Let's play Hired Gun, a very happy game!

~*YAY*~ :DD

2nd option won, I think...?


The forum people disagree with you on that.

Holy shit he can cut a guy's arm off with a dagger and jump out the window on the 27th floor and live.
He's still kind of dumb but the dude's sturdy, that's for sure.



Less chatting, more jumping out of windows. You have less than five minutes go go go.


The choice that increases Black Thunder's affection is the third one because he totally digs selfless (read: idiotic self-sacrificing) chicks~
And in case you're wondering, no they can't disable the bomb since they don't even know what room it's in and if they had enough time to escape by elevator then that dude wouldn't have gloated. Also fuck stairs.

3rd option~~~

...what? i want CG

Could you perhaps link me, please? My curiosity has won out; I hate being left out of any loops~

I agree 3rd option, we didn't suffer through all of this for no mix-matched romance!

Haha, oh the second option.

Meh, third option for the CG. I also want to see how their romance goes.

Let her embrace sweet, sweet death and put the character out of her misery.
The misery she would have if she had any emotions, anyway.

Well ... my reading comprehension failed. Must be the beer.

To be clear ... is this one of those choices where there actually isn't a choice, because the game says "FUCK YOU, CHOOSE AGAIN", and sends you back here after taking away the "wrong" choice you just made?

that would be ''railroading''
telling you now to save you from typing all that again later

Nope, this actually is a choice~ A dumb question, a dumb question, or a dumb suggestion~ You end up jumping out the window either way. Not like a boss.

Well, then my answer is "whichever choice results in the highest body count".

You might actually want to be left out of this one D: Usually I would warn people about taking what this guy says with like, a truckload of salt, but you know his game and you know LSF, so you will probably know whats what. You might be able to ask for his game links there, though I wouldn't count on him helping you. He was always a bit like that, even though it was his own game :/ Also, BEWARE THE RANTING (mostly about religion and vegetarianism).

... Man, and I used to respect this guy for his work ethic. 9u6

"truthaboutrenpy"?? THAT'S a bad sign, right there.

I think I will be opting-out of The Crazy.

"Because if you ask for my opinion, whatever this *Holocaust* is, slaughterhouses are worse than it."

I have no words.

Oh man, on one hand it's kind of derailing the thread. On the other hand:
"PyTom is a Satanist" as an article title.
If only he could give his games hooks like that.

I laughed. Irony is overflowing.

Expectation: Glorious trainwreck.
Reality: Guy eats paint, writes VN.

0________0

There is no funny, only pain and suffering.

Oh goodness, I've seen this guy around the Lemma Forums. He is kind of a trip.

To be honest, that's a bit like saying water is 'kinda damp.' Also, just caught up with the thread... the fuck.

I had this whole rant written, mainly about the lack of any consistency in anything (an example being the backgrounds, where they switch between radically different artstyles) but I ended up deleting it all because... The fuck.

I pick whatever makes this story go out in a blaze of glory. Or, at the very least, a blaze of interesting.

True that. I honestly haven't played any of his games because he always came off as pretty much 'Cray Cray Town USA'.

Yeah.... I actually kinda dove into the crazy, thanks to that link Auro posted.... I should not have done that. It's telling that it seems the first couple links that he brings up in that latest post... appear to be from his own locked forum threads. That... That's not showing that there's an issue with anyone other than you, sir.

I kinda feel bad for him, actually. Kinda.

Just let her die, Black Thunder. And I don't mean that in the self-sacrificing way, I mean leave her behind because apparently you're too incompetent to DO YOUR FUCKING JOB SO YOU BROUGHT IN A FUCKING CIVILIAN AND I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE'S LIVED THIS LONG.

Auro what have you done I told these people what he already did and now they all be cray cray up in here

Also 3rd CG because DEATH GODAMMIT LET HER DIE

I can't believe how awful this is. Stilted language, repetitive structure, and a plot entirely devoid of either dramatic tension or narrative sense.

I am literally speechless. I've gazed into the abyss and OHGODITSEESME.

I warned them D: Plus, it is really the only way I know of tracking him down if someone was set on trying to find the sequels. That or asking someone who might have downloaded them.

I do believe I must go on a journey of self-reflection after this. Quite.
Meanwhile, in fiction!


Robinette.

Black Thunder, I never knew you were interested in linguistics~!



Breakdance, obviously.

Or that.
Prays that he slings her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes instead of carrying her bridal style.



Included because it's narmtastic.

Thanks Sergeant Redundancy.





Freezing, to be exact.

No, really? I thought we would teleport there.

Really? Really?

Thank you for that insightful comment.

Robinette just close your mouth. Please.


Ah right, that plot point. This might actually be interesting~!


Camille's a pretty name~



Robinette he knows your full name, he's part of this huge organization thing, and the internet exists. Not hard to find out these kind of things.


... Dead parents and dead little brother, only alive because she didn't go with them, dear god she is bizarro Cheryl.

-- WHAT

HOSHIT, CAPS LOCK

YES YES GO ON


Meaning police officers and whatnot, not random old ladies from around the neighborhood, I assume.




