You know, I've never played Going Commando. My experience with 1 was we got it on PS2, and my brother played most of it while I watched. Then we skipped over 2 completely and got Up Your Arsenal. And I just loved it, I loved the Phoenix, I loved the Battlefields, everything feels so bloody alive in this game.

I have good news!

Also the guys that did developer commentary for Up Your Arsenal also did it for Going Commando.

You can buy it on its own on the PSN store, but it's $15 for the one game and $30 for the collection, so you'd be better off buying the collection. You can, however, download each game separately when you buy the collection.

That's probably the smart decision, but I don't know if I see myself playing 1 or 2 much. I do want that discount though. That's such a great Easter Egg. I love any time game developers say "Hey, thanks for buying my stuff."

Going Commando is the third-best game in the series, behind Crack in Time and Up Your Arsenal.

I also played 2 after 3, for whatever reason and that's why I don't think of 2 as that great, since it feels very similar to 3, but just not as good. I do like 2 a lot, but 3 just improves on it in nearly every way.

It's not just having a save file on it. You have to beat the second hoverboard race really late into the game in order to claim the discount. At that point you may as well just beat the game.

Coincidentally, the guy says it takes two years for the discount to kick in. It's been about 2 years since the LP for the first game happened. Weird how things like that turn out.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

"Ah you have to be with the company for 2 years before the employee discount kicks in" Mark talks about it in the Developer commentary, that it was 2 years after having made R&C and he just thought "Why not throw it in there for the people who have it?"

And with that out of the way, UYA is my favorite Ratchet and Clank (I don't have a PS3 so I'm biased towards the ones I've actually played :v:) But mostly I'm posting because I just found out that Lawrence is voiced by Michael Bell, aka Raziel from Soul Reaver. I had no idea.

This LP reminded me that RaC:UYA was a big thing for me a long time ago, so I bought the HD collection so I could play it again, since my original version doesn't work anymore.

Also Duke from the 1980's GI Joe, and Cyclops from the hilariously ridiculous "Pride of the X-Men" one-shot attempt at an animated X-men show for the 80's. Dude has some surprising talent.

Okay so the other two categories are basically a complete no-brainer, but surprisingly the wings are really close. Heavy Ordinance is only two votes shy of being tied with High Lift and only three shy of pulling ahead. If you want Heavy Ordinance wings you only have about two days to make it pull ahead!

Update tomorrow, like usual.

Though Ape was being a Difficult Danny at first so I'm considering his vote null and void.

Even if I didn't I woulda just asked Skippy.

I also still have a very blurry cellphone picture of a glitched out flag. It's attached to a sheep. The flag, not the picture.

I definitely wanna get in on the multiplayer again, but I also go to bed early nowadays, thanks to having a full time job.
