Can we put Engel's head on the pigs body instead. Or the other way around.

I can't tell you how super thrilled I am to have figured out how to efficiently outline text in GIMP after like two years of using it for all these images I post. It wasn't that I couldn't figure it out, it was that I didn't realize I didn't need a plugin and the ones I had tried using in the past didn't want to work with me.

Anyways, short episode this time, we're back to long ones after this because the game throws things at you fast and furious at all times which makes finding natural spots for breaks difficult. I think that is part of the reason people complained that this wasn't a long game (I put in 20 hours on my first play through and did all of the side content), you are sort of hurtled through the experience and so you keep going and keep going. I don't think that is a bad thing at all, especially considering people constantly complain single player games are disappearing and that a lot of the games that are single player tend to be open world titles instead of tightly scripted affairs like Wolfenstein. I think the people who were somehow expecting 50 hours of play time out of this game didn't play TNO, which was about the same length. I actually beat TNO twice in one weekend, then played it twice for the Let's Play. I have as many hours in TNO as I do in TNC right now. I've beaten TNC once and my second playthrough is what you are seeing here. Based on that alone you would think that TNC has TNO beat on game time, but the fact is that I spent a stupid amount of time re-treading areas I had cleared trying to find collectibles, so it isn't quite fair, but still, four full playthroughs vs. one and change.

I love the weird single wraparound wheel motorcycles, by the by. I think they are based on a Nazi design concept that never went to any sort of real production, but we're living in a world with Uber-Concrete and moon bases and massive bridges getting torn apart by levitating balls with spikes in them so why not weird motorcycle things?

I bought the first game because I was like 'Man slide-tackling nazis while firing two automatic shotguns looks rad' and I instead stuck around for 'slide tackling nazis while firing two automatic shotguns while playing as a bunch of believable, if crazy, people stuck in a lovely situation is even better'

Those things does exist in the real world, they're called Monowheels and they're pretty neat since the concept for them has been around for AGES.

Chances are, yes.
The moment I heard the nazis had a base on Venus, I just knew BJ is gonna take the fight there at some point. There's no way he's not.

"BJ has decided to kill you." is one of few situations where "I would not like to be on the same planet anymore." is a perfectly reasonable response.

My God, it's full of cat pictures!

A couple observations:

The monowheel motorcycle would not only be impractical for being mostly wheel, it would also obstruct the forward view of the driver, which might be important to have. It does look cool, I'll grant.

Donkringel posted:

The Nazis may not have known that BJ had a nuke, but they certainly did know that the base was powered by a nuclear reactor, and that it had been compromised. Evacuating ASAP by any means available would be the sensible thing to do, even if it's a rocket ship to Venus.

I haven't commented yet, but I watched your TNO playthrough and am enjoying this one so far. Keep up the good work.

To be fair the reason they were being shot down so easily was because the Allies had such incredible air superiority they could just shoot them down on takeoff and landing, which would have been just as problematic for regular prop planes.

The me 262 was a fantastic design, Hitler just unnecessarily delayed production trying to turn it into some sort of ground attack craft when it was better off as an interceptor.

I grew up near the Dayton Air Force Museum and they have an me-262. Childhood me spent quite a lot of time oogling that jet.
