I believe the word you are looking for is Canonizing.

Also, look at how they revere Franklin, who was pretty much a drunken poonhound, who is completely at odds with their values.

A drunken poonhound, yes. But also a really really really really loving smart drunken poonhound.
Besides this game takes place in like 1920 or something right? And a lot of those historical factoids about how Washington was sort of meh as a military leader, and how Franklin was more charismatic than scientific, or how Jefferson who would have been against pretty much EVERYTHING they stand for- is something not a lot of people would know unless they were historians during that time. Hell unless you've been to college, most people actually don't know that in this day and age either.

I've been waiting for this pain. Seriously is it not the absolute best move in this entire game?

Also Wei has the absolute best fast-talk I've ever seen, that guy is amazingly smooth and he gets even smoother later on.

It is some of the best fast-talking I've ever seen in the genre. Cool as ice, Wei is.

That leg-cracker move…drat. I don't know if a martial arts teacher would teach you that unless he intended you to go out and cripple people for real. That's no sparring move.

I think the only martial art I can think of that would teach you that move is Krav Maga. Every other martial art is all about self-defence and protecting others, whereas Krav Maga is like "I will loving kill you before you even blink."

Seriously though Leg Break is the best move in the entire game, and soon you can get a fantastic follow-up to that move which works on stunned opponents for an instant K.O! By that point the only problem you'll have are against Grapplers who of course are ungrapplable.

COP.

Some video problems early on, but they sort themselves out after the race. Travis got a new computer between recording this and us commentating it, so recording footage is a dream for him now. Bioshock Infinite returns next week as well.

I decide early on in this video that this is my new favourite LP of ours. You'll see why.

This was the part of the game that starts making me really distrust Pendrew.

I really do not like Pendrew. I wasn't sure of him before but now I really do not trust him. I haven't even played through this game halfway so I gotta wonder what this all leads to.
Also, any playthrough of this game by anyone is amazing, so when YOU guys play it, it's loving incredible.

Honestly though, I do love this tutorial idea a lot, it's like CSI-meets-Mass Effect's gunplay and I found it really rad in how it sets itself up.

Oh yes I forgot to mention, it's the same microphone but we always record the skype call itself. However my setup got hosed when I upgraded to Windows 7, so I tried recording with Audacity, which was always treacherous with my old setup. It worked out well so we're going to try that fully later.

Also I'm quiet, not the mic. Believe me, I pushed the volume in my editor to as far as I'm willing to let it go.

I believe there are some in Turkey too, I saw a video of some sweet ice cream stands down at Istanbul, that's so awesome. Ice cream is perfect for every meal of the day after all.

The subtitles for dialogue are for the hard of hearing. The subtitles on the videophones are for the stupid. Thanks for putting those on by the way, really appreciate it even if I know the game well enough by now.

Now I'm super curious as to what enemy is super-weak to crows. Speaking of which, here's a video for why crows are awesome. When you're intelligent enough to have fun for no discernible reason, you know you've got it made as a species.

Also, the music that plays as her theme is one of my favourite themes of gaming recently.

Finally watched the Sleepy Dogs videos after having this thread open in a tab for months, I love the way you edit together the driving segments.

Also if I remember correctly the chandelier prompt ends up with the goon being used to pull the lever on the balcony, which somehow ends up with the chandelier swinging down and impaling them? I can't remember, it's been years since I played.
