It feels weird giving my thoughts in text form...


-The mission is indeed really cozy. Very fun silly jokes, and also heartwarming feels.

-Tiny Tim is the Blackadder Tiny Tim!

-I thought there would be an ultra bonus objective for also dropping Tiny Tim's half-eaten fruitcake chunk into the pit - because who knows, it might split itself and grow back into an army of them. Alas.

-As I was traipsing around town trying to find Liesl's house, I ended up laughing in spite of myself - here I was, strolling around town in a black hood and cloak with an unconscious kid over my shoulder - I mean I'm doing a good deed, but try convincing anyone of that!

-You know pukey brunster's involved when we get those wonderful weird old advertisements. I especially liked the subtle humor of the poster saying they use no harmful food colorings in their candy, and then ten feet away is another poster advertising "tri-color crackers". Hmm.

-Loved the heart growing three sizes note.

-Also the "immaculate contraction" joke was wonderfully stupid (and I mean that in the best possible way).

-For hours I just had looping in my head, "I saw three ships come sailing in..." They just want to make sure Garrett doesn't miss any part of the song by restarting it every time he comes near. So considerate!

-I had trouble putting the star on the tree. I did some crazy rope shenanigans by putting one rope on the high beam and then another short length of rope on top of the tree, and jumping to it. From what I read apparently I could have just reached the tree top from the beam rope? Ah well.

-Breaking into someone's apartment, stealing their letter, and mailing it without their permission? Good deed. Rescuing a lost orphan child from the sewers and bringing her home? Not a good enough deed. Come on, if you want into the ice garden, you gotta start trying, man.

-After I started finding more sugar plumsies throughout the mission, it occurred to me what would happen if I ate the first one before using it for the headache potion, so I reloaded to find out, but it turns out the first one was a non-consumable quest item. Drat. Good design wins again.

-I love missions where Garrett is a softie. He'll never tell Basso he did any good deeds, he'll just act tough and cynical and pretend it was a total chore.

-The whole fruitcakes side plot was hilarious, and the reward even more so. One thing I thought of later but didn't try was trying to fall into the pit just as it filled in with Christmas cheer to see if I could get stuck or something.

-What's algebrey (algebra?) and how would you use it to throw a giant fruitcake down a chute?

That's all I can recall off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more. Anyway, I loved it. :thumb:
