.
00:00:00
It's the Summary!
00:00:01
I love Summary episodes.
00:00:03
I'm excited.
00:00:04
First one of the season.
00:00:07
Thank you for coming back from our replay reviews.
00:00:09
My name is Leah.
00:00:10
And my name is Cathy.
00:00:11
We are two friends who are here to replay, review, and analyze your favorite video games.
00:00:16
And since Cathy has never seen the games before, it helps me view them through her fresh eyes,
00:00:20
almost like I'm discovering them again for the first time.
00:00:23
We hope it will be a similar experience for you.
00:00:32
Topic 1.
00:00:33
Burning Questions.
00:00:35
So the first one is, what was Wei's true mission?
00:00:39
Revenge or Law and Order?
00:00:40
Yeah, so basically, what do you think Wei's real reason for doing this was?
00:00:47
Is it more for revenge from what happened to his sister, or is he actually, as a cop,
00:00:54
wanting to take down the Triad?
00:00:56
What did you say?
00:00:57
Well, we see Wei do a lot of things that are pretty far outside the scope of what I think
00:01:04
we would all consider acceptable police work.
00:01:08
And for example, he assists in revenge for Mrs. Chu when he captures Johnny the Rat Face.
00:01:15
He even kinda self-admits guilt when he turns off the bug that's in the Golden Koi.
00:01:21
And he also delivers Dog Eyes to the same fate.
00:01:25
And even on the way to deliver him to her, he says something along the lines of he would
00:01:31
like to do it himself.
00:01:33
And I almost feel like he sorta uses Mrs. Chu to keep his hands slightly more clean
00:01:38
in getting rid of Dog Eyes.
00:01:40
I mean, he had motive with Mimi's history.
00:01:44
I don't know if even he really knew what his true reasons for doing this were.
00:01:51
I think he wants to be a cop, a good cop, but I think he doesn't have the, I don't
00:01:58
know, emotional intelligence to not allow himself to indulge in the criminal side of
00:02:04
things.
00:02:05
I think that's fair.
00:02:06
For me, it's like a mix of half and half that he's the law and order enough that he doesn't
00:02:12
get in trouble again.
00:02:14
But the revenge isn't necessarily for his sister because he would have heard something
00:02:19
saying that this is for Mimi or get more of a storyline of it.
00:02:23
I think it's revenge for the people he's become brothers with in a way.
00:02:29
Like for Winston, for Jackie.
00:02:31
So I feel like it's revenge for the people he cares about, but not for Mimi, which is
00:02:39
terrible because I feel like had they flushed the storyline more, they could have done more
00:02:44
with it.
00:02:46
I see it more as, and there is a little bit more brought up in the case files that we'll
00:02:51
read.
00:02:52
I see your point, and especially with Jackie, but with the rest of it, I almost wonder if
00:02:57
he uses the brotherhood betrayal more as an excuse to do what he does for Mimi.
00:03:07
Because I really think Mimi's at the heart of it because Dog Eyes says, like he mentions
00:03:12
her every time that they interact.
00:03:16
So I feel like at least for the Dog Eyes murder assist, accomplice to murder, I feel like for
00:03:22
that one, Mimi's at the heart of it.
00:03:25
But for the rest of it, yeah, is it just pent up rage because of what happened to his family
00:03:30
or is it what happened to his new family?
00:03:35
So moving on to question two.
00:03:38
What will Wei do next?
00:03:40
We know Tang's quote where she says, which Hong Kong referencing are you going to be
00:03:45
triad or are you going to be law enforcement?
00:03:47
So what do you think, Kathy?
00:03:51
I think it's going to be law enforcement, but doing some undercover work, or maybe he's
00:03:58
going to maybe take over Raymond's job of being a supportive handler for another undercover
00:04:05
agent.
00:04:06
Ultimately, he would be involved with the Sun on Yee in some way of just trying to continue
00:04:14
to maintain, I guess, a cleaner and healthier Hong Kong in a way.
00:04:20
He has the connections with Sister Jing and from the ending, we know Sister Jing and Pockmark
00:04:25
still see him with some level of respect.
