Holy gently caress, what is wrong with all the models in the stealth section? Every other model looks passable, but then those children and soldiers are suddenly weird abominations?

And those soldiers threaten to shoot children they know live on base by holding the butt of their rifle to their ear and pointing it to the side?!

Okay, wow I've actually watched the video now and holy poo poo that sparring match was nuts. I can't believe this loving Matrix/MGS/GOD HAND poo poo they're pulling in it was just them keeping in shape.

Also why is it that most games with gyms in them at this time decided that making it hard to do a modest workout reflected well in any way? Pressing X 53 times to do ten reps doesn't reflect too well on my character's strength IMO.

Also the smash cut from -20 psyche to Lucas at home gearing up to death sprint off his balcony was hilarious. The idea of him running home to mope in his chair was just mmm :discourse:

Usually, I'm not one to go 'But why don't they just' during a game but this one you really should've been able to just shout in the hangar that there's a fire and everyone needs to get out instead of talking to everyone one by one. The one that I'll give to the game is that he was a kid at the time so not making the smartest decisions at the time is fine but if Lucas were smarter the best play would've been to tell the guard that something fell on the kids in the hangar instead of leading with the unbelievable truth of imminent fire & explosion.

No not even that (But thank you though, that was a wonderful blast from the past) I want Tyler to do the exact same rigamarole as Lucas but the game's so poo poo that it's like their models swap out and he's in Lucas' apartment instead of in his own and I dunno, drowning himself in his sink or whatever his fail state cutscene is.

What kind of police station stores their files on VHS tapes that are still apparently "disks"?

It's a tape drive. It was a lot cheaper to archive on tape than on external drives until recently and degrades slower. Should be cassettes though, you're right.

The bigger question is why they put all their archive material in a damp sewerage maintenance area.

Well since everyone is busy disrespecting him, I will make the comments.

gently caress's wrong with Lucas to just be walking in on people's homes with no hesitation like that?

I kinda wish that when you'd failed the hypnosis section you'd get arrested by the cops and just fade out of Agatha's apartment and into a jail cell.

Also there was so much awful poo poo happening in the last episode that I totally missed the part where Lucas made this as his next point of action, as overwhelmed by Carla's claustrophobia and the 'faux' racist accent on that bookseller as I was.

Tyler's continued happiness saddens me.
I just have this mental image in my head of Tyler having a mental breakdown right there on the basketball court running off, still in his jersey in the middle of winter driving to his wife's/girlfriend's place of work dragging her out to his car and then taking off for Florida.
"No honey we're going to Florida right now, no we don't have time to go home and pack our things, no we don't have time for me to change we need to go now."

If video games really reflected programmers' idea of art, they'd go for elegant minimalism instead of filling everything with a bunch of baroque Lore.

It'd be impossible even on a fully equipped operating theater with a patient that already has the chest cavity opened and the heart fully exposed.

Unless, of course, this is one of those cases where anything can happen.

You only have two of those, what's the third stab for?

It'd be amazing accuracy and precision if that's the arteries they meant, though.
