Already happened; the back half of the train used by Leon, Claire, and Sherry to escape raccoon city was full of explosives, which destroyed the train after blob-birkin forced its way into the control cab while the trio ran for it.

Increased Capacity on the double-barrel should turn it into the Hydra.  I had no idea you could kill Pedro there. I'm guessing it's probably a new game+ sort of thing. I think I was almost out of ammo at that point. Dunno about patting one of those Orthris things... I think you'd probably need a tetanus shot afterwards.

I have decided to scrap the raid mode thing. Raid mode is too grindy/repetitive for it to be really enjoyable to watch, and every time I swap to a new character I have to replay the whole thing all over again (or do the powerleveling trick which is almost just as boring). I'll find something else to do as a side thing, probably.

Man, Barry is awesome.  Why can't he in more REs? I mean, gotta keep Leon and the cheesy one-liners and all that, but if Barry replaced Chris from here on out I might even forgive them for RE6.SIGSEGV posted:Man, Neil is really Not Stressed At All about this whole "being left behind alone with a horde of zombies" thing, he's so cool with it his bracelet stays green. I was skeptical about Neil and his penchant for running off-camera at incredibly dangerous moments. He's either going to come back from one as a traitor or a zombie boss fight (or both, a la RE5, I guess  ). I didn't even catch that he had a bracelet, that makes me even more sure.Speaking of  and Claire, I grabbed this screencap last week vis a vis the face discussion: Sorry about the delay, didn't want to forget it entirely. I put this off since I was sick for awhile (back-to-back colds plus crazy allergies basically wiped out April for anything useful, heh), and linked this LP to two of my friends for confirmation. We can't put a finger on exactly what's wrong, but something is!

I think one way to alleviate the grindiness might be to just kinda pick a character and stick with them for the raid mode videos, maybe put it to a vote or something in the thread. As far as the videos and their commentary goes, you could do something akin to what you did with Crow for the Dead Space 2 side LP, if only to have someone to talk to and play off of. Alternatively raid mode co-op might be neat, but I think you mentioned that you don't know anyone who has the game on PC. As for it being repetitive, you could just go through all of the main line levels and not do the upgraded "hard" versions after that. Despite all that, if it's dropped, you showed off what the mode has to offer in the intro and the first video, so I don't think anything's really lost if we don't see anything more. (Buy the game, play it yourself if you wanna see more!) Neil does not look pleased to see Moira.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I've been under a lot of stress lately working on my thesis and these videos have been a great way to take a break every now and again. So thanks! Also I don't want to tell you how to do your LPs, but I have sort of a hard time reading the notes while you're talking over them. I know I could just pause the video, but you know, just pointing it out.

Still, I'd like to see how it gets later when you get up to crazy levels and have all sorts of badass weapons with a ton of customized parts.

My favorite thing about the intro (I mean, besides TERR DOESNT HAVE TO END WITH ORRIST) is the line Moira starts to say before the army of HUNKs bust through the window and spoil the party: "I wouldn't even be here if I listened to him!" I bet Barry, these 6 months later, sure as hell feels bad about not trying harder to keep her from going to the party in the first place.

Rewatching the first part of episode 2, I just noticed something kinda funny. When Neil goes to distract the zombiemen, he whips out his gun: But if you look close, actually he just pulls a copy of his gun out of his holster and the original gun is still there because it's baked into his character model:  It's hidden in a kind of clever way because you only see both guns for a split second before the camera passes his lower body behind Claire's head, and then he turns around and runs leaving the holster side not facing the camera. But if you're watching close it's just a bit obvious. I wish his magical ability to dupe guns carried over to Raid Mode, it'd be very helpful. Next episode should be up before the weekend's over.

I think due to clipping issues, most of the time you have a character actually holster a gun on their body and remove it they just magnetically slap it against their hip or thigh. Far Cry 2 applies a giant leather loop to character models to give the impression of them actually pulling out and holstering something from a holster and even tries to randomize what characters have, but unfortunately the game sometimes forgets that it already put a gun there...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6rbh49o3RU I figured out what I wanted the other bonus feature to be. Here is a sneak preview. edit: In case it's not clear enough from the video, I did a hardest difficulty run where I drank a shot of straight whiskey every time I died. I'm not going to say it was a disaster, but boy you should be looking forward to it. Also, I am a pretty big lightweight. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 2, 2015 |

I was just drinking regular Jack Daniel's. Basically every person I have ever met really loves the taste of it but I haaaate it. The bottle I had (by which I mean the bottle itself, not that I drank the entire fifth), while recording felt especially strong like they forgot to put in the sweetening stuff or something. I am a fan of super sweet alcohol so I don't usually have Jack Daniel's unless I'm mixing it with something else. Jim Beam Maple whiskey is my true love. For a little while in episode 3 I consider switching to Fireball because I have quite a bit of Fireball left over from a party I went to with a friend a while back... but Fireball is what I drink if I want to get truly hosed up because I like the taste so I am sorry to say I held off. Is there a booze chat smilie? Feel free to chat about booze when I post these videos even if it's not really related to RE. Drinking is okay. edit:  is close enough

I like fireball but I hardly ever drink it straight because it will burn my mouth and make me wheeze instead of talk, usually I have something on the side. Not long into the series I realize that only drinking whiskey while constantly talking for 6 hours would destroy my throat so I go to get a glass of water between videos. Hearing me get up and trundle away from my desk was kinda funny because by that point I'd only had maybe 2 shots? I think?

If it helps, granny-swears I've always assumed is when people use regular words as replacements for curses that sound super awkward. Rochelle in Left 4 Dead 2 does a lot of granny swears. Like "Jiminy Christmas" instead of "Jesus Christ."

A granny swear, to me, is like "FIDDLESTICKS" and other exclamations you expect to hear from sweet little old ladies when the rest of us would let out with a solid "loving HELL" or "poo poo THAT STINGS" or "GODDAMN IT". Basically, it's substituting innocuous words to replace good ol' cussing. tlarn posted:If it helps, granny-swears I've always assumed is when people use regular words as replacements for curses that sound super awkward.

I enjoy the no escape video - is there any point keeping the cut-scenes in though when they're in the main play-through part of the LP? I just want to see you kill things I understand the raid videos being somewhat tedious - would you ever consider doing a couple just to show some poo poo off like really cool combinations or (sort of) speedruns?

I just want to see you kill things I might bring back raid mode for a bonus video or two but as a side series it's probably better off having been undone. As for the No Escape mode videos, I didn't skip the cutscenes because it allowed me to drunkenly ramble over them while I wasn't busy focusing on the gameplay. I guess I could edit them out in post but it'd make my commentary feel a fair bit more segmented for sure.

I have decided to start posting the figurine collectibles because they're a Resident Evil staple and will allow you, the viewers, to get a better look at the characters! I was going to post them during the string of unlockables at the end of the LP, but I figure this makes for some good tertiary content. This was an ungodly amount of work but I think it turned out pretty good! Click on one to get a lazy susan of 'em! I will be rolling these out as we come across the relevant characters/enemies/unlockables, but here are a bunch of em to start us off (there are goddamn 37 total):