00:04:28
So maybe using that type of relationship that he already has, he can try to support making
00:04:36
Hong Kong a cleaner place with minimizing the drug trafficking, the sex trafficking,
00:04:42
keeping people like Sunny Wo out of the city.
00:04:45
So he would be in the law enforcement with some kind of engagement with the triad.
00:04:51
My answer, it kind of contains your answer.
00:04:54
But I...
00:04:57
Way staying in Hong Kong, it just seems like a bad idea.
00:05:01
Him saying it feels like home is bad for him.
00:05:04
He's potentially made enemies on both sides of Hong Kong.
00:05:09
And in my opinion, the best thing for him is to just leave.
00:05:14
He doesn't have anyone left, really.
00:05:16
Jackie's dead.
00:05:18
Everyone else is dead, other than Tang and Jing.
00:05:22
Which we could see that set up the same situation once again later down the line.
00:05:27
You know, maybe Tang or Raymond move up the ranks and need a way to help control the triad.
00:05:32
Those are loyalties he's made on one side.
00:05:34
On the other side, he helped Jing get to where she is, running the triad.
00:05:39
That's another loyalty he's created.
00:05:42
He'll just always be stuck here if he doesn't move on.
00:05:46
That's how I see it.
00:05:47
If he doesn't pick a side, eventually he's like dead.
00:05:51
You know, I think it's just gonna be the same situation.
00:05:54
We saw how that wore him down.
00:05:57
We saw how many times his life was in danger.
00:06:00
I really think the best thing for him is to just get out of Hong Kong.
00:06:04
I agree with you, because it's the better option, but I just don't think it's gonna
00:06:08
happen.
00:06:09
Yeah, I think he's too attached to all of it.
00:06:13
He's sunk so much into it.
00:06:15
Which is understandable.
00:06:17
Okay.
00:06:19
So question three, final burning question.
00:06:22
I believe this was yours.
00:06:24
What happened to Raymond?
00:06:26
Do you want to start it off?
00:06:28
Yeah, according to the Sleeping Dogs Wikipedia fan page, which don't come at me for my sources,
00:06:36
he probably becomes a superintendent.
00:06:39
But if I didn't read that information and didn't know, I actually thought that he would
00:06:44
be arrested because of his hermit.
00:06:48
We have such opposite opinions of Raymond.
00:06:51
It's amazing.
00:06:53
I'm excited.
00:06:54
Continue.
00:06:55
Sorry.
00:06:56
I just don't trust him.
00:06:57
I don't trust him.
00:06:58
Yeah, so he would probably be arrested because he knew Pendrew was doing all that stuff.
00:07:05
He didn't seem like he had a backbone to report something to internal affairs of what Pendrew
00:07:10
was doing and help collect evidence.
00:07:13
He would be like guilty by association, in my opinion, with knowing what Pendrew doing,
00:07:18
doing nothing about it, and just still giving away so much crap when he's trying to do the
00:07:22
right thing.
00:07:24
I know he tried to redeem himself towards the end, but still, it's not enough.
00:07:29
It's just so funny that we have such different opinions of him because I don't think he
00:07:34
ever did anything wrong.
00:07:36
I don't think he knew about Pendrew being crooked until the last chapter of the game.
00:07:43
It sounds like he did test the waters on blowing the whistle, but knows that Pendrew is the
00:07:49
only one that they listen to.
00:07:51
I think Raymond is just a by-the-book cop, which led to headbutting with Wei, which leads
00:07:56
to us not liking him at first because he is kind of annoying when he's treating Wei like
00:08:02
that, but I don't think he's crooked.
00:08:06
As far as what happened to him, I said nothing much.
00:08:10
I think there's a good chance he took over Pendrew's position as he was on Wei's side
00:08:14
when he discovered Pendrew was crooked.
00:08:17
Wei having the irrefutable evidence to prove it means Raymond can back him up and be recognized
00:08:22
for his proper work.
00:08:24
I could see that.
00:08:25
He probably just got moved up, but probably pretty mild story for Raymond.
00:08:31
Yeah.
00:08:32
I see your side of the argument.
00:08:35
I just don't trust the man.
00:08:37
I can see that even if he's by the book and everything, the vibes aren't right, in my
00:08:42
opinion.
