crossover_chickNow that LJ seems to be more or less back up -- though I see some of the icons aren't showing up. Still, I'll take what I can get. Anyway, game thoughts:
-->Telltale, please don't start your game with an image that suggests your main character is dead. I was aware Marty HAD to be alive, but still, that was a creepy few minutes.
-->Punk rock Jennifer is punk rock. Prom photograph Jennifer is a zombie (from what I saw in the two seconds the full photo was on-screen).
-->I can't help but giggle at the fact that tire iron apparently survived from 1931. Telltale, you so crazy.
-->Why the hell does Jennifer have green eyes? (Answer from TV Tropes: she's a repurposed version of Trixie Trotter's model)
-->Smashed DeLorean -- not good. Marty even admits that, every time he drives the thing, something seems to break. You're bad luck, kid.
-->Okay, that battery really needed to be more visible. I didn't expect to get temporarily stuck on a puzzle THAT early.
-->I love Marty reassuring himself that no, he has not crash-landed into Hell Valley. Well, not the original Hell Valley.
-->Creepy Hill Valley is creepy. And too clean. And has a weird courthouse. And a weird statue.
-->Self-tour audios are funny, though. And you can clearly tell it's Edna, being her usual annoying self.
-->. . .Is it just me, or does the revamped courthouse actually look a bit like the Institute of Future Technology? Also, LOL Einy gargoyles.
-->Biff as a nice human being kinda creeps me out, and I can see it does Marty as well.
-->In case you were wondering, yes, they DO brainwash people in this world! Under the guise of "hypnotherapy" in the Citizen Plus program. Yup, Doc Dystopia, all right!
-->Slightly puzzling aspect -- most meat seems to be banned. I'm not sure why Edna's such a vegetarian, but. . . *shrug*
-->Original flavor George and Lorraine! They actually did a great job on Lorraine's model and voice -- it's not Lea Thompson, but the girl doing it definitely capture Original 1985 Lorraine's gravely tones.
-->"He's a peeping tom!" *snrrrk* Also, PEANUT BRITTLE. Telltale, you REALLY should have made that interactive.
-->Trailers always lie -- George is quite happy as a tool of the establishment, unlike what the trailer hinted. It's Lorraine who's on your side (more or less).
-->Oh, and Jennifer's dad makes an appearance! He's apparently Daniel Junior *makes a note of this for the Games-Verse family trees* and when he's not a cop in the Doc Dystopia, he's a shoe salesman.
-->GOD, that guitar battle took WAY too long to figure out, even with the hints! It's like Telltale is determined to put in one puzzle per episode that leaves me tearing out my freakin' hair. For the sake of saving everyone else my pain: Scissor kick RIGHT at the beginning of the battle, move toward Jennifer, ascend the platform, then, once you're up there, hop.
-->Citizen Edna is funny, but in a totally creepy way. I love her reaction to Stray!Einy after Marty gets his muzzle off and befriends him.
-->Citizen Brown's office is both awesome and terrifying. Also, Doc -- YOUR HAIR! YOUR BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL HAIR!
-TTV: You're not allowed to tease me about Rapunzel anymore.-
I can't give up that, the DVD just came out.
-->Portrait of Judge Brown and Emmett: CREEPIEST THING EVER. Though it is a bit LOLworthy that Marty says "So that's what Judge Brown looked like" when all you can see of the guy is his scary shiny glasses. At least, I ASSUME his eyes aren't two glowing holes. . . .
-->When Marty started to space out to the sound of the big clock ticking, I actually mildly panicked. "Shit this room is sapping away his free will gotta solve the puzzle" (Fortunately, it appears the clock is NOT involved with brainwashings)
-->Citizen Brown asking about his life in Marty's timeline: Heartbreaking. Especially when he says "Sons?" Yeah, I'm somehow not surprised he and Edna don't have kids. And Marty's enthusiasm over how cool his best friend is is just. . .awwwwww
-M: Well, he is cool.-
-D: *grin* *hug*-
-->Marty inspiring George to do the right thing via Arthur is kinda sweet. (And now I'm tempted to do a Games-verse fic or drabbles88 where Marty does his family tree and keeps talking about all his relatives like he knew them back in the day. . .)
-->I actually hesitated on giving Biff the old brainwash -- it just felt WEIRD. And him just going "Urrr. . ." afterward was -- *shiver*
-->*SNORK* Telltale calls a spade a spade -- one of the items you can use to distract Biff in Edna's secret lair? Clearly labeled PORN. Marty can also look at it afterward, though all he does is go "Wow!"
-->Edna, you are scary in your pursuit of eliminating all free will in favor of rules-following. Why did we save you from Kid Tannen again?
-->Citizen Brown's breakdown: More heartbreaking. Citizen Brown realizing his symbol of a perfect society is actually the flux capacitor: Yay!
-->The hints for holding off Biff when he wakes up again are hilarious. Even if you don't need them, go check them out.
-->EDNA YOU MONSTER WHAT DID YOU DO TO DOC!! YOU DIE, YOU DIIIEEEEE -- and you know the worst part? I thought she'd simply hurt him when I saw that image on the monitors. I didn't realize that Citizen Brown was getting Citizen Plused!
-->Episode 4 Preview Trailer: Edna in 1931 is a smug bitch about being Emmett's girlfriend. I so wish we could get Marty to hit her.
-->Horrible thoughts about Episode 4: I fear that we may have to have Marty more or less fight his own best friend. Imagine how that'll feel.
So yeah, dark episode is dark. I really don't know what's gonna happen with Episode 4. I just hope it involves something very painful for Edna Strickland.
