I know a secret~
It regards Dr. Muto. I really should update the walkthrough, but I've been cornered with a daily 12 hour shift and I'm dead tired. I better get my fucking pay soon.
I finished painting my first Warhammer 40k model. It's just an ork slugga boy, but it's pretty damn good for a first. My friend, known as Xeldan online, gave me two razorbacks for my orks! the one he put together was kinda shitty though... I need more ideas on how to make a tank look destroyed and rebuilt, or otherwise commandeered by a race of warmongering berserkers. I should probably get a few mek boyz too.

Did I mention I'm a security guard now? yeah. I get a lot of reading done now. This past week though I've been away at 2 family functions. First, my mom's mom turns 80. I say she's senile, but she might just be old. Second, a cousin on my dad's side gets married. I don't know her that well, at least no farther than knowing her age... oh wait, I forgot that too. Something like 25. I was an usher, along side her brother. He's okay, especially considering how crazy my dad's side is. He could do with a real job though. and a hair cut.
My room is hot. Not even the brand spankin new air conditioner helps. The only time my room is cool is when either the computer is off, or everything else but the ceiling fan is off. And, it's supposed to be the coldest room in the house. Of course, getting a GeForce4 Ti4600 only made it hotter. I'm going to have to get a new PC just for a better cooling setup. I keep saying i need an air conditioner for my room. mom doesn't bite.

WORD.
specifically on the Hydro Station. Thank you, Fredric Mora!
"Those missing isotopes you are talking about was a problem that even the testers for this game had a hard time finding. Generally the isotopes the testers had missing were in the underwater cave mazes you had to swim in before you had to do the mission where you destroy the submarines, but here's the even funnier part.....you'll hate the designers for this:
"As hard as it is to navigate within the maze, some isotopes were "accidentally placed" too close to the walls or the floor so that you literally had to scrape along the wall (or the floor) to get it. You had to rotate your camera to a certain view to even begin to see it.
"This problem happened because designers generally placed their isotopes in the world in a haphazard manner, but sometimes artists would change the art of a level and the designers (being the geniuses they are) decided not to make a note of where all of them were placed and could not fix it.
"Some people may say they have found them all and it could possibly be true because this is the situation that happened: A couple of versions before the game sent off to be mass produced, no tester could still get every isotope, but I think (and this is a big "I think") that one version was sent out, the isotopes were fixed later, and then another version was sent. It is possible for there to be two versions of muto out because MIDWAY is EXTREMELY NOTORIOUS FOR DOING THIS. They did the same for Gauntlet Dark Legacy and Rush.
"Also, when this design issue of missing isotopes was brought up, the producers told us that "Hey as long as the player gets 80 percent of the total in game isotopes then that's all they really need. There's nothing if you get 100.00% of the isotopes. It's still the same reward as getting 80.00% of the isotopes." I know this sounds lazy, but they were pressed for time and just wanted to ship the product."
so that's the deal.
Fredric Mora was a product analyst on the Dr. Muto team, but has sinced stopped working for Midway. So, don't expect any support from Midway regarding this issue.

Update, Update, UPDATE
Damn, being the only one to have a walkthrough on Dr. Muto is freaking awesome, but at the same time, I get these THINGS, I think they're called... E-mails? I get about 1 or two per week. I'm happy to help most of the people who come my way, but when it comes to something I haven't completed yet, I feel like such a bastard for slacking off. Truth is I love games Far too much, but I have a habit of taking looong breaks from some of them that get on my nerves. I started the Walkthrough long before I reached that impass, so I had no idea how I'd deal with it if I got, god forbid, BORED with it.
Also, I have the curse of being born WITHIN society, so I have certain obligations relating to earning money and giving it to people who allow me to live. Lucky for me, my parents aren't broke, so I can survive without too much worry, but once I fail to pay the monthly bill, it's Good Bye Entertainment. I'm waiting on a youth-in-residence thing at SAW Video so it'll be a few days before I got NUTS looking for a job.
Of course, I'm still a big fat slacker. I'm SO sorry for those I have yet to give useful information. I recommend hanging around the GameFAQs Message Board so you can get help from more people than just me, although I seem to be the only one answering questions.
Oh Oh! Fredric Mora (Midway Product Analyst) sent me an e-mail:
"Let me be the first person to congratulate you on being the FIRST PERSON EVER to even begin attempting to write a FAQ for DR. Muto.
"I am actually a Midway employee and I must say you are the first person to ever break the perception that no one would ever begin to figure out this game and that's mostly because the game is just awfully designed, has pretty bad controls, (and as you start playing into Flotos) how ambigous some of the mission objectives are. Don't even get me started on the numerous bugs you can use to exploit gameplay in MUTO.
"A lot of the co-workers and I in my department had a running gag that no one would ever bother to begin writing a FAQ for this game since only like 10 people have bought this game so far and that they would likely give up halfway through Aquem.
"But overall I am certainly impressed with your efforts on your FAQ. That is highly ambitious."
And then he gave me his e-mail address so I could ask some questions. But don't expect him to get any tips on beating missions.