00:08:43
Well, and you can be too by the book, which maybe that's where our signals are crossed
00:08:47
because he was by the book, but the one giving him the book was Pendrew for a large portion
00:08:53
of this game.
00:08:54
So when a crooked cop is giving you the rules, you're following the rules, but the rules
00:08:58
are broken.
00:08:59
All right.
00:09:01
Moving away from burning questions into topic number two.
00:09:04
This is all about the canceled sequel.
00:09:08
What would it have been?
00:09:09
Would it have been good?
00:09:11
And if we had our way, what would the sequel be?
00:09:14
So point one, what research did you find about the sequel?
00:09:19
So again, Wikipedia being my source, it talked about a continuation of where the game ended
00:09:26
in the picks up when Wei ends up having a corrupt partner, Henry Feng, and it's set
00:09:32
in the Pearl River Delta, still in China.
00:09:36
There's going to be some new component of the game talking about a second screen app
00:09:41
for mobile devices that the player would be able to interact with the world within the
00:09:46
game.
00:09:48
And then you'd play as the inspector Tang.
00:09:51
So I guess you have two parts to it.
00:09:53
You also like work as the police force and control the territories, and then you make
00:09:58
your choices as Wei.
00:10:01
I mean, that's pretty much what I found.
00:10:03
Yeah, Wei's still a cop, which I guess this answers our question about what Wei would
00:10:09
do next.
00:10:10
It seems he would stay in Hong Kong, but move to a different area at least and continue
00:10:14
to be a cop.
00:10:15
A few sources I found said he was no longer undercover, just a straight up cop, but others
00:10:21
said that he still would be undercover.
00:10:25
And yeah, it sounds like there's Wei and there's his corrupt partner, and you would have played
00:10:31
as both characters in their own stories, which would have affected each other, which sounds
00:10:35
pretty cool.
00:10:36
One of the ideas, the cloud data thing of the level of criminal activity in the city
00:10:43
is based off of other players' actions and averaged out.
00:10:47
That's such a cool idea where everyone affects the same world.
00:10:51
I think that's a great idea.
00:10:54
And then yeah, playing as Tang on the mobile device piece of it.
00:10:59
They're doing too much with that one, I think.
00:11:01
I would love to see Tang, but I'd rather her be in the game than like a mobile app.
00:11:08
What do you think?
00:11:09
Would it have been good based off of what we found?
00:11:12
Similar to you, I think it would have been exciting, but I'm worried that they're trying
00:11:16
to do too much and then you'd end up having to cut things like heavy rain where then you
00:11:22
have a game that doesn't quite make sense because of the way you're cutting things.
00:11:27
I also don't think it would have been a great idea to have another corrupt partner for Wei
00:11:33
because it's just like repeating the whole Pendra storyline where you have someone corrupt
00:11:38
and even though Tang wasn't and Raymond wasn't, still, it's too similar.
00:11:44
If I could write our own sequel to it, it would be more towards what happened to the
00:11:49
18k because I don't think it just ends with big smiley.
00:11:53
I think there's more of it.
00:11:56
I feel like we just didn't get a really good conclusion of it.
00:12:00
It could be like a new member with an 18k decides to seek revenge and it's Wei fighting
00:12:08
for his life.
00:12:09
It's not about the HKPD and police work.
00:12:12
It's about Wei just trying to deal with the aftermath of taking down the Sun on Yi.
00:12:17
Then maybe his partner could be named instead of Henry, like Will because where there's
00:12:22
a will, there's a way.
00:12:24
You were waiting for that.
00:12:26
You were waiting to say that.
00:12:30
Okay.
00:12:33
Well, I do agree that I would like to see more fallout from what he did.
00:12:42
I also agree that another corrupt partner is kind of odd.
00:12:45
Maybe that intermingling two storylines would have been better for the first game and maybe
00:12:51
instead of a corrupt partner, it's more like another undercover cop.
00:12:56
The other undercover cop turns against the police and Wei has to get him back or something
00:13:02
like that.
00:13:03
Something where it's more ingrained in the triad.
00:13:07
Speaking of the fallout of what happened, I would have liked to see the Tang-slash-Raymond-versus-Jang
00:13:15
loyalties.
