Apparently in the future, we're going to be torn between buying a fully-functional android or upgrading our GPU.
Can I plug a HDMI cable and a USB controller into my android and play video games through them? Because if so, two birds, one stone.

Seriously though, I still find it kind of hard to believe that that guy managed to save up enough cash to buy an android instead of immediately spending it on drugs, booze and mayonnaise. And the rest of the world (that we've seen so far) seems way too close to the present day for lifelike androids to be that cheap.

Todd is not a smart man. Sure have her do the rest of the house, but maybe just hide you drugs in your room and tidy that area yourself. Problem solved!

But that would require doing things that robots are for yourself. Just out of the question, really.

So Todd's drug use drove his wife away. And he used to work as a taxi driver? I think it was something with driving.

Kara is a 400, David was a 600 and the 700s seem to be just coming out, so she was probably bought when Todd had a job and a wife, and then he lost his job to automated cars, took up drugs and drove his wife away. Did he pay to have Kara repaired, or was she under warranty? Maybe his wife pays child support.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Huh, I thought that watching Bryan Dechart (Connor's actor) play through this game with his fiancée who also had a role in the game which I won't mention at the moment because it would kinda be a spoiler would be the sole VA related stuff I would see with regards to Detroit, but I guess not. He's spun that into like 140k+ subscribers on Twitch, but he's finished the game now so we'll see how those numbers hold up.

Apparently, he and Clancy Brown ad libbed portions of their dialogue and had to fight David Cage to keep those bits in because he didn't like that they deviated from his script. Those tended to be some of the best parts though, the bromance felt more real there.

Looking forward to seeing more behind the scenes stuff and your reaction to when the trademark David Cage train wreck comes barreling down the tracks. I've watched enough play throughs of this game with the SBF and Bryan Dechart among others, plus the Giant Bomb Quick Look to know what's coming.

I love Clancy Brown in this game because it's so amazing to see a voice actor transition to stage (esque) acting so well. I would love to see him and Troy Baker to play dual leads in a game.

This is easily David Cage's best game, but it's unfortunate your sister's role becomes less and less thematically important as the game goes on. She's a good actress and I hope her career continues to take off!


(Idk exactly how mocap works, but if those facial tics and animations stem from your sister, please give her props from me! Kara's facial acting is very well done and I firmly believe that's difficult for a stage trained actor to fine tune)

The biggest obstacle to David Cage's games being good is David Cage. He has a relatively poor grasp of English and is very weird and creepy, so giving him control over anything without editors is a recipe for disaster.

This game has so many well directed scenes and a lot of talent went into it, but the writing is still just awful. If QD kept getting this level of support from Sony and Cage had the decency to take a more background role they could probably make the best interactive-story-game ever. It's just that he won't. Everything you read being said by and about the guy makes him sound like a control freak who is convinced he's some great auteur and becomes frustrated if anyone else tries to bring in their own vision.

Episode 4 with Coolguy joining me spends a lot of discussion time on red ice. Do you want to make your own fictional drugs? Maybe don't include face-melting acids in the list of ingredients. Unless you want to have a face-meltingly good time watching Dishonored or Dishonored 2 or Prey. Then you can watch his LPs while doing fictional drugs.

Also the audio balance should be fixed for this. Next up: fixing the bitrate. It's almost like I started this LP around my sister's availability and not my own technical preparedness. Thank you all for your patience.

seriously, hydrochloric acid is one of only 7 acids on the planet that completely disassociates in aqueous solution. literally every single hydrogen in red ice is going to become H+ and burn the absolute gently caress out of any reactive surface, which, spoiler alert, is basically every wet surface in and on your body. and then you've also got a bunch of chlorine, Cl-, which is no picnic itself, either! at least use one of the literally dozens of weak acids! carbonic acid at least would've been both a weak acid that also at least PRETENDS to fit with the chemical formula for this poo poo you pasted up!

i'm not even gonna touch the fact that there's loving nail polish remover in it too, above and beyond the strong carcinogenic compound.

Coolguye, you ever calm down long enough to maybe think that the game made a bullshit chemical compound in their game so morons don't try to replicate it and try it for real? Like in payday the meth lab level has you make meth, but the only ingredients are Oxygen, Hydrogen, Sodium and Chlorine. Which makes salt water.

Flip side I guess this isn't a great answer if some moron really does try to make Red Ice and ingests it.

Thanks, I tried to find a link to the quote myself but kept finding other Cageisms instead and at that point it's like, how mad do I need to be this evening?

EDIT: Is there some kind of dedicated thread to talking about what an utter moron this guy is? At first when I read statements like him not only blanket denying his work being derivative of any other scifi movies/games* but also having the gall to accuse Ex Machina of being a ripoff of Detroit's tech demo... well, I figured he must have trying to make some kind of rivalry joke in context. Then I kept going deeper into the rabbit hole and goddamn

*He only ever name drops the top 3 that come up when you google "most notable scifi authors" (shame on interviewers for not digging deeper when he does that, you know there's some amazing material in his literary interpretations).

in a great example of something i didn't have time to say:

if your primary thought is making a safe chemical compound, you absolutely would not be putting the idea of loving around with hydrochloric acid or toluene in peoples' heads. both of those are dangerous enough on their own that they can cause disfiguring burns and chronic health problems, respectively. payday 2 also had people messing around with hydrochloric (muriatic acid is just another name for hydrochloric) but that was a game where you shoot cops and are making literal meth. the literal meth part alone gives them a pass on science since it's a real world drug, but even given that, the payday 2 thread here on SA, the subreddit, and the 4chan threads all had hearty lols about that from a chemistry perspective regardless. as did i.
