Might want to double check all videos in the future, because the audio is desynced in this one as well. But in this case it's slightly ahead instead of after, which is less annoying but I figured I might as well mention it.

It annoys me because what I do is I put Speedball and my commentary into its own file. Then, I pull out the audio from the raw video, and line the audio from our commentary up with that, doing sound-level editing in the process. I save that and then reapply the game+commentary audio back onto the video. The game audio never changes its timestamping!

Yeah, audio desync is always a bastard. But it being a scant few seconds ahead doesn't do too much compared to the opposite. Otherwise I figure it happens during the encoding, but can't offer any real help there sadly.

So, I decided to dust off my PS3 and play through PE myself, just to see what else I've missed. First up, Several loot chests throughout the game have randomized loot, in that they spawn one of two weapons; For example, at the start of the Central Park Zoo in Day 2, the chest next to the entrance will either give you an M9 Beretta, or a H&K P8. Day 3's weapon spawns are all fixed, but exploring the gun store and pharmacy is a pixel hunt for loot, so players tend to miss either the M11 SMG or the G19 handgun. (There's more than a few pixel hunts, to the point it was sometimes easier to trigger a fight in an area so you could see the black shadow around the treasure boxes when the camera colours invert) Other things to note in Day 3's Morning; If you swing by the police station and walk into the Kennel, Ben's laying on the ground playing with Sheeva. Aya asks the best dog to take care of Ben, just to twist the knife a little. When Daniel confronts Klamp in the Museum lab, Right before the wall of angry cop hoists the doctor into the air by his lapels, Klamp actually turns off his computer's monitor in a rush, like he's a teenager caught looking at porn. It's a 'blink and you miss it' moment due to the change in camera angles and character actions, but it's yet another moment that really shows how greasy Klamp is.

So you mentioned that the book is anti-organ donation but the thing with Japan is the concept of Kegare (穢れ, lit. uncleanness or defilement), a kind of pollution or impurity in Shinto that can have adverse effects on entire communities with a major source of kegare being anything related to death including corpses and blood as well as illness. It’s to understand that Kegare is not an equivalent of sin as the former is a spontaneous reaction to amoral natural forces rather than a form of moral judgment. Whether the defiling was caused by a deliberate act, such as a crime, or by an external event, such as illness or death, is secondary. Edit: Also the term you meant to use is mutualism as while the term "symbiotic" is colloquially used to refer to mutualistic relationships, strictly speaking, symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two biological organisms of different species, including commensalism and yes even parasitism.

If I can break the kayfabe here there's not a lot of "historical trivia" I can give about a totally fake hospital. Or I'm *really* rusty.

No, the police are real. We have a member of the NYPD in this sub forum! I invited them to commentate, but they declined as they don't have the setup for it. Aya's precinct, the 17th Precinct is actually pretty close to where it is on real life as it is on the world map. The Chrysler Building is the first location clockwise from it, and .... holy poo poo, it's a ten minute walk from one to the other. I'm learning new things about this game! AAAHHHHH!

Excuse me, that's the F-14 Tomcat.  Also it has no relation to either the F-15 Eagle or the F-16 Falcon I should add. However, the real hilarity of that cutscene is the two AV-8B Harriers tagging along. Because of two things; 1. Harriers can't be launched from a standard carrier with a catapult. 2. The harrier can't fly supersonic like the Tomcat cat. And technically the Harrier is a Marine aircraft and not a Navy one.  Also, flying that fast between those buildings would leave a wake of shattered windows behind them. Good thing most of the city has been evacuated because the casualties would be horrendous of all the raining shards. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 01:49 on May 5, 2024 |

MRI machines were indeed much less common back in the 90s. Even American hospitals, which throw money around like water, didn’t (and still don’t) all have MRI scanners. The hospital where I trained lost their radiology department in a massive flood about 8 years ago, and even then it cost a couple million to replace. At least in the region where I practice, even the bigger hospitals only have one scanner, partially for the expense and partially for the massive space requirements. The machines themselves are quite large, but you have to maintain metal free areas all around them of at least 50-100 ft depending on the strength of the magnets used. That said, CT (occasionally referred to as CAT) scanners are smaller, cheaper, far more abundant, and usually much more useful, outside of a couple areas. CT and MRI tech are very different, with MRI scanners using phenomenally powerful magnets to essentially resonate protons in water molecules in the human body, and measuring the vibrations. An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan time is measured in minutes, and can often take 30-45 minutes, or longer, for scans. They tend to be most useful in obtaining high resolution pictures of soft tissues, and are used mostly to image brains (for cancer detection, neurosurgery planning or as a secondary/confirmatory detection of stroke), the spine (for spinal surgery planning), joints (typically just the shoulder or knee, which are surprisingly complex, structurally), examine the pancreas, or occasionally bones to detect early bone infections. CT scanners (Computed Tomography or Computer Aided Tomography), instead, are “simply” conventional X-ray machines that spin the X-ray camera/detector around the patient very rapidly, and along the long axis of the patient. Barring difficulties, most people can hold their breath through the entire scan, and are often asked to do just that. CT scans tend to be somewhat lower resolution (identifying objects down to ~3 mm, instead of an MRI’s ~1mm), and not as good at picking out tendons and the like. They’re often used to map blood vessels (along with a radio-opaque contrast dye injected into the body), find tumors (especially in the lungs and abdomen), identify chest or abdominal pathology (obstructed airways, colon obstructions, gall bladder or liver pathologies, etc), act as a first line stroke detector, or identify hairline fractures that wouldn’t show up on plain X-rays. Of course, this is all an oversimplification, but suffice to say that a couple hospitals where I’ve worked have heavily restricted who can order MRIs, but nobody sweats CT use.