00:13:16
I want to see how he struggles with that.
00:13:19
What are the repercussions for him helping somebody rise up in the triad?
00:13:26
Did he do that as a cop or did he do that to take down people to get revenge?
00:13:31
That's what I would like to see is how would Wei balance those two loyalties.
00:13:37
I agree because if they make a new game, Sleeping Dogs and then Colin fallout, that would be
00:13:44
so much more fun than to have him do the same thing over again, slightly different storyline.
00:13:52
Having him just a continuation would be so much smoother in terms of the timeline and
00:13:56
the way they can kind of reuse the same characters of having Raymond there, Tang there, Sister
00:14:03
Jane.
00:14:04
That continuation would be so perfect, but unfortunately, we'll never know.
00:14:10
So topic three, we read through some of the reports.
00:14:13
I think you were focusing on Raymond.
00:14:15
Did you find much?
00:14:16
No, I didn't find much.
00:14:17
I think from his perspective, his reports, because he wrote some, there's that, but there
00:14:22
really isn't much besides him just really not supporting Wei being the undercover agent.
00:14:28
Yeah, I was hoping you'd find your answers about his backstory.
00:14:33
I know I wanted that, but they just don't care about him.
00:14:39
So I was more focusing on Wei, just to summarize the multiple evaluations of him.
00:14:46
He's very smart.
00:14:47
He was a great student, but his association with criminals led to some behavioral issues.
00:14:54
Wei is also identified as a chameleon, as he grew up without one singular cultural identity,
00:15:00
as they put it.
00:15:02
And the reviewer states that this makes him an excellent choice for adapting to his undercover
00:15:05
positions, but that his lack of identity may lead to him becoming too attached.
00:15:11
And their quote is, if the chameleon is left too long in a given environment, he may forget
00:15:16
his original color.
00:15:18
Controlling officers must be careful to ensure that Shen's first loyalty is the police department
00:15:23
and that the chameleon doesn't change permanently.
00:15:26
So I feel like this has some implications on why Raymond treated Wei so harshly.
00:15:33
If he's reading this report, he's scared of Wei flipping.
00:15:37
Does that change any of your perspective on Raymond at all?
00:15:40
I'm not surprised he had that type of assessment just because of the way he acted in the game.
00:15:46
Yeah.
00:15:47
I just, I know he's by the books kind of guy.
00:15:51
It doesn't say anything about his character though.
00:15:54
No, I think it just gives us a reason as to why he was so controlling with Wei.
00:16:03
But later a revised psych evaluation states that Officer Shen remains fully aware of who
00:16:08
he is, his role as an undercover officer, and the rule of law.
00:16:12
But then at the end of this report, there's a note that says, do not show to HKPD, union
00:16:18
lawyers or defense counsel, analyst biased.
00:16:22
So I don't know who wrote this report, but the first psych report was some person I've
00:16:25
never heard of, like Christina or something.
00:16:29
So I don't know who the biased officer is.
00:16:32
Maybe she was just cut from the final cut.
00:16:38
Because otherwise I feel like this is just fluff.
00:16:40
There's nothing important to it.
00:16:43
It does almost sound like a scrapped storyline of Wei in a way infiltrating the police department.
00:16:50
I don't know.
00:16:51
It just seems important, but we don't understand.
00:16:53
We didn't get all the information.
00:16:56
Point two about Wei is San Francisco.
00:16:58
So this is where we learn what actually happened in San Francisco, Kathy.
00:17:03
It was in 2010.
00:17:05
The police found a body that looked like he had been pretty brutally attacked and then
00:17:09
shot in the head.
00:17:11
Internal Affairs received a confidential tip that Wei was the murderer and that he did
00:17:19
so because this person gave Mimi a fatal dose of heroin.
00:17:25
I'm curious who ratted him out.
00:17:29
I mean, not implying that Wei did do it.
00:17:32
Yeah, it sounds like Wei was undercover in a gang called Tong at the time.
00:17:38
Wei had reported the incident and the evidence of his sister's death, but it was ignored.
00:17:44
They quickly figured out that he was an undercover officer.
00:17:48
It's a little more than I was expecting.
00:17:51
It's more backstory than I was expecting us to get.
