fallout radio so much, Spotify Wrapped said that my listening age is 100.

I've played New Vegas so much that I can now actually just sing along to half the songs in the game.

I've got a decent baritone voice, I can do Big Iron, Blue Moon, Heartaches by the Number, Jingle Jangle Jingle, whistle the solos, etc.

Butcher Pete from FO3 is also quite fun to sing, haha!

And of course: I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire.

And and, I dunno if These Boots Are Made For Walkin' made it into a Fallout game, but it very much seems to fit, and I taught myself to sing a baritone version of it.

Also you'd really think Hound Dog and Heartbreak Hotel would fit in, but I guess nobody can afford the licensing rights, hah!

But yeah I'm gonna say Mr. New Vegas is my favorite dj from the series... much better voice synthesis than our modern day, newfangled LLMs, Mr. House has some kinda trick up his sleeve, as usual.

We got self-refferential 'chuck norris' jokes:

"You know, I tried to measure my Charisma on a Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester once. The machine burst into flames."

... and a comforting, soft yet commanding voice, telling you:

"It's me again, Mr. New Vegas, reminding you that you're nobody 'til somebody loves you. And that somebody is me. I love you."

I've bought so many old records due to the fallout series... Damned be their music selection

E: GTA got me listening to K-DST day and night as well

Fallout music has been the weakest part of any of the series, I use to pop out the disc after the game loaded and play CDs in the originals. Thhhhhhrrrrrreeeeee Doooooggggg if your out there vault looter pick up some music that doesn't stink up the room.

A tech bro radio station, filled to the brim with AI songs actually sounds like a very GTA thing to do.

Lazlow Jones (the writer/voice of the radio stations) and Dan Houser (Co-founder of Rockstar) left the company to work on an AI Satire venture.

You could look up the songs used in San Andreas and put together your own Playlist. Fix the injustice in the world and all that.

I know what Fallout's radio lacks that would make it so much better: An in-world talk show. Like, the songs are great and all but they're not unique to the game since they used licensed stuff. I like the DJ segments, tho. But I mean... All we get is a few seconds of Three Dog, or Mr. Las Vegas, or Travis here and there (depending on the game).

Imagine a GTA style talk radio station, but in the Fallout universe. Maybe the host gets a raider to talk to that inevitably ends with the raider shooting up the studio. Or a hick wastelander trying to show off his 3 headed brahmin because he doesn't understand how radio works.

It was good, but I always liked the mod that added the songs from Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Maybe a bit niche, and I haven't played in a while, but the piped in bar music at stations for Elite Dangerous was incredible. It did not have to be that diverse and immersive, but their sound team doesn't do anything less than 100%.

one love plus one love makes two, so this is studio two, with double of love!
