Omar Shakti Must Die
« on: October 31, 2010, 12:25:34 AM »
One of the most frightening things I've heard Ross Payton say:
The laws of physics are being...tested...in this area.

Also the following exchange was (to me) absolutely hilarious:
Karee: Do you want me to teleport you out of there?
Tom (into phone): Hold on a minute.
Tom (to recovering cultists): It's the twenty-first century!  SOME of us came prepared!
Tom (into phone): Yes, please.
I didn't come here to win. I came to make friends.

yes I too enjoyed that part of the game, putting them on hold and then just finaly asking why cant I just do it! This was one of the games we got in the Codex of war early, so its nice to see it come out, I forgot about it and enjoyed it all over again.

Karee's character dropped a nanoswarm on the shoggoth.

This was one of my all time favorite games, right next to Sucrose park and the Tom and Cody Fear Itself round.
The Characters were awesome, the action was gripping and the inter-character exchanges were top notch.
10/10 fanboy rating here.

The begining its a little off the wall, and you have to rember there playing realy OP people, once you get to chasing the ghouls its starts to go more serious.

I was the only character in both that game and in the Survival City game to used my investigative skills. Hence the joking around at the end of Survival City about it.
