 We dive deeper into the cooler than we have before and find a computer that can tell us a little about what was going on when everyone was evacuated into CA-1. And then we press on into The Generators where new and tougher enemies await us, including the long aforementioned but kind of unseen S.O.B. Also I make two Mojitos, and in hindsight I'd like to say use way more ice per glass. That's really a purely aesthetic thing, but A Mojito is only about 4 or 4.5 ounces of drink and pouring it into a highball glass that holds 8-10 ounces didn't look very good in the recording. Secondly, I'd really suggest lemon lime soda as the float. Mojito #2 got an extra dash of simple syrup and it was way, way better than Mojito #1. Still, both were tasty and it's the first time I've tried making Mojitos at home where I don't have a real workspace to make drinks.

If you're taking requests, Jade Star, maybe I suggest the Earl Grey MarTEAni? It requires making a tea-infused gin, but it tastes bloody amazing!

As for the Fallout Super Mutants, they were made by the The Master using the Forced Evolutionary Virus as I recall it. The master wanting an army to conquer the wasteland with. One of the FO1 bad endings is getting dunked in FEV and becoming one. Han Solo's blaster was based of the Mauser C96. So you were pretty close. A Luger is however used for the base of Jyn Erso's blaster in Rogue One. The Mandalorians is based on something as wild as a Bergmann 1894 No. 1 semi-automatic pistol.

I doubt everyone will play through it 4 times like I have, but for $1.29 everyone should buy it and give it a go. It costs less than the cheapest shot at a bar.

 Hey guys! Power went out yesterday so my apologies on not getting that double update over the weekend but here we are, we made it, everyone has power at their home again and hopefully everyone has some booze at home too. This is our first courier run. Courier runs play by different rules than the normal coolers. They are most definitely out to get you and death is assured. Try to grab some nice loot before death finds you, shove it in a courier box and then hold out for as long as you can. Or want. I haven't actually done a lot of courier runs before this LP and in the sake of keeping them short and sweet I didn't want to extend the run through 5+ floors of me running for my life just to run up the high score. The really deep floors get incredibly unfair and actually fighting your way through becomes a losing proposition past floor 11 or so. In any case the courier runs are fun and great for giving floors random modifiers like piles of traps, turning the lights out, or maybe just setting the purifier timer to 15 seconds and telling you to go F yourself. Also any enemy type from any of the 4 coolers can show up in a courier run so we're going to see a few new people in there. As well as the CHIMPS, which are presumably the remains of the CHP (California Highway Patrol, traffic cops for anyone not familiar). The Chimps have a couple unique sets of armor and their armor is probably the best thing to try to bring out of a courier run if you don't already have some available to your waster.

Yeah, the CHIMPS Brutality gear is incredibly solid, not only does it make you faster, it gives you armor as well. It's a nice set to wear if you like going * very fast*. (like me!)

Is there any point in the TP in the courier levels, or is it just related to points?

I'm not actually sure. Just as a base guess I'd say that like in many other rpg's defeating an enemy rewards you in a set amount of currency and in Wasted they just plugged regular enemies into the courier run, complete with TP drops without considering that there is no way for that TP to get back to your actual character. If it counts towards the runs score or not, no clue.

By the looks of things you can get some pretty decent quality guns from there too. I also didn't see you grab any fannypacks, are there not any of those in the courier runs?

As it turns out, they're not super-common like we'd believe after seeing him pick up six total from one run, they are in fact a bit more rare. Also yeah, the enemies drop a lot more modded weaponry so that's nice, there's a bunch of really good mods to find in there too.

Fanny packs are usually pretty rare, and one of the few good uses for TP at The Maul.

Is it possible to get the "kill a Purifier" achievement from Cursed Courier runs? I am assuming it's not practical, because the impression I get is that you need to be pretty well established with good Hangovers and plenty of good guns to fight a Purifier and you aren't going to be able to build those up in one of these runs, but if you chose the "no Purifiers" option when you started, it's probably less hassle than starting a whole new character.

I think you reached the official point where I gave up. If I recall I picked the toilet thinking it would get rid of one of my bad hangovers, only for it to get rid of one of the good ones instead. At that point I decided I just wasn't having fun and the idea of getting my character killed and having to do multiple runs of the first cooler again made me decide it was a good time to stop. Regardless I am interested to see what happens next and what I was missing out on.

Regardless I am interested to see what happens next and what I was missing out on. I brought this up in earlier videos and I'll bring it up again but WASTED sits in the weird zone where procedurally generated "roguelite" games were becoming big and popular, but lacks the metaprogression (either explicit, like Rogue Legacy, or implicit, in the sense of having a deep constantly improving gear pool that you can use to equip future characters to trivialize earlier zones) that people were coming to expect from roguelites. I'm pretty sure I brought up historical Angband vs modern Angband play strategy at one point because it illustrates the way some people overthink WASTED - Jade's setup is basically good enough for the rest of the game. Asterisk. It is quite possible that this run continues and finishes the game without specifically grinding out coolers at any point - there's quite frankly not really a need to do it, and there's limited ability to substantially improve any aspect of his kit without grinding out runs repeatedly hoping for good booze. Stashing a bit of extra kit here and there to make spinning up your next run faster is good from an efficiency standpoint, but ultimately once you've gotten your basic kit together, repeatedly going into the early coolers, scouring the floors and killing every enemy on them is not only a bad use of your time, it opens you up to additional opportunities to run into the bad situation that gets you killed. And there's frankly better stuff in the later coolers anyways, so you'd want to spend more of your time there anyways. The correct thing to do is not grind out booze and stash gear, it's push progress forward for access to better booze and what better gear exists. Stuff like the daily Courier runs with the unique great armor is nice but by no means mandatory for success.

It's a major logistics interchange as well for anyone in the freight industry; both I-15 (so Vegas) and I-40 (Albuquerque, how I know it) pass through there for California.

 Today we meet a new face at the Ony Express, make a prohibition era cocktail, and trek down to Sandy Crapshow to square off against the Cervezmen. I also make a really old reference that makes Olesh hate me just a little bit more, insert a mspaint dick in the work in progress commentary version of the video, and then misunderstand a reference from a dying robot.

The grapes Olesh alluded to: These were in one of the overworld areas of the latest expansion, and after they became a meme they had a less satisfying model patched in. But never think for a moment the FFXIV devs forget their memes.

 The coolers get a bit more dangerous but I'm well buzzed by the time I arrive at the dormitories. Let's all make a cocktail and reminisce about how long we've known our dear friends, then make some improbable gun modifications and go cooler diving.

 Venturing further into the second cooler we discover more SOB on a mission, a computer belonging to a military general with some startling information about the nuclear war, and Olesh and I probably had too much to drink before this video and I maybe said some things I shouldn't have about Georgia.