00:17:54
I think it's great, but I don't know if it adds necessary information to the whole game.
00:18:02
All this backup information about his sister and everything.
00:18:06
I feel like we already know enough.
00:18:09
Yeah, well, it's optional information.
00:18:11
It's an optional read, but I think what it does is it gives just more understanding for
00:18:19
why Wei acts the way he does.
00:18:22
So in this same news article, there's a quote where they say, what's different this time
00:18:28
is that two of the key suspects may in fact be undercover police officers.
00:18:33
And then later, there's a quote from the SFPD spokesperson who said, this kind of rumor
00:18:40
mongering and suspicion has no place in respectable journalism.
00:18:45
So a couple takeaways for me is it sounds like there's more than one undercover police officer,
00:18:51
which to me makes this sound like a good idea for a prequel, but also the PD denied it.
00:18:59
Do you think maybe someone at the SFPD maybe wrote Wei's psych evaluation, the one that
00:19:06
was marked biased?
00:19:08
Yes.
00:19:10
It's possible.
00:19:12
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a reason if I said no, why it wouldn't be, and I can't think
00:19:19
of a reason why it wouldn't be.
00:19:22
Anything else that you want to go over in the reports?
00:19:26
All right, then everybody's favorite topic.
00:19:31
Are you ready for the KFC awards?
00:19:35
KFC, Kathy's favorite character.
00:19:38
The first one, stale biscuit.
00:19:40
So these are people that I don't like or are just stale and personality bland.
00:19:46
Kind of makes it both just people I don't like.
00:19:50
Why are they there kind of characters?
00:19:53
Yeah, pretty much.
00:19:55
So I have a list you can choose from.
00:19:57
I won't give you a list for the other ones just because they're a lot smaller, but this
00:20:00
one was as I was typing it out, I was like, the list was growing.
00:20:04
So I narrowed it down to one big smiley to those ladies talking about his flower pot
00:20:11
that was missing.
00:20:13
Three, Sunny Woe, four, King, five, Pendrew.
00:20:20
Okay, big smiley I feel like is too evil.
00:20:27
He's too much of a villain to be stale.
00:20:30
I think the pot ladies, I had some laughs at them.
00:20:34
So I'm going to cross them off the list.
00:20:37
Who is next, Sunny?
00:20:38
I feel like we hate him too much.
00:20:43
I'm with Pendrew, so I think it has to be King.
00:20:46
King was really close.
00:20:47
I almost chose King, but ultimately I just couldn't get over how disgusting Sunny is
00:20:52
and just kind of like stale biscuits, knowing I want them.
00:20:56
So I did go back to choosing Sunny, but you're close.
00:21:00
Okay, second category is KFC.
00:21:04
So we'll do KFC.
00:21:06
Kathy's favorite character.
00:21:07
I'm not going to give you a list.
00:21:09
Okay.
00:21:10
Well, I feel like an obvious one would be Wei.
00:21:14
And then we have Jackie.
00:21:17
Mrs. Chu and Peggy, I feel like could be in the running as well as Tang.
00:21:23
I'm going to guess...
00:21:26
Ooh, I'm between Mrs. Chu and Tang, but I think I have to say Tang.
00:21:33
Oh, okay.
00:21:34
I could see why you said that, but I actually put Jackie on it.
00:21:38
I don't think I would typically would have put Jackie on it, but his one really redeeming
00:21:45
moment that gave me that Shinji vibes from Yakuza, Kiwami, was when he was just so genuinely
00:21:52
excited for Wei becoming a Red Bull.
00:21:54
I feel like that just certified him to being one of my favorite characters because that
00:21:59
moment was just really sweet.
00:22:01
It was.
00:22:02
Jackie was cool.
00:22:04
So moving on to the third one, post-game Kentucky Scorcher.
00:22:08
So these are a character that I think is good looking and I am biased.
00:22:14
This is the whole point of doing it a post-game and I guess I go blind Kentucky Scorcher.
00:22:21
But again, I'll let you choose who you think I chose.
00:22:28
The obvious answer is Wei, but I feel like you don't usually pick the obvious answer.
00:22:34
I know.
00:22:35
Let us not forget Heavy Rain.
