What's the song that plays during the scene between Brad and Rick?

Which one, the flashback Ep4? Or the confrontation in Ep5? The Ep4 flashback is called "Ode to the Oblivious."

Laser Agar is actually based on a streamer named Fraser Agar, whom the creator of this game is a fan of, so much so that he even made a special demo to play for their show.

I can't believe Fraser has fans.

Edit: Actually you know what that explains a lot

The confrontation. I went through the soundtrack on youtube, but I guess I missed it. Really fit the scene though, my blood ran cold watching it.

I actually have no idea, it doesn't seem to be on the soundtrack. It might be in the game files somewhere.

That one's in the game files as "Death's Call.ogg" in the same folder as ambiences the game uses. It is itself a very slow, soft organ version of The Sireen's Call, the same song that plays at the intro to the LP videos.

The Sireen's Call is both creepy and beautiful, and dates back to LISA: The First.

...Woooowwww.

So the Joy guy just grabs a team member at random and it's their life or your arm? And Russian Roullette?

You know what gets to me most is that you don't see Nern or Rage or the other guy whose name I keep forgetting protesting this. No trying to tell a story to stall, or throw a suplex//deer, they leave their fate in Brad's hands or don't protest when they're being volunteered for this sickness. I mean, that's *probably* just how the game mechanics work out but it could be read as them just... well, accepting that this is the kind of poo poo that goes on, and it's now their turn to roll the dice. THAT'S how hosed up all this is, that they're aware of it.

Although maybe that's just me. When I watched the husband come home to his "wife", I nearly shouted at Youtube "Quick, Brad! Pretend you're a burglar!!!"

Voice of Dog is a better man than I, I would have probably sacrificed Nern. Though I would have probably given up any non-Olan members of my group (guess who I took to endgame).

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I'd have held on to Nern, he's just too good at supporting for me to give him up. Turning on all your TP characters seems like a pretty powerful and unique ability, at least at this point. Rage, Beastborn, or Mad Dog I would probably all give up, though.

Yeah, weirdly Nern might be the most valuable character in the party right now, he's the worst guy to be picked out there.

The worst thing is, Nern will almost always be the one picked to potentially die. He's not the best offense but he's an essential support character.

So you could game the system by putting a guy you don't need in front? I mean, it doesn't seem like losing an arm has really slowed Brad down much, but people who like to keep on all their limbs might want to avoid it.

Yeah, Buzzo always grabs the second party member. When I ran into him, he grabbed Terry, and I had to take a break from the game and steel myself to give up Terry this time after giving up all my stuff to keep him around last time. gently caress Terry.

I was so resigned to losing Terry that I stripped all his equipment and put Percy in his place before going back to face Buzzo again. It was a bit of a surprise when Buzzo decided to grab Percy and butcher him instead.

Seriously though, gently caress Terry.

This is a game set in the post-apocolypse. Of course there will always be mutants, and the answer will always be SCIENCE!




Nuclear Spill, Radioactive Decay or Genetic Mutation.

In order:

- Yes
- Yes, if we happen upon another appropriate place for something like that
- I guess?? I kinda think you shoulda had it as the proper length but making us have to be even more patient so could wrap up the story was funny too, do it at your discretion

Yeech. Well, that explains why the Rando garrison we encountered earlier was under orders from Rando not to start any poo poo for no reason. Can't have anybody get slaughtered without a soldier around who knows how to field-dress a carcass.

Not gonna lie. I liked the joke at first, but by the end when the guru or whatever piped up I was a little disappointed because the story stopped.
