What in the Goddamn Nuke

Necessary By Any Means Quicksaving... HP AP CND

What it means

A surreal first-person video-game clip begins with a grinning man in a casino wearing a jacket covered in the phrase “Necessary By Any Means,” then abruptly cuts to Fallout: New Vegas gameplay in a dusty settlement. The player wanders through the blue-tinted wasteland before a gigantic nuclear explosion erupts, turning the sudden “What in the goddamn—” reaction into an absurd apocalyptic punchline. Pearl Jam’s grunge rock song “Even Flow” heightens the chaotic, overdramatic mood and makes the nuclear blast feel deliberately ridiculous.
