In Response To: Re: Tycho's Wrath on Foe Hammer (Martin)

: Dammit, so I had a nice lucid response almost finished and then NVidia did a
: force restart for updating drivers ... okay I started it running, but
: still, would have been nice to have a warning. NVidia circuits - can't
: stand 'em!

: Try again.

Though the alternative is AMD/ATI circuits, which is probably worse. :) In my experience anyhow.

: Maybe Blake went to some effort to ensure we would see that message -
: infiltrating Tycho's terminal in the first place? Is lt kent another
: person or just code for us? It has been discussed before - is Blake even
: real or just Durandal trying to appear dead while still appealing to our
: "humanity"? I guess here he doesn't quite have a reason to play
: dead yet.

I get the sense that we're reading an older message. Maybe not more than a few minutes, but one left behind from Blake to Kent (I'm a surface level kinda guy; I assume Blake is real and Kent isn't ME) with instructions to teleport from Durandal's ship to Tycho's ship. This message ends with the all too familiar "spurious interrupt" though, which makes me wonder if Durandal redirected us. His message on Foe Hammer though sounds almost surprised however (though, hey, Durandal. Who knows).

I guess what I was really hoping for was some secret knowledge from the mouth of Greg Kirkpatrick or Chris Giesel saying there was originally a level between the two that got cut. That would satisfy MY particular brand of OCD.

: There's also the large airlock door just past the terminal, which we can open
: (and get trapped behind) - is this a sign that we're letting Blake and co.
: in? Again, is it wilful? We're just a Security Officer who likes to hit
: switches :D.

It is my very favorite thing! Thwunk!

: Then we have the idea of memories across timelines. I saw The World's End
: last night - great film btw - and without getting too spoilerish,
: something about "robots with selective memories" could have
: meaning here. Clearly the player remembers things from other timelines in
: Infinity, but does the Security Officer?

Now that's an idea worth some consideration. (consideration pending...)

: Why does Durandal even think we'll just switch to his side? If M2 is
: deprecated at this point, our relationship with him was still about
: following orders because we had no choice back in M1, and his last message
: had him taking off in the Pfhor ship and not really caring what happened
: to us. Does he remember stuff from other timelines, where we got on
: better? Or is it something in the circumstances that led to our being
: woken up by Tycho in this timeline?

It is strange that the BoBs forgive us for killing so many of them in the previous level. It seems like you're not prepared by the exit terminal for friendly BoBs. The first time I played Foe Hammer I shot up many a BoB, and wondered vaguely why they weren't putting up much of a fight.... ah well.
