So what's the equivalent nickname for 2B? Tube? That doesn't work very well, not that Nines is brilliant either...

It's a nickname made by 9S. When he's not being brilliant, he's kind of a tool.

Listening to the the first second or two of the various versions of Birth of a Wish always makes me think of that 60s Wipeout song.

The Emil reveal was amazing. I'm sure we'll find out things to make us sad, but for now I'm wondering what sort of mythology do people give to a friendly, immortal, talking, smiling, clearly non-human skull orb that can move by itself in the...let's say millennia or two humanity might have had to get back to skyscrapers and space age tech before the aliens happened.

Ah yes, the Elrics estranged half brother, Albert.

But yeah, Pascal is basically Alphonse Elric, right down to the studious nature and generally being pacifistic.

One thing I've been curious about even after beating the game is why the robot's heads are so Emil like.

When playing this scene I saw the head rolling towards me, and completely unspoiled I said to myself "Awwwwh Emil".........and then the head split open, I threw my hands up and sat in stunned silence for the rest of the scene.

It was great.

Don't worry! You can get a plug-in chip that automatically slows down time when you're near projectiles. It only becomes available about 14 hours into the game :v:

Also certain weapons when upgraded fully will make dealing with projectiles a lot easier to the point of being nigh trivial, until then just spam the hell out of your galting pod and dodges.

Since the thread recently took another trip to the amusement park, I just wanted to say that seeing the number of player corpses in the courtyard made me legitimately sad. The reward text spelled it out as clear as day - the amusement park is a mirror, and the fact that so many people would fight them made me seriously :smith:

Funny how such a simple death mechanic that was probably just thrown in as an afterthought could end up having an emotional impact



Vvv: the text apparently took a trip to an adjustment park without my noticing
