"Agent York, please stop calling me...
Deadly Premonition. It’s my new favorite game. Destructoid gave it 10/10. To summarize that...
Mar 11th
[clan] Riff: oh man, Ben, we started Deadly Premonitions last night
[clan] lycrashampoo: ohhhhhh man yeah
[clan] Riff: there is some fucking craziness in that game
[clan] Riff: gameplay wise it's pretty playable, though. I'm actually enjoying playing it
[clan] lycrashampoo: there is a bit where you have to find this dude's keys
[clan] lycrashampoo: and there are like fucking five different squirrel keychains around the office
[clan] Crovax1234: ...
[clan] lycrashampoo: and if you bring him the wrong one he explains about how that squirrel and the squirrel he wants are different
[clan] lycrashampoo: while the squirrel-explainin' music plays
[clan] lycrashampoo: it wants to be Twin Peaks soooo badly
[clan] lycrashampoo: also Riff found a stash of infinite cans of pickles
[clan] Riff: my favorite is the doctor. You go to hear the coroner report, and the doctor is hiding. But he left you a chess puzzle to solve.
[clan] Riff: and that chess puzzle consists of identifying which chess pieces are which from pictures.
[clan] Riff: and when you've broken that terrifying code, you get a message
[clan] Riff: "The doctor is down below with the corpse."
[clan] Riff: And the Sheriff goes off, all totally pissed off about stupid puzzles when he's got an investigation going on, what the hell is this idiot code supposed to mean -hic-
[clan] Riff: and Agent Crazy has to gently explain that it probably means that the doctor is below, you know, in the basement, where the morgue is, and he's there with the corpse, you know, the body we're here to look at.
[clan] lycrashampoo: Riff started hitting himself at that point. Like, a lot.
[clan] lycrashampoo: oh oh oh and you get money for almost everything
[clan] lycrashampoo: like shaving, or checking the weather forecast
[clan] lycrashampoo: which is good 'cause four saltine crackers cost $35.56.
[clan] Riff: yes!
[clan] Riff: I bought a packet of four saltine crackers from a vending machine, and they cost $35.56.
[clan] lycrashampoo: Riff found a room you could peek into... like, out of all the rooms, this is the only one you can peek into, and he did
[clan] lycrashampoo: and NOTHING WAS GOING ON INSIDE
[clan] lycrashampoo: but he made like twelve bucks
[clan] Riff: In the evil Silent Hill lumbermill, I found a crate of infinite lollipops. Jenni was pissed because I was filling my inventory with lollipops instead of answering the ringing Plot Phone nearby.
[clan] lycrashampoo: dude that phone was driving me NUTS
[clan] lycrashampoo: like I was seriously looking around the room for shit to cave your skull in with
[clan] Riff: you just wait, someday my hunger meter is gonna go down and I'll wish I had more than the 24 lollipops that fit in my inventory, when I could have filled up my magic toolbox as well.
[clan] lycrashampoo: oh and the lollipops all look like Chupa Chups, which is cute
[clan] lycrashampoo: I think you will be all right.
[clan] lycrashampoo: I reeeeeeeeeally do.
[clan] Crovax1234: Hahahahaha. Infinite lollipops?
[clan] lycrashampoo: (the thing about Riff and infinitely spawning items is he WON'T STOP TAKING THEM until it tells him he can't carry anymore)
[clan] Crovax1234: I want this game now. SO BADLY.
[clan] Crovax1234: So, can you only hold 24 lollipops, or 24 items total?
[clan] lycrashampoo: items each have their own caps
[clan] Riff: I can't wait for the plot rail to go on hold for a while so I can cruise the town looking for trading cards and go fishing
[clan] Crovax1234: ... what
[clan] lycrashampoo: man I am looking forward to watching you pretend to fish
[clan] lycrashampoo: oh you didn't hear about the fishing minigame?
[clan] Riff: with my ludicrously expensive $20 worms
[clan] lycrashampoo: there is totally a fishing minigame. and a racing minigame.
[clan] lycrashampoo: *snort*
[clan] lycrashampoo: Those are just normal worms, too.
[clan] Riff: well, 20 for six
[clan] lycrashampoo: $120 for six.
[clan] Riff: and really it was something insane like $19.73
[clan] lycrashampoo: $20 is *per worm.*
[clan] Riff: no way, was it?
[clan] lycrashampoo: Yup!
[clan] lycrashampoo: I remember doing that math.
[clan] Riff: man those six worms cost more than the fishing pole did then
[clan] Riff: coz that was like $114.shinty-six
[clan] Crovax1234: Have you actually killed anything yet?
[clan] Riff: yeah, I shot some Juggalo ghosts in the face
[clan] lycrashampoo: ohhhhhh man yeah
[clan] Riff: there is some fucking craziness in that game