00:22:40
Go back and watch that episode.
00:22:43
It wasn't my fault.
00:22:47
I'm going to go with the obvious answer and say Wei.
00:22:50
Oh no, he shouldn't have.
00:22:52
I actually chose Pokmark.
00:22:56
He just seems so cool, calm, and collected on the outside.
00:23:00
The way he carries himself just makes him better looking, I guess.
00:23:05
I see it.
00:23:07
I thought it was going to be a close call between Wei and Pokmark, but just the way
00:23:13
he carries himself is so much better than Wei.
00:23:16
Well, I guess we need to go back to a month ago to see who you picked out of the list
00:23:23
I gave you.
00:23:24
Pokmark was not on that list.
00:23:26
I provided you pictures of Raymond, Conroy, Winston, Wei, Ricky, and Jackie.
00:23:35
The notes that you left me.
00:23:37
You said, I have to go with Four, which is Wei.
00:23:41
He's looking the least thug-like.
00:23:43
The tats peeking out also looks good.
00:23:48
Number Five, that's Ricky, isn't bad looking, but number Four beats him as the blind Kentucky
00:23:54
Scorcher.
00:23:55
However, I think Five looks to be a relative of number Four because of the similar hairstyles
00:24:02
and jawlines.
00:24:03
Also, why does number Three give off Mad Jack vibes from Heavy Rain?
00:24:08
That's Winston.
00:24:10
Oh, Mad Jack, aiming for the peen every time.
00:24:16
Poor Jayden.
00:24:17
I think it would have been so ironic if I chose Raymond as my blind KS.
00:24:27
You would hate it.
00:24:28
I gotta ask you, who would your KS be?
00:24:32
I mean, Wei.
00:24:33
It would have to be Wei.
00:24:35
Everyone else is too like, roided up.
00:24:39
I don't like it.
00:24:40
Well, if you put Pokmark in it, you would get some more balance.
00:24:44
Yeah, a little more contention there.
00:24:47
What about LFC, Leah's favorite character?
00:24:52
My favorite character?
00:24:54
I don't know.
00:24:55
I kinda like Uncle Poe, but I think he's kinda stupid at the end.
00:25:01
Because he let people basically just attack him.
00:25:05
I think I kinda like Conroy though, because he's the only one that could sniff out Wei
00:25:10
was a cop until he did enough to earn his trust.
00:25:15
But I like Conroy because Winston is an ass to him, but he stays loyal.
00:25:21
And yeah, he was onto Wei.
00:25:23
I feel like that deserves some credit.
00:25:25
Conroy deserves some credit.
00:25:28
I'm really excited to see all your blind picks as the season goes on.
00:25:32
I'm really nervous.
00:25:34
So far we have had zero instances of you not changing after you know about the character's
00:25:40
personalities.
00:25:41
If you put Pokmark in it, I may have chosen him, but it's very unlikely.
00:25:50
But look, I'm gonna go extra hard this season on KFC.
00:25:54
In case you haven't listened before, KFC is Kathy's favorite character, but obviously
00:26:00
it's also chicken.
00:26:02
And that's why our categories are things like stale biscuit, Kentucky scorcher, which now
00:26:06
I think is just called a chicken sandwich.
00:26:08
But I really, really want one of their chicken warming game consoles.
00:26:14
I really want one.
00:26:16
And I'm trying so hard this year to get their attention.
00:26:19
I hope you're ready, KFC.
00:26:21
Get the Colonel situated because he's gonna have some company.
00:26:27
I want one.
00:26:29
Please.
00:26:30
Masking nicely first.
00:26:32
And if not, Leah's gonna go Tonya Harding on you, so prepare for your kneecaps.
00:26:39
Did you know she ate in our Denny's?
00:26:40
No, she did.
00:26:42
Or the Elmer's maybe?
00:26:44
One of those.
00:26:45
Yeah.
00:26:46
I think it was at the Elmer's.
00:26:47
That's not familiar.
00:26:48
I think there's a whole table where they're like, here's the Tonya Harding table.
00:26:51
Let's Google it real quick.
00:26:55
It was Elmer's.
00:26:57
Okay.
