I tried some new things with the audio this time, please tell me what you think. I'm more than willing to re-adjust as necessary!


The year it was released, Sleeping Dogs saw its first major DLC come out, appropriately, on October 30.


Designed as a continuation of Sleeping Dogs' infatuation with Hong Kong cinema, Nightmare in North Point turns its affections to a very different genre. When all Hell breaks loose one night and Not Ping is kidnapped by the undead, Wei Shen is forced to battle demons, vampires, the ghosts of those he's killed, and the vengeful spirit of dead gangster Smiley Cat to save both her and the entirety of Hong Kong.

I wasn't prepared to go into this alone, so I grabbed a supposed expert. Unfortunately, he got sick! But he showed up anyway (thanks Ceciltron) and our adventure could begin more or less on schedule.

Welcome to the Nightmare in North Point!

All I know about jiangshi I learned from Jackie Chan Adventures, from that episode where Uncle turned into one. I think that had that prolific Chinese voice actor as one of the jiangshi as well.

In other news, I'm kinda stuck on the last section of the Wei Shen story. Do you guys want full ghoner action, just a mention of the ghoner, or what? I mean, I have no problem writing full Harlequin novel paragraphs, but I can also gloss over it. Alternatively, I can make two versions of the story: one with ghoner and one without. Whatever you guys are cool with, I'll write and then I can finally finish this thing before finals week. :3:

Finally caught up with this. Glad to see it back.

Isn't Chaozu from Dragon Ball a jiangshi?

I was a little confused by the end of the "actual" game when I finished it (to be honest, I picked it up because of this thread, after seeing you slap a guy with a giant fish and having to pause the video for an hour and a half until I stopped laughing). I thought Wei's job was to totally stop the Sun On Yee by bringing down all the leaders, not just shuffle around the higher-ups and put someone else in charge?

I mean, Po WAS getting a little older, maybe the police decided it'd be better to remove him on their terms, rather than the triads', but... I don't know. Unless I missed/forgot something, or it's a sequel hook. Or Aunty's on the payroll?

Wei was sent in to deal with Uncle Po and Sonny Wo because Pendrew had a score to settle. When that was done, the operation was done. Wei stayed in to kill Big Smile Lee and keep things from getting worse.

Following Fridurmus' track, submitting things barely within the time I said I would! (I mentally changed my release date to this Sat sssh)

:nws:Ghoner's Paradise :nws:

Hopefully that link works properly. Warning for maximum ghoner action, like full on Harlequin novel action. I was actually going to add more, but I ended up laughing too hard at what was already written.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think of it as well. There are less puns than I expected, but I did throw in some hearty references to the LP, and to the game itself.

e: Whoops, forgot this thing. It's story-important: The text from Jackie mentioned in the story

That said, bad news: Cecil's still sick, and I'm of the opinions that A) he needs to be the wingman for Nightmare, and B) he needs to rest his lovely pipes. This plus finals starting the Monday after next leads me to the unfortunate conclusion that I won't be able to update the LP proper for at least Monday, possibly not until finals are over. Sorry!

Later today or sometime tomorrow when he gets a chance to toss it up on Youtube.
Was a good stream, got cussed out by a Québécois while he was on a train drunk as a skunk, and we all got to witness a man slowly become a broken shell as DarkSidePhyitus infected his nervous system.
Also schlongs got shot, penises pierced, dicks demolished, and wangs got wrecked.
The best part was the 420flagscoping we got to witness in Minesweeper though, which in case you did not know can be played with a loving controller.
Yes, the controller rumbles when you hit a mine.