Something I forgot to point out is this... Due to a bug failing to flag the item as taken, you can get as many Trading Cards as you want from this spot, I took this picture on Day 5 during the setup for my Grind. Not that I need them, as the Infinity+1 Guns in the game come with all slots open.

Cooked Auto posted:Excuse me, that's the F-14 Tomcat. except that what's in the cutscene is an F-15 Eagle. It's twin-seat with the big conformal fuel tanks on the sides of the intakes so it's probably an F-15E. So...even more out-of-place on an aircraft carrier.

Oh lo, it is. It almost looks like an F-15 with Navy markings because that roundel is way too brightly coloured. And it's not even doing a catapult launch I now notice.

So, a few things about the hospital; Berry went over the fact that yes, you can electrocute Aya by turning on the power before trying to reconnect the wires; all it does is knock her on her rear end, and doesn't cause damage. The Micro-Uzi found in the basement is, like the P8 in the Zoo, a 'semi-random' weapon, in that there's a chance of a second SMG, the slightly worse in every way Mac-10 replacing the Uzi. Berry also mentioned weapon status effects, and how he wanted tranquilizer rounds on his 'Endgame' weapon. This is because the Three 'Non-elemental' effects Aya can add to her weapons, Acid (Poison), Tranquilizer (Sleep/Paralysis), and Cyanide (massive damage/instant death) do not trigger elemental resistances; If an enemy is resistant to an effect, it simply doesn't take effect, instead of giving an enemy 85% damage resistance. On the topic of weapons, a lot of people playing PE1 on their first run will latch onto the G3 Rifle as soon as possible; It's the third and last rifle available on your first run because all the other 'droppable' rifles are in the bonus dungeon, and it's all-round a solid weapon with its only weakness being fairly poor action economy. Basically, it's a single-shot gun, so each bullet does 100% damage (2X bullet like on Berry's go-to pistol does 66% damage per bullet, for reference), but it has 4 mod slots; 3 open immediately and 1 unlockable with a mod permit. Combined with weapon mods you find on Day 5 Quickdraw on the PPK pistol (Day 5 Warehouse), Burst from the M870 Shotgun (Day 5 Chinatown Sewers), and Double Command from the M9-3 or M8000 Pistols (Night 5 Museum) and whichever status effect tickles your fancy, and it ends up being a reliable hard carry that does a surprisingly large amount of damage per shot. Feed it older weapons as you see fit. Finally, Inside the hospital, in the elevator ride to the roof, there's one thing that was missed; on the floor, to the right of the elevator doors was am empty vial that was interactable, causing Aya to realize that Eve's accomplished her mission at the hospital already.

Wait a minute, it's just dawned on me that you're using items called Liberty and Death at the same time. Traditionally, aren't you supposed to only be given one of the two?

Today we are talking about the Museum of Natural History! There's actually a bunch of such museums in the USA, but we're focusing on the one in New York.  Wait a minute...  There. That's more like it.  This place is just across from Central Park, so the ooze didn't have far to travel. And yes. It has a lot of dinosaurs.   Click here for the full 2048x1365 image A LOT of dinosaurs! Yes, the giant atrium with the T-Rex skeleton in the center is in fact real!  Being a museum, a lot of its exhibits change from year to year and decade to decade. This bee hive exibit for the kids to learn about bees is something newer, for example. It's been around since 1869, when a naturalist named Bickmore was like "hey, Europe has a ton of Natural History Museums, and New York is basically the best city we have over here, we should make one." And yes, fossils were a part of it even at its inception. All sorts of other critters were featured too, like insects, reptiles, and so on, of course.  .jpg) The "giant mitochondria" is not as out of place as one might think, they love showing blown-up insides of tiny things. They also have the history of humans and hominids.  Including Mitochondria Eve herself! Okay, not really, this is just a Homo Erectus statue.   They didn't really have the space to do a whole section on human evolution in the game, but they did give us this sweet evolution diagram on the ground. So, yeah. Museums are cool, this one is especially cool. Just watch out for primordial ooze reanimating the exhibits. Speedball fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 11, 2024 |