00:26:58
This Elmer's is where Tonya Harding made up her plan to kneecap the lady, the other lady.
00:27:07
What is her name?
00:27:08
I feel like we should say her name because she's the victim.
00:27:10
Is it Nancy something?
00:27:12
Yeah.
00:27:13
Nancy Kerrigan.
00:27:15
Yes.
00:27:16
This is where the plan was hatched.
00:27:20
That's crazy.
00:27:21
So our Elmer's is famous.
00:27:22
I don't know how we got there, but I'm never gonna let you forget Heavy Rain.
00:27:29
Ugh, stop it.
00:27:30
Never.
00:27:31
Okay, moving on.
00:27:37
Final topic.
00:27:38
Final topic.
00:27:40
These are the stats and or tallies counts.
00:27:44
I did not tell you what I was tracking because I feel like you can also track it a little
00:27:49
too easily.
00:27:50
I kept you in the dark this time, so I'm gonna have you guess.
00:27:53
There were two stats.
00:27:55
What do you think the first one was?
00:27:58
Headshots or pedestrian pancakes?
00:28:01
I'm gonna do pee-pees.
00:28:05
Yes.
00:28:06
There were pee-pees in this game.
00:28:12
Pedestrian pancakes.
00:28:13
Go back and watch or listen to our mafia section.
00:28:18
What do we call it?
00:28:20
Analysis?
00:28:21
Yeah.
00:28:22
I don't know.
00:28:23
Go back to the mafia playthrough, I guess.
00:28:25
You'll learn about pee-pees.
00:28:27
But they're pedestrian pancakes.
00:28:29
This is how many times I ran over a person.
00:28:32
So how many pedestrian pancakes do you think there were?
00:28:38
I feel like you had two to four each part.
00:28:43
So if there's five parts, I feel like 20 is too high.
00:28:47
But at the same time, a lot of people are flying out of your way.
00:28:51
Is it 18?
00:28:53
Is that too low or too high?
00:28:58
Too high.
00:28:59
Too high.
00:29:00
Nine?
00:29:01
Ten.
00:29:02
Ten pee-pees.
00:29:03
My guessing in the past games have been pretty darn terrible.
00:29:13
No, you were...
00:29:15
Maybe it was Outlast.
00:29:16
There was one game where you were really close.
00:29:19
Yeah.
00:29:20
And there's one game I was really not close.
00:29:24
But would you like to guess the second stat of the game?
00:29:28
I feel like it has to do with some kind of fighting.
00:29:31
I want to say how many people you killed, but it's too generic.
00:29:36
I've been thinking about this for a while too.
00:29:39
Good.
00:29:40
I still don't know.
00:29:41
I think it's going to be headshots?
00:29:46
It was not headshots.
00:29:47
Okay, let me guess again.
00:29:48
I did enjoy tracking that though.
00:29:51
Number of times you leaped out of a car?
00:29:55
No.
00:29:56
I'll give you a hint.
00:29:59
Do you remember in the episode, I think it was maybe part three, in one of the episodes,
00:30:06
I said I was waiting for you to notice something and you never brought it up.
00:30:11
Oh yeah, you did tell me, but I never realized what it was.
00:30:15
I don't think you noticed it.
00:30:18
Do you want to make another guess or are you at a loss?
00:30:21
I'll make another guess.
00:30:24
It's not boob physics because we did talk about that topic.
00:30:27
Why'd you move like that?
00:30:30
What?
00:30:31
Why'd you move like the boobs do when you said that?
00:30:36
Oh yeah, it's demonstrating for you.
00:30:42
Let me hint, does it have to do with humans or inanimate objects?
00:30:46
It has to do with humans.
00:30:47
It's something that you hear around the town.
00:30:53
Like cursing, the number of times they go pokai or…
00:30:57
Nope.
00:30:59
I think you're out of guesses.
00:31:02
I think you're out.
00:31:04
It was coughs.
00:31:06
Oh, what?
00:31:09
I can't believe you never noticed this one NPC is everywhere and he's coughing constantly.
00:31:19
I'll find a clip for you.
00:31:21
What?
00:31:22
Please do tell me because I didn't notice that at all.
00:31:27
I mean obviously you know that I didn't notice it.
