Don't post Small Dash!
inFamous 2 is Zeke's redemption arc. He was a huge tool in the first game. Massive. Size of a Chrysler building.

The main point of Zeke in iF2 is that he knows he hosed up big time, and he knows Cole is doing him a big favor just by continuing to associate with him. He's also starting to realize that there are a lot of things Cole can't do by himself, mainly anything involving the creation/maintenance of electronics or anything involving an active circuit. So he can be useful without killing a few thousand people in an attempt to get superpowers.

You don't need to spoil that, it was in this game's intro.

Small update: Jazz and I recorded the 3rd episode last week, but my audio got corrupted so I had to scrap what we had. We're planning on starting to record in bulk so we can release videos more regularly (weekly, I hope).

So, sorry about the long wait! We're not abandoning the LP; we've just had bad luck with scheduling and recording lately.

Bad Karma 3

Flavor Text 2

We don't have a backlog of videos to do weekly releases yet, but the next time we release a video will start off the weekly release schedule.

Well yeah evidently but it was weird kid pulling legs off a spider kind of fun. Like it's dead, dude, leave it alone

So if Wolfe was at the house, what did Zeke find? Is that the bad karma mission or something?

It burns when I LP
In the evil karma video, I like how right after telling Cole not to be a dick, and then he kills the civvie for the shard anyway, she calls him two seconds after it with the most disinterested sounding intro ever, like calling up an exboyfriend or something. "Hey.. Cole... so what're you doing..?"

Oh and thanks for the added effort of putting the pigeons in a separate video.

I did a really dumb thing and lost my save data, so today at 5:30 ET on my twitch channel I'm going to be streaming the game from the beginning, at least up to where I was. So if you're weird and want to see the same content twice, come watch!

If it doesn't take too long to catch up I'll also be recording some footage for future videos for me and Jazz to commentate over.

I asked Jazz if he was free to join me on the stream for commentary (I'm going to upload it to YouTube afterwards), but I haven't heard back from him yet, so anybody is free to join me on Skype to chat while I do this tonight. If you're interested in that, my Skype name is commoncoder.

Edit: Stream is over! It only took me an hour to catch up, which is pretty embarrassing since I started this LP three months ago.

I do kinda wish they'd just gone with the real Confederate flag, but I understand why they didn't. But then, even if it did throw up a shitstorm, all publicity is good publicity, right?

Also, the Ravager being a sad dude was hilarious the whole way through, don't believe that Crane Fist guy. He's crazy. Obviously.

Oh sweet, this is one of my favourite games; it could have just been good but they made it great, though I will complain that there are two characters that are only good on one karmic path, mutually exclusive from one another. Otherwise, the writing and characterization are really sharp, miles and miles ahead of the unlikeable and insane assholes and over-elaborate offscrean conspiracies of the first game (fun as it was). My one complaint is that your basic lightning bolt is way less punchy than the first game, but that's pretty nitpicky. That and they overuse the heavy enemies, which depending on your karmic path some of them are a complete pain.

I apologize for the lack of updates, its mostly my fault. A lot of stuff went down at the same time. We should be recording some more later this week/weekend.

For the next two videos we're going to be tackling side missions.
Side missions are a little different: commentary isn't going to be focused totally on the game (because we're bad at that when there's no story going on). Also thhere is only one version; no COC and non-COC.

Anyways, sorry it took so long! The second side mission video will be out next week along with the dead drops.

So does that "you killed my mother PREPARE TO DIE" woman say something different depending on your previous game's save, or were you always Cole the Destroyer?

Also, whiteface will start being problematic about the time Hollywood starts casting white people exclusively as clowns and/or mimes.

Well, this run-through ins't using my inFAMOUS 1 game save so I'm willing to bet she says the same thing every time.

Battler, the literal stupidest man on earth. Why are you even here, Battler, why did you come back to this place so you could fuck literally everything up?
Plus, Cole being good or evil before doesn't really come into it in that instance, as no matter what, Cole is blamed for the city being blown to hell at the beginning. It's kinda the catalyst for the entire plot.

It has to do with the "Food" choice from the beginning of inFamous 1. With an Evil choice it will be the same as it was in this video. With the Good choice (share the food with everyone) she thanks you, gives you a kiss on the cheek and then the mission ends

Brilliant reasoning on why it seemed familiar.

It was a bad joke, but it seemed familiar because we had done the barrel destroying mini-game(?) in the swamp. inFAMOUS 2 doesn't have a wide range of mini games. From what I remember, there's going to be a lot of those supercharging and destroy the barrel ones.
