You have to give Dogeyes one thing, that was a perfectly reasonable reaction to seeing Wei Shen in his murder mask.

But hooleee crap, this is one of those levels that I just replayed endlessly, the fish-based murder dungeon is probably one of the best melee segments in the entire game, pretty much endlessly replayable. And I was always thrown off by shooting in the vehicle segments - I know NOW that you have infinite ammo, but the fact that the screen shows how much is in your clip AND how much was in your reserve confused me. Then I noticed that it just never went down. Weird design choice.

If you re-watch the video and just stare at the ammo counter, you'll see it happen a couple times. But you are right, it's a little weird that that is how they defined infinite ammo: random, free ammo. Maybe there is suppose to be several boxes of ammo in the car you are defending and Wei just grabs more as he runs low?

No wonder Wei respects Mrs. Chu, we've found the one person in the game actually crazier and more violent than he is. On the ammo when driving thing, maybe I'm just misremembering, but I thought you actually had to duck into the vehicle to refill your reserve. At least I recall having to do that on a few missions, though I also seem to remember the opposite on others. Might just have been buggy or something. At least I never had it outright refuse to let me lean out though; since it looked like Wei smashed his way out the window when it worked, maybe the glass actually blocked him the first time for some reason.

So JossiRossi and I were discussing games we'd like to maybe do an LP of someday, and um... Things happened. E: to be clear, there's more of this, and we had to set up and port forward Tunngle to get this to work which took like an hour to figure out.

Hey Chocolate Donuts I got a question for you, I was trying to watch through your stream of San Andreas and it seems like a few of the videos have no sound at all -- is that an issue with twitch.tv or was it something to do with the recording itself (specifically video 10).

You'd think after watching several of your buddies get hoisted up onto meat hooks or tossed onto a pallet of swordfish that maybe fighting this madman in a pig mask is a bad idea and your boss isn't worth it. Then again, that would make for boring gameplay. Still, its sometimes offputting how nobody really reacts to the environmental attacks. Also, I've had this image in mind since the video with Shen grabbing Ratface for Mrs. Chu. Turns out Photoshop's harder than I remembered but I wanted to contribute something to this amazing LP.

So I just bought the game and I am loving it! One thing that does not come across from the LPs is the quality of the music I really love the soundtrack in the game especially the opening title beats!

Yeah, but Kaz could still gently caress people up, it would be a pretty even match between the two of them. It would probably end with the two of them going out to sing karaoke.

Sleeping Dogs won the Community Choice poll at 52%! Therefore, for just under the next eight hours, Sleeping Dogs is $6.24 (75% discount) and all DLC is at 50% discount, or $27.49 for it all.

Ahh yes, was waiting for a steam sale to pick this up. Sadly the DLC doesn't seem to have any additional price cut for the community sale, just the main game. Still, is there a good list somewhere of which DLCs actually have story/mission content worth picking up (as opposed to just costumes, or the dumb "lets remove any semblance of a money mattering" type stuff)?

Thanks to this LP I've been having a serious craving for Chinese street food. The local cash only Hong Kong cafe will likely miss me when this LP ends and I don't want egg puffs and bao so much.

I have something to say. About meat hooks. I've worked in a slaughterhouse before, spent a lot of time cleaning different sizes of meat hook, had a lot of time with these things in my hands. There are a lot of ways to get hurt in a slaughterhouse, I've heard a lot of stories about de-boning workers who cut themselves in weird places, accidents happen. Not once did I hear about someone stabbing themselves on a meat hook. This is because meat hooks are dull, the way they're fastened onto a carcass is usually on holes that exist there in the first place, or places that a reasonably-built man could pierce with their finger. For fish, it's the gills, for sheep, it's a little hole just above their ankles, between their leg and the sinew that connects to the ankle. Meat hooks are dull because they don't need to be sharp. I guess what I'm saying is, not only would Wei Shen need to be inhumanly strong to fasten somebody onto a hook like that, it would be even more painful than most of us here imagined in the first place.

I'm gonna go with the developers didn't know. I mean, just think for a second, ignoring what Joe said. When you think of a meat hook, bog or small it doesn't matter, what is your immediate thought? For me, I think of an overgrown fish hook, just maybe not at sharp. Sharp enough to pierce something shoved/dropped on it (like a carcass or a person) but not enough to honestly hurt someone taking hold to maneuver it around. At least, that's what I'm hoping..

I don't know, being hung up through your torso with a giant hook piercing your organs would be pretty loving excrutiating, as would getting slammed down on an inexplicably-placed pallet of swordfish heads. I don't think the Sleeping Dogs creators were unaware of how hosed up those executions were. Personally, I think the biggest problem is when areas have so many places to do environmental executions, it just makes Wei Shen look like a raving psycho. Anyways, that aside I went ahead and picked up my first DLC for the game, Nightmare in North Point. Despite the fact that you literally only do one thing (Kung-Fu fight with the undead), it's really cool and enjoyable, if short. I love the dialogue and writing, and how it basically feels like Evil Dead meets Big Trouble in Little China (minus the one-liners and much of the campy-ness). Also, I love the fact that "Not Ping"s uncle just refers to her in the DLC as "Niece".
