I loved this game but feel it's EU title is better at describing what it is: Canis Canem Edit. Literally translates to Dog Eat Dog, which is more representative of the situation at hand because the Bullying problem is a symptom of Bullworth's problems, not it's cause.

By the way, I've noticed you are 4 videos in on your channel, were you planning on releasing them in the thread on a weekly basis to keep them spread out or did you just forget to post the links?

I like Gary - as a villain. He's a really effective villain and he is clever and fun to watch be an absolute rear end in a top hat.

I think the only non-teacher character in the game that I hate is Ernest but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

And goddamnit I just realised the pun in Rich Kid Blues - The Blue checked outfits that they all wear. After all I think police uniforms are also described sometimes as "Blues". Never occurred to me that the obvious meaning wasn't the whole thing. And yeah Russel's pretty great. Him and Petey are the only characters that don't cowtow to their new leader, and use Jimmy as an example rather than a crutch. Petey attempts to be genuinely friendly towards Jimmy and is the first one to try to stand up to Gary by warning Jimmy about his ability to take things out of context (and is punished for it in the same scene) and Russel is loyal, yet independent.

Together they form the pillars of Jimmy's influence - Pete as the emotionally open yet mentally strong character, and Russel as the physical strength.

Since they are both on the same side now it would have been nice to see Pete and Russel doing something together like watching TV or playing a simple board game.

I dislike shop class because it only gives you one chance per go - screw up once on easy to screw up prompts, and you fail.

Seeing Jimmy's total lack of safety equipment in Chemistry bugs me. At least put the goggles on.

Something cool with Pinky is this - she doesn't pull the "Do you know who I am?" kind of schtick that the other preppies do - she knows that there is no reason for Jimmy to have heard of her and she's fine with that. Also other than Petey she is the only character who sees through Gary's crap. She's naive and spoiled, but maybe a better judge of character than she may let on.

Edit: Wow. On that "Let's go pick up the bear now!" line it sounded like Pinky's actress blew the hell out of the audio.

I like to think Eunice grows up to look like Pam Ferris as Agatha Trunchbull in the Matilda movie, just a huge pile of muscle and confidence. Just much nicer.

Meaning she doesnt count, or you shouldnt ever kiss her? Cause she is my kiss health buff waifu.

That it's possible to 100% the game without kissing her once - the other girls kiss you as part of events. Christy needs to be sought out.

I like that from this point on Pete is slowly becoming more confident. Rather than cowering and whining at Gary, the greaser kid comes in and he starts firing little barbs at him, showing how much stronger he's becoming under Jimmy's influence. He's probably one of the more interesting characters in the story by the end due to this newfound confidence.

I'm not a fan of Johnny, him and the Nerd leader are the worst leaders IMO. They're just awful people and not in a funny way. Lola's pathetic too though, so they kind of deserve each other.

I think my personal favourite Sky High line is between Will's parents:

"I mean, it's not like we can throw him into a vat of toxic waste... *beat*hmmmm..."
"STEVE!"
"You're right, you're right... I mean were would we even get a vat of..."
"STEVE!"

While Lola's annoying I don't mind Johnny as much, because he's not just paranoid, but totally obsessive. He seems not to be using hyperbole but to geniunely think everyone is against him even when they have barely interacted. He may be diagnosable with Chronic Paranoia. It just doesn't help that Lola really is cheating on him, it's just that Johnny thinks it's with everyone and not just those she finds useful and is therefore unable to see that he himself is just another useful idiot to her.
