Atomic Radio – Commercials: Grey Tortoise Man

Here’s another one of these, a parody of an old Marlboro Man commercial. When I originally scribbled this bit I debated for hours whether I was going to have an explosion at the end but ultimately decided that was overkill.

Now to sneak in some site news – the hosting renewal is coming up in April and I may have to downgrade from a VPS to a shared server for the time being, mainly because ad revenue rates are down for the industry as a whole. This won’t effect file download speed since I keep all the files on the WordPress.com servers, but I’m experimenting with less widgets to help with page speed in the event I need to switch. If people miss the music player I can always bring it back, but I doubt it gets much use.

Atomic Radio – Commercials: Supradent

Not sure how well this works, but I was bored and wanted to try using some of the commercial footage that Atomic Radio parodies. This is an old Colgate commercial which I altered to a Fallout, lore friendly advertisement for Supradent toothpaste(You may have seen billboards for it up and around the Commonwealth). The announcer is voiced by Noi Sek.

In making this, I’ve listened to this stupid jingle more times than the surgeon general considers safe, so pardon me while I go to the nearest wall and bang my head into it repeatedly.

Atomic Radio – Blast Radius

Here’s a commercial for one of the many new products introduced in Fallout 4, Blast Radius. It’s a parody of an old Roger Maris commercial where he looks into the camera with dead eyes and reads a cue card about his exciting new board game.

You can download a replacer version of the mod here, I don’t think I’m going to put it up on Nexus until the kit comes out, but we’ll see. I’m not entirely sure why the vanilla radio station randomizes tracks so poorly, but there might be a method to what music they want to play when and where. I know time conditions didn’t really work all that well for Fallout 3, but I do want the horror shows and late night talk segments to play later in the day.
