I'd love to be a part of a part II, it's gotta be on the weekend though I can't miss school.  :P

Send me a PM, since I'll probably immediately lose track of volunteers who end up posting in the thread.

For anyone else who wants to help in a less in-person way, I'd love to get *actual* letters submitted next time that I can read off.

Oh man what do you mean by letters? I have some stamps and am willing to write a love letter from a man to a wife. Or something like a kid to his parents. And will mail them direct to you

Did you see the first one? It was cast as responding to questions from the audience. I would like to respond to some ACTUAL questions from the audience. Email or pmed letters are fine, and I will probably tweak them for the video, but you will totally get to hear your name in it if I use yours.

Alright, so my first two days as a Razor Boy (Also, sadly, my longest game yet) were mostly pretty uneventful. Started near a small town, raided almost every house before a couple zombies showed up and I ran, slept in the evac center, decided to look for somewhere else, found a mine that I took shelter from acid rain from, etc.
However.
I came across a drug stockpile. The first corpse I inspect was mostly carrying normal stuff. Then I saw the clothing. The guy was carrying 5 bras, 11 pairs of cargo shorts, 1 pair of boy shorts, 4 pairs of sneakers, and 2 pairs of boots. What. The. Fuck.

Gangster hoes in the future have nine tits, eight feet, and twenty-two legs.

Maybe it was a woman's stash?  Shoes are important yo, backups stashed away are smart.

Iunno about not having any shirts though.

Quick question: What the hell does feinting do, and why does my character do nothing but that in combat?

If you miss a melee attack, feinting reduces the number of movement points that attack took. The amount seems to be variable.

Ah, public service announcement: There's a bug with the current in-progress z-level code (I'm assuming) that lets monsters teleport to stairs. Through impassable cages. I just lost a 1 year-and-a-season survivor to a mi-go while trying to get some computer skill in a lab. Fun.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I just had a bit of an interesting encounter with a mi-go. I had Insect Pheromones and the combat just plain ended after the first blows, jumping from "hostile" to "ignoring". I tried to [C]hat, but the game said I was just talking to myself. The mi-go just kept mimicking random English phrases as they do and I kept trying to talk for a while, then I just walked away to leave, but the mi-go screamed for me to stay, as if knowing what it just said.

I wondered what kind of a talk the pheromones had for me, then asked myself "Wait, it's an alien. Why does it use the same pheromones?" then after a few seconds realized that it's mimicking them just as well as the human speech, but actually has learned enough to understand them. This encounter taught it a lot, considering how it wanted me to come back and actually used a somewhat proper phrase for it.

This is the kind of mi-go I'd like to see even without the pheromones; it's more faithful to Lovecraft's works. They want to learn, not eat your guts (dissect, maybe, but they should have plenty of dead bodies already due to the cataclysm), and to do so they might talk to you even without understanding. You'd think a survivor of the cataclysm would be a particularly interesting subject for their science.

Ok, I had to screencap this, because its so ridiculous.



According to my status right now, having 2 leg encumbrance is adding over ONE TRILLION movement point cost to swimming.

I'm assuming this is a bug. I have no idea if this is just a display thing or if it would actually take until the heat death of the universe to take a bath, but either way, something has gone very wrong.

I'm playing an experimental, it should be the last one from...I think two days ago? So this could actually be fixed by now, but still, hilarity has ensued.

It's...
beautiful.

Try going for a quick dip in your nearest not-very-infested body of water.

Make a new character, debug in some pants, and go take a swim?

Or just copy the save folder somewhere safe. That's what I do.

Definitely post this on the bug forum. That is pretty hilarious though.

Also, IcyTea31 has convinced me I should do the next series of episodes in the format of a call-in show instead of answering letters. Which means people who want to be in the show can actually be in the show *without* having to physically travel! :V
