Time for episode 2. SPOILERS INCOMING.

For FUCK'S SAKE. Why did they bring back HIM?! HE was clearly my least favourite character in season 1 - even more so than fucking Larry and Lily! There is NO way that BADASS Clementine is ever going to agree to his retarded plans or even be civil to him in any way. Fuck me, I am waiting with baited breath for ANY opportunity to fucking kill him!

On a lighter note, has anyone else noticed that Clementine has adopted a new facial expression? It could just be the BADASS Clementine persona face, but every other shot of her, she's doing THIS:

This is a screenshot of my results from Episode 2:

That's what I like to see; in the minority for 4 out of 5 choices. :)

Took the blame for Sarah's photo: I couldn't have Carlos getting angry with Special Sarah, now could I?

Sat with Luke: Ha yeah, fuck off. Like I was going to sit with that fucking prick. I now correct my statement from the last episode: Nick is my SECOND most hated character in season 2.

Told Walter the truth: He deserved to hear the truth. Besides, I was hoping he'd slit Nick's throat or something equally entertaining.

Let Walter make up his own mind: I just sat back with my fucking popcorn and watched the show here. I was just waiting to see what happened. :)

Stayed to help Carlos: Fuck Kenny, he can get his balls bitten off by a grizzly bear or a pack of walkers for all I care.

Episode 3 is next. :)

So, as some of you might know, the 5th and final episode of The Walking Dead series 2 came out this week. I'd previously purchased the season pass, and laid in wait for almost a year for all of the episodes to come out. There was no way I was going to wait months apart for the next part of the damn story - which is exactly what I did for season 1 as well. 

And fuck me, I am so glad I waited - some of these bloody episodes end with mega cliffhangers - I would have smashed my Xbox if I'd finished episode 4 and didn't have episode 5... Holy shit. 

Anyway - those of you who followed my choices from season 1 know exactly how I feel about certain characters - particularly those who made a comeback for series 2. As you play as Clementine this time, I chose to make her personality and choices a total BADASS. You may have heard of the Scumbag Lee/Scumbag Clementine videos on YouTube (where someone made the most evil and selfish choices possible for every choice), but I toned some of it down. If I hated a character, I fucking let them know, but I managed to form some friendships and alliances.

I instantly liked Sarah - who my friends and I nicknamed Special Sarah - for obvious reasons... So, I decided to drop some of the BADASS Clementine persona to be nice to her. 

I started playing episode 1 around 2PM and finished episode 5 at around 9PM - baring in mind, stopping for food, piss and shower breaks. So, series 2 is shorter than series 1 - and I found it easier, now knowing the gist of things. I also noticed a slight re-vamping of some of the quicktime events - they now include some random control-stick whacking parts.

Anyway, enough bullshit - on with my choices. It goes without saying that there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS.

This is a screenshot of my results from Episode 1:

I noticed that I was in the majority for 3 of 5 choices this time... I can imagine that these stats have a lot less people factoring in - I can assume that more people played season 1 - and can also guess that many people like me decided to wait until all 5 episodes were out to play season 2.

Stopped to help Christa: Well, of course! She'd been with me for like 2 years, she was my "group", technically. Also, she seems to have lost a lot of her major bitch vibes since season 1.

Killed the dog: Sam, you little shit! After I petted you, played frisbee with you AND gave you some of my beans, you chomp the shit out of me? You're lucky I chose to put you out of your misery, I could have left you to die slowly... But after all, I am BADASS Clementine. :)

Did not accept Nick's apology: Fuck you Nick, you are a total COCKHOLE. Instantly, you have become my least favourite character.

Refused water: This fucking guy - he was one of the scavengers who attacked Christa. Yeah, fuck you, like I'm going to share some precious lifeforce with you.

Went with Pete: I don't care if Pete was bitten; there was NO FUCKING WAY I was going with that cockhole across the river. 

Stay tuned for episode 2!

