    Shame you didn't do that April fools thing earlier. As the new Youtube layout is a damn eyesore. Here's hoping it's all a prank... or bad dream.

    He plays WoW too.

    Must.... resist urge..... to armory.... argh...!

    EDIT: Seriously though, nice pick for April Fool's Hello. It's nice to see that game I played for 3 years again in such an excellent light.

    It was surprisingly amusing for a video of pretty much the most boring parts of the game. I wasn't aware you played WoW. Sometimes I miss it. But not really.

    Watching the set now, good stuff. :)

    I play WoW casually as well to kill time with my DK but it's nothing like the good old days raiding MC, Kara, even Ulduar like crazy. Shit's just turned into a theme park for little kids anymore, epics get thrown at you. It's too easy.

    I'm waiting for Guild Wars 2 among other things.

    Given the events in the latest video, I propose that Beardman should now be known as, Nuclear-man!, or Nuclear-Beardman.

    And, I guess this makes me a bad person, but watching Helloween being slowly driven insane by this game, is just delightful.

    Also, the story, still makes no sense whatsoever.

    I thought for a minute there that it was doing that thing that they do where the good guy has everything going for him and becomes super powered, only to reveal that it's all a dream or something. But then Beard Man just got shot and killed anyway, so I figured not.

    So let me get this straight. Beardman (Radioactiveman, Nuclearman, Radiationman or my favorite, Reactorman) is actually some poor soul who got recruited by a nuclear reactor to fight in the eternal struggle of reactorkind against icebergs?

    Cryostasis: Reactors vs. Icebergs - whoever wins, we lose?

    Like the earlier boss fight, you could only hurt this one when the room wasn't frozen; you may have noticed it wasn't taking damage after the fissures were sealed. The ice can be broken off with most of the weapons (apart from the flare gun, of course.)

    So... score one for the fine folks at GameFAQs!

    I think you gents have figured out the true purpose of this game. It's not about telling some crazy story and they didn't think to include useful weapons and didn't bother to optimize the engine, it's just seeing what it takes to drive a man out of his goddamn mind.

    It's working so far, right Helloween?

    *hears Helloween curse and rage on screen as the loading screen once again chews up his framerate between rapings*

    Delightful.

    EDIT: I too am enjoying FFXIII but for god's sakes, for the money they invested in the trillions of pixels needed to render the beautiful fantasy vistas and shit, could they have not hired better writers? Seriously, I want to stab the guys in the eye who wrote those horrible lines for the main characters and the linear predictable plot and all the god damn reiteration in the datalog. The datalog basically boils down to at least 3 paragraphs in each plot entry of this over and over:
    Pulse Bad. Fal'cie from Pulse, very bad. I'Cie, shit hits the fan bad. Cocoon good minus PSICOM and shit. Purge very bad. You have issues. Very bad.

    /Rage over.

    Man, Helloween. It's painful watching you play and just miss the most obvious, glaring things.

    And I realize grasping basic concepts while talking is hard, but... It's painful to watch. It hurts me.

    Limed for truth.

    Also, that bit where you went back to the other side of the helicopter situation was tragic. Basically you find out that before, you were aiding a couple of damn traitors who were trying to use a shipping helicopter to abandon the entire crew, and the zombie demons you were shooting were just dying crew members trying to stop you.

    That and the one traitor who got out to save his partner........... WAS ABANDONED! Guess there really IS no honour among traitors and deserters.

    I honestly expected the bear to sprout spider legs or some other creepy ice-related limbs and come after Mr. Beardy. I didn't expect him to end up having to save it.

    This is what I was hoping. Well, sort of anyway. It would have been creepy, but that bear looked shifty.

    I was a little crushed when the Condemned LP came along, and Helloween said something like "I've always wanted to play this." because that means he'll not be doing a wonderful blind run of the games.

    Ah well, I'm sure he won't let us down in his selection of future LP titles after AVP and Amnesia.

    So I just saw a video showing the final boss of this game. You thinks shits weird now? You have no idea. No idea at all. And no, the boss is not a giant razorblade that shaves the beard, thus stripping Beardman of his powers. That would make more sense.

    What was your last puzzle?

    From what it looked like to me, as Phil, you had to go and stand between the door and the captain, so you got shot and not the captain.

    At least, that's what I would have done.

    Or I would have opened the door for them.

    I guess when you started working the what you calls it as other guy, you accidentally triggered the captain, and "saved" him instead of helping the XO.

    Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is...

    Write the end of the script for Cryostasis apparently.

    It was going so well until the middle of part two of that last set. Then things got... well, I'd say weird, but that hardly seems sufficient to describe it. I'm trying not to think about it for fear that my mind will snap like a brittle twig.

    So I'll settle for thanking you for running through this game. I certainly wouldn't have been able to play it - and that's not just because my computer is an antique. The awkward shooting alone would have driven me over the edge. It was great fun to watch you grapple with it however.

    I'll look forward to your LP of AvP.
