Force Gun is best gun. It's the closest we're gonna get to a shotgun in this game. *E* Holy poo poo I lost it at the Death Reel. That was amazing, Kamoc. IronSaber fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Sep 8, 2015 |

Before engineering, Isaac had an interest in geology and took a few classes on the subject before grad school. Most of the laboratory days focused on taking apart the rocks and studying the inner parts for how they formed. One day in particular, Isaac was assigned to open up a mineral known as a heliotrope, often called a bloodstone because of the red spots spattered across it. But the one he was given had unusual yellow spots, which fell in the same category but had a different name. Unfortunately, the lab was short on tools so he had to delve into the disposable instruments bin to pick out a used specialty knife for rock splitting. After picking out the one he wanted, Isaac got to work and found that the incision instrument worked surprisingly well despite being second-hand. Because no one wanted it, he decided to keep it for himself to commemorate this special, yellow-spotted mineral. So Isaac took out his labeler, punched in a couple words, and stuck the name "Plasma Cutter" on the knife. slycooper20 posted:Also, the meteor shooting segment sucks.

I'm voting for the Contact Beam mainly because I want you to use the joke I wrote earlier. [Sees enemy. Charges up Contact Beam.] "Looks like I've just made..." [Fires Contact Beam, obliterating the necromorph.] "...First Contact." [Three pairs of sunglasses descend onto Isaac's visor.] (Also because the Contact Beam fuckin' owns.) I also wanted to mention that the death reel was some top notch stuff, I must have re-watched it like 4 times.

I always assumed the sparkly stuff rising out of the servers was a physical manifestation of data. We have telekinesis, why not deadly information beams? I'm also kind of disappointed by the brute. It seems like Video Game Enemy #3 rather than something that feels like Dead Space. Most of the monsters fit sn archetype, I suppose, but they're the only type that I look at and think "oh, it's one of you." contact bean

Kamoc, this shift in LP presentation is worth it to have people lose their poo poo over the death reels alone. Also the death reels are getting better every episode. I put all the choices into an RNG and it gave me 4 so Contact Beam.

Are there baby necromorphs in this game, or was that only DS2? If there are, we need to use the Forcegun when they turn up. Force gun is real good against babies.

We've already seen lurkers, but the baby bombs are DS2 only. Also, call this a vote for the Force Gun because its alt fire is a grenade launcher, leading to many moments of 'aw gently caress' as you accidentally blow yourself up.

Bill Schnitt and Charlie Beam have been in engineering longer than Isaac has, and even entered the field around the same time. The difference between the two, however, was that Bill rarely lifted a finger to follow orders and Charlie always put in 110%. The supervisor wanted Bill gone, but had to keep him there because of his family connections to the business. Isaac was indifferent. At the end of a long day of a long week installing tune-ups to a power station, Isaac's crew was putting the finishing touches on their work. Charlie was called away on a family emergency during lunch, leaving the three of them to work. Bill excused himself to use the restroom, but sneaked off to the bar while Isaac and his supervisor had their backs turned. Right before they called it a day, a converter malfunction caused an explosion, damaging the hull, and resulted in damaged equipment. "Dammit! We'll have to pull an all-nighter to get this mess fixed," growled the supervisor. "We're going to need another helping hand here, Isaac." "Mmphrmp mmhmhmph?" Isaac asked through his helmet. "No," the supervisor said. "We'll need an able-working man to retrieve the repair tools from the shop and here on the job, and Bill isn't him. Forget Schnitt! Contact Beam."

We need bigger weapons. Contact Beam or bust. Also, which of those actually gives the better pile of money if you sell the ammo drops? Is it this one or the line gun? I usually kept the contact beam for money instead.

Gonna be a nerd here for a minute, but the question was asked in an earlier video but hasn't been addressed in the thread. Somebody way back in episode one asked how the shops worked and nobody seemed to have a good answer. The only thing that makes sense to me is that each shop is actually a fabrication system, and your credits are literal "credit" that you are using to purchase the raw materials from the ships stores in order to build the stuff you are requesting. When you sell something to the shop it is being disassembled into its individual components and the system gives you some credit in exchange for increasing its material stock. The gold and ruby circuit boards are worth what they are because those materials are limited in the ships storage. So yes, when you upgrade your suit Isaac is stepping into an automated factory that is slapping additional parts onto his armor. This may seem like a really stupid idea, but given the alternative is taking the suit off for whatever length of time is required to do the upgrade, I think we can understand why Isaac just jumps in. This has been your nerd minute. Looking forward to the next video.

It also makes the whole situation creepier - they have a Company Store on the ship, which is pretty awful for workers' rights. I assume those space-bux get cashed for considerably less actual-buxs. The option to purchase "weapons" may actually be the workers paying for gear he company sees that have been broken due to misuse. The schematics found could be just "access codes" for particular items - security are allowed to make a laser-rifle at anytime, but everyone else is limited to only what they need for their particular line of work. Isaac's just picking them up from bodies and giving himself the Admin Rights to produce them.

It's important to remember that barring a few like the pulse rifle all of Isaac's weapons are repurposed industrial and mining tools, not actual "weapons". So your average worker would have gone to the shop to pick up a new Plasma Cutter when his old one got busted up or whatever, or when he ran out of plasma energy. But yeah, I agree with the micro/nano-forge hypothesis. It worked for Mass Effect and Red Faction, and it works here. Although really the actual answer is "space magic for the sake of having a game". And there's nothing wrong with that. Who What Now fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Sep 28, 2015 |

One of my most favorite RPGs, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, also explicitly had the shop as a fabrication lab. (You're on a self-sufficient spaceship-thing traveling through a dimensional vortex in Antarctica, full of demons, you gotta build as you go, haha. And demon money, Macca, turns out to be a great energy source!)

I was going to mention the schematics, but forgot when I was writing that up. Didn't see the Company Store angle when I typed that up, but it really does fit with everything else we see from the people who are in charge in the Dead Space games, doesn't it? This will be really evident in Dead Space 2, when we get around to it. But yeah, "Nano-Machines, son" will always be the sci-fi answer to "It's magic, I don't gotta explain poo poo".  Edit: Someone draw fan art of Isaac, in a wife-beater and boxers, waiting outside of the store while his armor is being upgraded. A Necromorph looking on is optional, but encouraged.

Yes, goofy voices for the Necromorphs make this group commentary just wonderful. Well, that and physics engine bugs. And an LPer who knows the game well enough to find the weird bits. This is a riot and I wish you all possible speed.
