Miss people to talk with


Um, I'm at a point in the game where all of the kids 'cept for you and Lili are mindless zombies...the two agents are gone, and the only one 'round to talk is the old guy. Does the game stay like this for long? A lot of the kids and counselors had kinda little mini storylines with funny stuff to say, and it seemed like they all "disappeared" in a hurry. In fact, one moment 3 or 4 kids were brain-dead, and now they ALL are. Did I miss something in between levels? Should I go back?

Well, this is the part in the game where you leave the camp and go explore another region, which does have some funny characters in that you help, each other an amusing mind-world. And then you start the 'boss-zone' of sorts where the game turns from 'exploding birds and punching campers' to trying to defeat the evil bad guy from your ...meat-dream thing.

It does happen rather fast though, but it's supposed to, since you don't really have any need to hang around camp after the kids get their brains stolen, you've got to go find those brains!

Surely that was no HUMAN BEE!

sure, but I haven't actually been playing for that long--only a couple days. I'm close to the boss level already? Sheesh, GTA San Andreas took me months to beat! I've been enjoying playing, but please tell me there's more to the game than this!

Oh yeah, there's a lot more! But you're at like the mid-point where everything turns dark because the Boss is starting his evil plan. It's a bit hard to explain without spoiling it, but trust me, the bits you'll play in the second half of the game are very fun.

Although the game is obviously a *beep* load shorter than GTA. GTA is like...I don't even know the proper term to desribe it's massive-ness. You want a game longer than that, get Morrowind. It sucks (I think), but it'll take you for *beep* ever to finish.

Psychonauts is a good length I think, because each level is beatable (although the last one is hard), but not waaaay to easy or quick. And a semi-short game means there's always room for Part Two!

Surely that was no HUMAN BEE!

If you want to see the kids in camp again, you should collect all the brains and return 'em to Ford. He'll put all the brains back in the kids and you'll be able to talk to them again anytime you want. And if you want to see all the stories the kids have, just go talk to them all after every little mission is done. You'll even unlock some cinema scenes by doing that.

What do you see inside the room?
There are some walls and some ceilings. Wait! Just one ceiling.
