Among the horde of disappointments in this game (looking at you, developers, not VB or Kamoc), there's one I am surprised no one has mentioned.

We have yet to see any souls being robbed, despite Jack's cries to the opposite. Yeah, I admit hearing him call out "GIANT VERSION OF THE STICKY HAND THING YOU GET OUT OF GROCERY STORE CAPSULE MACHINES" doesn't scan as well, but, seriously, "SOUL ROBBER"? There's no souls and no robberies.

Disappointing.

Heh, that's funny, though in Ooogie's case its really Nanobugs, son. And that is going to show up, in a big way as soon as we get to the final.

Haha, yeah sorry, I went on a small hiatus there. Vacation happened, then work started up very soon after that, so things got a little in the way for a bit there. I apparently have this week off from work though, so the last episode should be up this week, goodness willing! Sorry for the silly-rear end delay and thanks for putting up with it!

Look we understand the need to vacation from a game. And if you are willing to assault your sanity over and over for our amusement, then we owe you a break now and then.

So, how was vacation?

PT has nothing to do with the story of Silent Hills, so says some disclaimers in PT.

Well, it IS Silent Hill, so...

What? The Evil Within has nothing to do with the Silent Hill franchise, though...?

Yeah, me and Bob are gonna do some cool stuff, I think!

What?

Sorry if this is late, but I was talking about whether or not you thought the game would be too much action moviey or didn't care for RE at all because Shinji Mikami was bringing his RE4 experience. Well that was before I actually saw how this could get legit scary in the Beth streams. As for the the other confusing part, I don't think any Silent Hill alumni was involved in Evil Within, but I was talking about a shared sense of horror revivalism along with Kojima Hill.

Ugh, might as well at this point :sigh: This LP has pretty much been mirroring my life during the course of making this LP. It started out pretty optimistically, got BAD fast, had a very long, agonizing middle-to-end bit, and now I feel dead inside and I'm looking forward to doing anything but this. The curse is real.

Edit: ALSO my Blip account finally got hit by the LP purge, so all the Blip links that have ever existed from me are dead, lol. Since I couldn't edit with broken headphones, I spent my day reuploading and rejiggering all the links to send to baldurk to fix in the archive instead~. I haven't gotten to the Oogie ones yet (and I have to re-do all the images in the OP now because of this too, oh dang.)

Poor Oogie. He just wanted people to celebrate Bug Day again, to feel loved and important again. But noooooo, we just couldn't have that could we, Jack? Is it any wonder why Oogie felt that the only way he could get any recognition was by becoming the All Holidays King?
