Episode 9: Tram Ride to Space

This is another episode where a lot happens in a short time. We go from a train to a tank thing to space in less than 25 minutes. This is also where I get upset with the game at times. There are a few mechanics, mostly around changing out weapons that cause a lot of anxiety and my immediate reaction is to start repeating the word "Fuck." A lot. The upside is that you start to see what I've been talking about most of the game where it can get stupid hard later on. I had six attempts at one section in the video, which I think is double what I've had to go through at any other point of the game. I think the final boss is the only one who kills me more than the one section.

I also almost screw myself with a quick save, so if you thought I was being smart about those saves you get proven wrong this video.
