I was at GDC when this went up, but better late that never.
This’ll probably be the last Dad-heavy episode for the next month or so; people dig him, but I don’t want to overexpose him. Three episodes in a row is probably pushing our luck.
My friend Justin Yngelmo really wrote 99% of this episode: when I got Heavy Rain, he came over and played it, doing exactly what Dad does in the video. Justin has a tendency to be as monstrous a human being as possible in games (if you give him a grenade, a baseball bat and an old lady, he’ll turn GTAIV into performance art), and this time around, that meant screaming “JASON” while running into the same comic book store eighty times.
Hahaha, “JASON!” “JASON?”"JASON!”
“JASON!”"JAAAASON!?”"JASOOOON!”"JASON!”
Aaron! AARON!
JAAAAASSOONN!!
JASON
LOL, he must have had a hell of a time taking care of the kid in the next scene
That was a nice suit.
Great episode. Makes me want to play Heavy Rain just to see how badly I can destroy the narrative. JASON!
It probably doesn’t say much for my mental state that I had argument, with myself, as to whether or not Papa Burch should have said Heavy Rain in the Homestar Runner voice normally used.
The argument got quite hectic and even (bizarrely) came to blows, but in the end I decided that Papa Burch changing his character to continue a running gag would compromise that character. Clearly, Papa Burch would never compromise*.
I wondered why the hell I was even thinking this, then looked to the seven cups of coffee and thought “Ah. That’d be it.”
* even in the face of armageddon.
I’m gonna buy this.
What’s the fun of a game where you just press X really fast?
Well I guess this video answers that question.
The first time I saw the him try to lift his kids I thought the same thing. Gay.
Hey there just came upon your website from Google after I entered in, “HAWP: Heavy Rain | HAWP” or perhaps something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). In any case, I’m delighted I found it simply because your subject material is exactly what I’m searching for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I gather some material from here and I will of course credit you as the reference. Thank you so much.
