Red Faction, where Communists run wild
Merciless wikipedia quotation:
Red Faction is a first-person shooter video game that was released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, and Macintosh by THQ and Volition. A version for the Nokia N-Gage was developed by Monkeystone Games. The game was also re-developed as a top-down shooter for the mobile phone.[1]
Red Faction takes place on Mars in the late 21st century. The player controls a miner named Parker who helps lead a rebellion against the Ultor Corporation. The premiere feature of the game is its "Geo-Mod" technology, short for "geometry modification", which provided destructible environments, allowing the player to destroy certain sections of the scenery in the game. For example, instead of opening a door, a player could blast through the rock surrounding the door.[2]
Sadly my computer is choking on actually good games at the moment, so Tomb Raider Underworld has been put in hiatus AGAIN.
BUT!
I bought the THQ pack for a mere 26 pounds, so I thought why not play a few oldies I haven't played before. So here is me blundering my way through red faction. Enjoy as I fail to spot obvious explosion spots and run into traps.
Set 1 - Graffiti ignorer extraordinaire
Set 2 - IT'S A TRAM - background sound not so loud

Regarding the geomoding, a good rule of thumb is that concrete and rock can be blown up while metal and interactive stuff can't.

Silencer, eh it does its job but it's not really needed at all.
Flamethrowers alt requires other tanks (he pulls the current tank off and throws it like a grenade, best to use 90% of a tank then throw it)
Shotguns main fires two shells.
Oh and don't worry about helpful NPCs 90% die when you meet em or like the friendly gentlemen that exploded in the first section, die after a trigger.
And you can use some turrets (like the one you blew up at the start of section 2)
You can open some crates too, it looks like someone didn't play the tutorial.
Set 2 Part 3 you missed an early sniper rifle.
And you don't have to destroy cameras

I remember the stealth bit. I remember seeing a hint somewhere that said to not directly look at anyone, or they'd become suspicious. I did that whole section while looking at the floor.
Which realisticly would only raise more suspicion
And I have to say that I'm disappointed with you.
Very, very disappointed.
There are certain things that a guy just doesn't do. Sort of like a list of rules, if you will. They're not written down or anything, it's just something you automatically know. And amongst those rules is that a guy does not shoot another guy in the back of the head while he's taking a leak.
Seriously though, it's a good start to what seems like an intriguing game. It'll be interesting to see where the story takes you. I'll keep my eyes open for the next part.
Guilty as charged. Half the fun of a blind LP is watching somebody be totally clueless. At least what I've found, anyway.
Maybe I should dig my copy out and see how much I remember.

Sure! I'll be doing another set this evening so should try and tweak that.
Also, in the first set, the mining equipment was hellishly loud. Just a note.
New set! New set!

More LP from you is a good thing, though, sir. Too bad that your compy is giving you problems with Underworld.
Or how on a map with 2 fortresses opposing each other we dug long tunnels into the side walls and shot out the ramps leading up to the entrances and used railguns to try and kill each other from our homemade caves.
Multiplayer geomodding was amazingly fun.
