I have some bad news to report everyone. The next episode might take some time to reach you guys. Unfortunately we lost Aquasnake recently.

And by lost I mean he is now playing WoW. So yeah. This could take a little bit of time for me to either shut off his internet connection long enough for him to edit, or just edit it myself.

Wish me luck.

While our resident Drama Queen might be correct about me selling another chunk of my soul to Blizzard, he is less correct in thinking that I would completely abandon you all (again).

Episode 8: Stowing Away on the Wrong Luxury Cruise Liner

I'm fairly capable of multi-tasking. For example, in between my last upload and this one, I watched the entirety of Steven universe in the span of 4 days, along with working on this, and playing WoW, and also overwatch. If you've ever seen those "Pick-two Triangles" with Work, Fun, and Sleep, I always choose fun twice.

Next post is the first post on Page 2, make it a good one.

Edit: ^^ GOD DAMMIT. I guess that will do.

I made it as far as getting into that truck, and that's where I stopped playing this game. So far I have not seen anything to make me regret that decision.

Another half episode, this time of us throwing ourselves at what I think is supposed to be some sort of mini-boss. You may have noticed that this games doesn't have the most robust combat system in all of gaming, so it wasn't very clear how exactly we were supposed to be fighting.

Episode 8.5: Mini-Boss: Try Using Your Head

You may have also noticed that my co-pilot has a very... straight-forward fighting style and doesn't like to change his approach to fights, even when the current plan isn't exactly working.

I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream!

I still don't know how you're supposed to win that fight.

Clearly neither did we.

This episode is almost entirely one giant jumping puzzle, one which we... do not excel at.

Episode 9: Area Under Construction, Runners at Play

But on the plus side, after the end of this episode, we begin the final level of Mirror's Edge. The home stretch. The Final Frontier. As well as the sharp, pointy, devastating parts of the meat grinder.

Bang! You're dead.
Man - there are still parts of this game that make me nervous about falling even when just looking at them. That yellow construction site/fun house was probably the most challenging thing in the entire game for me, it's just a long series of persision tricks with no margin of for error or forgiveness when you screw up.

I think if I tried to play this game with a VR headset I'd be physically ill...

Considering Celeste was a traitor, is it really a surprise they knew where Merc was hiding and would trash him, his place and his old pizzas?

Episode 10: The Long Rising Action Before Being Riddled with Bullets

The only thing left for us to tackle is one room with like 8 guys with guns in it. How long could it possibly take? About an hour and a half apparently.

This is actually a relevant game mechanic in the last fight, so you're not wrong.
