YOU DANDY gently caress The Men's Hair Club is pretty great, particularly their music. There's so many dumb little details crammed everywhere that I like. The completely random Mario and Luigi by the stripper, the guy on top of the car flipping you off as it speeds off, the guy by the barrel bros getting really pissed after he finds out there was nothing but a chicken at the top of the hill. And poor Widdly's fate. Speaking of barrel bros, them and other overworld enemies are weird. If you beat them, you can still move around while the game is despawning their sprite/fading to black, which can get confusing if you're holding a button after you win and find yourself teleported a couple steps ahead. Crack Ripper's gang is really rough. It's one of the rare ambushes in the game that really feels like such a severe disadvantage. Sure the guy on the far left doesn't do much but the other four compensate with so much damage and stuns, it's kinda crazy there's not much fights like that. Also I really like their music. It's called Steel Mill, which is appropriate given the main beat sound like someone hitting metal. Still, it's such an odd style, I'm not even sure what'd I'd classify it as.

Men's Hair Club is one of my favorite tracks in the game, definitely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjFr_vW8kwc Well if you enjoyed that episode, the next will probably blow you away. Should be out in a few days.

So people who have played this game, how different is this run from an average first time run of the game so far?

I'm going to regret bringing this up, but the two guys wearing red and green hats who were watching the dude in the red thong shake his moneymaker remind me of Mario and Luigi. Red Hat's monologue even sounds like the most hateful, no good, mean cynical take on Mario's deal with Peach, too.

He hasn't fallen off nearly enough ledges for a true first-timer's experience. And most people tend to grind on the snakes and the shadow guys, but other than that, yeah, not too far off.

What I've found is that if you're as prone to getting lost and retreading your path as I am, you'll likely find enough goods and party members to keep you going. You can also reload your last save if you make a bad call and try something else, but my frequent saving blew up in my face in one major way which I'll leave unspoiled until voiceofdog covers it. Game mostly gets easier from this point imo, and you can make it easier still if you're willing to be a coldhearted son-of-a-bitch. Lotta party members in this game... human life is cheap, man.

You missed a little detail. If the check the corpse with the spiked club in it there's a note or something that says "son of Mad Dog."

Honestly, with how much the enemies in this game dump damage on you, it seems like you ought to be leading with status effects every fight. Not the sort of game where you want to be damage racing people, since healing is such a risky prospect.

Also, here's what a few of the status ailments do. STINKY increases your evasion by 10%. It doesn't affect who gets targeted. CRYING decreases your damage (not accuracy) by 50%. WEIRD decreases attack by 20% and defense by 30%. DEPRESSION decreases attack by 20%, defense by 70%, and agility by 30%.

I think the hair is some bizarre necromancy demon summed whenever the hair club unites, i mean hair is just dead cells right? Just get some animal fat(who's using jell in this apocalypse) and a couple of friends with manes and bam, powers of a necromancy hair devil is growing out of your scalp.

It's not just a "Children of Men" type scenario here, either, it's like Olathe is home to only the stupidest, most toxic forms of masculinity. Vern couldn't stop verbally dumping on his wife even as he kept saying he missed her.

You gotta love Nern Guan. Throughout every battle he just sits back on his little stool and chats with his fellow gang members about their techniques, and occasionally takes a potshot with his revolver if he feels like it.

Not the sort of game where you want to be damage racing people, since healing is such a risky prospect. The gang that jumps you and tries to take your mags is absolutely showing you the hard way how you should play the game: lay on as many status effects as you can, prioritizing effects that stop them from acting and then ones that severely hinder their damage/defense.

So the guy that Brad tried to buy drugs from in the flashback was actually the huge twisted mutant we fought? gently caress, we should probably stop doing drugs then.

I can't say I'm a big fan of Fardy's entire character. I understand the game's tone, but I'm still uncomfortable about how he's presented. I don't know. Also: Steel Blackman? More like Steve.

Burned through this lp yesterday, in the midst of the hangover to end all hangovers, pausing occasionally to heave into a bucket. I was able to keep water down after watching all 5 videos. Seems appropriate. Thanks LISA. Thanks thevoiceofdog.
