The other cardinal sin of Omega Strain was that you didn't start with the taser and had to unlock it.

Worth noting btw, if you played the SF2 demo of that train section as a kid and that was literally all you knew about this series before now, it still pretty much told you everything important about the first game and up to where you were. Syphon Filter's a virus, Lian's infected, and the Agency would turn on you. Boom, first game is now totally irrelevant.

....And yes, I am not afraid to admit I literally haven't played that demo in fifteen years but the moment I walked into this thread I remembered everything from it. Including the NVG effect mode.

no, I'm not. I think you need to go back and start with the first mission in syphon filter 1 and bring that level of quality glitchiness and demonic Rhoemer to every video you've ever made.

ever.

I maintain after watching it (and listening to Dragoon bitch about it for two straight hours over Skype one time) that it had a lot of neat ideas. They just happened to be in a terrible game, that's all.

I know the :magical: part was indeed :magical:, but I honestly gotta say, my favorite part about Lune videos is his music choices. Detective Conan and PSO in the same video? It's like that time he threw Burning Rangers into RE6. I love all of it.

Mara is clearly the Revolver Ocelot of this series. I expect the end of this game will also involve her having some sort of shady deal going down with yet another larger shadowy power.

If the Taser were canonically present, that black site would be nothing more than a smoldering pile of ash.

Well, you know what they say. "Only those who are prepared to have their souls ripped from their bodies and immolated for all time should work in secret women's prisons" or something like that. Might've paraphrased a little.

The M-79 is a glutton compared to the Taser's fine choices of souls and suffering. M-79 thrives on death and destruction, but the Taser gains power through a much deeper form of torment.

Oh god. I just remembered that in Omega Strain, the US President & Gabe Logan have close dealings with each other, like the Prez FULLY supports him in his endeavours.

And all of the :stonk: things he will do and have access to. Maybe Armstrong is President in the Syphon Filter verse.....

Gabe played college ball, y'know?

There have been worse ideas made into games that were then made into movies. At least with Syphon Filter, it's already dumb enough to be hilarious. All they'd need is to actually have The Taser set someone on fire and they'd be set.

When you said "It keeps disconnecting for some reason" at 29:15, I was hoping for an error message to pop up "Taser lost connection and is attempting to reconnect" with some horrible nightmarish 56K modem sounds to accompany the screams.

I'm actually really curious where people found it really funny, like what video and edit was there that really sold people on LOOOOOOOOGANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! because at first I just did it because it was a thing that had to happen but I never thought it'd take off, I was just accepting Psion's challenge of Rhoemer in every video. Then SF2's last episode happened and people were loving that so maybe it was that one :D

Honestly, I found the whole "Ghost of Rhoemer" thing funny the first time, and had it stopped there, it would've been an amusing joke you did once and we'd move on. But then you kept going with it, and it just got funnier each time because you found ways to make it funny without being repetitive. The Russian Disco episode with the grenade was the point where I first started shouting LOGAN!!! on my own, though.

Just caught up with the thread. It's great. My one bit of input:

The Air Taser steals people's souls, of course. The Hand Taser just strips from its victims the ability to feel joy ever again.

Of course it does. You didn't think that "80,000 volts of neural chaos" bit was talking about them being electrocuted, did you?

Rhoemer is Logan's archenemy for all time.

ONLY Logan. His presence exists in everywhere else, but only Gabe shall ever hear his voice calling for him from the fifth circle of hell. So yeah, I think it's best to be consistent with the LOOOOOOGAAAAN as for being just for Logan.

This, really. He will try to murder everyone Logan cares about, but only Gabe can hear the call.

This is Something Awful, "good" is an incredibly subjective term that rarely applies to anyone here.

This is it, this is happening now.

So, dunno if anyone's been visiting the FFX thread, but there's been at least one or two discussions about James Arnold Taylor's chops as a VA, and while Tidus might not seem that impressive to most people's ears, well, he's got kind of a better range than that. I'm okay with him as Gabe so far.

Also, those news shots are actually legitimately really interesting to browse through. There's a bigger picture here that you don't necessarily get to see from just playing the game, and it's neat to look at the reports and see the edges of the pieces just within sight through the fog.

And that Alex Birchim guy who seems to be trying to run some kind of political game against the Agency will never be a serious issue, I'm sure.
