Well, more in the sense of the Walrider taking on a host who isn't shackled to life support which presumably restricts its range. The outside journo who nobody will suspect has been indoctrinated in the asylum, and who's only there because the whistle got blown.

Well, that argues that the Walrider has control and not the host. I can't say anything else until Whistleblower ends.

Unrelated to Outlast, but the first (test?) episode of Spec Ops is up. Sorry for the lack of a thread. Also sorry for the shamelessness of plugging LP Y in the thread for LP X.

Whistleblower'll get continued within the week, so thats cool

e: Well oops. That's what I get for not paying attention. Fixed.

Judging from the getup Waylon had at the start he probably does have a pretty magical beard.

So, anyway, I only just started watching/reading the LP, and I'm only on Chapter 4, but I want to thank you for keeping the jump-scare time-log. I'm -terrible- with jump scares, they're almost physically uncomfortable to me, so your timer guide helps immensely, OP.

I really hope Waylon's face isn't all screwed up and hamburgered like all the other Variants.

Since he seems to be mostly lucid hopefully his face is similarly mostly alright?

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
My only comment on the specops video so far is to be careful not to offer too much commentary- even more than Outlast, the game really speaks for itself. Because it's not in first person, emotive commentary is going to be more jarring to the audience because we won't identify with it or the protagonist in the same way.

Yeah, even just rewatching it myself I can tell I'm talking far too much. It'll take some time to get used to it, definitely!

I'll focus on finishing Whistleblower for now, I'd hate to leave it unfinished for long.

How do all these psychos build up these..."territories" so quickly and efficiently? Walker had his head library in the head library (ha), Dr. Trager had his clinic, and this guy has his kitchen, ready to go.

Yep! And I think it's probably not too demanding to think that these dudes either mapped out their spots way ahead of time or were just drawn to an area. Cannibal in the kitchen, the Dr in the clinic.

I don't think Walker had a territory, to be fair. He sorta was everywhere, since his entire mission was along the lines of "Kill everyone and everything to maintain containment."

Cookie had the whirr-whirr of his blade, Walker had the jingle-jangle of his Chains, Trager had the snip-snip of his scissors... I'm pretty sure, of all your stalkers, only the Twins are dead silent when they stalk you.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Just starting out, so I apologize if this was mentioned but an early message in the game lists the main characters email, and it is a valid account. So I shot him an email.

Just marathoned this. Wow. Very well done.

I liked the ending quite a bit, particularly how reminiscent it was of Night of the Living Dead. I was also unconvinced by the nanomachines explanation in the best of possible ways. I'm sure it helped that the bit of foreshadowing line "When a modern man encounters magic, he assumes it is technology" was still banging around my head. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a jab at Metal Gear, but it's fun to construe it that way.

That's not going to be good enough. As a consumer I feel betrayed by your lack of consistent updates and have reported you to Chip Cheezum, Geop, Lowtax and the better business bureau for malpractice and betraying the consumers trust. You're not going to be able to post your lp's anywhere after this.
