Several people do. Hope you all had a good new year's.

I would say the same. I have never played SCO and likely never will, so I have no context to understand the very brief details you are reporting. Let's Play threads are, by necessity and design, supposed to be very detailed (if not about the entire game, at least about the focal aspects of the LP); ...

That was always my interpretation. Based on the Bukowski incident, whatever was attacking isn't using projectile weapons. The weapons damage to everything always seemed like the Androsynth trying in vain to defend themselves.

What? Puppets?! Never mind, I’m out. Trust me, that Syreen puppet is the stuff of nightmares. Darn. I have a real fetish for sexy puppets. Just kidding. …or am I? The Arilou puppet is equally terrifying at times. Lord only knows what the designers were thinking with these. Interesting. Perhaps this...
