I am enjoying this LP but I just want to say that your Wonderful 101 LP is something my kids routinely ask for and still love immensely. I have a playlist set up and they'll put it on as like Saturday morning cartoons sometimes. My son just asked for it out of the blue today, even!

I'm convinced that if The Wonderful 101 was conceived earlier it'd be a 4Kids dubbed anime on Fox Kids. Episode 11: Rufus

When I think of this game, the sound effect that rings in my head is "Look out, Miss Jade! Looters!" because I had to do that last race over and over and over before I finally beat it.

The floating menu screens  There are so many places they could have put those where they wouldn't be visible, including the inside of literally any building model or anywhere underwater, and they decided to put them somewhere they can be plainly seen on the way to one of the mandatory dungeons. I'm genuinely amazed.

During that segment of "Look at the floating menu screens!" it took me until they were driving away that the weird noise you hear in the background was a part of the music, not Ironicus semi-silently hyperventilating with laughter.

What I'm finding baffling is why even put them out there, because that'd require the game to load the entire overworld map each time the player enters the menu. And since I don't think there's any big loading pauses whenever chip enters the menu, I'd think it's more likely they were left over during development or something.

Half-Life 2 does the same thing, but it's a lot less obvious. All the scenes you see on screens are actually partially constructed rooms hidden elsewhere in the level, so a screen is actually showing a virtual camera view from another room. These rooms are hidden behind scenery and far away from the player so even the sound won't leak over from them.

I've always wanted to try to get out of bounds and jump the hovercraft in front of those menus and see if it pops up in the pause screen, but unfortunately the screens float too high above the ocean. Also, let's find out which Dragonball Z character Jade's voice actress played! There's no cut commentary for this episode, by the way.  Episode 12: Big Green

I remember way back when you streamed Indigo Prophecy you guys mentioned the fact that Jade's voice actress also played that old lady Agatha. Plus, Pey'j's voice actor was Lucas in that game, too.

Steve McQueen never records an episode of Steve McQueen's Zine Scene without wearing his denim pants. I think he mentioned that somewhere between episode 12 and episode 20.

The secret twist of Beyond Good and Evil 2 is that Carlson Peters is actually just a single person, and he put the & in there to give his book more credibility.

It's almost endearing how enthusiastic Double H is about Carlson & Peters. He's like a little kid, bringing it up whenever he possibly can, but you know in a week or two he'll have found a new book and some new heroes to run around imitating.

It's kind of neat in that it implies a lot about his backstory. He's clearly former military in some fashion who quit/was discharged/was replaced by the Alpha Sections or something before/after he sniffed a rat and joined up with IRIS. It's kind of neat how he isn't really interested in explaining his past, he's just here to help others. BG&E is really great with that. Everyone really feels like they have a history, even if you don't find it out.

Dabir posted:Alright but at what point were we supposed to know that? It's not 100% relevant, so the game doesn't feel the need to explain it in detail; it's just something you can infer from what he says about it. Not everything in a story needs to be explicitly laid out, and BG&E isn't the type of game to have ten thousand codex entries on the minutiae of the world outside the Jade-vs-the-DomZ story. Interestingly, the Carlson & Peeters thing also gives us more intriguing questions about Jade's past, since she knows quite a lot about this mysterious military book as well. Once again, they don't elaborate on it, but they don't really need to.
