He's gonna SOLVE this. He's the right combo weapon of stupidity and foolhardiness to really stick it to Phenotransbrella Corporation.

I hope this ends with him getting twisty on nectar and turning into Waspzilla, stomping LA into powder in his battle with Phenotron.

But he is interested in Lilly/Lisa the blond illegal gal from the diner and that group of illegals. Which is where he's heading to now.

I would place a bet on how alive/well they are but I don't think anyone would take it considering how Nick's luck is going at the moment.

So the mystic script says.
So first off, I actually really love the idea they used for Envy being just somebody that is so mad at YOU specifically for being much better at this whole "hero" saving thing than them, that's a really neat idea.

Secondly, I loving love the boss theme of this, this is my absolute favourite song from this game next to Gluttony's theme because it's surprisingly aggressive considering...who it is. Then again that might be fitting for someone trying to make a whole lot of noise. I never knew that cool thing about him actually trying to defend the hostage though, that's a really nice detail and I appreciate the developers putting that in to be consistent.

The story is still very Halo4-esque, and it doesn't match with their advertising campaign at all. But the multiplayer is really good, like halo 2 with a lot more speed and mobility. I'm enjoying it.

When you were showing off the boom bear, you stood in front of it and it had a wrench icon on it. Can you fix those? Or like reload them or something?

I think that's just the icon for combo weapons, or maybe stuff you can put in combos since boom bear is part of one.

He has seemed sketchy since day one, but the whole ending thing there felt half-assed... What did he get out of sending you out on all those missions? Then after all that bullshit, it's just like "whatever, later.".

In an attempt to figure out if Jamie was voiced by Scott McNeil (which I'm fairly certain he is), I accidentally spoiled myself on how this mission turns out. Personally, I hope Jamie makes it to Rio, only to find there's nothing but zombies everywhere.

I'd change the name from "prunes" to "pocket plums". Just get a cartoon plum chilling out in someone's pocket, or in a box with a cute design on it. That, or really emphasize the French aspect of the prune, since Wikipedia says the US primarily grows the "improved French plum". Just do some hoity-toity poo poo with like, dried plums in a crystal dish with a lot of soft lighting and someone narrating how delicious and bold eating dried plums is. Maybe even throw in a slow-motion shot of prune juice being poured into a glass.

If you're trying to monetize prunes, just watch the end of Trading Places. I'm sure you guys could pull off the scheme at the end of that. All you'll need is a hooker with a heart of gold and access to this years prune crop report.

So, if you concentrated on gaining PP, you could reach level 50 in like 3 or so hours?

Since you finally did an XP/leveling up episode, are you going to cover the 'Combo Categories' upgrades at some point? I assume you don't use them because of the safe house lockers, but they were my favourite upgrades when I was bumming around the game testing things. I also think the way they work, and the combo weapon system in general, is fairly elegant in how it all comes together.

You kinda have to keep in mind that at this point in the game I have a bunch of things helping me out. Upgrades that increase PP, ammo count, weapon damage, and combo time, plus increased number of special zombies that give more PP and zombie density in general. It does make me want to do an experiment where I start from scratch and with nothing but a bunch of split shots see how possible it is to rush level up.

I definitely want to show it off at some point. I actually remember thinking about why the system works the way it does and once I realized it, it's such a well designed feature. I've been kind of waiting for a good time to pop up for me to do it and it just hasn't happened. I almost showed it off when I was making all those bears, to replace the wheelchair, but it seems that super combos are excepted. At the moment it's grouped up in the "Stuff I Missed" video, which I know is kind of weak, but I'm not sure it's enough for its own video. We will see.

Frenzy, have you seen Dead Rising: Watchtower? It's a live action movie that's in canon with the games, and actually serves as a prequel to bridge the gap between Dead Rising 2 and 3. At first glance, it seems like another of the generic low budget zombie films that are a dime a dozen nowadays, but honestly, it captures the feeling of Dead Rising really well - Frank West is in it (but not played by his original voice actor)!

It's nothing amazing, but it's fun, and its cool they made a tie-in movie, rather than a comic or something.

Yeah it was brought up at some point in the thread. It's a very cool tie-in showing a more minor outbreak and what accompanies that in the Dead Rising universe. I remember not liking the Frank West stuff. It's obvious comic relief, but I remember some of it seeming really forced. All the zombie killing, combo weapon making, and conspiracy stuff is really good though, and there's a long panning shot in the middle that's particularly impressive. Now that I'm thinking about it, does that make Dead Rising 3 the only DR thing that doesn't involve a journalist as one of the main characters?

Also, we're recording commentary today so there should be a video this week.
