Interactive Friction: Episode 9: This Is Some Magical (Bull)Shit

Interactive Friction: Far Cry 3: Episode 8: I’m Done Having Fun
This is the part where the game artificially pads itself out by adding missions to the main story that do nothing to advance the plot.There really is no other reason to have Oliver's rescue by a sniper section aside from the designers making it so....
Interactive Friction: Far Cry 3 Episode 7: Landmine Marathon
In this episode, we have an escort mission, because of course we do.I make fun of the flamethrower mission, but it's actually a really fun mission. There's just something cathartic about setting flame to things. Of course, in real life, breathing in all the fumes...

We continue our playthrough of Far Cry 3 by sneaking onto a ship wreak after tripping our on drugs.This is one the first drug-induced hallucinations that we will experience in Far Cry 3. It also happens to be one of the most pointless hallucinations in...
Interactive Friction: Far Cry 3: Episode 2: Now, I Will Teach You The Takedown
We have been made aware of the audio issue where Sam's audio is significantly quieter than my own and that of the game. This episode was recorded before that issue was made apparent, so we didn't fix it for this. (It will be fixed for...

“What a Terrible Accident” Let’s Play Dishonored: Part 16: The Finale
The journey must have only taken an hour or two at the most. It's still clearly midday by the time we arrive, but it feels like ages. Hell, these passed few days must have shaved years off my life with all the stresses they've put...
