Episode 8: "Poirot is a terrible person"

Cats are fine with time travel, right? And sitting in inventories? I'm sure it's fine.

You will not besmirch the name of Australian Prime Meownister Fuzzlewumps. He was a great leader when Australia became a country in 1901 :colbert:.

Episode 11: "At least I'm being honest"

According to Dan and Grace, if Jesus was a girl he'd be a lonely lesbian with cats. Or something.

I played this game as a teenager, and my best friend and I knew it was sort of boring and stupid, but it had a weirdly unique premise.

Coming into the LP knowing this has made it so much more entertaining. Your commentary has had me crying with laughter more than once. Funniest LP I've seen in a long time!

Now I'm sad I passed up buying the JP version of this one for $20 a couple weeks ago. :sigh: I should see if it's still available.

Bumblefuck your way through time and hope everything works out as Ike's legs seem longer the longer the LP goes on.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I think the idea behind the creation of Homunculous was that the alchemist was trying to create life, expecting maybe to have a fake person to raise and teach about the world - a blank slate who was newly born, an actual new life. For the Homunculous to work more like a genie was the weird part - he wound up with a full-grown un-person who was a total rear end in a top hat. He didn't "create" anything, he just gave a body to it.

It's kind of amazing how Homunculus's rear end in a top hat plan is still a net positive to those involved even when he fucks it up.

Thread title is on point.

Faster than the others



Just because he's not good doesn't mean he has to be evil. It's best for everyone if everyone comes out of your evil self-serving rear end in a top hat plan ahead; it means nobody's going to come after you looking for revenge, and according to Homunculus, he's not very good at physical combat. Handing out time machines to jerks who are about to die due to predestination paradoxes involving said time machine seems more his speed.

You have to establish a brand for yourself, and apparently, this is what Homunculus decided on.

Getting shitfaced after a time travel adventure is the most realistic ending :colbert: I mean, the MOST realistic ending is the protagonist realizing they have a down to the second timer of when they die, so they just turn around a second earlier. But you know, Eike. Normally I wouldn't expect the dude to drink anything harder than a mikshake.

Satan is trying his best, okay?

"Hey, sorry about turning you into the existential :downs: that is Eike. Here's a digipad to keep your own son from killing you so I can be born and turn you into Eike. No hard feelings?"

Final ending being Homunculus getting his rear end kicked by a baby too good for this sinful world.

I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.
This game is so dumb. I remember my dad rented a PS2 for a weekend, along with this game and Twisted Metal Black, but it didn't come with a memory card so we just had to play the opening over and over. Eventually I got the PC version, and beat it.

Look Grace, the vows say "In sickness and in health" so Eike is in the clear.

While most of the game's timeline is consistent, there's actually a major loose thread that unravels with the EX Endings; The baby-swapping. Maragrete should've suddenly turned into Dana.

Maybe she did and we can't tell because either:
a) it doesn't happen until after Eike fades out, so we don't see it, or
b) sepia

As far as time periods to live in go 1580's Germany is far from the worst. There wasn't a whole lot of religious strife between 1555 and 1618, especially compared to France, England, and the Netherlands. And most of the fighting against the Ottomans was done in Hungary.
