It's nice to see a horrific abomination of science created for a villainous purpose find a positive outlet for his pre-programmed dispositions.

I like to believe that Agent 47 just really likes the stability and pay rate of being an assassin. Great benefits, travel the world, and all you have to do is clumsily sneak around various locations and kill (mostly) bad people.

Not the best cover of "Danger! High Voltage" I've heard, but it was pretty good.

I'm a bit late, but I just caught up and wanted to point out a detail I noticed from the Marrakesh launch trailer. Agent 47 is wearing a repairman outfit and the back of the shirt says "A. Alhazred's Electronic Service". In the rare case anyone's unfamiliar, Abdul Alhazred is the "mad Arab" who wrote the Necronomicon, in Lovecraftian lore.

15 - Intervention

This is a little late because I spent basically all of yesterday on a plane. Related, this LP will take a short hiatus for 3-4 weeks while I'm away because I spent most of my free time editing for my NieR LP instead and also because I hate the next map. Also I'm an idiot who forgot to upload the video thumbnail to my host so this text link will have to do. Unfortunately, because I'm going to be away, I'll have to miss the upcoming ET, but Jobbo should have that covered at least, so look forward to that.

That would have been amazing. Or hiding a canister of propane and propane accessories inside of it.

There's a propane tank right there, and they do light the candles for him to blow out... The option is there.

(note: never tried it myself, but there are a surprising number of triggers for propane tanks that i didn't think they'd model)

Does Jordon have a list of random responses to tasting the cake? If so, nice job getting the line about dates during the poisoning.

For a guy who doesn't talk much, 47 makes a pretty good impression whenever he decides to speak.

So.... despite getting so pissy about Ken being there, and his whole spiel about his father keeping an eye on him yadda yadda yadda...

Jordan's very first action after accidentally doing the thing, is to call crying to Daddy to fix his mistakes again.

"It happened again."

I've only ever seen the two; subdued for poisoning and angry otherwise.

I suspect part of why he gets so pissy over his father's influence dominating his existence is because he knows it's true and just doesn't want to accept it until he's desperate.

The whole point of his character seems to be that he's a privileged, troubled brat who has never actually faced any kind of consequences for the things he's done, which has only made his issues worse because they aren't treated, just enabled and accomodated. I mean, right after listening to a tape of his girlfriend being murdered he tells 47 'I made a stupid mistake! I shouldn't die for it!'. You know, the thing he did to someone else for much less.

Finally got caught up on this, and dear Lord. I wouldn't have thought of three quarters of the poo poo you can get up to in this game - I think my first response to each map would be to get a sniper rifle and try to eliminate the targets that way.

Some of these are just mean. Funny, but mean.

Great LP, Chaos.

It's worth noting that on the PS Store, the 66% is only for Plus members. It's still on discount otherwise, but only about 25 or 30%.
