Community Playthrough No # 24: I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Finished the game. Finally.
I’m almost as slow as diego…....
I actually didn’t like the bad ending because they show you the blob you’re turned into. The description that ended the short story worked a LOT better if you had to visualize it yourself. It was also much scarier that way. It made the last sentence (the title) that much more chilling. Here it missed its effect somewhat…
Thanks for leading the playthrough, Sefir. Sorry it took me so long to finish.
No, you are not. Thank God!!:)
About the ending: IMO the original description in the book was always quite rediculus in my mind and thus not really intimidating or scary. The same applied for the last sentence where I found it just a writer’s trick and nothing more. However in the game, both the visual approach and (mostly) the superb voice acting, Ellen excepted, (Was I the only one who liked more turning Nimdok into a slug, since the last monologue suits him much more than the rest of the characters? Surely more than Ted in the original script) made the whole experience more…horrific.
It is always a pleasure to see someone finish a past CP. Perhaps we should take you and diego (though there is no salvation for him :p ) into consideration when we decide the voting periods between each playthrough. 
Hey, my playthrough fell apart last year because my daughter was born and that usurped most of my game time for quite a while.
In fact, it was really only after the World Cup (an event for which I forced free time in my schedule) that I started playing games again. And I continued/finished this in-between the other CPTs I took part in (and where I did mostly stick to the schedule)... 
So actually, yeah, longer periods between CPTs would suit me fine. 
About Nimdok: I liked his voice acting, but the German English felt too forced, like a bad Schwarzenegger-impersonation, which hurt it somewhat.
Also, he got turned into that blob a couple of times in my playthrough as well. I think Benny and Gorrister are the only ones that never suffered that fate in my game.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
