Clearly our protagonist and fine product of the 90s is Dawg, and, well, his faithful hound only responds to "Here Boy", so he made it official.

Leavemywife posted:I remember you mentioning you did game design; would you say that's good design? It gives the player incentive to not obsessively hunt for every piece of treasure, but allows for extra items and the like, but at the same time, it offers them no incentive to search for treasure, which means less exploration, which could lead to trouble down the line due to lower levels, and the possibility that you've created a large, fabulous looking map, in which most players won't explore it, because there's no real incentive to do so. Well, you know how it is. One man's lack of sweet loot that levels you up naturally thus avoiding grinding is another man's extra surprise bonuses when you do have to go grinding.

You may say that our hero could have picked a better quote from "Mars Needs Lumberjacks", but honestly, if you're enjoying a movie called "Mars Needs Lumberjacks" you probably don't know good dialogue from a hole in the ground.

Oh, so that's just... some random dude who decided to live out in the Bugmuck and be an alchemist there. You keep doin' you, brother.

Huh. I went back and looked, and the alchemy merchants' stock seems to be expanding as you learn new formulas. Does the one back in town offer all of those things for sale now, too?

Aw yeah, healing spell. Those are always useful to find. ...kind of makes you wonder why you'd bother with healing items, though. Isn't your inventory for those kind of limited?

Clearly how it works is, first you eat a ghost pepper. Then you drink some water. Then by the time you can see again the rock is somewhere else. It must have levitated!

I like that the little musical riff that plays when you're cutting through that building to get to the inaccessible part of the market has just enough time to do something melodically interesting before you're out the other end.

So, I have to wonder -- things only seem to be getting weird now that we've stepped into the machine. I wonder if it somehow learned the concept of an evil twin from our love of bad movies?

Atlas seems of very dubious utility since you can hardly level it up without some significant downtime.

This entire series of misadventures has just been our dog dragging us into one mess after another, hasn't it? Not that a boy would ever abandon his dog.

Well, I guess we needed a reason to pay a second visit to Gothica, since when we were building the rocket we didn't really need to go "back" there.

It's kind of interesting that Carltron was a balancing influence for the world. That's some SMT-level metaphysics.