A swear and an exclamation point. Whew boy. -fans self-

Okay what. Robinette never knew that.
Black Thunder explains that they were secret agents. Okay that explains everything.


Shame, the good mad scientists almost always stay good. It's the normal scientists that turn evil and mad at the same time. Shame shame.


Them specifically? Really?

And Herbert just accepted it? "We wish to kill your friend and her family" "50 mil" "deal" "cool"

Carter Acton is a cool name and all but no pseudonym or anything? Not even a porn name?


"Why not?"

... Soooo he just shot his parents to death and let him live. Yeah no way that could go wrong.


NO WAY THAT COULD GO WRONG

I must say this is the biggest twist the game pulled yet. Not entirely sure how to feel about it, though, for reasons you soon will see.



What why
Why can't Robinette be Batman


But. But. He killed her parents.
Robinette's head must be spinning with all these new revelations and emotions, why she even knows the name of the man who killed her family--

'KAY.

A sibling reunion~! Awww this is going to be nice--

...
You're a dick, you know that?


Yes, we know that.

... OUT THE WINDOW (like a secret agent man)



Code. What.
Oh right this is basically an action movie except not a movie and no on-screen action.

Black Thunder you better not challenge this guy to a knife fight.

WHOAH NELLY, A GUN
THIS SHIT IS INTENSE, YO






"Black Thunder shoots Herbert and kills him."

Yes! Yes! You finally just shot someone who was openly hostile to you!

This game is weird.
This game makes me want to cry because it is so strange.
Maybe I will cry.

This should totally be a movie. Starring Kevin Costner (or was it Nicholas Cage? I always mix them up..) and Kristen Stewart.

All I want is for this to be re-released with voice acting.
The most passionate and action filled voice acting VNs have ever known. Where EVERY sentence ends in at least one exclamation mark.

Last 100 screenshots ahoy~

Robinette's as good at monologuing as usual.

You can say that again.



Maaaan Robinette just found out her brother died again just a little while ago.

Angst what angst


Wouldn't they also keep searching in other countries?

Oh hey another quality sprite from YonYonYon, I assume~ Yay~


Oh cool, she's good at her job (?)

Who dat


Nepotism nepotism nepotism. Where would the crime world be without you.


!!!



This
This is the game's insufferable bitch.

The fact that he was able to survive is what worries me.

... Really, Black Thunder
Really


REALLY



Her reasoning: "He is an assassin with a good record. Therefore I love him"
... Black Thunder and Red Water might have actually been the best in their forces...


Lady, do you really think this guy over here is going to take time out of his day to even just sign a bunch of forms with you when he could be out there being monotone and dramatic at the same time

Jumping to conclusions, I see. Is Robinette really that insanely hot?




Yeah this is a completely platonic relationship free of Stockholm's Syndrome or Lima Syndrome.

Eres loca.


That is a legitimate reason.


That's three question marks. Three of them. Calm down, girl, you'll give yourself a migraine with all that confusion.

She finds compassion unsexy, it seems.



Imagining her with a high and nasally voice. Kind of like mine

Yeah, because Black Thunder isn't craz--

DUMBASS




ANOTHER SUDDEN KNIFE FIGHT
I CAN'T


Thinking that her love is a privilege. Yep, totally the insufferable bitch.

Black Thunder demonstrates his saneness by bluntly telling the insane bitch off


Couldn't even chop it off?


What.



Insufferable bitches all fighting dishonorably with modern weapons and not one-on-one knife fights

You guys? Maybe you should stop arguing because I think a volcano exploded somewhere.
Seriously, there is ash everywhere. Even all the trees are coated with it.

She's got a good point there.


Your cray-cray boss.


Suddenly!

IT'S THE PO-PO

Nonono, "the police" is plural, "the police department" is singular. "The police are here" and "The police department is here."

And then they flee, like Chanseys in the Safari Zone.


I could criticize the intensity of the shading and the angle and Robinette's outfit but keep in mind that the artist had to communicate with the author for this CG.
That in itself is something that deserves praise.


!!

Victory!



In case you forgot that Robinette's here against her will.

wow he's crying
she's crying
I don't know how to feel about this

but wow, isn't it fucking cold there?

Robinette's shoulders could win a Mr. Universe contest.

But why aren't you bleeding...?

"You are the main male protagonist. You deserve peace and women."
^ Not in the actual game ^

-- Maaaaaaan, why didn't you tell us you were an orphan? You and Robinette could have bonded over your lack of parents!


Victor you're severely underestimating this girl's capacity for forgiveness ("guy was paid to kill my parents? 'kay")

I AM OTOME PROTAG MY WORD IS LAW


... towards them so she can go back home?


Ah, so the police in this universe are totally incompetent.



Victor Lance
You really don't get what's inside her head, do you

She is otome protag. Live with her or die with her. This is not one of those games where the main male character dies and the female is depressed for a long while but goes on a journey of self-discovery and slowly heals and at last thanks him for all the happiness he brought while he was still alive.

Dicks

... Only two? Really?

Fair trials, who needs 'em



Thank you, thank you~ Well now that that's over and done with time to wipe this game from my hard drive!

I can honestly say this is the first time I have regretted being literate.
