SSNeoman posted:Nope. I think it's because I have very good spatial reasoning abilities; I found the sewer childsplay. I really struggled to understand some of the intended actions in the water treatment plant, which don't make it clear whether you've done something right. Plus back then you were supposed to never let water go through in a polluted state, which made a bunch of valves and switches traps if pressed in the wrong order.

You really must admire Mark's dedication to duty when he keeps noting structural problems after the structure has literally fallen on top of him. And he's now lost and alone in a green mushroom sewer. And the only other signs of habitation are left by a crazy person with a grudge and a lot of dynamite, apparently...

Maybe that button set off some dynamite like some kind of booby trap? Also, we fell through the floor but I don't remember seeing a hole in the ceiling, did we just not look at it?

That grunting was a bit over the top. Sounding more like Mark needs to go to see the doctor about his constipation.

Eh the gate wasn't a bad puzzle. The issue is that you are sorta left with a "now what?" once you get to the other side of the walkway, but eh INFRA.

We're already trapped underground with nothing else to do, may as well keep doing our job. If we don't survive then hopefully some other engineer will recover our memory card. Also, when all else fails bash it with a rock! Or brick. Any blunt object will do really.

Mark, your PIN is '1337' (which itself  worthy) but you can't remember it 5 minutes later?  I guess it's time for this game's version for On A Rail? If a Theoretical Physicist with no practical experience driving a train can do it how hard can it be for us?

That ad was indeed based on literally the exact same real ad it seems: https://www.adweek.com/creativity/another-subway-ad-wants-you-jump-19274/ At this point I think if I was in Mark's shoes I'd have been pounding on the glass for someone to let me out at the first sign of civilization.

Yeah, If I was Mark I'd have smashed the first window at the union building, climbed out to the pavement - and taken a photo of the broken window to claim it was like that when I got here. Then walked home.

You know, you probably don't need to be so sparing with your torch, putting it down as soon as you've seen the layout of the room and going off memory like that. I have it on good authority that you have ten packs of batteries for the flashlight.

Those radios are a real product by the way. Tivoli Model ones. I recognized it in the first video since they are distinctive. Its interesting that everyone in this city has one. And no i dont think they transmit as well as receive.

ZeusCannon posted:And no i dont think they transmit as well as receive. Any FM radio needs to have a local oscillator for getting the audio signal separated from the carrier wave (heterodyning for demodulation). Superheterodyne-type receiver circuits might even use several intermediate frequencies. If the signal of those oscillators leaks out of the circuit, you can get local interference spikes on those frequencies. In real life, speed-trap radar detector detectors look for just such a leakage from the radar detector's receiver circuit. Within INFRA, I'd assume those radios are cheap clones of the actual Tivoli Model Ones, with circuitry designed by some Far East electronics factory owner's nephew, who knows only just enough about electronics and radios to be dangerous.

Well that was a rather pointless side trip with a pretty dumb payoff. Also I believe that place is an underground flood water storage place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Area_Outer_Underground_Discharge_Channel Should also be mentioned its the artificial sweetner used when making sugar free candy that is not too kind on your bowels when eaten in large quantities. Which turned out to be Lycasin. https://io9.gizmodo.com/what-turned-sugar-free-candies-into-super-laxatives-1678526975 Also in the effort of looking up what the sweetner is called I found this: https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx2ASS4WFT3WAG/ref=ask_dp_dpmw_al_hza Reading the customer reviews is a must: https://www.amazon.com/Haribo-SUGAR-Classic-Gummi-Bears/dp/B006J1FBLM

I'm 3 minutes in and I am 110 percent certain the kebab place being run by Aziz is a reference to the Kummeli sketch about middle-eastern propaganda and terrorism, especially with the Combat Fighter thingy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AAX_wFvPAg For anyone watching these, keep in mind these are all pre-9/11.

Well that was pretty extreme - when the subways here run a red an arm trips the brakes and stops the train (most of the time, sometimes they just plow into something then stop). They don't blow the tracks out all Skyfall style and drop the train into the sewers.

Okay, by the time he gets back to his office, the repair and remediation plan for this city is going to be 'burn it down to the bedrock, start over', right? So many tunnels have collapsed and are damaged beyond possible repair that I have no idea how anyone still has running water or functioning sewage at this point.

The game ends with the city in flames, and as all corrupt company skyscrapers collapse, it is revealed that Markku's supervisor only exists in his mind, his cellphone batteries long dead. Then "Where is my mind" by the Pixies starts playing while Markku is watching the chaos, eating a kebab.
