Today we experience a necromorph outbreak firsthand for once and learn some incredibly important backstory: Where the heck that video log in Dead Space 3 came from. I am joined by Nine-Gear Crow... and apparently Cheron. I guess.

IT'S ME, BURROWS!

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG, BURROWS!
Some thoughts while watching

In a previous Dead Space 2 LP, the LPer apparently didn't realize there was a child in the washing machine (despite, you know, the screaming) and thought it was some "washing machines are scary" thing.

I was ambivalent about the Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2 ad campaign, but the followup? Your Mom Sucks At Dead Space 2, where they handed them the controllers and put them into multiplayer? Fantastic.

Those weren't... teeth, exactly.

"Look, an elementary school!" "Ohhhh..."
Visceral is amazingly merciless. Speaking of the James Bond scene, you might not punch someone in the dick repeatedly in this series, but Visceral has that covered elsewhere!

The Line Gun's pretty much the Plasma Cutterer.

Goddamn, nice ammograb with the kinesis at 27:06

On the subject of cult suicides, I thiiiiink that was particularly relevant in the small office to the left of that blowout window in the Unitology place.

At least for me.

Had way more success with the Javelin gun. The secondary's fine on it's own and the explosion is sort of a bonus to that.

If we're talking about great episodes of SG-1, it has the single greatest episode of any show of all time: season four, 'Window of Opportunity'. Watch it, you will not be disappointed. Kurieg's suggestions are also great.

Watching you guys play Dead Space 2 just underlines how bad a game DS3 is, in comparison.

Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo.

And what should one do to be remembered?
Holy poo poo, Drakengard 3 has an enemy MADE of children? That's peak Cavia.

Anyways, it's really funny to see the massive gap of quality between DS2 and DS3. I still like DS3 a lot - if you ignore the plot and characterization entirely (just like a Resident Evil game) then it's an amazing coop game. That said, watching this LP has shown me how MUCH I ignored the dialogue in this game :psyduck: That final line in the last update.

I gotta admit, the 'just fuckin' around' DS2 LP is really entertaining, primarily because DS2 is a way, way better game than DS3.

DS3 is a good game (with a terrible script), DS2 is a great game.

Holy hell, I played through DS2 three or four times and I never noticed that it was a kid trapped in that washing machine. :stare: I was always too concerned with that room being a deathtrap on the higher difficulties, it really can't be understated how that enclosed space really fucks you over when you're dealing with multiple necromorphs in the dark.

I recently watched a fun LP of Drakenguard 3, it was one of the most insane games I've seen in a long time. It goes off the rails pretty much immediately and never comes back.
So are you guys gonna make sweet Garrys Mod Dead Space fan films now? Isaac Clark and what's his name, spacecops!

It's me! I'm the guy that pronounces 'javelin' weird! I don't know why I pronounce it that way, I'm from the midwest US so I don't really have much of an accent. The midwest is basically the bland accent capital of the US, really.

It's better than our boy Isaac in any case, I mean did you hear him say the word 'necromorph' earlier? "First I need some answers. How did another necramurph outbreak get started?"

Necramurphy's law, I guess.

I loved the opening sections of DS2. Fast paced, lots of different monsters, chaos, horror, good stuff. I wonder if that subway train hallucination was meant to be a Jacob's Ladder shoutout?

When I was doing my hardcore run, this is what I was building up to. Basically it was a DS3 javelin gun with an explosive module secondary because I didn't bother with the secondary shock move. Shoot, click, BOOM. Who's next?

It was loving wonderful spearing things and making them explode. :allears:

Today Isaac becomes a banana and then we trek across the facility in a desperate bid to search for supplies and make ourselves a probe gun. I am joined by Blind Sally and Nine-Gear Crow.

TEXT LOGS IN THIS CHAPTER:

quote:

PERSONAL LOG: PVT EDMUND VARLEY

With great effort our dig team trekked to the coordinates Dr. Serrano had given us. The blizzard was relentless. To keep from getting lost, we chained the MU92s together into a sort of wagon train. We struggled like this for the better part of a day, wondering if we would ever see our warm bunks again.

Then, without warning the storm lifted and we saw them. They towered like gods with a twisted Olympus rising behind.

Before I knew what was happening, I had fallen to my knees and was weeping uncontrollably overwhelmed by my utter insignificance.

quote:

PERSONAL LOG: PVT EDMUND VARLEY

Everywhere we dig, we find them, their frozen carcasses trapped in the ice. I know Serrano says they’ve been dead for two million years but I can’t shake the feeling that some part of them is still alive.

Their eyes, if they had them, are long gone. But their stares are intense. Accusing. Angry. Distorted. And around them, always the Markers: Ancient monoliths from an ancient race.

Sometimes, when everyone has left the dig site for the day, I hear their icy voices like whispers on the wind.

'Turn it off.'

'Turn it off.'

quote:

SCAF-AHC 30904 FROM: GENERAL SPENCER MAHAD

ATTENTION ALL HANDS: SCENARIO FIVE HAS BEEN DECLARED. ALL FLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE FLEET. REPORT TO YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICER FOR ORDERS. 100% COMPLIANCE IS REQUIRED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

GOD SAVE THE COLONIES.

quote:

WENT TO THE ARMORY TO REQUISITION A PISTOL AND ONE BULLET FOR EACH SOLDIER - SHAKING LIKE A LEAF. THE SUPPLY CHIEF FILLED THE ORDER AND ASKED IF I WANTED A RECEIPT. WE BOTH LAUGHED. AS WE SHARED A FINAL SMOKE, HE TOLD ME ABOUT HIS FAMILY BACK HOME AND HIS VACATION PLANS FOR WHEN HE RETURNED. THEN HE UNZIPPED A BODY BAG AND ASKED IF I WOULDN'T MIND SPOTTING FOR HIM. HE APOLOGIZED FOR BEING A HEAVY FELLOW AND SAID, IF I COULD, HIS BODY SHOULD BE TAKEN BELOW LIKE THE REST. I HESITATED AT FIRST. BUT HE CALMLY SAT DOWN IN THE SACK LIKE IT WAS A SLEEPING BAG, SAID A QUICK PRAYER, AND THEN - HE OFFED HIMSELF. ONCE HIS REMAINS HAD BEEN TENDED TO, I GATHERED MY ORDER AND NOTICED THE JITTERS HAD GONE. I GUESS I'M NOT AFRAID TO DIE ANYMORE. IN FACT, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

:smith:

TRIVIA:

- The existence of the Nexus is actually foreshadowed by a billboard in the first chapter of the game in which it is available in the form of a delicious burger. I wonder what the Nexus tastes like.
