A face to put behind the name; based on what we had heard earlier (which was pretty much just his name) I had been expecting some stereotypical fat, greasy Russian mobster; not our (admittedly just as stereotypical) Yakuza boss instead. Kinda weird that this world would even have 'organized' crime given that giant corporations control everything and I doubt they have much of a problem doing all the questionable and illegal work themselves. You'd think a company that had the money and influence to build a skyscraper that big would have no problem rounding up Dogan and all his men, then sending them to a food dome where they'd only leave as the food. We could even take it a step further and wonder aloud what the difference between KrugerSec and your typical mafia protection racket is but that's a little too close to teenage edgelord territory. The view from that crane was nice though, should've hung around until the sun set. Bet it would've been quite cyberpunk-y.

Dogen seems... surprisingly okay? Dangerous, but unless you're dumb enough to make a deal with him you can't carry through, probably not a danger to you.

What happens if you just hang out on top of the skyscraper? As soon as you started running around the outside of the skyscraper and on top of that crane, I started feeling sick to my stomach. That's a looooong way to fall.

Zonko_T.M. posted:What happens if you just hang out on top of the skyscraper? If you stick around after the tuned mass damper falls then the building just continues to shake. There's no danger of it collapsing or anything and there's no time limit for getting out. One of the fun things the game does is make the camera start lurching against your control when you get up on the crane. It's hard to get a feel for it without playing because you can't tell what's being controlled and what isn't. Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is that Callaghan Construction was also present in the first Mirror's Edge, same logo and everything. In the first game it was owned by the current mayor of the city, now it's just another corporation.

CJacobs posted:Sci-fi things being named Talos is the new Sci-fi things being named Icarus, these days, it seems. You know, I wonder if the writers who come up with these things are aware of the legends behind the names and if they pick them because they have some deeper meaning, or if they're just using them because they sound cool. Really wouldn't surprise me if it was half and half. And in the case of it being the former, writers really need to stop foreshadowing like a cudgel. If you want to crank it up to 11 we can guess on what's next for Faith after this reboot; maybe she gets her mother's memento and flees Glass, crosses the continent and ends up in the tranquil city of Roanoke which was seemingly untouched by whatever devastated the rest of the country. There she meets the city's well liked but enigmatic mayor know as Lucifer Cain who enlists her to obtain a device code named Pandora's Box. Once she is in possession of the device she must make sure if safely reaches Dr. Hamartia so that they can make sure everyone in the city is "taken care of" for the rest of their lives.

It's been a while, but I think I liked Dogen the most of all the new characters. As for falling, I'm sad they took out the splat (and falling all the way until you hit the ground), but the tumble they added... that really hits me right in the vertigo, so I'd call it a wash on how horrifying the fall is now compared to before.

But even at about 90 pounds for... I'm guessing at top 5'6", you'd have a ridiculously low body fat index. Surely some body fat is useful for cushioning blows...? Although, I readily confess I am no anatomist.

It does always make me laugh that media can only portray Aspergers characters like the way they do this one. At least it's pretty accurate this time.

So you may have noticed that I didn't post a new video yesterday. Turns out we had some technical difficulties while trying to record commentary for the next set of videos. We're working on getting it fixed, but in the meantime I'm not here completely empty-handed. I realized that I've mentioned the news broadcasts a couple times, and decided that it would have been a good idea to somehow include them so you guys can see what I'm talking about. So I've made a couple bonus videos that are just all of the various broadcasts that show up at different points in the game. I've inserted them in what I think are reasonable points in the playlist. XX - TV Broadcasts 01 (polsy) XX - TV Broadcasts 02 (polsy) Not only are they kind of interesting if you're into world-building stuff, but it's fun to notice the consistency errors and the times when the characters animations just break. Cryohazard posted:That must be why most freerunners and parkour enthusiasts in real life have such large amounts of body fat...? Based on what I know from other physical activities, the thing you'd really need to worry about would be impact to your joints rather than any type of body blows. My thoughts would be that you would want as little mass as possible while maintaining just enough muscle to do the things you need to do (eg. pull-ups).

To expand a bit on the conversation around the mid point of the video - not only does KrugerSec know a runner stole the data, they know exactly which runner did it because we grabbed the data right in front of the CEO and Bond Girl after stumbling on to the theft. It's questionable (and I guess irrelevant) whether or not they believe we are connected to Omnistat but considering Faith wasn't wearing a disguise and we were being released from prison that very morning they likely know enough about us to know who our associates are and what circles we hang out in. If I recall correctly someone in the prison also taunted us on the way out saying 'Dogan sends his regards'. I can't really tell if this is a setup from Icarus (who conveniently got himself caught in the McGuffin cage and dragged us away to deal with it), or if Dogan sold us out to tie up loose ends of if KrugerSec has known all about us all along but really didn't give enough of a poo poo to make a move on our organization until we stuck out hands right to the bottom of their cookie jar.

There's a pretty classic setup that I imagine might play out with Dogan and the Reflection data. I imagine whatever Reflection is, it's so nasty that Dogan will discover even his power isn't enough to protect him when the powers that be find out he has the data. He either sells the runners/Faith out to protect himself, or gets completely wrecked when he goes to sell the data, or ends up giving it back to Faith and is like, "loving get rid of this and disappear and pretend you never saw it."