Glitchfest: Fallout 3 - Stuck Mirelurk

While replaying Fallout 3 recently, I was exploring an underground compound absolutely chocka-block with bloody Mirelurks. I was challenging myself by playing on Very Hard difficulty for the first time (I'm a boring twat who normally sticks to the standard of Normal) - and I was a really low level. It seemed like a given that I was going to get massacred by these crab fuckers. So, as a last resort, I jumped off a platform and into the water below, hoping that they wouldn't follow me.

They didn't - because THIS happened:

Even after I shot the shit out of him, he was still stuck on this pipe, and only fell down into the water once he had been killed. Awesome - a freak glitch occurrence saved my arse. :)

Pokémon Yellow Nuzlocke Challenge: Part 5

I fill the empty slot in my team with WHACKA, who I level up a bit on a nearby route until he evolves. Then I head into Saffron City. Spoony has a lot of fun pissing all over the blackbelts in the Fighting Dojo. I choose the Hitmonlee as my reward (because I normally pick Hitmonchan), I named him SLINKY. (Because his legs look like slinkys, right?)

Right, time for the Silph Co. Headquarters and its ridiculous teleport pads...

Well actually, I know which teleport pad is the one that leads you straight up to where your rival is waiting and the direct route to Giovanni. It's this one:

Regardless, Spoony easily dispatched the many, many, many poison types - which seems to be the Team Rocket standard. I managed to level up all of my main team (Spoony, Pinpoint, Leviathan and Spike) to level 40. We're awesome. :)

So, I grab the free items and of course, the Master  Ball - and quickly condemn it to the PC storage; for it is NOT ALLOWED. I also take the free Lapras from the Silph employee guy. She's going to be used as a lovely HM slave, namely for Surf and Strength. I name her MINERVA. Guano had eventually bloody evolved, so I replace him with her. :)

Finally, to complete my visit to Saffron City, I go to battle Sabrina. As this is the 1st generation, Psychic types have no glaring weakness, except shitty bug types - so I just battered the twats with the strongest attacks I had at my disposal - i.e. Thunderbolt, Dragon Rage, Thrash etc.

I feel that I should also mention that I finally found a GBC link cable on eBay. It took forever to get here, because it came from China - but I'm scared to try it... I can so see it not working, just like my other one... Gah, I just want a goddamn Alakazam!

TEAM: 6

STORAGE: 16

DEAD: 2

CURRENT TEAM: 

TL;DR:

GIFT - Hitmonlee, level 25, SLINKY

GIFT - Lapras, level 15, MINERVA

[Part 4]

I'VE CAUGHT POKÉRUS!!

I took a little break from my Pokémon Nuzlocke challenge to... play some more Pokémon? I finally convinced my fiancée to play a Pokémon game with me; so I chose the BEST one of course, SoulSilver and HeartGold. We'd previously had a go at playing through together, but I got too far ahead of her and she got discouraged - so now we play it together only when we see each other at the weekend. I even bought a Pokéwalker - something I previously had no interest in, so I could get some of the unique items and Pokémon.

(For those who were following my Nuzlocke Challenge, be patient - I WILL finish it, I've gotten the correct link cable and everything to evolve my Kadabra.)

Anyway, on our first day of playing, no less than 2 hours in... My starter Pokémon caught fucking POKÉRUS!!!!

Pokérus has something like a 1 in 22,000 chance of occurring, compared to the 1 in 6000-od chance of finding a shiny Pokémon. I've never found a shiny Pokémon before (with the exception of the dumb shiny Gyarados, of course.)

The only advice I can offer to anyone who wants to catch Pokérus legit is to NEVER RUN. If you run from a wild encounter, you will NOT catch Pokérus; you need to either catch or knock out the infected wild Pokémon. I never run from a wild battle anyway, but I was grinding levels on one of the earlier routes, went to check on my Quilava's stats and noticed the lovely purple marker.

I then proceeded to infect every single Pokémon who went through my team and send Shelly an infected Pokémon in a trade. :)

For those who are unfamiliar with Pokérus, it's a condition that causes your Pokémon's earned EVs to double. They can only catch it once, they are infected to other Pokémon for a few days, then they become immune (which is marked with another symbol), but they still receive double EVs. I'm not a hardcore EV trainer or anything, but I do use the macho brace and vitamins to make my Pokémon somewhat better. :)
