Behind the scenes[]
- Johnny is a nod to the character Johnny "Five Aces" from The Zybourne Clock, an abandoned game project proposed and mocked incessantly by members of the Something Awful forums. His appearance in Fallout: New Vegas is based on the original concept sketch of the character, as well as some of the concept storyline. The reference was implemented by Joshua Sawyer.[1] The following is a quote the main developer of The Zybourne Clock used to describe the project, which explains the placement of the balls in-game:
“When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.
Time works the same way.”
Time works the same way.”
- During a 10th anniversary stream of Fallout: New Vegas, Sawyer stated that the traps surrounding Johnny were placed because he served as a lookout, but the traps were evaded and he was killed.[2]

Joshua Sawyer: "'Why is this place trapped?' Well, the idea was that there was someone up here who was like a lookout and they got killed. That their traps were evaded. ...Johnny, we hardly knew ye. The reference is Johnny Five Aces. We got the Johnny mug. We got the five aces. We got the four balls at the edge of a cliff. We got time working the same way."
