Dr Micks reaction to Reed is everything I could have hoped for. Also, really love the Johnny stuff in this part!

54:23 that part caught me off guard while playing the game too. I immediately tried to look at him and getting a feedback from the character saying "nope, you dont do that" was brilliant. It made me feel extremely uneasy. Kudos to writers, in lots of other games you wouldnt be able try that at all. So the writers understood the human behavior.

1:11:01 as myers said about reed, “man of principle”

Honestly Johnny's whole perspective of this DLC is the part of the DLC that I was most excited for you to critique and speak on. Also how Reed mirrors him.

Dr.Mick you just made my day. Thank you for another episode!

Comment for the Algorithm before I watch this, lets go! Excited for Mr. Solomon Reed.

i remember watching the original cyberpunk playthrough and adoring it, same thing here!! phantom lib is such an amazing dlc and seeing someone else go deep about the characters, their relationships, rather than just strictly gameplay is so so amazing. loving this playthrough so much, thank you for making it!!

Also if you're playing then uploading each episode, and haven't prerecorded all of this and already finished, definitely get spatial mapping for your mantis blades with the next relic perk point. Turns you into Wolverine, leaping up to 30 meters across the battlefield with them to hit targets. Super useful.

is it me or did the first reed interaction glitch

Hi Dr. Mick! I just discovered your stuff and love it, been skimming through the original playthrough to see your thoughts on some of my favorite moments in the game. Question: did you play through the "blistering love" and "chippin' in" parts of the base game? The one that ends with you visiting the oil fields with Johnny. It's sorta hard to find which episode you might have done it, if at all. It's an optional questline that many players can easily miss, especially if they don't trust Johnny at all after his all night bender with the pills in V's body, but some pretty great catharsis comes from it at the end too. You seem to have taken an interesting route through the base game, leaving Transmission for almost the very end. Just wondering if you did play those quests and if so, around what episode? If you did but don't remember which episode, I'll just find them myself, don't worry. Thanks again!

I can't tell, maybe it's me but I think your Vsync is acting up (or non-existant) Sometimes my youtube does this, but it seems to be pretty bad on this video.
