No, one of the doctors was only your girlfriend if you chose to save your girlfriend, who was a fake.

If you saved the doctors, all of the doctors were real, and the girlfriend that died was your real girlfriend.

She's clearly nervous and needs some backup.

so far it saved 2 or 3 seconds when waiting for dialog to end so she could open a door, wouldn't be surprised if that happens a few other times during the run

Infamous came hot on the heels of the "Moral Choices In Videogames" trend.

It was, perhaps, not the best executor of that trend.

Yeah, the choice was set up so that your girlfriend always died, which is one of those weird video-game exclusive things to narratively make you feel like an rear end in a top hat no matter what you chose

He's still around. The ROI of scripted and edited videos does not compare to just streaming on twitch and occasionally posting highlights. So he still posts some stuff but not the original high-effort poo poo.

Recently he was banned from Twitter for being, like, alt-right-adjacent-adjacent.

It's called a magician's choice and it's been around forever. It is pretty lazy in video game narratives, though, since if you want a narrative outcome then just force it instead of jerking the player around.

Also the twist at the end of the first game was almost violently stupid and the payoff in the sequel was even better too because a) it didn't pay off and b) the main character looked like a completely different human being which is sort of important to the whole plot of the first game

Billion dollar Vinyl confirmed

A bit late, but I collect VGM vinyl and the Splatoon 2 picture disc is actually pretty goddamned rare. I've been searching high and low for it since I saw a pic last summer and I'd estimate there to be less than ten total copies--it would realistically sell for between $1,000-2,000. Generally, pressings start at about 100 units but there were two VGM picture discs (Splatoon 2 and Agents of Mayhem) that each had less than 20 units pressed total because Nintendo and Koch have too much money apparently. AoM bombed and that disc can be bought for about $300, but no one has publicly sold the S2 vinyl yet.

If I remember correctly, this is a series that started back when games were trying to make a big thing about MORAL CHOICES. The game basically had you resolve every problem in one of two ways. One way made you a hero, the other a villain (or anti-hero whatever). The idea is that you will be either famous or infamous, hence the stupid title.

I mean, yeah, I don't wanna downplay what she's doing and how awesome she is at the game but there's really not THAT many people sitting back there and it's not like they have a live viewer count and twitch chat up for the runners (I don't think?) so it shouldn't be THAT much of a bother. Easier said than done I realize, but it's not like she's got a packed hall behind her