Things are not so good. :(
I was laid off due to lack of income at my location. I'm not bitter, because the sales thing really wasn't for me. I think I'm too honest. ^_^ It was a good three months though, and the manager would be happy to be a referrence for me.
My biggest concern right now is this fucking ear infection. Losing my hearing would be detrimental to my preferred proffession. (too many double letters?) I'm musically inclined, and I'd like to be an audio technician, making music sound better. Though the walk-in doctor says it shouldn't be a problem, it's been 3 days and my ear feels like it has an ear plug in it. At least I can chew without extreme pain now...
My work on helpful video game stuff is picking up. IGN has now caught wind of my FFX sphere grid, and say I could make an HTML intro for it. We shall see how that goes. As for Dr. Muto, it's been a real pain in the ass, because the game was so well made, It took me longer to just get through the game than I expected. Jak and Daxter only took 2 days to get 100%. Maximo took a week. (that's solid game play) Sly Cooper was almost a challenge, but I haven't played it in a while. Dr. Muto is the best platformer I've set my hands on, so expect that to take some time before my next update.
If traffic picks up on this website, I might have to add more stuff. On the other hand, I'm a lazy bastard. Too bad....

Been a while since I posted anything! Well, I got a job at Radio Shack. It's good, but I've been slacking on the online learning, so i don't get much comission. I've not been playing as many games as I'd like to because I spend more time sleeping now, recovering from the daily crap-fest of dumbass customers. The schedule is not fixed, so it's hard to plan time for any specific activity.
I'm going to see if I can freelance my writing skill by writing walkthroughs for games. I'm working on Dr. Muto, mainly because there were no other FAQs around. It's a wacky fun game, but it's causing me grief from lack of assistance. ah well, c'est la vie.

*sigh* still screwed. did I mention I got FFX despite the confiscation? yeah, my parents aren't good at hiding/confiscating.
Mom found GeekMaids in a magazine, said it was a cool idea. I said "sweet" but now I need to convince my sister's freelance computer geek boyfriend to help me with preparation. and the JobConnect people are catching on to my slothness.
If I ever did anything for Haloween again, it'd probably involve rollerblades, a reaper costume, and haunting other trick-or-treaters. of course, this would require careful planning and preparation as well. first, I need custom fitted blades for my big-ass feet, strong enough to keep my big ass off the ground. second, I'd need a black robe that goes just a bit over the blades, though not enough to risk my own safety. third, I'd need to learn to skate without ruining either the costume or myself, let alone the haunt. fourth, I need something for the face and hands to make them more reaper-esque. I once had some skelly gloves, but they were horribly undersized. Lastly, and most importantly, a reaper cannot reap without a SCYTHE! of course, I would not go so far as to use a real one, but it'd have to look creepy enough to make the kiddies pee their costumes.
oh well

yeah, I'm totally screwed. through no fault other than my own. and that really bites. I suppose I shouldn't skip my prozac so much. *sigh*... my computer and PS2 are confiscated. 100% suck. TV is suck. food is suck. sleep is the only freedom I have. well... as a bum anyway. I'm so lucky to have parents that still care. but they still suck too. suck+suck=suck. ergo, I suck. *sigh*...
definitely need that prozac.
