“No, I haven’t sat down to play the games,” said Walton Goggins, who plays pre-war movie star Cooper Howard and his post-war counterpart The Ghoul. “And I won’t. I won’t. I won’t play the games. I’m not interested.”

The reason is actually pretty simple: Goggins doesn’t want to think of the world or the characters of Fallout as elements of a game.

“All of a sudden, I’m looking at this world from a very different perspective, and as something on a screen in which I am an avatar in. I don’t believe that I’m an avatar. I believe The Ghoul exists in the world. I believe that Cooper Howard exists in the world.” he said.

“The best way that I can serve this world and serve the fans of this game, I think, is to go to work every single day and believe the circumstances that I’m presented with,” Goggins said.

    Counter-counter: Henry Cavill was playing the Witcher, the central character in the lore. Walter Goggins is playing someone not in the original lore.

        Yeah, no.

        Your only source is a video from a movie that is nearly 50 years old.

        A single usage in a video doesn’t make something a word.

        The video itself doesn’t even make it a compound word. No one on the video ever says those words.

          That would be a sketch from the comedy movie “The Kentucky Fried Movie”. It’s parodying what political shows were like in its time.
