There's one more secret I feel I have to share with you:

I did not care for the Ultimate Modpack.

I love the characters, and their own sorta differences in playstyles, but I did not care for the UMP.

(Gets more in depth in article)


Why?

(Warning: My Opinion)

Main reasons would be that: I don't think the game needed to be longer than SOTWS is. Cause that was just the right amount.

That, and I don't think Edvinas wanted us to stretch these 3/4 sections we got in Chapter 1 this far. When it gets stretched too thin for time, I start losing the "survival" and "immersion" point of the game and it starts feeling like extra padding.

(I feel like this is partly on him for unintentionally manufacturing this madness because instead of making the new chapter, he's just remaking downtown cause apparently artists are never satisfied with how the original simple ones look, but that's another can of worms.)

(But then again he couldn't have predicted it would be this popular.)

What i'm saying is, if I have to see any more red/green of downtown i'm gonna lose it.

That, and conflicting artstyles with so many cooks in the kitchen, slightly breaks immersion when you can definitely tell a different artist made a fighter next to a base-game fighter.

"Muddy how can you even say that you haven't even finished it! THEY haven't even finished the game!"

"Muddy they poured their hearts into the art and everything!"

I appreciate that, I love the art and maps they made and everything. I just can't get invested into the gameplay.

But if there is one thing I like its the party members and their playstyles.

Maybe this is just me but I hate having to overthink whether I wanna keep a set of 3-6 characters that hate another party member's guts just because they have a jersey on or something.

Funny, i always come back to Timeless in Pointless. Elton was such a goat being able to reason with Geen on not leaving cause a fellow with a salted bathrobe wanted to come with. Any extra hands would be nice, and I love mix/matching different playstyles.

UMP kinda tries too hard to be "harder" by doing these conflicts. What would be fun is if I was able to have a reason option for a few of the characters, maybe pick 2-3 out of 6 or so that i can personally keep with if they have issues with someone. Hell, maybe even it buffs them cause of the friendship bond.

Maybe if that system was different I could give it a shot. But not spending forever downtown though. Probably gonna just gun Second Fold to reach the funny communist cyborg.

Anyhow, Yep, that's it. Thanks for reading.

Oh right: Copper Silver is probably my fav of the gang, might do a tier list for my favs. Copper, TV Guy and Wily Knight are my top 3.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a bit, got hooked on Battle Cats.

I did get my Birdie Hall plushie! (+Gangle)

I feel like I've been too apathetic recently. I know its because of college stuff, but I really do want to finish the rest of the BO Series, and move on to other stuff as well. I have videos set up but it takes a while to edit.

Fuck Caravan: A Fallout New Vegas rant about the worst tutorial for a card game known to man (See Article)

After the Eclipse, I got this strange and interesting plant for $1.95, what should I call it?

It won’t eat anything I give it though…

Not even a half hour after my last post, the power went out in the entire block

So I got someone on Etsy to make a little Jerry Cracker plush cause I wanted one. And I also got him a shirt because would be interesting to explain to my folks why I have a nipple'd Charlie Chaplain impersonator doll. I'll update later on.

Hope y'all didn't forget about me... Cause I haven't forgotten you! Oh, it's been so long since I last got in my account, but it's good to be back! So, so many things happened since my unexpected curtain call last year. Let me tell you all about it:

For the whole Rodriguez Route 2.0, I guess I kinda forgive him for that ending. Cause I think (I hope, I pray) that he finished it by a year later. Besides, we got so many other games to dig up! I got a couple options:

Before I did ship off my laptop I REALLY got into The Battle Cats again, got pretty far (Up to Into The Future 1) and learned how to seed track and get actually good Ubers.

So fixing the Laptop made me go cold turkey and cure my Battle Cats Addiction.

Another Channel Update: Now that I've beaten Fallout NV, I'll move on to my other projects and actually finish my BO series. I promise that the last 2 episodes will actually be pretty interesting to my Lisabros out there.
