What Linus Bruckman Saw
« on: 23 Nov 2009, 15:56 »
Hey! It's Linus' third birthday!

In those three years, I've had something like 50,000 downloads from my site and 160 people have added their names to the Hall of Completion.  So, like 1 in every 300 downloaders goes on to finish the game.

Anyway, I figured after three years that I could release a video of the game's "best" ending (the one you get after completing both halves simultaneously).  People brave enough to actually complete the game still have the exclusive privilege to add their names to the Hall of Completion, though!

So, if you want to beat Linus without spoilers, then by all means download it now! (and grab Nik's soundtrack while you're at it!)  But if you just want to watch the ending, go ahead and do so on the YouTubes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-NqUsm51_Y

I've always wanted to beat this game. I've just never felt manly enough.

Well, beating the game will add on up to three inches...

By the way, I forgot to mention here that my wife is playing the nurse at the end, and I'm playing the other guy!  That's right, I got my wife to dress up in a nurse's uniform and let me take pictures of her!

I had forgotten about this... :) This ending is so cool!

And yes, the game is quite hard, until you figure out what you need to do! ;)

Aw, it would've been awesome if Dr. Knox strolled in at the end with his magical drug.

How much for some pictures of you in a nurse's uniform without having to play the bloody game?

I feel privileged to be included in the Hall of Completion!  I believe number 66?  Great game, it really made me think while playing it to the end.

Yep. Definitely one of the most satisfying games to complete.
