And talk about a game full of mood whiplash! Goes from funny to dark to funny to dark to HILARIOUS. I really should be getting to bed, but here's a few highlights:
-->Opening cutscene is a call back to the shots of Doc's lab in Episode 1 -- only now it's Emmett's lab in 1931.
-->Proof I've been playing Alice too long -- I tried to get Marty to jump via spacebar. XD
-->Marty's new alias, thanks to Citizen Brown, is Yakov Schmirnoff. That's a vodka, isn't it?
-->I discovered much hate for Citizen Brown early on -- bastard took the step of chloroforming himself! And then hid him in a bathysphere, forcing Marty to take drastic measures to get him out.
-->A sliding walls puzzle near the beginning did me no favors -- especially after Marty glitched, walked up an invisible staircase, and got himself trapped. *facepalm* Had to restart.
-->Da da da daaaa -- Edna IS the Speakeasy Arsonist! And is a total fucking loon besides. You are so lucky Alice isn't in this game, girly.
-->Edna pulls the "What the hell is that" trick -- and they all fall for it! *facepalm* Marty, YOU at least should know better.
-->Get Emmett ready for his expo, and -- Holy Crap, it's Judge Brown! He's a fat guy with sticky-out ears.
-->Marty plays family counselor and gets them to make up. It's actually rather touching.
-->Emmett's invention flies, and -- SHIT EDNA JUST STOLE THE DELOREAN!
-->And Citizen Brown is fading out -- I had hate, but seeing Marty sitting there next to him, holding his hand. . . :(
-->Emmett's finally got the right hair! And he's full of sciency goodness.
-->Awww. . .Marty gives Emmett part of a newspaper article about him getting the key to the city, after having him promise not to look at it until he gets it. I SO wanted them to hug.
-->And -- our Doc's back, hooray! And here comes Willie, with the news that Artie indeed married Trixie to get her job back! Marty freaks, but we have bigger fish to fry. . .
-->As Hill Valley itself fades away! O.O
-->Turns out Edna Strickland ended up back in the past when Hill Valley was just starting out, started a new life as Mary Pickford, decided to burn down the Palace Saloon when Beauregard Tannen started building it (huh!), and managed to burn down THE ENTIRE TOWN. Good work, virtuous one.
-->Go back in time, stop Edna, nearly get ourselves killed playing the "sync the cars up to get her home" game. . .
-->Edna's in jail! With Kid Tannen! Hilarity!
-->But there's still that little problem of Artie marrying Trixie --
-->Oh hey, guess what Trixie's real name is? XD Sylvia! Sylvia Miskin to be precise. Marty has a minor BSOD when he realizes that he's seen Trix naked. And another one when Doc mentions taking pictures of her back in the past. Hehehehehe
-->Back in good old 1986, Doc reveals he has a semi-permanent residence in the present, and that the estate sale is now a garage sale. Also that his dad created a scholarship for young scientists. Awww. :) Even more aw-worthy, Doc was back in the past to finish a graduation present for Marty -- a complete biography of his family tree. He was looking for info on Grandma Sylvia. :D
-->And then Edna shows up with Einstein! What the -- she's a dogwalker now? And --
-->OMG SHE MARRIED KID TANNEN BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies* Marty and Doc's reaction is basically "We're going inside and forgetting we ever saw that."
-->Except that there's more hilarity -- here comes future Marty! Who needs help saving his twelve kids.
-M: O.O-
-J: . . .I like kids, but, uh-
-M: O.O-
-J: Marty?-
-M: O.O-
-J: I think we broke him.-
That's nothing -- TWO OTHER Future Martys show up and start arguing. XD Marty and Doc decide, "Oh, screw you all, we're having an adventure just for fun," and fly off into the sunset.
-->And then, after the credits -- TO BE CONTINUED. Wheee!
Aaand now I've stayed up way too late, so night all! Expect more Alice tomorrow!
