Hey, I kinda like Sexy Rebellious Jodie in Like Other Girls. Although the chapter started off pretty bad. I had no smurfing direction or clue what I had to do or what the game wanted me to do. Then I smurfed up those random hicks.

Speaking of smurfing up people, I've hit my first real "goddammit, let me control it" moment in the game. I choked Jodie's "father" and stopped when she asked me to. However I changed my mind and reloaded and didn't stop because this time I wanted to kill him. I thought it was my choice to kill him or not. But nope, you stop either way, whether you do it yourself or the game forces you to. That sucks.

Jodie wields a gift - power to hurt those who hurt us. Maybe it says something about me but I'm very happy to use that gift. Blow their brains out, choke them, do whatever. No mercy.

But yes...where was the "rape" in Homeless? That was the best, mot atmospheric section by far, I will agree. But all that happened was I played a guitar and sang a song by Beck or somebody and then helped deliver a baby. Oh and saved my buddies from some gangbangers. Should have just killed those mothersmurfers earlier. Oh well....

Mostly I try to be as honest as possible with everyone. I told my homeless friends about Aiden and I was going to tell the one kid in Najavo but it got cut interrupted. The only thing recently I've lied about was I didn't tel Nathan that I saw anything when I did Flashback or whatever it is on the one thing. I figure Jodie would want to be....tactful?

And speaking of Navajo, I wasn't as sold on it as some others. It was okay but Homeless was better. I think maybe it just dragged on a bit too long for me. It was nice to see some happiness in Jodie's life however.I also only hugged the one guy because there ain't no romance there, come on.

I like Dafoe a lot but I'm pretty sure I heard his accent slipping in the one line before he goes and meets this Clayton guy. He said something like "I'll be back in a moment" and it sounded way different to me.

WOW, talk about whiplash. I cussed that Ryan guy out when he came to take Jodie away. I would have gone Carrie on him but the doc stopped me. But the whiplash comes in the form of "smurf you!!" and then "I wanna date this guy" next chapter. Kinda weird. I guess there is quite a span of time between the two chapters though and Jodie did seem to make a happy life at Welcome to the CIA.... I dunno. Also, is it optional what you take or do before leaving in Separation? I took the bunny. You gotta take the bunny. I was scared she might leave it behind but I picked it up again and put it in her bag.

I'm making Asian Beef for the guy because....well, I'd be happy with eating pizza with my GF but this is their "first date" and the guy wanted a fancy restaurant so.... Plus Jodie said it was quick and simple but it also sounds exotic. It asked me what seasoning to use though and smurf if I know. Maybe it said on the recipe but I didn't see it. Maybe Ginger? I didn't add anything. I also didn't have Aiden interrupt while Jodie and Clayton were talking. I just...I couldn't do that to her. Oh and I didn't say Jodie had time enough for a shower because....well, again maybe this says too much about me, but unless you're working out in the hot sun or it's been like a week, what's going without a shower? Jodie in her Elegant dress should be enough for any man of decent taste.

Okay I did have Aiden interrupt when they were eating and actually talked about him. Jodie said he didn't know who or what he was and then Ryan asked if he was there and I did something. Moved a plate maybe? Just to show a general annoyance. I just thought Aiden might be annoyed at being talked about in such a way.

Had Jodie kiss Ryan. Whatever my misgivings about the man, Jodie is clearly over-the-moon for him so what's one kiss? Only they start making out and it looks like things are gonna get hot and heavy. (Taking it a bit fast, aren't you guys?) Then I think Aiden interrupts....somehow and she starts crying and the jackass bails on her. If my girlfriend ever starts crying and I take that as a cue to bail, I should be shot.

Oh no! The blooming romance with Clayton went...about as well as I expected. I mean, I saw Salim being this Jamal's son coming a mile away but I didn't think it was some smurfing Cold War Era CIA trout with murdering a guy we just didn't like. I honestly thought it was just some random warlord we were offing. smurfin' government. They engineered Jodie's birth or something too, didn't they? There was like one scene forever ago implying that. Anyway, the whole Middle East mission took way too long and the only parts I liked were the last bits with Salim and the ending.

And speak of the devil. I mention not seeing much about Jodie's mom and then, boom, Jodie's mom. I dunno if it's optional or not but I had Aiden put her out of her misery. And then of course she gets caught immediately after. Saw that coming. Now we're off to destroy a country's Condenser while the Evil USA is building the best one ever. What could go wrong? I'm still not sure if Nathan is gonna turn out to be evil or not, or at least more of an asshole than he seems.

I gotta admit, despite my loathing of Ryan, I liked The Dinner chapter. It felt teh most like something from Heavy Rain, if that makes sense.

Think I'm gonna stop there for tonight. Tomorrow I get Mass Effect Trilogy and maybe beat Beyond.
