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.

If I remember properly, the reason soo many have louis with the "pills" line is because the game has more custom lines and more general enthusiasm lines for him when he finds them over the other players.

And if you haven't noticed yet, in the game Francis will often say "I hate *insert hated thing here*" like "I hate zombies. I hate hospitals. I hate small towns. I hate Louis." etc. XD So he pretty much hates everything besides vests...
Get it?

I wasn't aware Francis liked anything except vests. And Louis doesn't like peelz, he worships them.
You've played the game, right?
