Description
A couple of years back, the How To Play strips caught the attention of the (Now defunct) games magazine, Play.At the time, I was working for Rare, and therefore; Microsoft. Which meant I couldn’t say bad things about their products in an official capacity, lest they cry and send someone over to set me on fire.
This rather limited the games I could turn into HTP strips for actual publication, so I came up with a couple of new ideas, one being; spoof games promotions.
Play* (and all its sister magazines) sank back in February…….this had nothing to do with me!
(Though, there is a worrying trend forming. A couple of years after I applied to Free Radical Design, it went down. Then, after being cut from Rare, I applied to RealTime Worlds….)
*That's the American incarnation I'm talking about. Play UK is still up and running.
Edit: Jeezus christ. Shut up about Louis and the damn pills!! The sound-bite that kicks in when pills are found depends on the character closest to them. When I was playing; it was mainly Bill.

I lol'd, then lol'd again. Then came back to it an hour later and lol'd once more.
I understand the Meme with Louis and pills, but thats because hes a SWB (Survivor While being Black) I might think.
I found Francis' Dislikes limited. He Dislikes EVERYTHING! He'll tell you to "I hate Swamps. I hate Zombies. I Hate Mountains. (and its a good user made map) I hate (Insert random thing)"

It was bill who said "pills here!" for me as well, but it was always Louis who would ninja his way over and CONSUME them for no reason at all. You always had to be quite quick to actually ever get pills...

I think that people got that whole 'Louis <3s Pillz' thing from the way he says happily that the pills are there. Other characters sound rather indifferent, but then again Louis is happy go lucky about everything (except the beginning of Crash Course ). But yeah, I agree when it comes to Francis: likes - vests. Dislikes - everything else.