00:31:29
It was driving me crazy editing.
00:31:34
Go to part four.
00:31:37
Go to 1628.
00:31:41
This guy is everywhere.
00:31:48
I cannot believe you didn't notice it.
00:31:50
Especially because you hate it when people cough.
00:31:54
I don't know why I didn't realize that but it's like…
00:31:57
The thing too is that I went to Hong Kong twice before and it is very not unusual to
00:32:05
find old dudes coughing in the street without covering their mouth.
00:32:10
I think it's disgusting.
00:32:13
But I'm not surprised it happens and so I like maybe because I know it happens I like
00:32:20
tuned it out.
00:32:21
Yeah.
00:32:22
I don't know.
00:32:23
I don't know why I wouldn't notice it.
00:32:24
That makes sense.
00:32:26
What you're saying just reminded me of when my family went to Disneyland and we were in
00:32:32
line for Pirates of the Caribbean and it smelled a little stinky like sewagey maybe and these
00:32:40
two Chinese guys behind us, one of them went, oh it smells like Hong Kong.
00:32:50
It was so funny.
00:32:57
Hong Kong does give off the LA scent.
00:33:01
So would you like to guess the total number of throughout this game?
00:33:08
I didn't hear it so I don't know at all.
00:33:11
If I do 18 I'm worried that's too high.
00:33:15
Is that a guess?
00:33:17
I feel like it's less than 18.
00:33:20
I'd say 12.
00:33:23
Is that your final answer?
00:33:25
Ugh.
00:33:26
It's either 7 or 12 but I'm gonna do 12.
00:33:29
Don't tell me it's like 40 something.
00:33:30
I should have stuck with 18.
00:33:32
Was it 18?
00:33:34
It was 19.
00:33:35
19 times this guy coughed in our ears and you didn't notice.
00:33:40
Oh my gosh.
00:33:41
No I didn't.
00:33:42
I'm like so used to it.
00:33:44
I guess and the thing is my dad being from Hong Kong also coughs like that sometimes
00:33:49
or like my own whole.
00:33:50
Did he record it for them?
00:33:51
Did he record the cough?
00:33:53
He gets paid every time they use his audio.
00:33:57
I thought sure you would pick up on it.
00:34:01
I can't believe I didn't pick up on it.
00:34:03
Well I'm gonna have to think of some good stats to keep you in the dark for the next
00:34:08
game.
00:34:09
I don't like it.
00:34:10
I liked you not knowing it was fun.
00:34:12
I didn't.
00:34:13
Cause I know you've been watching me and I'm trying to figure out what exactly I'm supposed
00:34:18
to be looking for.
00:34:20
Well now you know.
00:34:21
You have an idea of what I might track.
00:34:25
So we'll see if you figure it out for the next game.
00:34:30
Speaking of anything else that you want to say to finish out Sleeping Dogs?
00:34:35
No.
00:34:36
Overall I did really enjoy this game.
00:34:42
I know in the past we were on a good run for games that I liked.
00:34:47
I think the ending is acceptable but if Wei died in the end, like backstabbed by Sister
00:34:56
Jing, I don't think I would have minded it cause everything did tie out well in a way.
00:35:03
I don't like the torture scene though.
00:35:06
It still bugs me.
00:35:07
Hits too close to home with Hachibana from Kiwami.
00:35:11
But overall I really like the game.
00:35:13
I really am grateful that my brother in law told me to have us play this game because
00:35:21
it feels like a great warm blanket with all the Cantonese speaking in the background.
00:35:26
So I liked it.
00:35:27
If they do a sequel we have to come back to it.
00:35:31
They better do a sequel.
00:35:33
They'll do it just for us cause we have such a massive pull on the gaming community.
00:35:39
Well the thing is they said there's gonna be a movie to it and it's not happening but
00:35:44
honestly I feel like the casting isn't right.
00:35:46
They shouldn't have casted Donnie Yen for that.
00:35:48
He's great for everything else but not for this role.
00:35:52
I'm really excited for the next game.
00:35:55
I really think you're gonna like it.
00:35:56
I'm looking forward to it.
00:35:58
We're gonna have an obscure quote in our outro for the next game.
