If you're reading this, you've presumably played some Fallout games. Perhaps quite a lot of them. Perhaps repeatedly. Perhaps you've tried some things to make play-throughs more interesting, like playing through Fallout 1 without killing anyone, or an Iron Man run in any of the games. I don't think you've quite done what YouTuber Many A True Nerd has done, though: played through Fallout: New Vegas without ever healing.
Playing through the entire game that way turns it into a tense, stealth-based affair where avoiding enemies suddenly becomes the most important thing to do. More important than completing quests, or playing like a good person -- or a bad person, for that matter. Many A True Nerd ends up killing folks just to get some good armor. It's pretty crazy -- and a completely different experience from any New Vegas run I've done. Kotaku has a ton of details and quotes from the guy, if you prefer reading instead of watching someone play a game. Regardless, this is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
