Good to see you. Second, I don't think that in truth these out weight the bad endings I have experienced (your 5 plus my 4 or 5 don't out weigh my my 15 or so). Nor indeed are they good situations, though they could be improved to some compared to some points within the story. <strong>Returned home happy to wife and child having helped a friend out and defeated a big glowing man who was definitely not just a Dr. Manhatten rip off.</strong> Not sure I played this one, take you word for it sounds lovely I should give it a try. Let me know what it is. <strong>Escaped imminent death by zombie horde through helicopter, plane etc rescue and now has prospect of happy future in human safe zone of some kind.</strong> Only to again crash and have to escape in a constant loop of pain and suffering. <strong>Got stabbed in the heart a bit but saved best friends life and seemed to be well on the mend.</strong> But could well die and on the run from innumerable countries who are after my head. Plus not an improvement on my initial situation, but better than a low point I reached within the plot. <strong>Lost companion cube but gained freedom to be attacked by head crabs. WIN</strong> But you may have been dead. <strong>Listened to “ode to joy”. A lot.</strong> Okay you have me here, but doesn't really fit with the narrative driven games that were the focus. Should have been more clear on that one. Of course there is the chance I am just a horrible pessimist. Firstly, hey Scott! Good to see you.
