FrenzyTheKillbot posted:And it was in the first video, when we first arrived at Rhonda's garage, where the group was attacked by a zombie (a zombified ZDC agent no less!) who had an active chip implanted. Clearly there is something up with those things. The way I see it there are two explanations. 1) Anyone who is chipped now, is chipped because they got bit. The Government/Big Pharma/The Real Villain can turn off the zombrex flow remotely, so these people who believed themselves safe are now ticking time bombs. Turn off a handful of chips in a populated area, outbreak occurs, apply cleansing fire until no more zombies. Sweep any undesirables away as "unfortunate casualties" 2) The same drugs that can heal, can harm. IIRC the zombrex was created from the same wasps that infect people and turn them into zombies. So, in a way, Zombrex is kind of like a vaccine, in that a little bit gets your system used to this invading pathogen and you live normally. Except that you need regular boosters, or you will turn. Now, I don't think any of the games have covered what happens if you take too much zombrex. It's a mechanic from the last few games that infected people need doses every 6-12-24 hours. But what happens if you double dose? Is it like antibiotics where taking more than the recommended dose can lead to stronger bacteria/less effective drugs in a big picture way? Or is it more acute where an extra dose might overwrite the good parts of the drug an turn you faster? Maybe the chips are not one size fits all.

I think it's addressed somewhere else but taking zombrex before the narrow 1 hour window 23 hours after your last dose is fatal, Missing that 1 hour window means you immediately turn into a zombie. And if you do then, welp, Phenotrans just got some more queens for their vaccine mills

I just want to say that when I did Hunter's DLC, that boss with the hammer was much easier when I laid down a Freedom Bear before hand. It took out both his friends and helped stagger him.

Having the bosses represent the seven deadly sins sounds like a good but simple way of structuring them. It provides a good base, but the concept behind the sins, at least a few of them, are actually kind of generic. Like, wrath and greed seem to be universal to the nature of the game. Without having been told that Mr. Kung Fu represented wrath, I would have never figured out he was supposed to be representative of the specific sin of wrath. Of course this depends on how more evident the traits are in later bosses. Though, I'm a little upset that the doctor wasn't greedy to not die.

The psychopath deaths are getting more and more absurd, which I guess is a good thing. I hadn't quite clued into the Seven Deadly Sins angle, but I guess we've only seen two psychopaths from that set so far.

My first time through the game, I didn't catch the deadly sins thing either, I saw it mentioned somewhere online and then it clicked. That being said, some of the ones we haven't seen yet are waaaayyyy more obvious than the two we have seen.

The best part about the massager is that it has the toys icon. Ya know, the same icon that the teddy bears and such have. The gay zed porn looks like it's a setup for something else.

The fun thing with terms of venery (AKA collective nouns) is that there's not really "official" ones. The correct terms are simply whatever you can convince the general populace to use, so if you like something, just start using it and hope that it catches on.  That being said, I'm partial to a murder of grenade launchers, or an explosion of grenade launchers.

Stock sound effects probably, Capcom is very fond of reusing things like this in Dead Rising.

The people of Los Perdidos are amazingly self-destructive. I'm surprised the zombies didn't break through the one-way mirror when you were just out of reach.

The ones in Dead Rising 2 sure did, it was another early weapon you could aquire as well, since the Bow and Dynamite needed could be found outside the Saferoom again in Royal Flush Plaza, along with the gamebreaking Knife Gloves and the Defiler.

Probably to save resources or something. seaborgium posted:And I forgot to ask after the last video, when did you get the blue prints for the fire staff? I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but it seemed like it came out of nowhere. We grabbed it on top of the roof near that one safehouse. Right after fighting the crazy doctor.

Oh poo poo, I didn't even realize there was a trailer. Gonna have to look that up.
