I remember reading a little bit of it and kind of stopped at some point in the "first part"(messing with the house or something dunno) / got bored

Apparently it becomes extremely awesome so I am going to tackle it again starting from the beginning

Also because I always have to make sure, you ARE reading the pesterlogs right?

Anyway if you can't tell it's going to be a little crazy. To say the least.

It's also possible that they skim them. I know that I skimmed the first few Dave conversations, because I didn't really "get" Dave at first.

hmm kind of meh but getting somewhat intrigued at the moment with the whole Skaia thing / what the **** is going on etc

Act 1 was annoying / bleh to go through up until the meteor part

currently at some point with Dave going to his BRO's room (and for some reason not noticing the meteors ****ing up everything outside)

Act 2 is where you begin to get an understanding of what's going on. Act 1 is almost a diversion from that (a distaction, if you will), but it still had some cool moments imo (like STRIFE, some parts of the game, and the ending).

Any thoughts on the characters yet, or have you not been acquainted with them long enough?

Hmm not sure they are all pretty ok / alright

atm I think I would put it

John
Dave
Rose

with John and Dave somewhat switching positions granted Dave hasn't really done anything major yet probably not the best time to really rank yet

currently at some point where John mounted his pogo stick of justice and stompd some shadow things

I liked Act 1 since I got to the first STRIFE! And then it kind of went "Eh" after that until John started up Sburb. Then it kept getting consistently good. So yeah, usually, people will start to like it once Sburb begins. The other really high point early on is when Dave is introduced, because it's f***ing Dave.

Yeah meant to WV

but this is what I got from it / guessing

WV travels to a new area (to him) on this ship (probably not a ship just calling it that. I am assuming that it is where it may have originated from since it went there when he typed in the HOME command) he travels through John's area (that got nuked from the meteor years ago but not many and shows how it changed over time apparently revealing a tree somewhat similar to what John created in ACT 1 I think. Waves to another random traveller or whatever and proceeds to the area

This area (now the island) I am assuming got nuked by a simlar event prior to the story

**** is going down at Rose's place and her mom is up to something (as well as someone else)

the dad is in the shadow / dark area or whatever and escapes / proceeds to kick ass

the bros prepare to face off

etc

also I assume the WV drawings will play some role / were hinting at something
