In this video, not only will we try to build a working Geiger counter, clock, and holotape, but we will also be exploring the little-known journey it took to create the Pip-boy kit and why it almost never happened. Join us as I, Chris Barnardo, Nate Purkeypile, Dan Lanigan, and more, tell this epic story.
