    What's up smooth skin, I'm the sherif in this here puddle. It looks like you broke your leg when you shot your rocket launcher straight into the ground. Nothing a nuka cola and a quick rest couldn't fix. Why don't you rest a spell and listen to the new episode of Need For Speedrunning. They dig into the Bethesda mess that is Fallout 3, a run I find very entertaining. Speaking of running, you shouldn't put too much weight on your leg, even though it does seem like you are running faster.You can find bananapegasus' WR run here: https://www.speedrun.com/fallout_3/runs/zxj5785yFor a version of the commentary with no game audio, head here: https://www.patreon.com/possiblybad
