Couldn’t have an actor more deserving to be a part of video game history.

Funny how vault boy is one of the most badass characters in fallout

[Degamer]

Fun fact, if you look closely enough, you can see he’s still wearing that sheriffs outfit

[Chromatome]

I wonder how long Vault boy was in circulation for before the war, because it seems like it became prolific in a very short time between the photoshoot that spawned him and the great war.

Cooper Howard, the lore around him, and his “afterlife” as the force of nature that is The Ghoul is probably my favorite addition to the lore that the show made.

Man gave us a glimpse into pre-war Vault tech’s corruption and scheming, and then basically became a vengeful spirit of the wasteland, apparently showing up every few decades to wreak havoc for his own gain before disappearing again.

Can’t wait to see where is arc goes next.

His sheriff character was actually the main character of a serial film (series like James Bond) the precursor to TV series.
That’s what made him famous and why he objected that “his character“ wouldn’t just shoot someone in the face. “Why don’t I arrest him, that’s kinda my thing.”

Blue and gold are both my favorite colors too, I'm glad the vault suits were always that

So funny in lore fact that is a real world fact during the 50s and 60s children where taught the thumb tricks in schools, this was also a thing for businesses to hold meetings about proper radiation protection and safety due to the threat of nuclear war with Russia. I love how they took real world ideals and cultures to make such a fleshed out universe

[NathanWeeks]

I just recently noticed the Ghoul is still wearing that blue and gold cowboy shirt under his raggedy outfit. I guess polyester really does last forever.

[LegendStormcrow]

Hot damn! This explains the old Vault/Pip Boy with black hair!

It also explains those educational videos with the Vault Boy they did. They killed him in several scenarios if I recall.

[CLEVE_JR]

I love him as the bad guy but when he plays bad and good at the same time OMG . HEART THROB

[ptek]

I think they 100% made the right choice with Walton goggins to be the face of vault tec & a badass cowboy ghoul

[LuminaryAtlas]

Making that connection in the moment while watching the series is one of the insane highlights of the show

[johnmccall]

I'd be willing to bet that his sherrif character is meant to be the inspiration behind Victor in New Vegas.

[lizardboi]

That explains why in the show the ghoul shoots a billboard with vault boy on it

[kadirr]

Im into Fallout 4 about 30 hrs and still havent dropped my Vault suit.

It just looks perfect.

[bradenbollock]

I always thought the thumbs up was from an old nuclear explosion article where if you put your thumb towards the mushroom cloud if the mushroom cloud goes over your thumb you are in danger

[MrYoda-xbmp]

Now every vault boy I find or see is a reminder that this man is still out there in the waste somewhere….badass

[coleburns]

It was Infinitely better than i expected.. but i Really hate how the show Immediately insert itself into being absolutely Key to the state of the wasteland. Showing the origin of vault boy, showing why the vault suits are blue and yellow, confirming who actually dropped the first bombs, and wiping out shady sands makes the show the most Pivotal part of nearly every aspect of fallout lore. It would have been great to get a story that was just a good story without having to be the Most Important fallout story that sets up all of the stories that will take place after it.

[jamesneeley]

Dude, he did such a great job in that role.
